6 weeks

So had a little freak out yesterday.. had a little spotting!!

Made a doctors appointment today, and the receptionist told me to go to the hospital if I got bad cramping and heavy bleeding, after I hung up I bawled my eyes out just at the thought of that happening.

So I went to the doctor at 2pm, and got told 20% of pregnant ladies experience some form of bleeding and it could possibly be fine.. he felt my belly, checked my pulse, told me I haven't lost it... which I knew I hadnt... but I still worry that something else is happening...

He also said I am a very anxious person and I should look into meditation. He told me everytime I come in to see him I seem really anxious and need to calm down a little as as the pregnancy continues along its gonna put more stress on my body.
I can't help but worry, its just who I am, plus it's always nerve wrecking visiting the doctors! especially after experiencing bleeding in early pregnancy.

Anyways its just a wait and see thing for now, he said that I probably could bleed again.. I got another blood test done to see what my hcg levels are... find out that result in a couple of days!

So many calls!

Wow, have I been through alot lately OR WHAT!!

So I called the number I was given for the OB, was told its the wrong number, so they give me another, that number doesnt exist.... so I called the main desk at the hospital asking for dr amelia hare and they forward me on to her number, she has a recorded message saying to call another number, I call that number, get a person, but only to be transferred onto a MESSAGE MACHINE!!!! AHHHH!! So I leave a message, hear NOTHING back for a week, call back telling them I havent heard from anyone, and that day they call back! FINALLY...So I was ---><--- close to getting an appointment made til she mentioned the midwifery service, and I said I was interested in that so she put me through to them which LO AND BEHOLD was ANOTHER answering machine, I leave my message... go to work, theyve called me back left a message apologizing for telephone ping pong. I leave a message 2 days later with my mob number and FINALLY a midwife calls! aaaaaand IM IN!! woohoo!! After ALL THAT!

So after I called my GP for blood test results (which are all good) I got an appointment made for and with a DR tinker, so I see her on Oct 12, she specialises in pregnant women and was only taking on new patients if they were pregnant....So when I see her I have to get copies of my blood test results, tell her I am doing the midwifery program, and get my scan referral for my 12 week ultrasound! After I have my 12 week ultrasound I book in to see my midwife!!

Sooooo much stuff to be done!! Can't wait til 12 weeks!!!!

Today I went to the Lismore Races, first time ever, wasnt too exciting... and wasnt asked or probed as to why I wasnt drinking so that was alright I guess :) Will be good when I can tell everyone so there isnt that fear of being asked why Im not drinking.

Anyways I guess thats enough rambling for now. More updates later.

xxoxx

2nd Doc's Appointment

So, I got my Blood Test Confirmed, it's official, I AM PREGNANT! Wooohooo!!

Went back today to see the doc, got a referral for an Ob/Gyno she's down at the base, so I am happy with that, atleast its somewhere where its all gonna happen in the end :)

Have to get more blood tests done. Was meant to get it done today, but the pathology person was gone... had to leave my urine sample there, and gonna go back tomorrow to get the blood test.

So I'll be calling the Dr at the Hospital tomorrow most likely, and try and get in to see her in a fortnight....although Dr Mario said I wont need to see her for a month, I'd like to get in early just incase!!

So it's all going along pretty slowly, just hope when I see the hosp doctor I can get more questions answered about the months to come!!

OH and we've already started looking at names!

If it's a boy we're thinking either Owen James or Noah James. If it's a girl Ruby Arabella, Arabella Ruby, Ruby Amara or Ruby Chelsea.

Not going to choose one until he/she is born! Want to see what they look like first :)

First Doc Appointment

Yesterday I had my first doc appointment!!!

Another new doctor yet again, unsure if he is one in training or not!
As soon as I told him I had 3 Positive Home Pregnancy tests he gave me a hi 5 and congratulated me lol

I did a urine test just to be sure, one came back okay, but the other was a bit slow, so I had to take a blood test just to make sure.. I find out the results for that tomorrow..

He also asked if there was a certain gyno I wanted to see but Ive never been so I said any... yet to know who I will be going to see....also asked whether I was going public or private..

I am to go back and see him again if the blood tests come back positive, which I am pretty sure they will be, I am just unsure of whats next, and when do I get all these scans people are talking about on the forums... he told me that there is no scan at 12 weeks??

Anyways me and kyle (yes I am saying his name as I dont think it matters anymore whether people know or not) went out for tea last night to celebrate, we went to hogs breath in Byron. It was so nice! And I got sooo full!! mmmm. Fondue for dessert was delicious! Was nice to sit there and talk about the next year and whats to come.

He's already decided on names mind you!!! He thought I was okay with them, but I am still open to change my mind. So if it's a girl he's adamant on Chelsea... and if it's a boy Owen because thats what he was almost called.

I think thats about it for now, hopefully I can get more answers next week!!!
