Anyone else sick of waiting until 12 weeks?

[Katieflutterby]

Hi gals,

I am now just over 6 weeks, and i have hit a down patch i think. I am getting really sick of waiting, the last 2 weeks have gone so slowly, and i just want 12 weeks to come so i can tell people, and finally have a scan!!

This is my first bub, so i dont have other bubs to keep me occupied, and i just find myself sitting here getting so frustrated because my first appointment isnt until the end of November (with Ob) and my scan in December.

Maybe its just hormones, but i just feel so down today. Time seems to be going so slowly... I just want to see my beautiful bub on a screen! i want to see everything is going ok!

Anyone else feel this way? I am an impatient person, i admit it, but anyone have ideas on how i can stop myself from going mad before 12 weeks?

Yes i hate waiting too!! haha
I do have a DS who occupies my time however im still impatient..
Im having a date scan aswell as a 12week scan why dont you?? I did with DS I was 5weeks & 4days when they saw the heartbeat flashing.. awww Im going next week & Im about 9 weeks pregnant, but can't wait for 12weeks.. haha
I agree i have told everyone I told everyone first time round aswell.
Theres no reason that bubs is not doing well, everything will be hunky dory:thumbsup:

yip. the first trimester crawls!

Especially if you found out really early on.

But we've told our close family and friends so i have plenty of people to talk to about it.

If you like katie, you can pretend that i dont know and then tell me! I'll get extra excited for you :D

i told immediate family and best friends but that was it for ds 1 (amazing how word spreads though). this time i'm just telling...i figure if something happens then at least theres lots of people around to support me!!!

I agree!! thats what we thought.:thumbsup: Any way I can't keep a secret like this it would kill me:laughing:

Yes, time really does crawl!!! :gloomy:

I went to the doctors yesterday for my first appt as he wanted me in early and he told me I am apparently 5 1/2 weeks (I thought I was only just 5...I swear he is wrong!) and he said to have a scan at 7 weeks at Hunter Radiology which will cost $103.00 with $75.00 rebate. I also got my blood taken today. 6 bloody viles later! So much blood. I hate needles and blood. Not looking forward to labour thats for sure!!! I'll be in for a rude shock!

My doctor also told me to go have a NT scan and Morphology scan at John Hunter Hospital in medical suite which will cost $160.00 each, not sure about how much rebate on those or the weeks I am to go. I have to go back to doctor at 10 weeks.

So at least I know "the plan" for the next 5 weeks. But it does go so slow. I cant wait to get my blood test back so they can tell me the HCG result. I just want to know its higher so I know everything is ok!! :)

I'm sick of waiting too.... i'm 6 weeks and 1 day today and i can just tell the next 6 weeks are going to be sooooo slow..... :rolleyes:

I'm going to the docs tonights.... go find out all the results (i only got my :bfp: on the phone last week).

I've already told close family, work & close friends (3 best friends)....

Hahaa!! Hey Milk_Monkey, guess what, im pregnant!!! Yaaaay! :laughing:

Thanks guys, i was having a bad night last night. Very moody and ended up picking a fight with DH for no good reason. Dam these hormones!

I have told my family and a few friends, but i still dont really talk to anyone much about it... I told my dad, and he was excited but he is a man, he is just like "Ok well tell me at 12 weeks when its all ok". And we told DHs parents who were very very excited but then launched into the "Where are you having it? How much is it going to cost? OH MY GOD THAT MUCH???? You cant do that, why dont you go public, public is better anyway, what about names, no i dont like that name! what about this name...." etc etc. My MIL also told her mum, and i am dissapointed because i told her not to tell anyone.

I guess my problem really is that i am dying to talk to my mother about it, but its impossible because she died almost 5 years ago :crying: She had breast cancer, she was quite young too (45).

I want to share this time with her so much, and it hurts so bad that she isnt here for it. I keep trying to get the same fulfillment from other people, and it just isnt working, its just not the same...

Im sorry guys to be so depressing, ill be fine in a few days, i have just hit a down patch. Thank you all for listening and for your kind words. I am looking forward to seeing all your scan pics!!! :thumbsup:
