Oh Emily, at least they'll be able to get a brilliant shot at 22 weeks! Glad that bub was ok, always reassuring to see that wee heart beating.

Hi ladies, I had my 19 week scan today... baby looked amazing and all is on track. When asked if we wanted to find out I couldn't say NO fast enough... but spent the entire appointment scouring for clues, even when she was checking all the vital organs all I could think or look for were BITS! The delivery room surprise is what I personally need to overcome any GD... how can I be sad if I see a beautiful, perfect little boy? I've attached a pic if anyone can make out a nub... The picture is looking directly down at the baby, not side on. (Not sure how reliable it is at 19w?!) Thanks anyhoo! x

No idea, Am....but a beautiful baby!!!

Seriously, this pregnancy is killing me! A major reason why I'm already encouraging DH to go get his V done! I *think* I've been having severe anxiety since 5 weeks (simply because I don't really know if it's classified as anxiety what I'm feeling.) Up until my 20 week scan I would be so sick with worry something would show up on the scan so I think thats where most of my anxiety came from but now that it's over with and showed everything looking perfect I'm still waking up every morning with a nervous/sick butterfly feeling in my stomach for no reason! I'm a stay at home mom so it's not like i'm worried about work for the day or whatever. I got to bed and wake up feeling so tired and anxious like my brains been worrying all night long. I am going to be so happy when December comes because I'm having a hard time keeping it under control and I refuse to take medication for it while pregnant. Ugh.. the joys. Never had this symptom before, that's for sure!

Oh Hun that is something you could do without ! What about seeing a psychologist to learn some relaxation techniques ? I'm on Zoloft for anxiety and depression which I didn't want to take while preg but it does help me a lot and my psychologist hypnotised me as well which helps with the gender disappointment . I hope you can get some help with it as it can be taxing on you xxx

[BeadinMom]

I took Zoloft for DS3's pregnancy & he is the SMARTEST kid...I often wonder if that's why.

I totally understand how you feel, MsB...
I get anxious, too.
My doctor wouldn't put me on Zoloft again, but did tell me I could take 1 Benadryl to take the edge off when it strikes.
If I were you, I'd talk to my doctor.

So sorry you're dealing with this...it's the worst.

Grace, Beadin - I have friends who've taken it through pregnancy too and been totally fine. I've never been on any anxiety meds before pregnancy so I just wouldn't want to try and figure out what works for me for the first time ever when pregnant - and I still feel like I can somewhat control it. But it's hard and I'm glad you guys have found ways to relieve it because it's so annoying!! I am going to bring it up again at my next appt. and see what she says. Glad to hear I'm not alone though.. it's so weird and having never experienced it before its definitely tiring!

Another reason why I think I want to stay team green and not cave at my next ultrasound because I know with GD added on top of this i'd be a loose canon! Already I'm so snappy and on the edge if i'm anxious about something so I like the idea of having a full day or two by myself with DH in the hospital to deal with our GD if this is a boy and then move on so that I can be a good mom for my boys instead of take out my random moments of frustration on them for the next 15 weeks!

Beadin and Rainbow-thank you so much for the prayers. She needs them. Took another downhill turn this morning. This is a real roller coaster ride. :-(

MrsBlakely-hopefully you get some relief or you are able to get some restful sleep asap. You definitely need one or the other. Hugs!

Ladybugs-hoping you are getting some very healthy pink news today!

AFM-I ate 2 donuts this morning and had nachos for lunch. I am definitely eating my emotions today. :-( Hoping for good news tomorrow on Grandma and then maybe I will have a salad!

[I Love Ladybugs]

Soar...I just want to say how sorry I am about your grandma. That was us about 1.5 years ago and while she pulled through...we know that the next time around it will be somber news. Lots of hugs....I can only imagine how you feel when preggo and dealing with news like this...do you have any good support around you???? ((((hugs))))

AFM...just bumped to second position...roughly 45 more mins of waiting for the second half of the appt. I will update in the TTCpink and beyond thread, unless things go wild and then Dream will for me.
