Due April 2014

[Kartaly]

Very sad to hear of what happened Lilfish. Can totally empathize - we lost ours in June at 6 weeks too, it was simply devastating. But I told myself this was nature's way and that the one we had was just not ready. And now, we are expecting again (I guess what they say about being more fertile after a miscarriage is true). We saw the doc yesterday, heard the heartbeat at seven weeks. But this time, we are going slow with the news, tempering our happiness with caution, and just not taking anything for granted now, at least till the first trimester is over.
So, don't lose heart. The little one will come when he or she is ready!

Hi Lilfish
I had a similar situation to you- 6 week old sack with no embryo. So I will need a curette to help my body realise it isn't actually pregnant.
It's hard but I'm hoping for a healthy pregnancy like karthaly next time.

Jcg, you will have a healthy pregnancy in the not-so-distant future, I'm sure. Take care of yourself during the procedure, and your body will be more than ready again next time round!

Hi! I am also due in April 2014. Excited and also a little scared! I'd love to find other expectant mums in HK to chat to about everything... I have lovely friends here but none of them are pregnant! Becky

Congrats Becky,
I know exactly how you feel. I have my 12 week scan on Monday and I'm so nervous.
When is your due date? I'm April 11th.

My wife is also due on April 11th and we will be doing her second scan on Monday as well! We are going through the public system at Queen E hospital. Yourself?

Hi Cat. My due date is 17th April so very close to yours. I have my 12 week scan on Thursday so I completely understand you feeling nervous. Good luck and please let me know how you get on on Monday. I'm sure that we'll both be fine. It takes a bit of getting used to, doesn't it?!

Hi everyone! I'm due April 25th and getting my 11 week scan on Thursday. I'm doing a mixture of public and private. I've registered for the free antenatal care at the maternity clinic in Wanchai but also seeing a private doctor for extra ultrasounds. Good luck with the rest of 1st trimester everyone!

Congratulations Cranlemon and Dasani!
I have used an obstetrician so far and he has recommended Matilda for delivery. We went and had a look round last week. Lucky that we have very good insurance coverage but still concerned about costs.
Becky - know what you mean about getting used to it. Although I had a scan at 6 + 4 and saw the heartbeat I still can't quite believe its real!
Excited about the scan tomorrow but will be so nervous!
Good luck with yours on Thurs x

HI ladies,
I am expecting my first one April 11th. Still feels a bit unreal but over the moon after 12week scan looked all ok.
Congrats to you all!
