Thanks ladies, can't come soon enough. I have 2 referals for a 12 week scan and was thinking of being naughty and doing both. One was from the hospital (which I have not used this one) and the other from my dr (I have used this one for march 16.)
Do you think medicare would find out if I used both and would they end up charging me? I get bulk billed... LOL I would love to try and go this week only be 11 weeks but oh well heheheh
I did the same thing with my youngest daughter 5...but I had 3 hehehe. Used them all....I am naughty. Medicare never noticed!
mine was a missed MC too, baby died at 11 weeks (well, measured 11 weeks) but I didn;t know until my scan at 12+4Quote:

TTC5, I don't think Medicare would notice. After all, some women do end up requiring many ultrasounds, or ultrasounds close together. The fact that a doctor has requested each one should be enough for them. All the very best for your scan.
TTC5, get both u/s!
5, I would have both scans too :)
2 more days until my scan, can't wait!
I'm sorry :( Let us know how the ultrasound goes today.Quote:

My first appointment is in 3 days so really looking forward to it. My pregnancy dreams are taking a crazy turn - last night I dreamt Barack Obama and Michelle were aliens and they said an alien invasion was coming! :rofl:
Now I've started having vivid dreams. Last night I had two separate birth dreams. Sadly, neither dream was finished so I never found out the gender. The first one was a pretty standard labour dream. The second was weirder. I was in the hospital getting ready to deliver TWINS. I was sharing a hospital room with my best friend from childhood (who lives 2500 miles away), who was there for some reason with my boyfriend from university (no clue if he was the father?). During the whole process, I was flirting like mad with my old boyfriend, who I must say I haven't seen in at least 10 years and have NO interest in. In my dream he had a cheesy mustache for some odd reason, which I find terribly unattractive, but was swooning over in my dream :rofl:. My DH wasn't in the dream at all.
Sorry yahmama I hope everything is ok.
Bummed about not getting a scan so I spent the weekend cleaning. I can't wait for the scan on thur because I want to know about twins. When I checked the HB today it sounds like one is getting slower about 110 so I am a little sad. I will have to pay for a 12wk scan because my insurance will only cover an 8wk and 20wk scan now, unless there is a reason to do more. But there is a new scanning place that also does 4d they have packages from $65-$120 and if I want several scans later in preg they take $50 off each visit.
Last night I wanted ice cream, which I never want while preg, and DH came back with ice cream for himself and cookies I can't eat (peanut allergy). I did get the ice cream I wanted but some cookies would have been nice too. I think I will feed the cookies to the boys!
Glad I'm not the only one dreaming about other men that I have no interest in!!
Today's my 12 week appt in the late afternoon, and we also had some snow this morning. None stuck to road, thankfully, the roads are all wet, and there is still snow on the grass tho, and when DS1 woke up today he said "I love snow! It's Christmas!!!!!" lol
Auroara-- how was your scan?
Hi everyone. Hoping to be able to join you soon!
THis made me laugh!! I love the mustache part!Quote:

Finally, he had to do something not very fun (I won't eloborate, ya'll can put 2 and 2 together), to get my uterus up in a better position and then I finally got to hear the heartbeat!!! It was 167 beats a minute, so it was real strong, etc. And he said my fundus was the appropriate for 12 weeks.
It seems that my fat pooch from DS2 was making it very hard to hear the new baby. He didn't say it that way, he was very gracious when he said "your previous preganices are making it hard to get to the new baby."
Still would have loved to have a scan and nub obsess, but I'll guess I'll just have to make due with Mocha's coming up! By the way, I don't know if i ever told you this or not, Mocha, but i truly really feel you got a girl in there. I can't wait to start guessing tomorrow....are you going to post the pics to the ultrasound forum?
:HH: Glad you got to hear the heartbeat!! Yay..Believe it or not, I didn't even have the nub in mind when I asked, I was thinking of how you and baby where doing!! But now that you mention it, looking forward to obsessing over Mocha's tomorrow!!
I'll definitely post a picture. I'm clueless about nubs, so even if I don't see anything obvious I'm scared as soon as I post it everyone will say BOY. My scan's at 10am EST, so I'll probably be able to post a pic late morning at some point.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, auroara. I keep going back and forth and sometimes I think there's just no way it's a girl. A woman I know irl just announced she's having her 4th boy, and somehow it made me feel like there's no way I'll get lucky and have a girl either.
good luck for tomorrow, Mocha!
Thanks, rainbow! :nails:Quote:

Mocha, Good luck with your scan.. !!!
I had a dream like that once... but DH was walking around the house naked and there was about 30 naked women and he was taking turns with each one. I was the only one not naked and I was about 9mth preg. I told him about the dream and he wanted me to describe them all for him..... Men! but it did make me feel better to talk to him about the dream.Quote:

I felt the same for a long time... we got preg 6mths after we met so I feared loosing him. But after awhile my views on that changed.
I dont think he feels that way its just me.. He is a very loving husband and gives me compliments all the time , Its just me with my negative brain! Esp now I am preg I am over thinking things and thats why I am dreaming about it, I am probably not actually thinking it so much but its coming out in my dreams if that makes sense? You know in my dream When i saw him with this girl they were both laying naked on the couch and i walked in and it was as if he thought it was ok and i shouldnt have a prob with it... I can remember I left with my ds and there was another child i would say a baby but couldnt see it but i knew it was there.. Real strange
Wow, some of you are having crazy dreams! I've been dreaming about the most random things as well. Crazy pregnancy hormones.
Mocha, good luck with the scan :)
Well I had my u/s today. I have one little bubba on board! My heart was pounding while I was sitting there waiting. And then I saw it on the screen and couldn't stop smiling. I didn't get a heartrate but I saw the little heart flickering away. So nice! I have my first ob appointment in two weeks so will have another scan then!
Congrats on a good scan, Bec!
:wave: ladies,
Can i join you??? I got my BFP about 6 days ago and they have gotten darker very quickly and i have no had :noaf: so i think it is safe to say i am pregnant :running:
I am booked in with my doctor next Monday and she will then refer me to the midwife team for my 1st appointment, i am already worried about that appointment as they take bloods and i am not good at giving blood, they just use me as a pin cushion and can never get it :(
I am getting nauseous at times but ok after i have eaten, also got a sore left boob and also peeing more but other than that i feel good!
Think im due around 13th November but not 100% i calculated correct as not sure if to use 1st day of cycle or ov??
Welcome, HappyLea! I usually use my O date to calculate my due date, but it causes a lot of confusion with my midwives since they use LMP and always insist on keeping the date they get. It usually makes only a day or two difference with me, but it still gets annoying that they keep telling me my due date is different than I think it is, and I'm stubborn so I won't change it :bigsmile:.
Thanks Mocha, i did get confused as i would think it would be from O but i know my dr calculates from CD1. So my CD1 was 4th Feb and i think i Ov'd on CD18 which was the 21st Feb. I normally have a 13 day luteal phase.
So Mocha what would you say my due date would be?
I'd definitely go by your O date since you ovulated late - the LMP due date is based on a typical CD14 ovulation. I used this site:
Due date calculator - When is my due date?
And it looks like it might be November 14th! It's really all arbitrary, anyway since we know babies come when they're ready...;)
I go by OV day tooQuote:

My scan's in 2 hours and I'm getting nervous. Not about the scan so much, but about all the testing in general. I'm having the first round of blood tests today for the triple screening, and the more I read about it the more I worry about getting a false positive because of my age (37), or far worse, a true positive. I'm even more stressed because I have to wait until after they take the second round of blood at 15 weeks to get the results.
It's weird, because I've always had these tests and never worried about them before. I usually wait until my 12 week scan then announce to the world in general I'm pregnant, but now I'm scared to until I get the results from the second blood test in 3-4 weeks. I'm scared of the prospect of having to get an amnio and genetic counselling, and potentially having to make a really tough decision about the baby if it tests positive after all that.
I'm going to try to focus on the positive part of today - I get to see my baby - and lay the stresses aside for the moment. Maybe once I have a picture to nubsess over I won't dwell on this other stuff so much.
Exactly. And it could potentially make a difference in my case, too. This will be my second VBAC, and my midwives won't let me go much overdue because of that. They also won't induce with a VBAC, so if baby takes his or her time coming, it might mean another c-section for me!Quote:

I have had no issues with my 2 older boys but i went into labour at 35weeks with DS3 and delivered him at 36weeks, I just hope i dont have another premature baby. He was ok but horrid labour.
GoodLuck for your scan today Mocha, oh cant wait to see scan pic. Dont worry and enjoy every moment, easier said then done. This will be baby #4 for me and i think we are so lucky to have 3 beautiful boys are we tempting fate with a fourth iykwim?
That's exactly what's going through my head since I'm in the same situation.Quote:
