Aww good luck hunni! First antenatal is usually a Long one, they take bloods and weight, blood pressure! Listen to babs heart beat! As for dtd and some pains they say that after sex some times you can get contraction like pains! Nothing to worry about I don't think!

[lovemylilbean]

Hi I had my first anti-natal a few weeks ago and I was told in Limerick Maternity they dont do heartbeat only scan. I have to get that done by Gp and I went last week but she couldnt pick it up yet its suppose to be hard to locate baby when they are so small still. I was dissapointed but Ill go again during the week and hopefully hear it next week. It might be different in the clinic you are going to but just incase I said ill let you know as when you have your heart waiting for something it can be hard.

[babyL]

Every appointment I've been to they've listened to heartbeat and never scan! Suppose all hospitals are different!

i got a few cramps after dtd too pet! it says in all the books n all that the cramps are perfectly normal, ur uterus contracts after an orgasm so its all to be expected! d cramps still made me feel a little uncomfortable tho even tho i knew they were normal!
ive my first ante-natal appt next week too.and the big scan. cant wait now. was with my GP at 14 weeks and then again on friday when i was 17+2, he found the heartbeat both times but it took AGES so dont panic if u cant hear it! the nurse in the early pregnancy unit told me that it would be unlikely to hear it at 14 weeks n that i wasnt to panic.

@wannabemummy id be a bigger girl too so im nervous bout what they say, i had lost 4.5 stone bout 2 years ago but put on a stone n a before got pregnant n have put on about 9 pounds since i got pregnant. my own doc had been thru all my weight loss battle with me so he told me that on ur white card thingy they look more at the weight differences between each visit rather than ur total weight if u get me?

[babyL]

Girls don't worry too much about having some weight on yous when pregnant I've weight on me and none of them have said anything! They did test me for pregnancy diabetes cause its more common in over weight ladies! I got weighed on my 1st appointment and they haven't weighed me since!

[babymakes3]

Same thing here babyL. I was weighed aat the very start and then they didnt weigh me for months, altho when they did they decided I wasnt gaining enough weight so seems like ya just cant win with them!

[lovemylilbean]

thanks girls!@exciteddotcom, im limerick maternity too, ah blast was hoping so hear it i know they'll do the big scan, i could have sworn that some1 in the epu said before that they ony hear it in the clinic?which doc r you under?got dr.slevin, hes sposed to be great at meeting patients, i know a few girls who have gotten him n hes also sposed to be really nice was grand today cramps had got but then silly me decided to chance our bedsheets n must have pulled something near my pelvic/groin area had aburning on off pain lasting seconds every min r two for ages today but tis gone now rang mw just to be safe n she said i prob just pulled/arrivated something as the pain wasnt on my belly or bleeding tis done now n have the usual heartburn lol!convinced the baby is gonna be a gollywog any1 else suffering from it too?

[pebbles]

oooh the heartburn is killing me! i have it at every day at least once, its worse in eve and if i lie back on sofa!!! gonna try some fizzy water tomor, my mother said its brilliant. got gaviscon tablets but the texture is RANK!!

started to get a little bit of achiness in back area, plus definitely some stretching in the ol pelvic area! feels just dull and achy, id imagine this is normal~?
seems if ur not bleeding, in pain then anything else goes!!!

heres a funny question? do any of u get kinda achey tummy when u need to do a poo? (sorry tmi ) im not constipated but it seems like my bowel might be pressing against a muscle or ligament or something! anyone else have anything like this or just me being a freak? my doc would also just tell me this is normal so gonna wait n ask midwife at my 1st antenatal appt next week!
