First signs of pregnancy`

[Guest guest]

With all three pregnancies, I worry that at

the 12 week scan they are going to say " There is no baby there, only

Cadburys Dairy Milk! " .

Francesca (20 week scan next Wednesday!)

LOL Francesca, exactly what I've thought as well with my three!! That or

" go away Mrs Hutton, you just have a bad case of wind " !!

With DD1, the first sign was the consultant and two nurses drawing

back the curtains round my hospital bed to tell me that instead of

going for a laparoscopy to investigate my ovarian cyst, I would be

going home as I was 5 weeks pregnant!! I had no idea!

With DD2, we'd had unprotected sex when I thought I was safe but for

some reason I ovulated twice that month and so I fell pregnant. I was

only two days late when I put 2 + 2 together about the sore boobs and

metallic taste.

With no. 3 (EDD 21.3.02) (the only planned one!) I knew about two days

before I was late, again metallic taste and sore boobs.

Apart from that and some slight nausea and tiredness though I find it

quite hard to remember that I am pregnant until I really am quite big

and the baby is moving. With all three pregnancies, I worry that at

the 12 week scan they are going to say " There is no baby there, only

Cadburys Dairy Milk! " .

Francesca-snap!!

I was seeing a new Dr and registering at the practice. We went

through all the usual questions, medical history etc. I had gone

into long explanation over all my gynae problems etc and the fact I

could not have children, consultant even said that IVF would be a

waste of time. Anyway he was busily testing my urine (?glucose test)

whilst I explained this tiredness I was having and felt sick all the

time. I had just started a new job and put it all down to stress,

and over indulgence in the run up to Xmas! He said 'well I think

Miss that you are pregnant'. I started having a go at him

ranting that he hadn't listened to a word I'd said etc!!!! Turns out

he was right and all the others proved wrong! I was 11 weeks at that

time. Not possible to tell by my periods as they were so erratic.

Bit like a bus - nothing for ages (months) then several one after the

other!I had no idea what it felt like to be pregnant as I had never

thought about it. I was totally freaked - DH (who at the time

wasn't my DH!) and I had not been together that long (matter of

months) and I had given him the big 'we can't have kids' talk.

ANyway all turned out well.

With DD2 I was slightly more aware (ie 9 weeks pregnant when I

discovered!) I'd only had 1 period and that had been in the January,

in late August I noticed swollen boobs etc but I just thought that I

had another period due. When this feeling didn't go away, and I went

off wine I trotted off to the Dr's who confirmed my suspicions. 2

DD's with 19 months between.

LOL, I refused to look at my scan until the woman had told me that

there was definitely a baby there, I too was convinced they would say

it was wind!
