Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond #2

Sun I have everything crossed for you, but also feel very positive this will be it for you, and baby will be so healthy in there. How many weeks are you? Sorry I'm so out of who is where now.

Ttc pink I will be devastated if you are snowed in too! Awaiting both your scan news eagerly!

Charlee its awesome to get an update and I sooooo remember the no bra stage. I answered the door to the postie once with one boob half hanging out "air drying" (I forgot)!! So even when I had my bra on, it didn't seem to help much, hehe. Ps thanks for the compliment, I felt the same about you before AND after birth you made it look so fab. I know it doesn't always FEEL like that, but on the outside you were and are glowing!

Pixi how cute is your bump! Time is flying now!

Gecon your little man is adorable, and he does indeed look just like his older brother. I want a baby with hair!!! Hehe I always get baldy ones, which I also love of course.

Emily, she's so adorable. I'm thrilled for you that all the effort, stress and expense of returning to the uk for the birth paid off and you had such a positive experience, even if it was long. Did dh go back home already? When do you and the kids go back?

How is everyone going with breastfeeding? It's my main concern now, I'm really hoping it goes better, after trying and failing with ds1 (4 months) and ds2 (6 weeks). Of course it will help if we get a baby with no allergies, no reflux, and my stupid fibrocystic breasts don't cause me to get mastitis every few weeks. Sigh.

I'm also to the "birthsessing" stage, where I seem to think about it way too much, and begin imagining all the things that could go wrong. :-/

Hi ladies! I Had my ultrasound today. Baby measured 6 weeks 5 days but I should be 7 weeks 3 days. Heat rate was 137. Not sure if this is concerning or not? I think after a miscarriage and chemicals everything is a concern.

**GeCon** · January 23rd, 2014, 04:15 PM

Sun, how sure are you when you ovulated? Sorry, but I don't know about the heart rate, but I would think it is a good sign that there was a heart rate.

What is the next step? When is your next scan?

**Sunflower3** · January 23rd, 2014, 05:42 PM

I charted GeCon. So it's confusing. The OB said I could have conceived up until
12.24 which is impossible since that's when I got a. + frer. I'm confused.
Margin of error is 5-7 days so maybe is ok. I just can't relax. After the twin miscarriage I'm a mess.

**TTCPink** · January 23rd, 2014, 06:33 PM

Sun, I am thinking positive. If the margin of error is 5-7 days then it was only measuring 5 days off and definitely in that window of error. Also the fact that you can already see the heartbeat is a great sign!! I think everything will be OK, hun, but I definitely understand your concern after all you have been through. I will continue to pray for your sweet little bean! XXX

Hi girls! I had my u/s this AM and I am measuring 7w3days. They gave me a due date of 9/10/2014 and the baby's heart rate was 146!!

Sun - I can completely relate to how you are feeling. I lost two babies in May and August and I found myself worrying about everything this time, I am still worrying. I do think that it's a good sign that your little one has a heartbeat, and that it is above 120. My doc told me that 120-160 is normal at this stage.

Heart rate sounds perfect and I don't think it's an issue at ALL with size/dates. Implantation is a big window even if you know when you ovulated and can more than justify that difference.

Also, in my experience, girls are smaller ;-)

I do completely understand why you are worried given your losses though, big hugs, I truly think this one will be ok. Xxxx

Thanks Meeks! It's hard to try and relax given the past year of losses but all I can do is wait until the next scan. Dr also moved my DD to 9/13 from 9/8 based on measurements. Fx munchkin keeps growing!

Sun will they do a follow up ultrasound in a couple weeks to monitor growth? I agree with Meeks! Could have been late implantation!! Still praying. Xxx

Hi Girls! This is a repeat from Longtermers thread but I know not everyone in here follows that thread. Tonight I will have my gender scan! I had a good cry this morning and a heart to heart talk with my husband. I cried for the girl I want so desperately that I may never have. I'm having a hard time accepting that my dream may end tonight. I was up until 1:00 last night looking at girl bedding and clothes, just wanting to enjoy the last night of having hope for a girl in case we hear blue tonight. I am already in love with this baby, and know that we are blessed, boy or girl. But as only you girls can understand, it's still hard! I will keep you all posted. Should be able to update from my phone around 7:00 or so tonight hopefully. Xxx
