TTC Blue Crew Grads

Such fun to have all the appointments starting!! Love hearing about it!

Cheeky how lovely to see the heartbeat Makes one feel truly pregnant when you see it on screen doesn't it?!!

ELP sounds like things went perfectly for you, too bad about no scan yet but sounds like it will be soon! Yes I think the best time for nubshots is 12-14, no earlier no later. I would try to wrangle the schedule to get it at a good time if you're hoping for a good nub!

Babydes I'm so glad your scan went well too! That is wonderful news and must make you feel great knowing you have a healthy little one in there. Will you get another at 16 or wait now until 20? My bean was smack in the middle on my 8 week scan; no real side chosen.

I think Jen is right about Ramzi; he did his u/s at 6 weeks I know. I think the weird thing for me is if Ramzi is so reliable (his study numbers at like 97% seem convincing) then why are there no follow up studies or commentary from others in the scientific community? You would think that would be a topic that would hold interest for many if it was true. Most of the studies we see when we look at the swaying links have all kinds of references and other studies linking to them; his is just a paper out there all alone. Seems weird to me.

See that's how I feel B, we hear this theory and get all worked up about it but yet no one talks/knows about it.

I think the best example is the Oxford study - that thing was blasted all over the news when it came out, it was on my Yahoo home page I remember! And even now if you google it you find sooooo many articles about it. Google Ramzi and you find his paper, and a bunch of boards like IG, etc where people are guessing on scans. So strange to me because it seems like main****** media would have jumped on the topic if it held water. That said I don't know why it isn't considered credible... that part makes me curious, because if you read his paper it seems reasonable. But I'm no scientist, I'm an accountant/computer programmer turned SAHM Excellent qualifications for judging scientific studies, no?!?

[ELP]

Exactly, I don't think it would be hard to be proved true or false would it! They would just need for a quick note on any early scan ladies wouldn't they and then match it up afterbirth, if I was a tech I'd have a little book of my own where I'd keep notes lol!!

[ELP]

Jen thats brilliant that your feeling movement It so reassuring isn't it

[babydes56]

I only get another scan at 20wks. So your little bean was in the middle, good on them for not causing you unneccessary stress

[begonia]

Baby I haven't had any headaches but I know they are not uncommon during pg; I hope it is nothing for you too. Maybe keep track of how often and how severe and contact your doctor if they are persisting? FX they go away soon. Are you feeling well otherwise?

LOL about the middle-placement not causing me any stress; it's a sign for my hopes for this 3rd baby ... one that will finally be easy on me! Everyone I know with 3 says the 3rd is by far their most easy going child For those of you on here where that is NOT the case, I don't want to hear it

[babydes56]

Hope that's true about 3rd being easy going! For sure your lil bean didnt want mommy stressing about ramziz theory lool. Well i had the most aching head last night so much for saying it wasnt bad..i feel fine otherwise but i just hope they dont continue throughout my pregnancy.

3PNB, did you say you can feel the baby moving already, wow that's early

[ELP]

For those of you on here where that is NOT the case, I don't want to hear it

I'm saying nothing! Apart from something I shouldn't really say but, my DC3 does twinkle just that little bit brighter
