Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[dreamingpink77]

Ok ok really starting to get a little freaked out about next week now. Been looking on YouTube and I'm very good at nub guessing video's. I don't want to know yet!! I want to be in total boy denial over Christmas! What am I going to do?? I can't cancel scan because the NT scan in my opinion is important. And I can't not look at the scan, I want to see my baby. I wish I never ever ever learnt the nub theory, it ruined my pregnancy with DS3 as well as I knew straight away he was a boy. grrrrrrrr

I'm stressing myself out. Need some chocolate NOW

Sorry you're freaked out sweetie, it's understandable. I was also trying to figure out something during my last scan but honestly I couldn't see any nub and the monitor was a little far away from me. Gynae had a monitor facing himself, which I couldn't see but then he had another one showing same things of course, hanging down from the ceiling so it should be more comfortable for us mums to see but it was a little far and couldn't take a close look. I;m so obsessing about the sex of this little one too and feel so moody. Sometimes I just burst out in tears when I thing it's a boy, sometimes I smile, boq....go figure out!

Does anyone else have a rash? I started getting red, raised bumps all over my chest, stomach, and back on Friday and they are still there. I saw my OB yesterday because I was worried something was going on that could be hurting the baby, but she wasn't sure what causing it. She thinks I may be reacting to a food I ate or medication I took last week when I was sick (I only took Tylenol and Sudefed). I had bloodwork done to rule out a few other possibilities. It isn't painful or itchy, so it's not really a problem, but it freaks me out a bit. Any ideas?

Sorry jennaesue, no idea. Although hubby had the same thing last summer and we went to doctor and she couldn't figure out what it was though she completely excluded certain serious deseases. The rash got away without any medication within a few days and we still don't know what it was. Hope it goes soon sweet, but I think if it was something serious, dr would have realised immediately.

Yes, this has already been the most difficult pregnancy I've had. Well, I should say that I've been blessed with not really any complications so far (besides one day of very light spotting, and the ruptured cyst on my ovary), and the babies have been growing great and seem to be healthy. BUT, the symptoms this time around are horrible. The morning sickness started right away, even before my BFP, and has been really bad. The fatigue has been much more intense than with my other pregnancies, too. But the worst part has been the headaches. I've been getting them every.single.day. for weeks now - they start in the late afternoon/early evening and go until bedtime. It's hard to get to sleep. Some have been splitting headaches, some have been throbbing headaches, and some have been full blown migraines. That fact that I get them EVERY day is making me crazy. I feel like I just can't function. I really hope some of these symptoms let up soon. I know that pregnancy is such a short period of time in the grand scheme of things, and I'm so glad the babies are doing well (which makes it all worth it), but at least *a little bit* of relief would be nice.

Sorry for the big, whiny, complaining post.

So sorry you're having such a hard time. Are you taking any medicine for your headaches? It must be aweful having them every single day Hopefully they'll subside in the second trimester, we're almost there now sweetpea, second trimester next Sunday for us both, yay! Hopefully we'll also get more energy back!

I feel horrible too. I went to my first appt yesterday and was only supposed to meet with the nurse but I have been extremely short of breath even when resting and my breathing was irregular i had to see th OB. He sent me for a CT scan because they were worried about blood clots. Apparently you cannot have a CT scan when you are preg because of the contrast they use so the did another scan and would not let me leave until the OB had the results. It was a horrible emotional day. I ended up being there for almost 4 hours. They finally told me that everything looked ok but by then I was already a wreck. I go to see my regular OB on the 11th so hopefully I will know more by then. To top the whole thing off I was there alone because DH had to work and we haven't told anyone yet.

I take Tylenol once in awhile (the only medicine my doctor approves during pregnancy), but it doesn't seem to help much, if at all, so I usually just suffer through them.

Atsaukina did post an interesting link above with lots of info about headaches during pregnancy (thank you, Atsaukina!), and while I still don't really know why they're happening so much, the article *did* give me some good ideas on how to help relieve some of the pain. I'm going to try some of those things tonight.

Grr...what's normally a 10 minute drive for me, took 3 hours today! We got snow and cars were stuck all over the place. With 2 grouchy kids trapped with me, I thought I was going to go nuts. Plus, I was forced to pee in a coffee cup!! I wish I could drink wine right now

Can anyone tell me how to read an u/s pic to see which side baby implanted or do I need to ask the u/s tech? This was an abdominal u/s btw.

[Bama Belle]

Wow! Sorry that was so big.
