Due June/July/ August 2017

Yeah, I did some googling and I think you guys are right, it's just too early to see anything. Pregnancy tests are still positive and I'm having lots of symptoms, so I'm sure all is well. I haven't had any bleeding or cramping.

I agree that it makes logical sense that my bump could just be bloating. The thing is, I have learned over many years to always trust my intuition - it has never let me down before. I didn't WANT twins, so there's no reason I should be fixated on that idea. And the fact that the doctor thought this was a possibility too (before I mentioned my concern) gives me serious pause. Multiples are high risk, so it's not something I've wished for, but I am really wondering. The level of exhaustion, hunger and thirst is just not normal - I drank almost 4L of whole milk yesterday plus several cups of water, and I can barely move around. Maybe I have gestational diabetes.

I'm looking forward to discussing my concerns with an OB, when I can see one, and hopefully getting a follow up ultrasound. Thanks all for your support. :happy:

I just had my appt with the nurse. She just went over my history and all that. Almost died when I told her I've been pregnant 7 times... Sigh. They have my EDD for 15 June, which I told them it's not accurate but was like it's ok. Then I scheduled my 10-12 wk appt on the 29 Nov, which the nurse said they may or may not do an US... they will only do an US if I measure off or they can't find the HB... Wonderful.

So, I have been extremely exhausted but not too sick... I could probably sleep all day but then be fine the next! I am bit nauseous here and there, too. Nothing terrible, right now. I am still starving!!! I wanted an bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and baked potato and brisket with cheese and butter... omg yum!! Then I wanted Nachos!

Serenity,
I hope everything works out!! I hate being in suspense, it drives me mad!!

Hey Bre,

That's great news that you managed to see a nurse, tbh though Shouldn't they do an US regardless at 12 weeks ?
That's the standard in the UK, and we're really backwards compared to the rest of Europe and I thought the USA too.


I think you're symptoms are right in line with how many weeks gone you calculate, the tiredness and wanting to eat carbs to energise you lol
All good signs.

Yes, it should be done at 12 wks regardless! However I have military insurance, which as I've said before, is a blessing and a curse. Ugh... they do the absolute minimum and If you're measuring on track means your dates are right and baby is fine... :rolleyes: ugh.

I think we'll at least get a private scan. However, the thought of it makes my anxiety sky rocket, I put so much into my sway! I think I would be at peace if it was another girl, but it would be difficult to know that my sway failed... and I don't take 'no' very well and the fact that this has to be our last and it would be another girl would be the worst part.

I am glad I am having symptoms that are aligned with how far I am! Glad to know bean is sticking! With how hungry I am just fearful I am going to be a house this time... I'm already starting out 7lbs heavier!

I've just booked another private scan for this Saturday! Now I just need to talk hubby into it lol...cant wait to see how much baby has changed since the last one x

We went to the first 8 week OB appointment today, heard the heartbeat, and got an ultrasound! Everything looks good so far.Attachment 33613

Yeah Amelia- those are great pictures!! So happy for you that you got to hear the hearbeat and everything checked out good. I have my 8 week ultrasound next Wednesday and I hope mine is as positive as yours. So happy for you!! How are you feeling?

Wow so much to catch up on! Amelia your pictures look great, that's really exciting!
Bre I know how you feel about gender worry. At the moment I am trying not to think about it but this is definitely our last baby and we won't find out. I'm not going to look at the screen I don't think!!
I went for a 'reassurance' scan on Tuesday. I thought I was exactly 6+0 based on very sharp O pains but I was only measuring 5+5 so I have to go back next Wednesday. She says there's some variation in how quickly they grow but im a bit worried. Hopefully all will be ok though. My next scan is on Wednesday. Been feeling more sick this week so I'm hopeful that's a good sign.

Great pictures Amelia! I am guessing girl.

Honeybee, I didn't confirm the gender with dd3... it was great. But I 'knew' she was another girl :) So, that's awesome you guys are waiting!!!! For me, waiting helped my GD... I did have a few break downs but overall it helped! I think this time we will find out... I need to know if my sway worked. Still gives me utter anxiety when thinking about it!

So, yesterday I was craving pork roast and had it for dinner!! This morning as I was getting the left overs for work, I threw up... which is a first since my son! I only had mild-severe nausea with the girls. With dd1 I was just terribly nauseated!! I could only eat egg white and toast! ... I only every actually threw up with my son.

...Seriously, not trying to look into symptoms haha... it's sooo hard!!

Amelia ! Such cute pictures :D
You must feel so much more relieved now, what a fantastic appointment.

Hope yours goes really amazing too GirlieCat, and am looking forward to seeing the piccies.

Bre - I feel the same about the NHS, it's a blessing and a curse. We get the basic 3 scans, and it's free healthcare, but it is lacking in some areas.
My bff just had a baby (she's in Germany), and she had 9 scans all paid for my her insurance, all she ended up paying for the whole birth was 150euros, and the care was incredible.
Interesting about not throwing up with your DD, I just feel nauseated all the time, but I worry it's another boy for my OH (he has 2 boys, and is one of 3 boys)
