Due June 2014

Hi Dbkiwi, congratulations! It's such an exciting time isn't it???

The week I found out I was pregnant I went in to our private OBGYN for bloodwork to confirm pregnancy and find out how high my hcg hormone levels were. At that time they scheduled me to come back at 7 weeks (which is this Thurs) to do an ultrasound so we can measure the baby and listen to it's heartbeat.

So I would definitely have your partner come along at the 8 week scan.
 
First scan at 6-8 weeks to find the heart beat is the first milestone. Then you have to wait until about week 12 before the next ultrasound. The time in between is like a jail term... =P

Is anyone showing? I gained a muffin front when I was taking fertility meds for IUI which I have since renamed as my pouch because I now have a little thing growing inside. So difficult for me to gauge.
 
We're due June 5th with our number 2 and super excited. Mostly feeling hungry ALL THE TIME. As for the user who talked about getting nausea from the prenatals, I started taking them at night before going to bed and that usually eliminates the nausea.

As for ultrasounds, my doctor does them at every apt, which is way better than how they do it in the states.

Question though-I am living in mainland and delivering at matilda, any suggestions on a good place to stay for a week or two leading up to the due date? I don't want to get stuck at the border while in labor
 
Hi girls!

Congrats to all of you! I am 13 weeks now & due on May 6th. A few of us girls that are due in May are meeting next Saturday for coffee. Would love for any of you girls to join us! Let me know if anyone is free/would like to meet up & I'll let you know the details :-)

Hope everyone is feeling well :-) this is such an exciting time for us all & will be so exciting sharing this amazing journey together.

Hi DBKiwi,

It went great! I'm officially 7 weeks today, due 20 June and we heard the heartbeat! It was amazing.

Thanks for asking!
 
June baby mama's, let's meet up!

Would any of you ladies be keen to meet up sometime? I'm assuming most of you live on the island, so meeting there would probably make the most sense. I actually live in Sai Kung, so if by chance any of you are out this way, let me know! Otherwise, a meet-up in Central?

My schedule is very flexible, so day, evening or weekend is fine by me.

Is anyone else keen for sometime next week? Let's make something happen!

Hi lotusflower,

Congrats on your 7 week scan! Isn't it amazing hearing the heartbeat?

Not sure if you saw my message but a few of us girls are meeting up next Saturday morning in Happy Valley if you are free & would like to join us?

Hi Sarah, I would love to meet you all, but I can't confirm at this point. I have family in town and not sure what their plans will be on Saturday. Can you send me details and I keep it tentative?

Thank you so much for the invite!
 
No worries at all, we are meeting at Classified in Happy Valley at 10am. I have no doubt us girls will all be meeting up regularly, a great way to keep in touch & chat with other mums-to-be!

No worries at all if you can't make next Saturday, we could make the next one if Central as that might be a bit more convenient for everyone :-)
