congratulations to you both!!
rubysmummy - what age gap will you have between the bambinos? i wanted mine close together, mostly cos there is a big gap between me and my bro (8 years) and i didnt want that for mine. i ended up with 13 months . my son oliver, my first baby, was 4 months old when i fell pg again and now he has a little sister called emilie who is 6 months old.
sam - what happens at your first appointment depends very much on where you live as far as i can make out. my doctors wouldnt even entertain seeing me 'just because' i was pregnant! i was booked in to see the m/w at 8 weeks and she took bloods, went thro family medical history etc etc. it does vary from one area to another though and also on your medical history, ie, if you have had any past mc's etc. altho even that, where i live, makes no difference. a friend of mine had a baby, then 2 mc's, then another, then another 2 mc's and when she fell pg again, the docs wouldnt get her a scan because she hadnt had 3 mc's in a row! which i think is pretty dreadful really. but like i say, it just depends. i have seen ladies on here who have been sent for scans to put their mind at rest etc, so fingers crossed you live in an area where they are nice!
good luck with both your pregnancies - im a lurker from the baby and toddler board, i like to pop over and see how you are all doing.
here is to a happy and healthy 9 months for both of you.
love kelly, oliver 20 months tomorrow and emilie, 28 weeks tomorrow! xxx
