That doesn't sound good! Maybe you should go get spchecked out I think it's better to be safe than sorry...they must be pretty painful to have you in bed... Have you tryed to drink a bottle of water to see if that helps... It usually helped my crampingQuote:

Ya if the pain is still there tomorrow this intense then please get seen...no blood is good... I'm sure it's just the uterus it's prob coming over the pubic bone now so hopefully just some stretching pains... Try not to worry too much easier said then done but you don't need the stress
I understand how you feel. I will be 14+2 when I have my first OB visit and u/s! It's only because of a huge insurance snafu (long story that I won't bore anyone with). I know it's hard to wait for that reassurance of seeing the baby but I'm sure everything is fine. My first tri symptoms always began to fade around 9-11 weeks with my others. This one is the only one that has lasted into my 2nd tri.Quote:

We have discussed it some but haven't decided just yet. DH says he will consider getting the snip but I'm also willing to look at other options too (don't want a tubal though). It's been so long since I've used any kind of BC that I don't even know what's out there lol.Quote:

Although don't worry too much. AF cramps are pretty common as far as I know. The uterus is growing and the feeling of that is just like AF cramps.
Hope you will be feeling better soon!
When does that make it hun about 22nd? Oh v jealous had an extra scan on Friday due to cramping and she measured them as 13+6! So over a week ahead! Can't move my scan thou as dh off to India for work and he wants to come!Quote:

After 5hrs saw regular a&e dr who could only check my back and said obstetrician wouldn't see me till 20 weeks. Had a bit of an emotional moment and she booked me for a scan on Friday am both bubbas okay! Phew!
Guess I'm saying peace of mind is worth a lot even thou drs can't do much at this stage xxx
Wanting a girl assure big v is the snip, sending dh the minute these two are born or possibly sooner
Northern in that v unlikely situation they can reverse it ;-)
I was never a 4 child person whoops! Certainly not risking a fifth!
Hey guys
Honestly wouldn't worry too much re not seeing baby till 12 weeks or not seeing an obstetrician yet, here we only have scan at 12 weeks, no blood work at all and don't see obstetricians at all so sure you'll be okay
I'm seeing an obstetrician for first time ever at 18 weeks as its twins ;-s
Happy Mother's Day everyone hope your families spoil you xxx
So excited the tech I saw I on Friday said she though they were identical! And the only viewable nub at 12+6 was girly - agh trying not to get too excited LOL!
Cause makes two boys more likely ;-s
Yep, it's on the 21st! 11 days left :nails:Quote:

Thorz make sure you rest! I have had pretty much no morning sickness with this baby and I admit it was a relief to have a quick scan with my ob. Before that I was wondering whether the whole pregnancy was even real or not...
Fish - there's something so special about identical twins.
Northern, my nuchal is on the 21st as well although is Aussie so before yours. I hope my baby looks healthy and your baby is a girl! I'd also be happy with a really boyish nub but I'll go for healthy first.
DH and I have talked about the big V after this baby and he's keen. Prior to that we'd had a hormonal IUD which I didn't love but was OK but he could feel the string (sorry if TMI) and overall I think it's his turn to be in charge of contraception. I had a C-section after two normal deliveries for DD3 (she was breech) and although I'm aiming for another normal delivery if I end up having another section I'll get a tubal ligation at the same time.
Four is enough for us. We were always going to stop at 3, the problem is that having DD3 four years after DD2 seemed a bit unfair once she was here. My big girls are only 19 months apart and are best friends. There'll be about the same age gap between this baby and DD3 so she can have a childhood friend as well.
I'm better, thanks ladies, still a bit cramps but there is still no bleeding so I'm just taking it easy today! I'm quite exhausted so im gonna take a nap when the DS3 goes down for his nap. I'm starting to think the cramping may have been caused by over doing it yesterday, I was framing out an entry way in my Living room/dining room, so I was cutting a bunch of stuff with a saw and moving a big air compressor and dealing with a nail gun! I was getting so stressed because it wasn't going as well as the last one, when I finally decided to take a break, I crashed and slept for 2 hours! When I woke up I was super crampy. Now that I've been continually resting and drinking a lot of water, it's slowly getting better. I guess no more big projects on my own lol!
Hey northern had some cramping after lifting my little monkey but all okay phew
Oh my gosh that's so soon fx they get a good view! Agh are you gonna take your boys? We're gonna have to but think I might ask tech to use words they won't understand! Oldest only just three so think we can get away with it!
Yes, we're taking the boys but I've designed a card that the sonographer can fill in, so they won't actually say what baby is. They'll do all of the potty shots without putting the viewing screen on, then we'll have the 4d part avoiding the potty area.
Then we're going out for dinner at the restaurant where OH and I had first date, and where I went into labour with DS2. Thats where we'll open the card! I'm hoping it'll bring good luck in some way!
That's the plan anyway! No doubt it'll go wrong in some way!
Ha ha I love the fact you have designed a card you might be nearly as obsessive as me ;-)
I thought about that but if they say girl I think I will need to see the evidence for myself to believe it! Lol plus don't think ours is 4d so hoping it won't be easy for oldest to guess!
I like designing things, and we'll be giving the card to the inlaws too.Quote:

No doubt they'll arrive after the scan tells us its a boy and I'll cry my eyes out, but I'm trying desperately to cling to some hope.
Thorz great to hear you are feeling better :) geez that sounds like a big job for you to take on, especially on your own! DH doesn't let me use his power tools unless he is there to supervise lol.
Northern that sounds like a wonderful way to find out, you are so creative :)
Well ladies I have my NT scan today at 4.30 so 8 hrs till I may have a good idea what this little bean is, the nerves have started already!
Oh northern they are so cute if I had a niece I'd do the same! Fx
Mum2boys how exciting how far along are you 12 weeks? Will be stalking for pictures tomorrow ;-)
Lol most the power tools in this house are mine! DH isn't much of a handy man, his job kinda prevents it! I think I should have been a carpenter in a previous life or something! Lol I love building things and doing home improvement stuff!Quote:

Thanks Fish :) I'm 12+5 today so hoping it will be obvious enough (hopefully very flat).
Congrats on your twins I'm thinking you have two little girls in there especially if they are identical, identical twins are very special DH is actually an identical twin :)
Those are so precious! You are braver than I am that's for sure!Quote:

Mom2boys can't wait to see your nub! So exciting
Mum2boys how did it go?
Sorry ladies my parents came over for dinner so haven't had a chance to get on the computer... Will upload picks first thing in the morning.
My tech was awful I couldn't even see the screen besides when I arched my neck right back, then he would tell me not to move! I asked him about a nub shot and he said he didn't know what I was talking about... But I found one anyway (not that I'm happy about it now :( I'm almost certain its another boy!) he put a potty shot in cause that's what he thought I meant... It's very flat but useless at 13 weeks right?
Anyway sorry for the long post, will be back on in the morning xx
Waiting anxiously mom2boys! Sorry about the tech! Mean techs make me so mad, they have to know how important this is to us!
Post the nub shot anyway! I'm sure we'll be able to find a loophole even if it does look boyish (lol).
I would LOVE a boyish nub shot.
Nub or no nub, they are still fun to see!
I want to see! My tech was a douch too! Sorry :( we wait so long to see our babies for a few minutes and having an asshole makes it a bad experience :(
Girls -- my elective scan is on Thursday at 11am!!!! Every hour seems like an eternity now. I would love more guesses but I feel foolish bumping my thread when some people seemed very adamant about it being a boy. Even though I still see some very girly moments in that video.
I've been trying to distract myself with house projects. Thorz--that's mighty impressive. No wonder you felt crampy afterwards. I can understand your worries. I was way more paranoid this time around simply because part of me thinks that after two healthy boys, something is *bound to go wrong.* But it's not healthy to think that way. Could you guys possibly invest in a doppler? I have the sonoline b that I got from amazon when I was pregnant for the very first time and I have been able to hear all three babies' heartbeats starting around 9 weeks 3 days. So reassuring!
Thursday! Yay I can't wait! And it's a morning appt :D
So I'm addicted to fish baby clothes and fish veering I have. Fish tattoed to me and all lol so I came accross this and am buying it for my babe today :D

That's such a good idea, we really cannot afford a new fetal monitor, but I can look on Craigslist, or eBay and hopefully find one for under $50 that would really help ease my worries if I can listen to the heartbeat on my own.Quote:
