I was holding out on starting my pregnancy journal until I'm 12 weeks and had a scan to confirm it, but I just can't stop myself from starting one now! Anyway here goes.....
My OH (known to some of you on this site as Bowsa) and I are expecting our 1st baby together on the 16th November 2008.
I have been with my OH since the 3rd November 2007 and we have been pretty much inseperable since. He is the most amazing guy I know and treats me like a princess. We've been through an awful lot together during the few months we've been together and despite people doing all they can to split us up it has only made us stronger. (My sister is in a relationship with his brother and as i'm 30 and my OH is almost 21 they think it is wrong that we should be happy together!)
Our little suprise was exactly that...we had been so careful...but these things happen and after the initial shock we are both over the moon! My OH is like a lil boy waiting for santa lol.
We weren't gonna tell anyone until after our 12 week scan but had an early scan and everything was ok so we decided to tell our families, after a couple of weeks we could hardly contain ourselves so have let slip to a few close friends but until we've had the scan we have decidednot to tell anyone else as I've previously had 3 miscarriages'
This time I'm feeling very positive and praying all goes well.
I have 4 boys from a previous relationship agrd 11,6,5 and 3 who are my world, Due to previous personal circumstances my 3 youngest are currently living with their dad and new wife, I miss them dreadfully everyday but we are in close contact and i have them in school holidays at the moment as my OH cannot drive due to a broken leg! As soon as he's up and running again so to speak then i get to see my babies alot more and it can't come soon enough. Ideally i'd love them back with me permanently but I don't want to go through a tug of love court battle with my ex over them so we have agreed for the time being to be adult over the situation and take things as they come. Please don't judge me for not having my kids, it doesn't mean I'm a bad mum, I just took my children away from a situation we were in and made sure they were safe. I'd cut my right arm and leg off to have them back home with me.
Anyway i could talk for Britain! I have my first midwife appointment on saturday so i'm hoping they will hear a heartbeat which will keep me reassured until i get my scan date through.
11 weeks and 5 days - first midwife appointment at 9.30 in the morning.
Since my OH and I have been together we have been inseperable and tonight he's out.
Not that I'm moaning about it,far from it, he does so much for me and always puts me first, he hasn't been out for months due to a motorbike accident and him recovering from that....just i'm lost without him and don't know what to do with myself.
I'm so nervous about my MW appointment tommorrow and not sure what to feel right now. Damn these hormones!!!!
congrats on your pregnancy and your lovely oh i have spoken to him on here and he so clearly worships the ground you walk on lucky girl!
no one will judge you for not having your kids. you got to do what you got to do life isnt always plain sailing and i think most of the girls on here will totally understand that.
big hugs and welcome

Well I just got back from my first midwife appointment at the hospital, what a palaver having to go all that way for a half hour appointment! Hope my next one is at my GP surgery instead. Rant over lol.
I’m seeing the same midwife who did all my care during my first and 3rd pregnancy so it’s really nice to have someone I feel I know looking after me.
I have still not been booked in for my scan MW thinks it'll be another 1-2 weeks before I get it, I hope it's sooner rather than later as going to the baby show on the 17th and really would like to be able to buy a few things without the worry of ' is everything ok?' All the signs are good though I’m in mat trousers today and piling on the pounds....10st 1lb....OMG!!!
I've been suffering from really bad itching most of this week so MW has taken bloods to check for Obstetric Cholestasis as it’s driving me mad and waking me up at night, if I even get to sleep in he first place. Fingers crossed its not this and just a hormonal thing or something.
I’ve been referred to the consultant at 16 weeks due to 3 previous m/c, I’ve never been through a consultant before so not sure what to expect. Midwife has given me loads of stuff to read about being RH neg and a carrier of GBS so that should keep me quiet for a little while.
M/W wouldn’t check for heartbeat as she said it might disappoint me if she couldn’t find it so I feel a bit crappy about that as that was the reassurance I was needing right now, but guess I’m going to have to hold out for my scan
Well I've just done my exercise for the day...an hour on the wii!!! It's great...best thing my OH ever did was buy that! lol
It makes me feel less guilty when I'm having one of my lazy biatch days, at least that way i get some exercise even if it just in the lounge and making myself look like a complete idiot
I've been feeling dodgy the past couple of days, had an upset tummy but not sure how long to leave it before i see my doc...don't wanna make a fuss over nothing and it seems i'm constantly at the docs at the mo, I'm sure they know me by my first name now lol.
Was kinda hoping for a nice night in with my OH tonight but he went out on the lash last night for the first time since his bike accident and i think he's paying for it now and gone home to bed lol so it looks like its just me and the laptop again lol feel like i live on here somedays!
