Yay can't wait to share this journey with all who get to join us here.

I'm due September 17th based on lpm but all my babies have been early so anytime August onwards is my guess for arrival and praying for:DD:

[tarasue]

Hi babyxx congratulations!
When do you get your blood results back?
I've just got home from having mine done. Will get results tomorrow.

[keepthefaith]

HI girls!
I'm so happy that I can join! I got a BFP this morning and reckon I am due around September 23rd or thereabouts, not exactly sure yet! Congrats to everyone and looking forward to sharing this journey with you! Hoping we all get our pink bundles!

[kitkat18]

Wow!! A new due date thread congrats ladies X

[keepthefaith]

So has anyone got any symptoms yet? I've been a bit Crampy and really tired but nothing major so far!

[Ugee]

Congratulations on the new BFP's :)

[MissyMc7]

No symptoms so far here apart from oily skin, but usually don't have any symptoms until around 6 weeks when I'll wake up feeling like I've been hit by a truck so enjoying feeling good while I can!

Got my 17dpo blood test results back hcg was 284 (no wonder the frer was instantly positive 9 hours before these bloods!) And progesterone was 90 which in Australian values is the upper end of normal. My ob said several times that the level was excellent but I'm still shocked because every pregnancy so far my progesterone has been low and I've required supplements to keep the pregnancies going. Shocked that on pregnancy #8 my body may have finally done it right on its own!

Babyxx have you got your blood results back yet?

Have my first ob appointment booked for Feb 16.

[Dutchgirl]

Hi girls!

All congratolations on your BFP!

I found out this afternoon that i have BFP.
I'm due 24 september!

My boobs are killing me, have to pee all day and than really have to run to arive in time to the toilet LOL. Nausea and fatique too.

Still can't believe it! Hope we got our pink bundlles!

[XXforhubby]

How are you ladies feeling? Besides Keepthefaith, is anyone else going to find out early? Who is going to stay team yellow?

[MissyMc7]

I don't know whether to find out or not. We weren't going to with dd but thought we saw the 3 lines at the morphology scan so caved and found out at a 4d scan at 27 weeks. Then found out at 15 weeks with both the boys because they were to eager to show off their tackle lol. This time I don't know, in a way knowing ASAP will be easier than my daughter getting her hopes up for a sister for months only to be let down but in another way if it is a girl I can only imagine how excited she will be to have that anticipation confirmed at delivery. So far I'm thinking hubby and I might find out in secret, if it's a boy we'll confess to avoid raised hopes but if it is a girl we'll keep it to ourselves until delivery.
still have awhile to decide as we're not even announcing the pregnancy until easter at 16.5 weeks.

[Dutchgirl]

I wanna do an early scan at 14 weeks to find out. I'm too curieus, i have to know what it is.

[mommymachine]

I think I might have got a positive pregnancy test this morning. I guess 0-7 really is possible! I think it is more likely than 0+4. Those are the only two options. I will take another test tomorrow to make sure, but the one this morning was there for sure. I would be due September 29th.

Could you send me some of your super fertile, baby dust? At this point, I'll take blue or pink! Although DH would prefer pink 😘!

I am so happy for you! I hope it sticks 😊!!

I feel so bad though. Not about another baby. We wanted a 6th one and timing doesn't really matter. It is just that I feel bad about people who have been trying so long. My SIL has been trying for almost a year for her 3rd. How am I suppose to tell her? Sorry, I just need a bit of advice. I am happy. Really I am. I am just worried about her a lot.

[tarasue]

I went through that in November. I got pregnant with #3 and was dreading telling my sister, they have been ttc #2 for over a year. I ended up loosing the baby in December and two weeks later she had a positive pregnancy test and then she was dreading telling me. Tables got turned on me:/. Not going to lie, it's pretty bittersweet. I'm over the moon happy for them but feel cheated that the baby I lost never had anyone but me to get excited about it, if that makes since.

I find I can only text baby talk with my sister now, on the phone or in person is just to difficult still. So just try to not be over the top excited around your sil. Hopefully her time comes and you two can be belly buddies:)

Wow, that's awesome! Maybe you O'd early or late? Were you temping or just using opks?

I was temping. I am going by when Fertility Friend says I O'd. We DTD on CD 7 and CD 18. There was absolutely nothing between those two days. FF says I o'd CD 14.

[XXforhubby]

I bet you Oed earlier than what FF picked up! That is awesome! Send some of your baby dust my way- I could use some 😉

Congrats! My o-7 daughter is nearly 9yo, so definitely possible! And my cycle was being followed by fertility specialists so o was confirmed 7days after we dtd.

[MissyMc7]

Been a nervous few days for me. After my first lot of bloods coming back awesome my second lot was not so great. Hcg was fine that had more than doubled in 47hours but my progesterone had dropped. It was still at quite a high level but we weren't sure if we'd just caught it at the bottom of its natural peak/trough cycle or if my body wasn't maintaining the levels needed and I'd need to start supplements again. Had bloods done again yesterday morning and my Dr's midwife called today to tell me the results were excellent! Even higher than the first one so it was just the natural pattern we saw, yay!! So nothing else for me until my booking in appointment on Feb 16. Feels so strange not needing more bloods and meds and early scans when I've needed them with all the others. Although I just keep telling myself that this is what my first pregnancy was like and all the extra stuff was just precautions after all the miscarriages whereas the boys we would have lost without all the extras so hopefully this one ends just like my first with a healthy full term baby girl!!

[mommymachine]

Congrats! My o-7 daughter is nearly 9yo, so definitely possible! And my cycle was being followed by fertility specialists so o was confirmed 7days after we dtd.

So glad you shared this with me. I have been feeling like such a freak show! The internet says I had a 2% chance of conceiving. I don't know if it will stick though. The test seems a bit lighter today. Time will tell.

[mommymachine]

So I want to go team green but I have never done it before and I am wondering how hard it is. Has anyone in here gone team green before?

[Dutchgirl]

Congrats Mommymachine!

I never stayed team green. I can't wait so long to finf out LOL. But i like the idea though to not know it. If this whole girl-thing wasn't such an issue for me than i would like to stay team green.

I'm so moody all day, it's just horrible! Can't stand annybody to ask me a thousand things like my boys are really good at. So i took my dog and went for a walk to calm down.

[mommymachine]

I jumped in here too soon I think.. Negative tests now and spotting for the last two days. If AF arrives (as I am sure it will) then I wish you ladies a healthy happy 9 months!

[keepthefaith]

Just took the plunge and posted my sway attempt, eek seems more official now! Hope haven't jinxed myself ...................

[tarasue]

Oh no mommymachine! What brand of tests have you been using? Are they the same tests you got the positives with?

I'm sure your fine posing your sway keep the faith. I never posted my sway from October and ended up loosing the baby, maybe I should have posted it:/

[Dutchgirl]

So sorry mommymachine....

I'm gonna look at your sway Keepthefaith!
I will post it too after my ultrasound.

[keepthefaith]

Good luck Dutchgirl, Ive decided not to go for a scan until I get the Harmony test at 10 weeks. I am too nervous to go before that! Really hoping haven't jinxed myself posting my sway!

[Rosie85]

Looks pretty quiet in here. I am joining in. Got my bfp a week ago and the tests are nice and dark today. Thinking my due date is october 5th.

I have never been so anxious in my life. Every twinge or ache drives me crazy. I am sooooo scared of losing this pregnancy like the last three i had.

I had zero sway..totally prepared for boy. Symptom wise I am starting to feel sicker and my boobs hurt and i am very tired. Pretty typical stuff. Hope to be joined by more ladies soon!!

[MissyMc7]

Hi Rosie, congrats on your bfp!!

How is everyone??

Have had another nervous week here, had bloods on wednesday last week which showed my progesterone levels were down so had to start pessaries again, another blood test friday which showed that my progesterone was holding steady. First pessary was only about 8 hours before Friday's test and level was well in safe range so the pessaries may not really have been necessary but my dr is very cautious and given my history it does give me peace of mind.

Then on Sunday hubby and I DTD for the first time since the bfp and wouldnt you know it I've been spotting ever since. Its 95% brown with only the occasional tiny pinky/red steak but of course I started preparing myself for the worst.

Monday/Tuesday were horrible stressful waiting days although my m/s started to really kick in so was telling myself that was a good sign.

But yesterday I had another blood test to check on my progesterone and then my first scan!! There was my little blob, heart flickering away at 120bpm, measuring 0.69cm long (6+3wks 2 days behind lmp dates) happy and healthy as far as you can tell at this point :bigsmile: was measuring 2 days behind my lmp dates but I know that doesnt mean much at this point because the measurement is so tiny a day or two either side is normal. Felt the biggest sense of relief ever! And the sonographer couldnt find any cause for the spotting so looks like its harmless.

I noticed she was holding the probe slightly left of midline and angled slightly towards left as well. Ever since about 10dpo Ive had twinges in a very distinct spot high just left of centre so I asked her if thats where the baby was implanted and explained about the twinges (but secretly hoping it was there and there is something to ramzi's theory!) Her response was "Hmm not reaallly, I'm preettty much scanning on the midline" she suggested the twinges were probably caused by the side I ovulated on but when she checked my ovaries she said she couldnt see anything on either of them to indicate the side of ovulation (although I felt it was my left at the time). At the end she concluded that she hadnt seen anything else that she thought would cause twinges so prehaps it is bub. So fingers crossed now there is something to ramzi's theory as I definatley feel twinges just left of midline and scan showed the yolk sac very clearly on left of baby in sac (sonographer pointed that out). Either way I came out of the scan beaming with relief that I definatley am :pregnant:, there is just one and it is right where its supposed to be at the top of the uterus, preeettty much midline but also suddenly a very strong sense that this is my :babyf:

So now just awaiting a call from my dr to let me know yesterdays blood result and then wait 2.5 weeks until my booking in appointment when I get to see my bub again.

[QueenB3blue]

I get to join:) October 7th is my due date. But I was induced for my last 2 at 39 weeks because of size;) ds3 was 10 lbs 5 oz even a week early!
Hoping this baby is healthy and I can relax and enjoy.

Missy-that is so exciting you got to see baby's heartbeat! I hope your bleeding goes away so you can be worry free

Rosie- when will you see the dr?

[Rosie85]

Missy...hard to have worries...hope you can relax soon!!

Queen...i haven't even called yet to make an appointment. I feel nervous about it. I got my positive hpt so soon that it hadnt crossed my mind to call yet. I am wondering if they will scan me a few times since I have had three losses including a missed miscarriage. I am terrified of it happening again.

[QueenB3blue]

Rosie, I don't plan to call for awhile. I figure they can't do anything to stop a mc(unless it is a progesterone issue, right). I guess they would maybe give me an early ultrasound. But to be quite frank I am still paying on the 4 ultrasounds I had to have with my loss! I would rather wait. FX we all have healthy sticky baby's:-D and this is nothing but a conversation to have.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

Nothing wrong with waiting! I am just wondering if I am not supposed to since I had 3 losses. I just don't want to jinx it ya know? I think like atomic said though that if the pregnancy is healthy it will produce enough progesterone so I wouldn't worry about that factor.

[MissyMc7]

As someone who's had lots of losses I would call ASAP and get a blood test. Issues with progesterone don't mean the pregnancy is not healthy. It is up to your body to produce the progesterone for the first 7 weeks after that the placenta begins to form and by 10 weeks the placenta should be taking over progesterone production. My Dr says that if there is an issue with the pregnancy this is when it will fail. But you can have a healthy pregnancy which doesn't get a chance to develop properly if your body fails to provide adequate progesterone early on. This is my issue. If I didn't have all my early tests and supps there is a good chance I still wouldn't have had a baby to take home. So please call your Dr ASAP so they can do whatever is necessary to ensure a sticky healthy pregnancy.

Queen - I too have big babies. My 2nd was induced at 38wks due to size but ended up only being 7lb11oz but my 3rd came a month early at 8lb2oz so pretty nervous what this one will be. But I guess that's my fault for choosing to breed with a man who's 6ft3 and was 10lb at birth.

[Rosie85]

I just assume my problem isnt progesterone related as I had a missed miscarriage which means I had progesterone that was so high it wouldnt release the bad pregnancy. I will still call in the morning and see if they want to see me.

[QueenB3blue]

Yes Rosie maybe you should call since you have had back to back losses:( I also assume my loss was not progesterone related. It was also a missed miscarriage. I found out at 10 wks and you could barely see a fetal pole and I didn't even loose it for another 2 weeks. I believe I just had a bad egg:(
I am interested if your dr will want to see you right away. Keep us posted.

Missy- my DH isn't even 6 ft. I am 5ft 3, by the end of my pregnancy with ds3 it actually hurt when baby moved around!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[tarasue]

If ever in doubt call. Since my missed miscarriage my dr said she didn't believe it was progesterone related but that after I get pregnant again call right away to get progesterone supplements or something. She said they wouldn't hurt anything and could prevent problems again.

[Rosie85]

So I called and they said no need for any bloodwork at all since I just had a work up done a few months ago. They do want to do a dating scan however. I have that scheduled for february 11th. They do not believe me I had a positive test as early as I did. Haha. Hoping I am still pregnant by then! Still have all the symptoms and yes I am grateful for them 2 boys! Haha. Gonna take another pregnancy test in a couple hours to see if it is still dark...i am so paranoid!

[Rosie85]

I too have a tall husband..he is 6'5 but luckily I have average sized babes. All around 7 and some pounds!

[keepthefaith]

Hey girls, I'm so yukky at mo lol and exhausted, it's a good sign but man it's hard work lol

How is everyone else? Xx

[Rosie85]

Me too keep...my tummy is rolling and i am so tired.

[bre_cooper11]

Hello ladies!!
I hope to be added! My LMP was 9 dec but I didn't ovulate until CD 25, BFP on 15of Jan! I had a scan and my EDD is set for Oct 1st! Trying not to obsess about gender but I am :/ ! I had counted this month out but we got BFP!

[srg09cag11]

Hello all! EDD October 6, but will deliver at 37 weeks since this is my fourth c-section. I'm just very tired, but no nausea so far. The time seems to be dragging by as I had a clearly positive test 5 days before my missed period. Hoping to make it to the 8-week mark and see an ultrasound! Fingers crossed for our rainbow boy.

:ballerina: DD1 (2009)
:ballerina: DD2 (2011)
:xy::Angel: DS (2014) forever 6 weeks old

[QueenB3blue]

My tummy isn't giving me to much trouble yet. I know it is still early and will kick in more intense later. I am pretty tired in the evening and want to be in bed most nights by 8:)
Trying my best to stay calm and relaxed. I feel like I will probably have some crazy anxiety once an ultrasound is booked. I think I still relive the moment I knew something was wrong last time every day.
How's everyone else doing?
Hoping we will be adding some due date buddies the next couple weeks!!(February 2ww ladies!)

Welcome and congrats srg and bre!

Queen i have been so tired too. I took 4 hours of naps today and I am still drained.

I have the worst anxiety. Every pain makes me think i am going to miscarry...i don't know how to let it go and stop worrying. I have a feeling this is going to be a very long pregnancy.

I know how you feel as been there and it's awful. The only thing I will say is that I had two mc and then went on to have my perfect DS2 so it can happen! I am now PG again and trying to remain as calm as can as I was so stressed before and I am sure it didn't do me any good. Keeping fingers crossed we all have our pink bundles at the end of all this! I have three weeks till my blood tests and first scan eek!

[QueenB3blue]

I had an awful dream last night. I dreamt I lost this pregnancy. It was very vivid. In the dream I went to the bathroom and wiped and noticed it all in the toilet bowl.
I have a hard time looking at pictures of a baby developing early in pregnancy ever since my loss. Weird. I know.




Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

Sorry about the awful dream Queen. I too have had a couple similar to that. They mostly involve blood and imminent miscarriage. Absolutely terrifying. It makes sense you cant look at development photos...they bother me too. Its like oh that is what my baby looked like when I lost them...even my ticker makes me feel icky. Maybe I should switch to the fruit.

[kitkat18]

Big hugs Rosie and queen B! Positive thoughts and sticky vibes X

[Rosie85]

Thanks kitkat!!

[srg09cag11]

I had a dream last night that I was having triplets?? Yikes.

[Rosie85]

Triplets would be nuts!!! Twins on the other hand...i would love!

[bre_cooper11]

Other than coming down with the flu 2 days after getting my flu shot (today is my first day back to work, I thought I was gonna die!)! I am just exhausted! This pregnancy is not going to zoom by (which, I am okay with because it is most likely my last) because my 2ww turned into 3 almost 4ww!
FX for sticky beans!!
I have also had a super vivid dream about lossing this baby. I think I was in the bathroom, that part was blurry. Just remember the pain, blood and then holding the baby in my hands... Then it was over :/
... Another dream I had... So, my dream was based in The Hunger Games district settings but it was just pregnant woman and their husbands, however, for me it was my husband and my ex (from a million years ago). They were making every woman get an ultrasound (I wonder if this is alittle like divergent, too) and find out the sex of the baby, but they wouldn't tell you in the ultrasound room. We were all assembled back into formation and the announcer woman was reading off names then the gender. I was 3rd to last and they read "boy" and then my dream zoomed forward and I was surrounded by my husband, my Dad and his wife. In the morning as I was telling my hubsand about my dream, he actually told me he dreamt we had a boy. I am a realist, so, I try not to put too much meaning behind it. Just Weird.
...Lastly, I was considering team green (which could be where the dream came from) but I went for my 6wk ultrasound and I was freaking out, thinking about the ramzi theory and comparing. I am trying to calm down, no matter if it is a girl or boy I will love this baby. Just wasnt expecting it to matter sooooo much at 6wks!!!

... That's my update. Some of you know I live in Korea so my times are always off! I hope symptoms are gradual for everyone!

[QueenB3blue]

I keep getting pimples! What the heck. I feel like a teenager.
This is will also be my last baby, so I am trying not to wish away the time. ;)
DH is so sure it is a girl. Which makes me nervous. I kind of wish he wouldn't comment about it:-/

[keepthefaith]

I have never been so tired in my whole life its absolute torture with working 4 days a week and looking after two boys. Also constant nauseous very wearing at mo. Trying not to complain but v hard! Makes it harder as dh and I telling no one till at least 12 weeks so having to act normal hard work.

[QueenB3blue]

I am just 5 weeks today so I am sure the worst is coming for me! We are holding off on telling people until about 15 weeks so we can find out the gender first. I am guessing the hardest part will be covering up any weight I will gain. LE got me down to my high school weight:-/

Hope you can fight off your sickness while around people Keepinthefaith! How many weeks are you?

[Babyxx]

Hi everyone!

I'm sorry, I actually forgot I joined this group, I'm going to blame it on pregnancy brain!

Thanks so much for the positive vibes! Yes, I had my blood work and it was fine, I also had my 7 week u/s and all was good there also. I am very prone to m/c, I have had 4 and a chemical, so I hope everything is ok this time. I will be 9 weeks this week, and I have that all day sickness that you just can't escape. The only time I don't have it is when I'm sleeping, but my hormones are giving me insomnia, so it's pretty crazy.
I have 2 boys already and we are hoping for a girl, I am just so nervous that it's going to be another boy, it's all I can think about.
I think I will get the panorama test, although it's $800, I think it's worth it. It also tells you the gender, I didn't find out with my first 2 until birth, but dh really wants to know for this last one. This is our last one for sure so I'm hoping so much that it's a girl, although I actually didn't sway this time. I was so upset about another m/c that I just didn't feel like swaying. The only thing that gives me hope is dh started running a few times a week and he totally quit drinking coffee, and stopped weight training. So we will see.
Good luck to everyone here, it's so nice to have a place to chat :)

[Rosie85]

Queen..yup next wednesday! Soo nervous. I will be just over 6 weeks. There should be heartbeat right??

[Babyxx]

Oh and forgot to mention, my hair has been so unbelievably greasy, and that coupled with the fact that I don't like to dye my hair in the first trimester is really making me look homeless!
Also very tired, and I really feel 6 months pg right now, my uterus just feels so heavy already. It's so hard trying not to tell anyone yet, soon hopefully though if all goes well

Queen..yup next wednesday! Soo nervous. I will be just over 6 weeks. There should be heartbeat right??

I think the biggest thing they look for is a fetal pole. I know it will be comforting for you to see a heartbeat:) It could be a little early for the heart beat though....I ~think~

[QueenB3blue]

How is everyone doing?? Awful nausea kicked in for me a couple days ago. I forgot how it sticks with you while your sleeping at night. It sucks to slightly wake at night to roll over and feel like you may get sick. The nausea is actually oddly relieving for me. It makes me feel like my body is working right. :)
Rosie, your ultrasound is tomorrow right? You will have to update us on how it goes! FX


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

I am feeling horrible. My nausea is terrible today. All i want to do is lay on the couch all day. But like you queen my not feeling good.is very relieving as i didn't feel sick with my pregnancies that resulted in losses.

My ultrasound is tomorrow indeed...i will of course update. Hopefully we can start posting more in hete...it is so quiet.

[Rosie85]

Keep that is exciting that your blood test is coming up. I still think it is crazy you can find out gender so soon now.

I am team green. Since this is my last we have decided not to find out. I assume it is a boy though so that is what I am preparing for and will probably tell everyone its a boy. Ha.

[QueenB3blue]

This is also my last, but I don't think I can go team green;) but if I did I'd definitely tell everyone it was a boy. That way maybe the gender comments would be kept to a minimum.
I would totally do an early blood test if it wasn't for the money. I plan to have a gender scan done at 15 weeks and then announce my pregnancy. Hopefully I can keep my weight down:-/ o well if not and someone guess's I am pg I already told DH I will say it is a boy. I am mainly worried about how my boys would react to another brother. They are always talking about having a sister. Mostly everyone else had pissed me with their lack of enthusiasm for ds3. So I could care less what they think;)

[srg09cag11]

Nice to see that some people are back! Rosie, we must be due about the same time, but I have no nausea at all. It's making me very nervous. I don't have an ultrasound until the 23rd. It's going to be tough to wait that long!

[Rosie85]

Srg do you have any other symptoms? ? Sorry you are so worried. Hopefully time goes quickly to your scan.

[keepthefaith]

Hey girls, yeah two weeks till bloods and scan now I'm petrified and excited all at the same time!
I'm 8 weeks now and feel pretty yuk most of the time but been wearing two magnetic bracelets last few days and I swear they are making the nauseous feeling manageable. It's still there but not as bad. I only think it's the bands working as the other day I had a pj day and didn't have jewellery on and I was soooo ill. Haven't taken them off since!!
I'm feeling really nervous about the 2ww for test results and how I'm going to deal with disappointment if not my girly. As much as I convince myself I'll be ok with another boy I know deep down I'll be so sad as wont ever have a mother daughter bond. So praying my sway had worked as we tried sooo hard! Must have faith!
Still not told a soul and dh and I feeling proud as last twice we would have told family by now but this time waiting till bloods back and know baby healthy and hopefully girly lol xx

[MissyMc7]

Hi all, wow it is quiet in this group. I haven't been around much as kids are back at school and all their after school activities and dh has been traveling for work so time is flying.
I'm 9 weeks tomorrow, progesterone is doing well, still on supplements but have stopped needing blood tests (had about 7). Have my booking in appt with my ob on Monday and will get to see bub again. Feeling nauseous all the time but haven't needed meds so no where near as bad as it was with my boys. Incredibly tired and greasy hair are my only other symptoms.
Have told 1 friend about the pregnancy, only because I accidentally found out she is pregnant and due 5 weeks before me so couldn't resist telling her we'll be bump buddies. Hubby is getting impatient and wants to start telling people. We are going on a family holiday from 12-13 weeks and my mum is coming with us and staying in the same apartment. Dh doesn't think I have any chance of hiding it from her for the week. I just want the kids to be the first to know and I don't want to tell them until after the 12 week scan which I won't be able to have until we get back. I'm also considering having a gender scan at 14 weeks and not telling until after that. As much as I would love to go team green as I never have I don't think I can for my daughter's sake. As soon as we tell her we're pregnant she is going to be praying so hard for a sister and I just think she will be too heartbroken to wish for months and have another brother pop out. Dh said he really hopes it's a girl purely because we are totally out of boys names we agree on. Took us a week to name ds2.
Hope everyone else is well and hopefully we'll get some new ladies joining us soon!

Don't have much time but wanted to pop on and share that my scan went well! Baby was measuring right on at 6 w 2 d and a heart rate of 123 bpm. They said there was a small bleed by the baby but that it probably is just from the placenta forming. Still has me worried of course.

[QueenB3blue]

Great news Rosie! So happy you got to see the heartbeat!!

[keepthefaith]

Fab Rosie that you saw little hearbeat!! That is great! You must be so excited!!

[Rosie85]

It was so wonderful to see. I cried. So embarrassing! I am still banking on this babe being a boy but ramzi theory says girl. My husband now has his hopes up.

[srg09cag11]

Rosie, I'm just really tired and I can't control my body temperature. When I'm at work (I teach high school), I'm sweating like crazy, but as soon as I get home and sit around a little, I can't get warm no matter how many layers of clothes I wear. I'm having a lot of bloating/constipation issues already too. Yikes!

With my two girls, I was super sick. With my boy (my third), I was rarely ill. He passed away at six weeks old due to a severe heart defect this past summer, so my anxiety is already super high. I'm hoping this baby is healthy, first and foremost, but another boy would be nice too!

[Rosie85]

Oh srg, i am so very terribly sorry for the loss of your son. So very sad. I hope the little bean in your belly is another boy...not to replace but to help heal the heartbreak of losing your beautiful boy. I know way too many people who have lost kids and it is such a sad situation. My heart goes out to you.

I like you srg can not get my temps under control either...i am hot and then cold and dizzy and shaky. I just feel absolutely terrible with this pregnancy all around. I get this terrible pressure/bloating in my abdomen and it drives my crazy.

Today i woke up sick with a sore throat so it is just a miserable day. Two 2 hour long naps and I just want to go to bed still. Yuck.

[QueenB3blue]

srg- so sorry about your baby boy:( hopefully you can add another boy to help ease the pain. I am sure any babe will do that thought.....
Rosie- that really stinks you have a sore throat on top of all the prego yuckies!

It is so hard to find something that sounds good to eat when everything smells horrible to me!! Coffee is usually one of my favorite smells in the world but smelling it now makes me want to up chuck!!

Okay so I have a fever and the chills. I am so scared for the baby now...fevers can harm them right? I also feel so so so sick to my stomach and can't eat anything. I am unsure if its the illness making my stomach feel this bad or morning sickness. If it is morning sickness than wow i have never had it this bad. My husband stayed home from work today and I am in bed trying to rest...hard to do when i feel like ralphing. Yuck.

[atomic sagebrush]

Only over 103 with fevers and pregnancy. Lower than that and don't worry about it. If it's higher, it's worth taking a tylenol if you can keep them down. Feel better soon!

[Rosie85]

Thanks atomic. It was 102 so i took tylenol just in case. I never ever get fevers...its crazy i have one.

Well I am officially joining the due date group! October 26th is my day:) I have many mixed emotions as I come to terms with being here again- my loss in December is still very fresh and I can't believe sometimes that I am back at square one.

Aside from that I am already having pretty awful nausea and the acne is back in full force- even on my chest! Gross. I suppose I should be saying I am lucky, some women would die for pregnancy symptoms, my best friend included and I told her today that I was pregnant. It is so hard to share this with her but i know she was hurt when I kept my last pregnancy from her. Anyway-

Here I am. Again! Glad to be amongst you all!

And did I mention the wicked sharp cramps I have been having the last two days?!? Both sides, low in the groin on and off. Pretty painful. I wonder if it's related to my recent loss?

Round ligament pain. It is the thin ligaments that hold up your uterus stretching. Remember, your muscles have a memory too and are accommodating your pregnancy early. Totally normal. It happens when you have had children before. Most women notice it later on, but totally normal to have it early. I had it BAD with DS2! That's how I knew I was pregnant, because I couldn't get a positive test until 21DPO!

I might, might not, or might flare up now and then. With DS2, it went away by the end of the first trimester, only to flare up now and then in the third. Rest helps and when you can, walking and a belly band to support your uterus and lift it so your tiny muscles holding up your uterus gets a break. It was a GODSEND for me in the third trimester!

Congrats again 2 boys and welcome! ! Those sharp pains are indeed normal. I have gotten a ton already. I am with you on the worry boat...it is really hard. My last two pregnancies both ended in loss so it is hard not to analyze every pain I feel as something bad. I am way way way sicker this time so while I feel awful i take it as a sign this one is working and so I am grateful.

[QueenB3blue]

Well the stomach flu has hit my house:( ds1 was throwing up all night Friday night. I am praying no one else gets it!

2boys- I have the crazy cramps also. I can't remember them being this bad with any other pregnancy I have had. But maybe I am sensitive to things going on since the mc.



Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[2boysJustOneGirl]

QueenB I hope the your guy is feeling better! It's very hard to see them sick isn't it?
I agree about being sensitive due to mc, it seems like everything is "raw", including the my emotions. I am really struggling to relax, I am constantly thinking how annoying it is that I am back here, nervous about gender AND miscarrying again. I am going to do the MaterniT21 test again- ahhhh! I can't believe I am doing this again. The waiting is going to pure torture. Last night I decided I am picking up my running program again- I was just into when I miscarried in December-I need something to burn off this worry!

Thanks 2boys:) I have also toyed with the idea of picking up a good exercise routine. But the nausea keeps me from even attempting to put in my t25 videos:-/ I know some strength training would do me some good. But is so hard to jump back into it when feeling so yucky. Plus it has been almost a year since I dumped all strength training for my sway. Yikes!!

Ds1 is feeling better. I am praying my younger 2 don't get it. Seems so much harder when the younger ones get it, they don't make it to the toilet as easily:(

I bet it will be materniT21 time for you before you know it!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hey no still feeling yuk constantly, only think stops me feeling sick is to eat so I am slowly gaining all the weight that I lost with sway grrrr. Planning on trying to watch calories and exercise once sickness stops which hoping it will soon. I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow time going relatively fast! Constantly worrying though as my two miscarriages were so different and the second one I had no bleeding and full on symptoms and went to scan at ten weeks to see no heartbeat. That's was so hard as I was so sick and had loads of typical symptoms which means this time I don't feel symptoms are a comfort. I have harmony test next Tuesday and a scan will feel better after that I pray!

How is everyone ? X

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Harmony test is coming up soon keepthefaith! How exciting and absolutely torturous! Waiting for that, for me, was totally and utterly painful.

I am also very nervous about my first scan, and after two losses I can imagine how you feel! I will be keeping you in my thoughts[emoji120]

I have contacted my midwife and mentioned a scan. I want one ASAP, like within the 6-7 week mark. I will likely meet with her this week to discuss the plan. If she isn't up for it, due to midwifery beliefs, I have a great ob who I will go and see.

I am still sick but no fever anymore. My morning sickness is terrible..i am barely eating. I got some watermelon today and made chx noodle soup and those things go down pretty easy.

Keep...i kbow the feeling of feeling very pregnant and then seeing nothing on the 10 week scan but unlike you my morning sickness wasnt terrible so the fact that mine is now is somewhat comforting. I believe the odds of two missed miscarriage in a row are so so low and i am sure all is fine for you this time!

When i had my scan they saw a small bleed in the placenta...has anyone else had that and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?? The doc said my risk of miscarriage was a little higher because of it and now i am so worried.

[QueenB3blue]

Rosie- did they call your bleed a subchorionic hemorrhage? I know lots of people have these and everything turns out fine. I am sorry you have to be stressed out about this:( just remember baby had a strong heartbeat!

Keepthefaith- one week until your blood test!!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

They just called it a bleed. She said it was probably from the placenta forming or what not. I am assuming it is similar to a subchorionic hematoma. I read if they are large enough they can cause the placenta to detach. I am hoping the blood just reabsorbs...if i see it i will freak.

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Rosie I don't blame you for worrying. I had a large subchorionic bleed with DS2 and I never passed any blood. My body must have absorbed it, by my 20 week scan it was gone. .

Try not to fret too much. I was told they are very common and even women with large bleeds (me) go on to have healthy normal babies:)

Hey ladies. I'll come join you. I've been lurking but I need a sounding board :). I'm 4 weeks and just started to feel tired. My boobs have grown yay! Today I did something stupid. I fell off my horse. I was only on her as I was getting photos of her to sell her :( I got winded and grazed my arm and it hurt a lot! I rested for the rest of the day and even had a sleep. I know there is nothing that can be done if I have armed the baby so I just have to wait for my scan in a few weeks :( feeling very sore and stupid.

Hope you are ok Mars, I am sure baby just fine, it's so tiny at mo that it's well cushioned. For what its worth when I was 7 - 8 weeks pregnant with DS2 i was on a majorly fast roller coaster at a theme park and was whooshing about at 100 miles an hour, it was only after I wondered if I hadn't done something very stupid! Also when I had DS2 I ended up having to go in and get my appendix out and was pregnant the whole time! Babies in the womb are very hardy! Hope you're not too bruised hun and congrats again xx

Yes:( mine actually starts off tolerable in the morning. Then gets worse as the day goes on. Which I guess is nice because morning is one of my busy time getting ds1 and ds2 off to school. But cooking supper is a chore. And nothing usually sounds good. Nothing. I feel super thirsty all the time and I just want to chug a nice cold glass of water. But just taking one drink makes the nausea worse.
BUT I really don't want to complain because I am hoping it is my body working extra hard giving this little one the best care:)
Rosie, I am glad your fever is gone. Do you have another scan anytime soon??

Mars, Welcome! Sorry you fell off your horse. I hope your appointment gets here quick so your mind can be put to ease;)

Welcome Mars! Sorry about your horse accident- it's very hard not be concerned, I know, but I feel like at this stage any bumps won't affect the pregnancy much as the baby is literally a couple cells big! There is a lot of cushion for that tiny seed! I think the concern with a fall in pregnancy is when the baby/placenta is large enough to feel blunt force, especially if the impact occurs on your belly.

I started taking the unisom b6 mix ...just couldn't get through my day without it. I was soo sick. My grandmother passed away and i needed to be well enough today to go to her funeral.

I do not have a scan coming up... i am hoping if they dont hear the heart by doppler on the 4th they will do one for me. I doubt they will hear it because i will only be 9.5 weeks and my uterus is tilted back

Hi again ladies...

I'm so undecided if I should get the panorama test. I think the worst part for me is when they tell you the gender. It's so official. I almost just want to try and guess by u/s only so there could be some ambiguity/false hope. I just am so afraid of hearing boy again, but I know the gender is already determined and it is what it is.
I will think about it. The cost is a huge factor as well, it's $800 here, so it's a tough decision.
Did anyone here get harmony or panorama yet? I think panorama is a bit superior because it also checks for microdeletions, but please don't quote me on that.

[keepthefaith]

I'm in uk and getting harmony test on Tuesday, it's £500 here and includes a lengthy scan. I'm nervous r about results but figure the sooner I know the sooner can accept our fate.

[Rosie85]

I am doing okay...it was very hard losing my grandma. It was unexpected as she was still vibrant and going strong. She had a sudden and massive heart attack. It is the first member of my family I have lost that is near and dear to me. Life can be so hard sometimes.

So i am still having a hard time with the nausea and eating. I have found the only things i want is fruit...french fries with catsup and quesadillas. How about everyone else???

[Babyxx]

So sorry to hear about your grandmother Rosie, especially how sudden it was.

Ugh I'm so nauseated constantly, can't really drink water so I'm drinking watered down juice or coconut water. Only feel like carbs mostly, and tea makes me feel sick, usually I love tea everyday...

Keepthefaith, yes you have a good point about accepting the fate. I have been pretending it's a girl and looking on line at all the cute pottery barn kids rooms for girls. Probably setting myself up for huge disappointment, but it's fun for now!
Maybe I will just get the panorama, we will see...

[srg09cag11]

Hello, all! Sorry about your grandmother, too, Rosie.

I had two days of horrible nausea and vomiting, and today I'm back to my usual: only being sick if I don't eat frequently enough. I hope this means that everything is going well with the pregnancy; I have my first appointment/in-office scan on Monday!

[keepthefaith]

My nausea has got slightly less severe in last few days though still hits me now and then, hoping it's cause I'm at ten weeks and things getting nearer the 12 week mark. 3 days till my first scan and harmony bloods. Eek scared x

[2boysJustOneGirl]

All I want to eat is Nutella. I don't even like Nutella. I find my nausea gets worse as the day goes on and by supper I am a wreck. Crackers help tho.
Emotionally, like my last pregnancy, I am a super bitch. I cry at the silliest things and have no patience for my boys or my husband. Lunatic!!! It makes my GD worse too, and I find myself isolated much Of the time bc I can't stand other ppl's perfect happy lives.

Anyway congrats to all the newbies! And welcome to the fall baby group- DS 2 is an October baby and the idea of another possible baby boy makes me sad. I am sure all these feelings will fade as time goes on.

Who else is doing the fetal blood tests for gender?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Babyxx]

Ok anyone believe the ramzi thing? I have started to look at it, and I checked my 7 week vaginal scan pic, and if I hold it upright against my stomach, the baby and anything else (looks mostly like a blob of stuff, no definition) is on my left side. Does this mean it is on my left side? (When you look at the pic, the baby is on the right side)
I couldn't find an early one from my previous pregnancies, so I don't know what to think, but apparently girls implant on the left side 97% of the time?
Has anyone had any success with this theory?

[Rosie85]

With ramzi if it was vaginal the right of the pic is the left and vice versa. It was right with my last baby. I had a boy and it was on my right. This time my scan showed opposite..baby on the right of picture...or left of uterus. Dont know what I am having yet though.

[Babyxx]

Hey Rosie,
So both of our ultrasound pics sound the exact same! It will be interesting to see if we end up with the same gender.

I was also looking at this Brazilian gender predictor (my dh is ready to put me in an asylum) and apparently it has a high percentage of accuracy. I did it just for fun and it was right with my first two ds and the ds I had mc with, and this time it says girl lol. I'll copy and paste incase anyone wants to try and remember it's just for fun!
- ODD AGE with ODD MONTH= GIRL
- EVEN AGE with EVEN MONTH= GIRL
- EVEN AGE with ODD MONTH= BOY
- ODD AGE with EVEN MONTH= BOY

(I'm totally grasping here!)

[Babyxx]

Oh btw the month is the month you conceived and the age is the age you were when you conceived.....

[Rosie85]

Well i was 29 and conceived in january. So girl!

Ds1 i was 22 and conceived in November so boy and its right fir him
Ds2 i was 24 and conceived in February so that one is girl and was wrong.
Ds3 i was 28 and conceived in july so that one is right too...boy.

I want to say that it could be nothing! It can be nothing. I am hopeful for you and I wish you the best. I am also feeling very worried- yesterday I had severe stomach cramping and diarrhea (sorry) and today I just feel "not pregnant". This is what happened last time- the GI symptoms and a couple days later the bleeding started. So I truly know your worry and concern and the helplessness of it all.

Hi Rosie, good to see you in here. I think I remember going through some events at the same time as you. It's all a blur now. At the end of the day, my last cycle was neither sway, nor IVF. It was a medicated injectibles timed intercourse. I did not go forward with IVF because I could not produce enough eggs. I sort of gave up on gender because it got really hard for me to get pregnant any which way that I tried. It was very hard to make that choice. I hope it was the right one.

[Rosie85]

Yes keshet...i remember having issues at the same time. I am sorry about your losses and troubles. I too gave up on gender and swaying. I am happy to be pregnant at all and just hope this baby pulls through.

[MelliMae]

Hey ladies :)

Can I join?
We just got our BFP This week and EDD should be 1/11/15 - super excited. We are swaying for a boy, so now we need to sit tight and see if it worked, I don't mind either way though :)

This is baby #2 for us, we already have a little girl who will be 3 in a few weeks.

[keepthefaith]

How is everyone? It is soo quiet in here.

[QueenB3blue]

Not much to report. Still feeling pretty yucky. My nausea definitely is worse as the day goes on. I still haven't called to make my first appointment yet. Not sure why but I just want to wait until around 12 weeks. Probably because that's when my loss was.......

I am around 9weeks and fill like I already have a small bump. Trying to hold out until 15 weeks to make an "announcement".

Has anyone heard from Mars? Just wondering if she has seen a Dr yet, since she was nervous about falling off her horse.

Can I join? Af isn't due until Friday, so I'm 11dpo right now. I had my first very faint positive Sunday. Had my bloods done today at my hcg is at 41. I don't know if that's good or bad for 11dpo, but it's a starting point! I have them taken again in 48 hours. I will be due November 13th, it's a Friday.... I already checked.

My back is pretty achy, stretching sensations in my lower abdomen, headaches, a little nausea, gassy, shortness of breath, dizzy spells. All pretty normal symptoms but the lower back aches have me concerned. I only remember having lower back pains right before I miscarried in December, so it's got me worried some. I'm just hoping since I was so recently pregnant, my body doesn't need much time to get back into pregnancy mode and not that there is something wrong with this baby too...

Glad to be here with you all, hope I get to stick around for the long haul!!

Here is a weird coincidence..... My edd is November 13, 2015. I found out I was pregnant with the baby I lost on November, 13 2014. I just thought it was odd that the beginning and (hopefully) the end of this baby # 3 roller coaster starts and ends on November 13.

Crazy how things work out like that Tara. My fingers are crossed that all will be fine for you!

I have an appointment tomorrow. I am praying they will give me a scan to ease my mind. I have had several panic attacks this week and nightmares every night about losing the baby. I am coming up to the time in my last pregnancy where things went south. I hate this anxiety. I just want to relax and enjoy things. On the plus side my nausea is easing up a bit. Still no appetite but i can finally eat.

[QueenB3blue]

Tarasue, my bday is on November 13th;). And I was born on a Friday!

Rosie- hope you get a scan tomorrow or at least hear a nice strong heartbeat via Doppler.

Just spent 24 hours with the stomach flu -- used today to rehydrate and feeling much better overall! Repeat ultrasound in less than two weeks!

[Rosie85]

My husbands birthday is November 13th as well! Haha. Very good day for a bday tara!

Sorry about the tummy bug srg. Glad you are better today though!

I really hope the doppler will pick up the heart beat but my uterus is tilted toward my back so i doubt it...that's why i am hoping for the scan!

[Babyxx]

Hey everyone,

I just posted in the announcement section about my panorama results I received today, we are having a girl!! My edd is sept 13th, still can't believe it!
We have 2 boys now, and I mc a boy last sept. I sincerely hope everyone gets their DG. It's so nice to have a place to chat.
I will be posting my non sway as soon as I get a chance. I am feeling so huge right now, measured 12+6 today, so it's a couple of days ahead..

Welcome Tarasue....when I was testing this time for,bfp, it's the first time I was getting those ghost lines for about a week, with all the 3 other pg I have had the line has been pretty dark, I know it prob has nothing to do with gender, but I think even a really faint line may be a positive..

Srg, oh me and dh had the stomach flu a couple of weeks ago, it was nasty. I have never vomited from having the flu, how unpleasant to be doing that especially while being pg! Glad you are feeling better :)

[kitkat18]

Big congrats baby XX how exciting! Hope its the first of many dreams coming true X

My confidence in this pregnancy went way up after I put the two dates together, that means it's meant to be right!!

I haven't forgot those double rainbows! Part of me thinks it meant twins, I would be happy either way:). But, your scenario makes since too.

I can't believe how fast symptoms have started this time, Af isn't due until Friday and I feel like I'm 8 weeks pregnant! I have a little cold that I'm sure is adding to the symptoms. I also started progesterone suppositories last night, just as a precaution, the doctor said my counts looked good and the progesterone can't hurt anything, but can help. Anyone else have any experience with them? The pharmacist just said it would intensify symptoms.

Oh thanks Tarasue :)

Yes I was having a delima about if I wanted such an unequivocal answer about the gender right at that moment, but I decided to do it as it's a good screening to see if I would need an amnio. In fact, I was such a nervous lunatic about it that when I went in for my 12 week scan and first pre natal appt, the receptionist told me my panorama results were in and I started crying because for sure I thought it was going to be a boy. She probably thinks I'm nuts and I don't blame her. She quickly came over with a copy to take home that said sex of baby is female. I just couldn't believe it! I honestly lost so much sleep over it, so ridiculous!

[2boysJustOneGirl]

I see my midwife on Friday. She is going to order an urgent ultrasound and I expect it will happen Saturday or Sunday. I am so excited to catch my first glimpse!!!! Can hardly wait! I will be 7 weeks and I think the standard is to wait until the 7th week so that an image will be guaranteed- at 6 weeks it may just be too small and the chance of needing a repeat in a week is high. So I am told!

Hey very quiet in here, how is everyone doing?? I can't believe I'll be 12 weeks on Wednesday!! Has gone fast in a lot of ways and be glad when can share our news with world! I have midwife appointment tomorrow and 12 week scan and consultant appointment on Thursday plus should get harmony results by Friday so it's a big week!
Still feeling nauseous most days and so tired but eating constantly helps so I just have to except going to be massive and will lose it all after!!

Where is everyone else at? Xx

[Babyxx]

Hey ktf,

You're right, it is really quiet in here...
I'm right there with you, constantly eating to try to keep nausea at bay. I was lucky enough to recieve my panorama results right before my 12 week scan, so I didn't have to speculate about the nub during the scan, it was so relaxing. Good luck and I will be thinking of you this week!

[Rosie85]

I am at the 10 week mark tomorrow. My nausea has been waning do hopefully by 12 weeks i will feel great. My 13 week scan is scheduled for april 1st. I wont be searching for a nub since i am team green.

[tarasue]

Morning all! Only 4w4d, and couldn't be happier to have this constant ick feeling and total exhaustion!!! I had hardly any symptoms with my loss in December, so I gladly welcome all the nasties!!! Having a hard time keeping up my workouts.... I am trying so hard to keep fit this pregnancy, but the dizziness and exhaustion is already holding me back!

Tara so glad to hear you are feeling the icks and exhaustion as it can be reassuring! I too wanted to keep more fit this.time around and i really barely leave the couch. Ive only lost weight though so once i feel better i will just get my butt in gear and start walking again.

10 weeks today. Feeling a lot of pelvic pain...the sciatica like stuff. No fun. Still no real appetite but im starting to get cravings. I really want tacos covered in cheese sauce..haha.

2boys how was your scan last friday?! I have been waiting for an update!

[QueenB3blue]

10 weeks here about. Still feeling yucky. I have tried the unisom/b6 a few times. It usually helps, especially during the night. Last night I took it within 10/15 minutes of my prenatal and I felt awful all night long and dry heaved like crazy in the morning. I am wondering if it has anything to do with taking it too close to my prenatal?
This week should go by quick for me. I am preparing for ds3 Bday party over the weekend. The next week I will finally call my midwife to schedule my first visit. I don't know why I am so backwards. Everyone else that has had a loss is wanting to get in ASAP. But I am putting it off. What the heck is wrong with me!!

On a GD not. I actually stopped and looked at some baby girl clothes while shopping this weekend. There were 2 sun dresses that I could have just cried over they were so cute. I was with my mother and about 10 minutes before that she was telling me how this family we know just surprised everyone that they were expecting a little girl after 2 boys. Jeeeez my GD kicked in after that, I couldn't even sleep that night because of it.

Hope everyone is doing well. The nausea sure does suck but I agree it is somewhat reassuring!

P.S. I want tater totes;)

Queen i think it is understandable you want to wait. I am constantly terrified and i almost feel like all my scans and reassurance are giving me false hope.

Speaking of tator tots...we have a restaurant around here that has the best tots you will ever eat. They are soooo crispy and seasoned just so and they have a sauce they serve with it called rock sauce. Omg. I really want to go there now. Haha

Glad you are feeling the symptoms, it's so reassuring.

I'm having the worst most sharp pelvic pain of my life when I walk, way worse than when I was in my 3rd trimester and I'm not even 14 weeks yet. I can't take it, anyone have this or know how to ease it?

Have you considered seeing a chiropractor for you back? They really do help! It's just one of those things that you have to continue going to get the benefits and can get pricy:/


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[QueenB3blue]

Babyxx- look up SPD in pregnancy. Basically all the hormones we get during pregnancy that prepare are pelvic area to separate during birth go hay wire. So your pelvic bones start separating during pregnancy causing extreme pain. Unfortunately there is not a lot you can do. The bigger the baby gets and the more weight you gain will only intensify the pain. Some people have luck with the belly support systems, you can get ones that wrap up under your pelvic/pubic area that help.
I had it with all my pregnancies. It is the absolute worst. Going up and down step is really painful. Sleeping was a nightmare, turning over in bed was the hardest. You pretty much want to keep your knees together all the time, so sitting cross legged is a big no no. And never try putting all your weight on one foot, so when taking pants on and off you want to be sitting.
So I am rambling....... Sorry maybe this is not even the pain you are feeling? Hoping for you it is not FX.
The best way I could describe the pain was it felt like my pubic bone was being pulled apart:( the good thing was that after birth it pretty much disappeared for me.
I think you can look up some exercises that can help strengthen the muscles holding those areas together.

Queen, thanks so much for that, it's exactly what I am feeling! Yes the stairs are the worst ever for me. I will definitely look into some kind of chiropractic therapy, great idea. Also it would most likely help if I carried my 2 year old around less, sometimes even my 3 year old insists that I carry him up or down the stairs! I'm nervous about the pain towards the end of this pg if this is how sore I am now!

Yes I will look into a chiropractor for sure, thanks for that. I may also try accupuncture, it really helped me a couple of weeks ago when I had the worst headache of my life, and Tylenol was not really working at all. It made such a difference, I felt like a new person. Plus I hate taking anything during pregnancy, even Tylenol, although they say it's safe, you just never know...

[keepthefaith]

How is everyone doing? I've made the 12 week mark yay! Got scan tomorrow then telling our friends and family!

I'm going to go completely crazy by the end of the weekend.

[Rosie85]

Welcome 1dd! It is so so early for you still...i wouldn't worry yet!

Okay this sucks soo bad. I literally peed 8 times in the last hour and its not stopping. Is this normal?!?! It doesnt burn and its a bunch of pee. It literally like my bladder is the size of a walnut. I am getting super annoyed. I read somewhere close to 11 weeks your uterus is too big for your pelvic cavity and really pushes the bladder and it will be relieved at 12 weeks when it moves up...i really hope its true. I have never in my life had to go so much...4th baby issue? Lol

Try not to worry yourself sick dd1, I know how much worry can consume a person. That's all I've been doing is worrying and praying for this baby.

Afm- I had my bloods redone yesterday 4w7d. My hcg was 3682!!! I was praying for 1500, that would have meant it was doubling every 48 hrs. It went from 120 3w7d to 3682 a week later! I am finally feeling a little relief. Since I had a miscarriage in December, I can't help but worry. My first ultrasound will be next Thursday! I so hope we see a healthy little bean with a good strong heart beat. I will be a long week to wait...

Hey everyone! I have been following you all just keeping quiet as I wait for my scan. I guess the department is backed up so I will finally have it done tomorrow night at 7pm. I am pretty nervous and excited- I will be 8 weeks so the little nut should be big enough to see a good heart beat. I hope.
I have been severely sick the past week, barely able to eat anything except junk! It's bad. And I feel like I am more like 6 months pregnant than 8 weeks! Pretty round already!
Other than that I am so tired I don't do anything besides work and parent- no energy for anything and I feel so lazy for it. I should be exercising but I am literally just exhausted.
Anyway....I will let you know how the scan goes:)

I am feeling better day by day. Still tired but less nausea and more gusto to go out and do stuff and clean the house. I can eat now too...small portions though of course...eating too much makes me very sick.

[keepthefaith]

First day I've not felt sick in ages and I gutted my house as been really needing it. Now knackered but so enjoyed a day of feeling semi normal! Told all friends and family today and it was so much fun!

Thread crashing- I felt DS2 movement at 10w2d confirmed during my first US! My midwife scheduled the US because she found his heartbeat on the Doppler right away! I was so sick and couldn't keep anything down. She thought I was having twins!

During the US, I kept feeling him move. The tech asked me to press a button to mark on the screen when I felt him move. Every time he made large movements, I had pressed the button and recorded it on the US!

Crazy, huh?! Totally possible to feel baby early if you have been pregnant before!

[keepthefaith]

Told everyone it's a girl Rosie couldn't not!! So no little surprises this time and couldn't be happier!!

[Keshet]

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether or not I should do a CVS or an amnio. Because of my age, I feel the need to do invasive diagnostic testing. But I worry about CVS potentially harming the placenta-- although it would be so tempting to know that everything is ok so much earlier. What are you all doing?

[bluebonnet22]

Keshet - just dropping in this thread to say I think with all the risks involved with an amnio or CVS you should consider NIPT (Harmony, Maternit21, etc instead). You can take some of them as early as 8-10 weeks and then if you get positive results you could always get the CVS/Amnio to confirm. Is there a particular condition you need to test for that isn't covered by NIPT ? I'm not sure where you're located but in the US my Maternit21 wasn't covered by insurance but they have a special if insurance won't cover it, it's only $200.

[Keshet]

Hi Bluebonnet, thank you for writing. I thought about NIPT and went to the doctor to do it. But, she convinced me that it is pretty limited in terms of the number of conditions that it could pick up. I am 42 and already have a child with issues. I want to be absolutely sure as much as I possibly can that there are no genetic issues. But, at the same time want to do what is safest.

[keepthefaith]

When I told my midwife other day I had had Harmony test she said it's much safer than amnio so i would def go for that or similar if you can? We had to get it done privately it it was worth every penny for peace of mind and found out gender too! Also had results before 12 weeks so in my opinion it's the way to go., hth x

[bluebonnet22]

Keshet - I'd be curious which trisomies can't be tested using blood but can be tested using amnio. The nipt have recently added many more conditions so I can't imagine a trisomy that isn't covered. Unfortunately there are many birth defects bit covered by nipt (spinal bfida, cleft palate, etc), but those don't show up on amnio anyways.

[2boysJustOneGirl]

I agree with bluebonnet. NIPT is very inclusive.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Keshet]

I am not sure now of the differences--just that the NIPT may contain cells from the placenta which could be mosaic and not necessarily reflective of the baby. The amnio get cells more directly from the baby and therefore has a higher accuracy rate. Will have my genetic counseling meeting tomorrow to discuss more. I also talked more with my doctor today and decided that we will do NIPT and the NT US. If things look bad, we will follow up with CVS soon. If things look ok, I will do an amnio later just to confirm. I feel better about an amnio later than a CVS earlier because I worry about messing with the placenta. I have a history of placenta issues in a past pregnancy. Does his make sense?

I am not sure now of the differences--just that the NIPT may contain cells from the placenta which could be mosaic and not necessarily reflective of the baby. The amnio get cells more directly from the baby and therefore has a higher accuracy rate. Will have my genetic counseling meeting tomorrow to discuss more. I also talked more with my doctor today and decided that we will do NIPT and the NT US. If things look bad, we will follow up with CVS soon. If things look ok, I will do an amnio later just to confirm. I feel better about an amnio later than a CVS earlier because I worry about messing with the placenta. I have a history of placenta issues in a past pregnancy. Does his make sense?

Makes total sense. When will you have the NIPT and scan done? Wish you all the best:)

Hi Keshet,
Yes, I read the same thing about the mosaic cells, and everyone has different opinions so it's hard to decide what to do. I had the panorama around 10.5 weeks, and the regular quad screening with u/s, and if anything was high risk, I would have went for amnio.
I think what you are doing makes total sense. Epically avoiding the cvs and doing amnio instead, which has lower risks. Good luck and keep us posted :)
