Thanks hun, congrats again and thanks for your message on my page. I will add you to my sig, so nice we're due the same day.

Hi ladies been awol lately just not had chance to get on hope everyone is well. Hello to those with their bfps!

Jolene so sorry for your loss sweetie. Thinking of you hunni.

Well had a right palaver with the hospital Friday. Rang to book my scan and got through to the ward who were directing the epus calls. I told them I was ringing to book a scan as my consultant had told me to so they asked who my consultant was and then put me on hold. she came back and said you need to see your gp and book it through them.

At this point I was a pit peeved and rather snottly told her that I had it in writing that I book the scan myself. So she put me on hold and I waited and waited and waited then heard the caller has left the line.

So tried phoning again and it was engaged. After about the 6th attempt I finally got through and it turns out she accidently cut me off when speaking to my consultants secretary. She then told me that the epu closed at 12.30pm and to ring to book a scan monday morning.

I mean ffs why can you not tell me that in the first place!!! Apparantly the ward is unable to book a scan unless its through the g.p! yeah right I bet she didn't bother to look through my notes and see why I was so annoyed with her. If she had I bet she would of been more then happy to book me a scan.

So now won't know til tomorrow when I get scanned.

On a positive note digi said 3+ yesterday and lines on tests are really dark so thats reassuring. 6 weeks now yay! sickness usually kicks in by now but its just nausea first thing in the morning. Is nice to be able to enjoy the pregnancy but its also worrying as the sickness is the only sign that makes me feel like everythings ok so now I am worrying the pregnancy isn't progressing especially as my 1st loss I was the same only had nausea and no sickness.

Roll on tomorrow and hopefully they will be able to fit me in asap for a scan. I can't take this not knowing anymore just want to know baby is ok so can relax a little.

Sorry rant over just needed to get it out somewhere. x

Hi Baby tots!!

glad you feeling a bit

I am hoping that i get like that too!!

so is when did you all go to the docs?

I went at 5wk 6days last time which was friday, then ended up back at docs on the weds cos i lost it.

just wondering if i should go soon, and do i have to ask for a scan or do you think he will offer it?

also, am i likely to get a scan as i have only lost one baby?

sorry for all the questions!!!

hi girls!

wanabamummy, when i went to the GP she offered to request an early scan for me without me having to ask. But you shouldnt be afraid to ask, if you just say to him/her that you are feeling very anxious about this pregnancy and would really like it if you could have a scan soon to check viability so you are reassured, well they cant really say no! Dont be afraid to ask, doctors see this kind of thing every day so sometimes they can forget how anxious we can be about it

Leigh, UGH what a palaver you have had!! Hospitals are absolute nightmares for things like that. I hope that it all gets sorted soon and that you get your scan quickly!

to everyone else! how were your weekends?

Im still waiting on a scan date. i will call my doctor on tuesday afternoon if i havent heard anything by then. I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and am feeling nauseous on and off, mainly first thing in the morning (i wake up STARVING so i think it must be blood sugar levels causing it) and in the evening. Right now i have nausea AND heartburn, fun! exhausted from about lunchtime onwards and havent been able to stay up past 11pm for the last couple days, normally i am a total night owl and stay up until at least midnight. I have had this past week off work (i work in a bar 3 nights per week) from 6pm-12.30pm) which has been lovely, but i am dreading going back this week! dunno how i will cope with the late nights!

But yeah, even though the symptoms are hard to deal with i couldnt be more grateful for them. I would be so worried if i felt fine.

Morning ladies!

Still no real obvious symptoms, last time I had massive boobs and was hungry all the time, but this time I have vague symptoms - a little nausea occasionally, then hunger, slightly sore boobs - but not much growth!! I'm worried I want it so much I'm having a phantom pregnancy or a chemical one.

Really want a scan, but think it is too early?

Anyways, my weekend was fun, I went on a hen night to Brighton. Was kinda fun to have my little secret and make dodgy excuses for not drinking loads!! Luckily I had 1 friend who knows with me - she was very good at buying my alcohol-looking-alcohol-free drinks!! Was absolutely shattered at 8pm following the meal, but did put up a good fight and went to bed at midnight. That may explain why I was in bed at 8pm last night and have only just woken up!!!!!! Lazeeeeeebones!

Also got a stinky cold, which I find very inconvenient!! I am usually a real pill popper and would be on the sudafed now, but I'm sitting in bed with Karvol on my pillow and a bowl of menthol and eucalyptus!! Does anyone have any other baby-friendly remedies?

Babytots - did you get a scan? I sometimes think receptionists forget what we're actually going through!!

Anyways, I think I've waffled on enough!!

Have a good day,
Amy x

So sorry to hear you're suffering with a cold Amy, hope you feel better soon. I think you can take paracetamol can't you, or is that just after the first tri, can't remember. I would just say get lots of rest and keep doing what you're doing.

I know what you mean re the symptoms, I keep questioning things but then I will feel another symptom that will reassure me. They're all quite dilluted at this stage though, but then again we are v. early. I think by 6/7 weeks they should be more obvious. I did wake up feeling v. nauseous today which was reassuring but now i've eaten I feel fine again just v. tired this morning and a few twinges in my boobs. I have noticed my pregnancy bloat coming on though and suddely have huge muffin tops so recken something must be happening, unless its all the pizza and popcorn I had yesterday, lol!!! Went to see Avatar, didn't fancy it but its well worth going if you haven't seen it - great in 3D.

Anyway hope you feel better soon. Take care.

I hope the rest of you lovely ladies enjoyed your weekends.

Hiya, I had a really busy weekend but managed to get loads of sleep during the day so am feeling less tired now. I have started to feel nauseous but only in the afternoon & evening, mainly before I eat & just after I eat. Guess I'm just "special!"

I was going to ask im_mi if you had your scan date yet as I've not heard back. I was thinking of ringing tomorrow as well but maybe I should leave it a day longer as I'm a day behind you?
