Hi honey! It says you are pregnant so YIPEE!!!!!! Don't just take Folic Acid, take prenatal vitamins - they have mixtures of different vitamins and minerals - Folic Acid is more as is Biotin! So take those OK? You don't need to do anything other than to keep away from toxic substances - especiall bleack, ammonia, cigarrettes, glue etc etc etc! It is proven that IF you are around toxic chemicals and dangerous substances while the baby is in early development, it can cause MAJOR problems and sometimes miscrriage! Why did you mention week 12? For the 1st trimester I suppose! Actually more problems arise in women AFTER 20 weeks! So that is sort of a myth, you just need to relax and let mother nature take over! And be as healthy as possible! CONGRATULATIONS honey! This is going to be a LONG 38 weeks!!!! ;-) XD XD

Just like me Ibook i had a bleed on the 18th of march but i have had a very long journey and i am wanting to hold on to this pregnancy as long as i can going for scan on thursday to determine the age so my midwife can give me the best care she can and i tell you what i quite like my Midwife she looked after me through my last pregnancy ...
Oh i have only just noticed that my skin is so nice and soft .. but for my hair :$ ARGH i think this baby is pulling every thing out of it i only washed it a day and a half ago and i need to wash it again i wash my hair every 2 days or i end up stripping it and it falls out ... welll it is falling out like i am going to be bald soon i think that is all part and parcel of pregnancy
I must say beside the burning boobs and my skin being soft and my hair falling out i have got no other signs of being or felling pregnant... i really hope they got every thing out cause i look like i am coming up to my 12 week of pregnancy i mean my belly is so swollen it not funny that i don't think i can hide this pregnancy from the rest of the family well that is going by photos i have seen of pregnant bellys at 11 weeks .. i want to put a photo up to compare :-D
Any who i best go and rest cause i am getting tired ..... i am taking the prescribed medication that my midwife gave me ... i have stopped peeing like a waterfall and i have not got any nausea but i have gone of coffee and drinking Milo ... i crave more sweet things except last night i woke up and wanted instant pasta XD
Talking waking up i have been waking about 4-5 am in the morning to say good morning to my partner then i will go to the loo and go back to sleep
ok i think i have typed my fingerprints off so i will go and rest my fingers now as well XD

I too am really tired...Last night I went to sleep at 9.30 because I was so tired but I must of woken up about 5 times throughout the nght. I ended up getting up late for work :p
Apart from the tiredness and the odd cramp in my stomach I have no other signs. Do your stomach muscles pull when u sneeze or cough? Mine do, is this normal?!
So hunnie me and you are excately the same - I am due 23 dec 2010. Not due to see the midwife till 11 May so not sure when my first scan will be, doctor said it's normally done at about 10-12 weeks.

Hi I book! This is true, there is not reason to do it earlier - actually doctors are starting to say only 1 ultrasound! If you are slim you will have that stretching feeling and like I told Becky if you massage light oils into your stomach - gently - then this helps with the tone of your skin and being able to make it more supple! WAIT till you are FAR along and sneeze That's just the WEIRDEST experience - you think you are going to pop the baby out!!! ;-) XD Or when they go up and down and move and you think it feels like their foot is coming through your yahoo!!!!! o.O The one thing I REALLY missed was watchng my belly move and when my son would roll over - a little like the movie Alien - but NEAT and that feeling of being so WOMANLY ! It's such a wonderful feeling - and I wish that for ALL of you! take time to enjoy it not worry about it! If you worry you will miss out!!

Hey bambi thanks for the info....do you think it's strange that im not seeing the midwife till 8 weeks in? Should i be seeing her earlier?
Also i'm having very strange bowel movements....yesterday i had diarrhea and today it's a very strange colour (green :$ ) is this normal?
Sorry for asking so many questions....there is so much to ask!
Thanks

Oh ask away honey - Becky can attest to that!!! - bowel changes are part of the norm at the beginning! Also if you have started the prenatal then they will change your poop!
The midwife I think is just fine, they will follow you more closely after the initial, I think they want to make sure everything is going well! Because they need to listen for a heart beat etc. Just eat healthy, small and often, and take your vitamins, don't be around toxic chemicals etc. And you will be fine! IF you had any worries that I can't answer - listen to me sounding like some sort of guru!!! LOL - then just phone her and ask to see her sooner that's all!

I didn't have enough time to look back Hunnie! BUT I think you are confused at the time line of you being pregnant, I think it is less than you said - you said 12 weeks, that wouldn't be right, then 5 - 6 weeks I think this is less - because when you have a miscarriage you period is not like a regular starting point - thus them telling you to wait! So I think you are about 3 - 4 weeks and thus your HCG being lower! In another week take one of the high end tests to see how far along you are - they judge it by the amount of HCG in your urine!
How are the rest of my girls doing?!

Hi all....
Yeah I am doing fine, nothing much to report really....apart from tiredness and headaches in the morning no more signs. Spoke to my mum today and asked her about her signs when she was pregnant and she said she suffered from nothing. No vomitting or tiredness, lucky her. Fingers crossed I get the same as her....
I though Hunnie was on the same timeframes as me....I remember her saying her last period was 18 march like mine...period was due today and haven't had anything and it's a 35 day cycle. I'm normally 28 days.....
So bambi how many kids do you have? Are u trying to concieve now? Sorry for being noisy

Honey!!! I know about your cycles your mucus, your breasts etc etc etc ;-) XD XD XD o.O I think you asking me how many kids I have we should be even now!!!! ;-) ;-) XD XD XD
I have 2 boys 17 and 14 and had a hysterctomy 9 years ago :'( I wanted 7 children! And severe painful periods caused me to be put on MANY pain pills, then it would make me bend over in pain! So finally I couldn't stand - litterally - and my gynecologist said to me "Either get pregnant for 1 last time or we need to give you a hysterectomy" My mother was dying at the time and she begged me not to have another baby - as she couldn't stand not seeing the baby!!! So we had tried several times - before when mom got sick - and nothing (stress) so we decided to have a hysterectomy I cried ALL the way into the operating theatre! As this was it! BUT my 2nd child was born disabled, and the doctors at the hospital said it was 50/50 that I would have another baby with problems! I looked at my son and ALL the pain he had gone through and the countless operations and I thought "How could I tell another child (IF they ended up disabled) that I took the chance because I wanted another baby"?!!! It was a hard decision but I only have the occaisional pains right now, so it was worth it!
