Hello everyone and CONGRATULATIONS on the BFP!
My due date has been estimated around 12 October but still to be confirmed.
This appears to be a very different pregnancy to my first one in that I am experiencing hot flushes / waves of nausea / headaches / migraines. All things I never had with my first 6 years ago ...
I went for a scan at a private clinic at 4 weeks from conception and all that could be seen was a gestational sac and the yolk sac --- I was a little disappointed but perhaps it was TOO soon.
Tomorrow is my first official appointment with the doc and will have my scan then - I will be 6 weeks and 4 days from conception.
I never know how to actually calculate my weeks.
Baby dust to each and every one of you and I hope that we can walk this exciting path together ... from all the different parts of the globe that we are from.
P.S. I am from South Africa.

No sadly all we could see what the gestational sac and the yolk sac ... no embryo or heart beat.
The sonographer said that I was 4 weeks past ovulation day and that it was probably too soon.
I was then so freaked out that I went for yet another HCG test just to check that my levels were rising...
Luckily they had risen from 8 300 to 67 000 ...
I am just stressing for tomorrow's scan...
Funny how 6 years later I am a total ball of nerves yet with my 1st pregnancy I didn't have a worry in the world... AGE !!! ha-ha

Zue Zue - are you planning for the home birth now?
In South Africa you hardly hear of that anymore ...
This side they are very pro c-sec and I had one with my 1st so I am sure they will insist on another one for my 2nd.
To give you an idea when I had my son in 2009 there were 40 ladies in the maternity wards and out of the 40 - 38 were c -sec while 2 were natural.

Wow.. that is shocking to know..
Im originally from Malaysia where everybody gives birth either in clinics or hospitals but in the Netherlands home birth is highly encouraged.. Not many people give birth in the hospitals.
My third baby was borned at a clinic in Accra and there was no doctor around since she was too late. Only a few midwives that has no idea what to do.. panicking.. God's will everything goes well..
So i think home birth may be a good idea as well.. New adventure.. I have no idea how would it be..

Are you residing in the Netherlands?
I am obtaining my Dutch Citizenship next month from the Embassy and I am so very excited!
I will hold dual citizenship with South Africa and the Netherlands.
I am sure everything will go well and I pray you will have a wonderful experience at the home birth - should be a very relaxed and comforting environment... xxx
