HI Ladies

Im new here
First time mommy to be, Im just over 8 weeks now and due 19 October according to calculator on last period. My first OBGYN appointment is this Friday with Dr Lynette Jansen so looking forward to that and hope she is good.

What can I expect at the first appointment?

Hi everyone

Mum2Be - Congrats that's wonderful news.

My appointment got changed around so I went for my scan yesterday. How amazing I saw my little one move and saying the little one was busy is an understatement. I couldn't help but cry.

My doc is also only doing the tests with my next appointment which now will be on the 8th April then I will be 16 weeks.

Everyone must have a great day.

Mum2Be + Fantastic news! Congratulations

momzee glad you are happy with your Dr, it makes the whole experience so much easier I'm sure.

Mum2Be - Congrats on the news!! Twins! Geez, I was so scared about the possibility of twins that my blood pressure was through the roof at my first appointment!!

It takes a special kind of person to raise twins and I am not one of those people!!

Thanx momzee, I am still a bit new and unsure about everything and the procedures etc.

Mum2be, twins congrates!!!! Wow, I am sure that was a pleasant surprise.

All the other ladies, hopefully the babies are treating you well and the m/s are settling

Only a pleasure momzee! I went to see her for the first time yesterday and I like her. She's straight to the point, no mess no fuss! I did my first scan yesterday also, I'm 8 weeks and expecting twins! I nearly fainted but I'm so excited. I would be bouncing off the walls if I could keep my eyes open!

Good morning ladies!

14 weeks today!

Kayla - I would not be too worried about bloods and scans not done yet. Most gynaes prefer to do it between weeks 16 and 18. I think mine just does it earlier to make decision making earlier and thus easier.

Gain-a-baby - Yes, I did find another gynae! I went with the whole Milnerton / Dr Christine van Heerden advice and luckily they could squeeze me in!! Thank you for the advice Mum2Be!

Next appointment is then 1 April and then I will be exactly 17 weeks and hopefully find out the gender!

Have a nice day everyone!
