Due March 2015

Tisha I am laughing now! You remind me of me before my first......believe me pregnancy and birth removes any prudishness. Especially in the Gynae/hospital environment. I'm not taking my hubby to this first one, the man's been through enough already (he's the ultimate prude!)

I'm in JHB, Sunninghill hospital - although Genesis clinic is on my radar, will wait and see how the pregnancy goes first.

My boy is fine - arm in a sling for 4 weeks though. 2 of them being the holidays!

Congrats 2Boys!!!

I'm actually feeling ok. I've been pretty tired lately, yawning from 14:00 every afternoon!! I'm bloated and gassy... but so far no nausea!!

Og...now tell me... the last gynae i went to had me dressed in this tiny lil gown (was for a check up and pap smear).. If my husband is there... will they at least cover up? Because it would so weird if he had to witness that? Like in the movies they normally cover it up a bit =P Or am i just being a prude.

Shame, how is your little boy doing? Where are you from and which hospital are you going to?

I hope you feel better soon!!

Hi all - congrats tisha, you must be almost the same as me now: 6.5 weeks or so. Also eagerly awaiting my 1st appointment on 11 August.

This is my 3rd pregnancy (plus two m/c's) so I've had a variety of 1st appointments! It really varies depending on the doc. In my experience they take your history (if a new patient), do general checks such as blood pressure and urine, and a scan - although apparently not all scan before 12 weeks (be warned - early scans are done via the v-j. Bit of a shock if expecting the sonar on your belly )

I am feeling awful! Amazing how I could forget feeling this bad!! So dead tired and my stomach is all over the place - cramps, gas, nausea. Miserable! And as luck would have it my 6 yr old broke his collar bone on Sunday (poor boy) and I have a major work deadline this week.

Oh well that's how it goes. Are any of you managing to exercise? I was running pre-pregnancy but now it makes me feel awful. Even walking the dog sets off fatigue and nausea

All the best, lets hope these next few weeks fly by.....

Alooo!!

According to bloodtests taken yesterday i'm about 6 weeks now. We've got our first gynae appointment on the 19th of August. Looking forward to it but also kinda nervous about it!

What can i expect from the first appointment?

How is everybody feeling? Has everybody had their first scans?

I hope nobody's morning sickness is as bad as mine. It was terrible with my first pregnancy too. And the Dr put me on cyclogest which I'm sure makes it worse. Nauseous from morning to night.

Look after yourselves ladies. Make sure you have your pregnancy vits and folic acid.
