Thanks! You must be into your final trimester now you lucky thing! It flys in from there!

Almost! I'm 25+5. Can't wait to just get the third trimester over with and have a baby in my arms

Hi everyone, congrats to you all on your new adventures! I got a positive last weds and am due 22nd June!
Sorry for your loss Anndub, I miscarried last Dec so feel similar, I thought I wouldnt be able to enjoy another pregnancy but so far I've been feeling optimistic. We held off for a few months as we got married in April but thankfully it didn't take too long to conceive again. I'm so happy to be back on this journey again!

Ah more joiners at last congrats ladies! Sorry to hear about the miscarriages, fingers crossed for all of us this time. Has anyone booked into their hospital yet?

Thanks Brian patch! I sent my form off to the Coombe on Friday, my doctor asked for an early scan so hopefully I'll hear soon

Hi everyone, I'm due my first on June 11th so thought I'd join in...

Congratulations to everyone on their exciting news!!!!

anndub I also miscarried in July so it's all a bit surreal this time around. If I make it through this week (week 6) it will be longer than last time so it feels like my personal milestone. I'm hoping I let myself get properly excited after that.

Hi ladies,
I'm pregnant with second one and need to finally go to a doctor to confirm same. Does anyone know gp that would have an ultrasound available? They had it in Customhouse Medical but rand them today and they said they do not do scan anymore...
Anyone would recommend a decent gp in city centre or around Dublin 5, ideally with ultrasound?
Congratulations to all of you!!!!

Hi Tincha, congrats to you too. I don't know of any GP with an ultrasound but I like to use the Wellwoman clinic on liffey St when I need a city centre doc. It's a very calm office which I appreciate and the nurse in particular there was very kind the last time I was in.

Hi girls, not sure if my sanity will let me post here but I'll try. We just found out a week ago that we're pregnant- due on June 22nd.

This will be my second baby, but my first son Max was stilllborn at 41+4 in Jan 2015. We've been trying to concieve his brother or sister ever since and we're had a variety of fertility treatments and investigations. We recently decided to try IVF and have been incredibly lucky that it's worked first time.

I'm beyond terrified but also so glad to here and feeling hopeful. I'll be very closely monitored and induced at 37/38 weeks so more likely a late May/ early June baby.

Welcome to all the newcomers!

My m/s upped a gear at the weekend, even Cariban isn't working now. My GP wants me back in to the hospital for fluids. Decided to wait until morning, see can i sip myself back to semi-hydration tonight. I think work are starting to get slightly irked but so far I'm too unwell to care!

Hi T1986,

Glad to hear you're not too sick. I went in yesterday, the usual fluids and stemitil injection. My dose of Cariban was increased to the max too so feeling a million times better today. Got to see the babies heartbeat which was wonderful. I'm measuring 8w2d which is bang on what I calculated.

Had a private scan booked for a few days time. I think we'll still go ahead with it as my husband wasn't with me yesterday and he'd like to see a bit more.

Hope everyone else is doing well

Had my early scan last night. Measured 7 weeks 2 days which is just 2 days less than I had calculated. It's nice to have a more certain due date now of June 13th (well as certain as a due date can be....) Heard a strong heartbeat of 149 so feeling a lot happier and more comfortable now.

I'm also exhausted ladies, I'm sleeping about 9-10 hours a night and still yawning my way through the days. I guess it's not being helped by the lack of coffee, I was going to stick to the 200mg a day rule but I haven't been able to stomach it which can only be a good thing for baba.

I've spend my days in the office nibbling on crackers and drinking ginger tea, I'm sure I'm a dead giveaway to anyone who's been through this before!

Went for my early scan on Wednesday, was so relieved to see something baby-shaped pop into view almost straight away! Since I had nothing but one positive home pregnancy test and very few symptoms until the last week or two, I had almost convinced myself that it was a mistake and that there'd be nothing there. Dates were nearly spot on and it was amazing to hear the little heartbeat.

Is anyone taking iodine supplements? One of my pregnancy apps sent me a scary email about the effects of inadequate iodine and I got an awful fright as I haven't been taking any. My GP never mentioned it and nor did the early pregnancy class I went to at Holles St. My GP had advised me not to take a pregnancy multivitamin as they contain iron and I get regular iron infusions due to past anaemia. So I've been taking nothing but folic acid. But when I read the email I immediately went out and bought a pregnancy multivitamin with lots of iodine. The amount of iron isn't huge so I hope it won't matter too much. Am going to ring the GP next week to see what she thinks.

It seems like every day there's something new to worry about - that's how it'll be for the next 20 years I suppose!

I've even struggled to take folic acid for the last few weeks and I had to stop multivitamins a few days after my positive test. I was feeling very guilty about that but any doctor I've spoken to wasn't in any way concerned. One mentioned that most of the ground work is done long before you get pregnant due do most nutrients needed for the first few weeks being present in the yolk sac at after conception.

I think the pregnancy apps are great for monitoring changes week to week but I'd probably take their medical advice with a pinch of salt. So I really wouldn't worry azabujiban. If you think about it, most of us were born to mothers who knew nothing about folic acid, iodine or pregnancy multivitamins and we're all fine!

So I'm going public with the domino scheme holles street. I know there's no scan at the first app but does anyone know if they listen to the heartbeat or do anything to make sure there's still a baby growing in there?

I know I sound totally paranoid but if not I'll prob book another private scan for the 12 week mark so we can tell friends etc with a bit more ease.

Well I'm definitely joining the June club! Went to get confirmed and the docs test was very faint and traces of blood in urine. Referred me to early pregnancy unit for scan with threatened early miscarriage! Now I had NO bleeding or spotting but just a tiny amount showed on the dipstick thing they use.
If it was my first I would have been terrified but I knew all was ok. Scan showed sac and fetal pole, all as it should be. Very early days and back in two weeks to follow up.

It's amazing how feelings can change! Delighted now, will worry where to put the new bubs when the time comes!!

So delighted to hear your scan went ok! The doc said there was blood in my urine aswell, but didn't send me for scan. Just gave me a letter for a&e just in case. A little bit worried now!

How far along are you orangetaster85? If you're worried I'd probably just pick what's likely to be a quiet time and go to a&e and get your scan. The worry don't do you any good.

We can't give medical advice here but there are other things that can cause blood in urine, maybe up your fluid intake too.

I'm only 6 weeks. I don't think I'll go for a scan because there not much they can do really. I've no bleeding or anything. My doctor just gave me a letter for a&e "just in case" so I'm not gonna start of my pregnancy worry about things that can't be helped. I'm just glad there's a good outcome to your story !
