That's good advice Abi :-) Thank you! Hope your issues subside for you soon. I have battled with restless leg syndrome my whole life and it does seem to get worse with pregnancy. I've found that Calm (a magnesium powder you mix with water and drink before bed) helps a ton. I haven't been able to stomach it lately because it's very minerally, but normally it's very easy to drink and I definitely notice a difference. There's also a magnesium oil I got that I spray on my legs before bed that seems to help as well. Good luck!

Oh wonderful, thank you so much! Where do I get the calm? I usually only have it during pregnancy but it's never been this bad. I feel like I can feel very individual bone and muscle in my body!

I get it on Amazon :-) http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...-keywords=calm They have a few different flavors and just noticed they also have one with added calcium, which might not be a bad idea during pregnancy.

I'm sorry about your dramatic time crazycat. But, rest assured, I am sure baby will be just fine. I had the flu when I was preggo with DS1 and was flipping out about the fevers that came with it. I had some trouble getting them down at times (thankfully, it was a 48 hour bug), but he was healthy and perfect. I was around 10 weeks, so even less far along as you are. I think fevers are more dangerous the earlier you get them. Since it could affect development. But I'm still sorry you had such an ordeal.
Good luck on Monday Abi! I bet it's smooth sailing and you hear pink. With a girly nub at 13 weeks, I would feel pretty confident it's your girl.

Yes Abi- Calm is awesome PLUS it helps with constipation and digestion issues which I have tons of during pregnancy. My RLS went away after the first trimester- hopefully it will lease up soon for you. Crazycat- you are not alone. Sometimes men just can't grasp what we're going through and have zero idea how nice it is to just simply get help without asking for it. As Abi said, sometimes you just have to voice that nicely and things clear up. I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better though!

Ok great. I really want to try it! Are you sure it's safe for pregnancy? My husband is worried about that. I'm so excited there could be help for it though!

I had my nt scan today. Some relief and some (probably irrational) anxiety from it. Baby has a strong heartbeat and the nt measurement was only 1.6mm which was super relieving for me. The ultrasound tech pointed out the arms, the legs, the forehead, the nose, the hands, etc. we were not detained after the ultrasound, which I took to be a good sign!
Here's the but..... And I know it's crazy talk.... But in the pics she gave me, I can't see the baby's nose, which makes me worry there is no nasal bone. They would have kept us after if it hadn't been detected, right? My Dr will be on holidays when the results come back so I'm not getting results for 2 weeks from now. And would she point out the nose of there was no nasal bone?
I kinda feel like I'm trying to find something to prevent me from enjoying my pregnancy or something. Sigh.
Oh, and the first shot of the nub I saw looked like it was on the rise and stacked, but the next time I saw it, it looked long and flat and no rise at all. So no gender clues.

Maybe it was just the angle? I think some views look "noseless" depending on how the baby is looking. I'm sure they would have said something!

I agree- I think that's an obvious thing that any tech would see right away. Abi- it's really just magnesium and it's totally safe during pregnancy:-)
