There's something about sour things while preggo. I wonder if its because of nausea and/or aversions?
I just finished my first ultrasound. She tried to do it externally at first but didn't see anything. My heart sank even though I knew it was too early for that. She did it internally and saw a sac, a baby and a heartbeat. The heart rate was 105 which she said was normal considering it was so early. She pushed my date back one week which I was prepared for considering I did not ovulate until cycle day 19. I am now 6w1d with a due date of November 1st! I think I feel a little relief right now.

Wonderful news Roe!!
I can't believe my ms has already kicked in. So not fair. The only time I did not have ms till 6w was ironically my triplet pregnancy. But man oh man the nausea and dizziness is kicking my butt this morning. Does not help that the baby kept me up 3 times to nurse last night. I have to get this kid weaned soon!!!! I am going on a trip in May with just me and DH and Grandma and Grandpa are coming out to watch the kids. It will be a LONG week for everyone if he does not wean before then.
Congrats Roe delighted all is OK, fingers crossed for a healthy pregnancy xx

So glad to hear the good news, Roe :)
I just came back from my first appointment with my OB. She was only able to detect one heartbeat at 162 bpm. She took awhile to find the baby, because the baby was still one the far most left side of my uterus. Apparently the baby likes to be there [emoji4]. I am relieved to know that there is most likely only one, healthy baby!

Yay XX! I'm glad you're feeling some relief and that baby is looking great!

It's been a little while since I checked in. How is everyone doing?! I have my first appointment and hopefully ultrasound next week. I cannot wait to see baby. I feel like things are a whole lot harder to enjoy once you've had a mc. Hoping all of my symptoms are good signs of a healthy baby, and any bad dreams with blood is just that. Bad dreams due to fear. Eek next week can't come soon enough!!
I posted this in the ultrasounds thread but haven't heard anything so I thought I'd ask you ladies too...this is my ultrasound from today 6 weeks, transvaginal. Wanted your Ramzi theory guesses for fun. I'm clueless about this and have never even heard of it until I got on this site!

It looks like the placenta is on the right, so I think that's supposed to be girly? I don't give Ramzi theory much stock though.
Placenta is on the right, which is boy according to Ramzi. Two of my boys should have been girls according to this theory. It's bunk. I put much more stock into the nub theory, because it is far more accurate provided you have a decent tech capable of capturing good images at the appropriate gestation (greater than 12 weeks. 12w6d-13w6d optimal).

Thanks ladies. Can you tell me what you're looking at that is the placenta? Also, do you flip flop things for transvaginal vs external?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
External you flip flop. Vaginal is correct. Although you have to ask the tech, because they can switch the image on their screen and thus your print out. For instance, mine looked like it was on the right on the screen but the tech said she flipped the image because that is what she is used to/prefers.

The placenta is on the bottom right of the baby.

You can always ask them which side the placenta is on. My experience, techs like it when the patient seems engaged.

Ah yes, I forgot you gave birth after me, I had a September baby, you had a November baby. 22 months, that is really sporty of you! My last two were 29 months apart and oh boy, these past years have been rough! Hopefully you won't have a reflux baby though, like I did, and potty training a toddler at the same time, LOL. I forgot how old your oldest two are. I had 4 kids in 8 years time, and you?Quote:

Claire33-So far, we've been lucky and haven't had any reflux or potty training issues. Hopefully this continues! My DS3 is starting to show interest in the boys going potty. I'm thinking he might be ready to casually start when he turns two in November. I will have 4 kids over 7 years time. My oldest will be 7yrs, my DS2 4yrs, and my DS3 around 22mo when baby #4 arrives! I will have turned 38 and wanted to be done- luckily it worked out!

My first two are 21 months apart. It worked out quite nicely but I don't think I could handle two under two plus other kids!
I'm suddenly dreading telling anyone. I had planned to tell some friends right away, and I haven't. I absolutely dread telling my parents. They weren't thrilled about either baby. The only reason I'm putting off telling everyone in a few weeks is that way I can put off telling my parents.
Why the dread fox?

I know the feeling fox. I am seriously dreading telling anyone we are going to have #5! I have told one person, a really close friend that just mc her #5. She is so happy for us it is helping.
I can totally relate Fox. I was nervous about telling my FIL, but I was surprised that he was very happy for us. However all my Aunts on my Mom's side of the family could talk about was how old I'll be when the baby is born. They had their kids really young- I'm talking done having 3-4 kids by the time they were 22-24. I'll be 38 when the baby is born, which to me is not old at all! I know some of my DH's extended family will be jackasses- I come to expect that, haha! If you're worried about it, I would tell them in an impersonal way so you will be spared from the brunt of their reaction. I had my grandma tell my Aunts for me and she relayed a watered down version of their reaction I'm sure!

Isn't it awful that ppls behave in such way though ?
My in laws were the same I was shocked they weren't happy it honestly makes no difference to their life at all so I was shocked they couldn't even pretend to be happy for us !
My family are all pleased - some were shocked but again it's my family and our business!
I was really sick this morning I came downstairs and smelt last nights chicken!!! I ran straight to the bathroom and Hubby had to get rid of asap! Feeling ok this afternoon though- hope everyone's ok today!
It's a gorgeous sunny day today in England and the weathers really helping my mood x

XX - you are not that old at all! I just turned 41! :) My family was mostly together for my Grandmother's funeral when my youngest was 4m. I got so many comments about "so you are done having kids, right?" ...Ummm, I have a 4mo. I have no idea. Life is crazy. So I know that there will be comments. I don't even want to tell my mother, and she and I are really close. I just dread the comments. But I will have to tell at least by May because she is coming out to watch our kids. ;) I think she would notice I was 15w along as this is my 6th baby. :suprise:
To be honest, my mom isn't a baby person and made a huge effort to talk down childbearing when I was a kid. Pregnancy announcements, especially for young people or people with multiple children already, were often met with private comments like "eww, gross" or "why would she do that to herself?". She had me young and I think regretted it. Of course, all I ever wanted was to be a mom, and I had my boys in my early 20's.
Our last pregnancy announcement was met with "so is it time to get rid of some of those animals?" (3. We have a grand total of 3 pets.)
Hi girls-
I am scared to of telling people we are having a fourth. First it was a total ooops, and I don't want to hear all the ignorant comments like "well you know how that happens comments...". Yes, dip shits... I know where babies come from.
The other I'm just embarrassed, I will be 39 when this baby is born and already have my hands full raising three boys 6, 4 & 15 months. It's a bit overwhelming.
I had my first sonogram this morning, it was very emotional. I was never weepy with the others, maybe it's because this is a complete surprise.

There is the nugget, 6w3d, strong heartbeat of 125(which sounds low to me, but the tech assured that was great for 6 weeks). Official due date of October 30, 2017. My little spook[emoji317].

Happy that your scan went well tarasue! The first scans so reassuring I was 6+2 at mine and the heartbeat was really slow but he said it was normal and will get faster in the next few weeks - happy and healthy 9 months to u xx

Well I hate that your families aren't all fully supportive. As long as your independently raising your children I don't see why they should even be bothered, much less openly saying such hurtful comments. [emoji849]
The nausea is mild today, not to get to excited. But hoping it eases up soon!

I know it's kinda crazy. We are about the same age and so are all our boys, lol!Quote:

16dpo - 198
So almost double. They wanted another draw today or tomorrow morning (because of the weekend), but I am getting another one done tomorrow evening to keep it at 48 hours. I am scheduling and u/s for the 20th. That puts me at 6w and we should have a good answer by that point. Of course I am advised that if I get any pelvic pain I am to head straight to the ER. This limbo is horrible, but I will be happy if this ends up viable.
Good call on waiting until 48 hours for another blood draw. I'm [emoji1317] that this all works out!
