I am finally here... Due 10-17!
:D woohoo! I'm not the newest anymore lol :)
quite a few of us due around the same time then!
So excited you're joining us Purple Poet!
I got my 8 week confirmation scan today and I'm really nervous. Because of my lack of nausea (well not completely, but...) for the last few days I got worried that maybe something happened to the baby. Plus I got this wicked cold/sinus thing and my appetite is completely dead, and I had to force myself to eat anything for the last two days because of the baby.
I told my husband last night that I was worried we'd go to the scan today and see the baby had passed and he got really ticked off! He said, "why would you say such a terrible thing?" Well, I told it that wasn't obviously waht I wanted to see, I just wanted to tell him about some of my fears.
Then, the other side of me is afraid I'll see twins today....
I know deep in my heart I will just see one baby, with a hearbeat, and everything will be OK. I don't know why I got to do this to myself.
good luck for your scan... it's completely normal to worry, but for most those fears don't come true. Show us a piccy when you get back!
Will happily show a pix!
Oh and off topic, but I have really been wanting some loving for the past week and my DH keeps putting me off. Then, I get into my computer this morning to read the news while I eat breakfast and I see he was viewing a porn site on my computer! UGH! I could smack him! He should have used his own computer, and not mine...eeek....I got a feeling he's going to do his sexual freeze out again, though he claims he has no problem having sex when I'm pregnant, he really does, and he doesn't like to admit it, hehe.
Woo, we are due date buddies!Quote:

auroara - I have all the same feelings you do about your scan - both worrying about not seeing a HB and about seeing twins. Hopefully we'll both get nothing but good news!
laughinglynxie... With both my boys I had a friend who was due the same day and they where delivered on that day and both mine came 4 days later. I want this one to come 1wk early - on time :)
Mocha... It is nice to finally be here.
Go YEAR OF THE DRAGON babies!
Yeah that's right...year of the dragon babies, very lucky!
Welcome to all the new ladies joining us! really happy to see more of us here! I hope 2012 is lucky for all of us too! no change my side, same old symptoms heartburn, 24/7 sickness no appetite and burping! on the positive side 3 days to go until my first antenatal appointment. :) hope everyone is fine and well xx
my maiden name translated to "dragon" - I love the thought of having a little dragon baby :)
Welcome to the newbies!! October bubs already!!
I have my dating scan today hopefully we can pick up a hb!
All of you due 10/17 might get lucky and have 10/11/12 babies!! I was hoping for that, but no way will I go a week overdue. All my kids have been born early.
I am not into the whole 10/10/10, 11/11/11, or 10/11/12 thing... so many people pick wedding dates like that. I would much rather wake up one morning and run to a Vegas Chapel and call it a day.
I like my kids to be born on any day after it is safe to deliver. I try to avoid the 13th if it would have come close to that and politcal or governement type Holidays, just because I hate those days anyways. With DS1 he was due 3/8 but I was only 2cm that day so we went to induce the 11th... I didn't want him born on the 13th or 15th of March because my parents were married on the 13th and mothers birthday is the 15th. DS1 was born on the anniversy of my MIL's father's passing, so he made it a great day. DS2 was born on my cousin's birthday, she was born in 1966 and passed 26mths later of cancer. I am really worried that #3 will be born on 10/8 the day my grandpa (father figure/role model/best friend) passed away, I still a lot that day.
PP I know what you mean about dates. I am worried I will have this one of Sept 3rd (my sisters birthday who passed away in my arms in '07)..
Briefly crashing this thread to say Auroara, I'm hoping all went well and I'm thinking of you!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
:celebrate: Also, YAY for all you new BFPers!!! :HH:
:wave: to everyone else...
My DS1 came 3 days before due date (11/16), so he was born on Friday 13th. :D Then this year we closed on our house on Friday 13th as well. It would crack me up if I did have a baby born on 10/11/12. It would make it easier to remember, good for my ADHD brain. :D
Jen - I think I speak for all of us when I say I can't wait until you join us here! :HH:Quote:

Bub measured exactly 8 week 1 day yesterday, confirming that I did indeed concieve on Christmas Day, Dec. 25th :)
The heart beat was 162 beats a minute. So nice & strong.
She said I o'ed from the right ovary, although I had felt pains and tugging from my left side, so that was a bit of a shocker, as I had really assumed with all that pain that I must've have o'ed from left. I was at first very worried that right ovary = boy, but now I'm starting to really doubt the whole ovary = gender thing, and I'm going to do ton of research today to try to disprove it, or just have more insight on why that idea is even out there!
I am trying to keep my heart open and hopeful for girl, but when I saw the baby, I was so relieved everything was healthy and good, but it just reminded me that a boy is definitely possible....
TTC5 I understand your feelings for the 9/3...
Being an older sister of 2 (and 1 step) it would kill me to see something happen to them. Crying just thinking about it.
I hadn't seen my grandpa since I was 9 but we wrote and called 1-2x's a week and tacted like teen girls. My grandpa died 2wks after my 19th birthday but for 3 years I had the dream about him dying. He knew I had dreams but never wanted to hear it. It was like I was there watching him go but I could touch him or talk to him.
The worst feeling in the world is watching someone you love so much pass away.
Have you had the scan yet?!?!? :HH:Quote:

I like them but I have never eaten so many. I have also been wating chinese food since yesterday so bad that thinking of dinner last night gave me heartburn but thoughts of chinese food made me hungry.
I mentioned it in the "TTC in Feb" thread but I'll say it again...YAYAYAYAY for healthy babies!!! I'm so glad your bean is perfect! :HH: I know I'd be obsessing if I was preg too (b/c I was a crazy woman last pregnancy :oops:) but just try to relax and give that bean all the love you can and try not to think too much about Ramzi stuff. S/he is so lucky to have a Mama so loving...:LotsofLove:Quote:

Just popping on to say yay to Auroara and to check up on Mocha - but I must be too early for that! I should probably be feeding my children anyway :D
Congratulations on a healthy baby Auroara :D I agree that you can conceive a boy and a girl from either ovary!
I'll check back later for news of Mocha's scan!
Thanks for dropping by, Z - my scan's in just over half an hour, so I'm sure I'll be able to update by 2:30 my time - which is I think 7:30 your time - at the latest - hopefully before then if they take me on time and it's a quick appt.
Hope your appointment goes well, Mocha!
GL Mocha!!
Had my scan up date and pics in Preg board let me get the link!
Hey ladies - I'm back from my scan. Everything looks good. The tech was silent for the first 10 minutes of the appt, and I was scared to death to ask if there was a heartbeat, but at the end of the scan she let me see it. What a beautiful sight! I have no idea what the baby measured since here in Canada they don't tell you much at the scan - their policy is no medical information. That info will be sent to my midwife, and I'm hoping she'll call me in a couple of days to let me know. I asked about the placenta, but apparently placenta position is medical information too so she couldn't tell me. She did show me on the screen where my placenta was, and with a transvaginal ultrasound it was just right of centre on the top of the screen. I have no idea what, if anything, that means. Anyway, I am sooooooo relieved to have seen a heartbeat! Now I have to wait until my 12 week u/s and I can start to nubsess....
They don't tell you anything.... The techs here are talky talky the whole time.
Happy you had a good scan and I look forward to the nub!
Glad everything went well, Mocha! :)
I WISH they were like that here, PP - they're always so tight-lipped here, and you only get to see the screen for the last 2 minutes of the appt!
Anyway, here are some pics. The quality isn't great because I just took a picture of the scan rather than trying to fire up my ancient scanner.

Awww, look at that precious little baby! :)
I like to watch when they measure everything and listen to them say how perfect each measurement is...
You got some nice pictures there!
The only time I got to experience a scan like that was when I was pregnant with my twins. Because I had to have a scan every week, I had it in a tiny clinic just down the hall from my OB rather than the official hospital u/s clinic. It was the best clinic - they had two monitors - one facing the tech and one facing me! I got to watch the whole thing, and dh was able to stay for the whole thing too rather than just the last 2 minutes. I miss those days...I get angry that they don't at least let us watch even if they can't give us information - it's MY body after all!
Yeah, at my scan they had a mointor pointed my way and I loved watching the scan...though it wasn't very long, it was nice to see everything...
I can't believe they don't try to reassure you first that everything looks good.
The tech didn't give you a due date or anything? Mine got updated to Sept. 16th to reflect my Dec. 25th conception. If you concieved on Dec. 24th, then you should be due Sept. 15th?
They should give my midwife the due date info, and she'll probably call me. Right now I'm assuming it's Sept 15th based on both LMP and O day.
Oh, Mocha...such beautiful pics!!! I'm tearing up...I'm so happy for you! :HH:
