| Booked in today! Hello everyone.
I just had my first antenatal appointment today. I'm supposed to be working from home but I got so much fun stuff to look at I've hardly done anything and now I've just joined this forum and am chatting instead of working!
It's already been a a bit of a rollercoaster. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and already had three lots of bleeding (two spotting but one too fresh for comfort) and an early scan at 8 weeks. The scan showed my little bean and its beating heart but also a bleed and the midwives said I should expect more but not too worry unless painful or clotty. Had the fresh bleed since then but no pain with it and no clots and it stopped pretty smartish. Can't help but worry every single time I go to the toilet.
I was a bit disappointed to find out my next scan won't be until 14 weeks as I was looking for more reassurance next week.
Man, I'm still plenty nauseous though and talk about tender boobs! Also more tired than I've ever been in my life and I've had glandular fever! I'm constantly amazed by how much this tiny bean takes from me even though still so tiny.
What have your experiences been like? Anyone else had/having their first appointment around now? |
