Had our 8 week scan yesterday and everything looks good. We told our kids at the appointment by showing them the screen. My five year old came and held my had and looked at the baby and me better than any Christmas gift. He’s thrilled. I felt so much love for my kids without knowing gender of baby. So amazing. This is part of why I don’t find out gender. Still, anxiety is there, especially when five year old said it was a brother. Oh goodness. Still due July 21.
Mlka1104 Thank you so much for the welcome!!
Awesome news Geek mama!! I had my scan yesterday too and brought my 14-year old daughter along since we had an appointment for her earlier. She was so excited! The heartbeat was strong and my little bean was just jumping around in there! It was a beautiful sight to see, esp after 3 miscarriages. We told my 10-year old daughter later that day and she was very excited. They both want another sister of course :rolleyes:
I am 10 weeks today and the nausea is at its worse. I don't vomit still - just have an upset stomach for most of the day and periods of fatigue. I'm still not showing, thank goodness. I'm not ready to tell my boss yet. Or our family - I told the girls we will announce around Christmas - at least by then I'd be close to the end of the first trimester.
Hope everyone is feeling ok. And welcome Jellybean!
That’s actually why I choose to find out. We chose to not find out gender for our first and I didn’t bond with my oldest at all during pregnancy. We found out with our second and I liked that so much more. I bonded with him and I was able to ‘prepare’ for another boy. Obviously everyone feels differently, but finding out gender was much better for us.Quote:

J-ellybean, welcome, and congratulations! Hearing the heartbeat is such a huge relief! I had IVF and we put into blastocysts.
House of blue- so sad to hear that! :( hoping baby a stays healthy and strong!
Nacire & jellybean- congrats!
Geek mama- that’s so cute!! I have been thinking about taking my boys to see a songram but I think I’ll wait till the 12 week one. I wish I could wait to find out the gender but I’m far too impatient.
We had an 8 week ultrasound and baby is measuring perfect with a very strong heartbeat of 190 bpm- is that too much? Doc said it’s perfect but seemed high to me. While I was there the doctor schedule my NIPT test for when I’m 10 weeks! I can’t believe I’ll be finding out the gender so soon! Is anyone doing gender reveal? Any ideas?
190 is just fine! Babies heart rates tend to drop the closer they get to term. Babies are all sympathetic nervous system this early on, so their heart rates tend to be quite high (I’m an OB nurse, haha).Quote:

GeekMama, I’m so happy for you that everything looks good on your skin yesterday! What a huge relief! What a sweet little 5 year old!
MLKA, Congratulations on a great scan to you too! Was that the first time your 14-year-old was aware of the pregnancy? How exciting for your family! Your suptoms sound just like mine
Simplypink, And congratulations on your wonderful scan results as well! Everyone is having a scans this week, lol.
Greydore, I’m an OB nurse too! Yay! Lol
I think I’m going to have gestational diabetes again with this pregnancy. I’m only 9 weeks, but I had a dental apt this morning that took a while, and by the time it was over I’d gone past when I usually eat lunch and I felt really weak and my hands were shaking and my thoughts were a bit fuzzy. I went to the first food place I saw and I ordered a sample platter to share with my little one because I couldn’t concentrate on what to order and figured it’d be a good variety. When I paid, my hands were shaking so bad I was embarrassed. She probably thought I was coming down from
Something or something. Luckily the platter was delicious. I recognize exactly what happened from my past pregnancy though. I was having a hypoglycemic episode. Which means I probably am already having blood sugar issues. I’ll do a one hour fasting glucose test Monday..... I hate the strict diabetic diet, which will be even harder with nausea
And then my partner whose an OB/gyn made me feel awful by warning me that panicle blood sugars can cause miscarriage, not that I wasn’t feeling awful about it already
Well done u on spotting the signs. Hopefully your results on Monday will be really positive.Quote:

What are Panicle blood sugars?
Oops, it’s a typo, I think I was putting Labile, and siri changed it lol
Ellirosanne better to have it checked now than wait! It’s 2 am here and I’m starving, I could definitely go for a food platter right now, lol. So nice to meet another OB nurse!!

Thanks Simplypink :)
Ladies, I have the winter vomiting bug (norovirus) since last night. Vomiting and diarrhoea (sorry tmi) I cannot keep water down and tummy cramps are rotten. Any advice or magic tips for me to survive?
If it’s short lived it’s okay, but if you can’t keep water down for more than 24 hours you may need to get some IV hydration. Sometimes things like popsicles or chewing ice stay down better than plain water..have you tried anything like that? Hopefully this passes for you, but if it doesn’t call your doctor.Quote:

Greydore - that's exactly how I feel. I don't mind having another daughter but I do want to know early to prepare myself. I really want this boy more for hubby and I know he will need time to get used to the idea of having a 3rd daughter. He keeps saying that he's fine as long as the baby is healthy but I know he feels sad when he's around his friends with their sons and he wants that for himself. I'd rather we both know what gender to expect when the time comes.Quote:

And thanks Elliroseanne!! Actually my 14-year old daughter figured it out because I had been so sick. I had been pregnant 4x in the last 3 years so she remembers the symptoms. She asked me the night before my ultrasound if I was pregnant again and she was pretty worried because of my other losses. Now she wants to go to all my appointments to make sure me and baby are ok, which is very sweet of her.
Also - I hope things are ok - glad you caught it early if it is GD.
DreamingRainbow, oh no!!! You poor thing! That’s horrendous!!!! I hate feeling that way! Just keep hydrated! Popsicles? Vitamin water? I hope it passes quickly!
MLKA, keeping mg my fingers crossed for a healthy baby boy for you! Your 14 year old sounds so sweet!
Elirosane- hope your test results come back normal. I always shake when I don’t eat. With my last pregnancy I would definitely get the shakes if I didn’t eat every couple hours. I was so scared I would have it again with my second but I ended up not having it again. Hoping to hear good news for you.
Mlka- I am also very nervous! Honestly, I’m so scared, I almost want to delay it a little :/ I didn’t ask how long it took to get the results but a few of my friends said it took them about a week.

We did a sneak peak at work today and both babies were wiggling around in there! We were only able to get a somewhat recognizable as human baby (I think) shot, lol, and one where you can kind of see both babies at once if you can see through the blur... it was an abd usAttachment 38421Attachment 38422
Ellirosanne that is so exciting!!! I want to try the ultrasound machine so bad, but I know it won’t show anything since I’m only 6 weeks...I need some patience, lol
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
Ellirosanne love the pics ! How may weeks are u?
Well I survived the bug. Feel weak and tired but at least the sickness has stopped. I'm trying to rehydrate as quickly as I can as I'm worried this has damaged baby somehow. I have a scan next week. Nervous and excited!
I’ll be joining this group. Due around August 18, but my doctor will give me my official due date when I have my first ultrasound in a couple weeks.
Bunnygirl I seen your username and think I recognise it? Did you have twins last year in the Sep/Oct/Nov group? Part of twointows due date group?

DreamingRainbow, I’m ten weeks today :) oh my gosh, I’m so glad your over the virus! Get lots of rest and fluids, and those little babies are so well protected, we go without so they can have the best of our bodies resources. I know how you feel though, I was scared too when I was sick. Best of luck with your scan next week! I can’t wait to read your update from it!
BunnyGirl, welcome and congratulations!!!
Yep, I had my twins early in July 2016. :)Quote:
