Part 2: Due December 2017 January and February 2018

[srg09cag11]

Pbn, I was also measuring about 2 days behind, but I went back and looked at my previous babies' first scans, and most of them were a little on the small side the first time before evening out and even measuring ahead in later weeks.

I have my next ob appointment on Monday and a nuchal scan on June 13. I'm starting to freak out about it for several reasons. The scan will show the baby's heart, and since I previously had a baby with extreme cardiac deformities, I'm starting to worry about seeing issues again. Then, on top of that, I have the dreaded gender disappointment fear. I hate how I reacted to my last baby's gender announcement, and on the very likely chance that my last baby is my fourth girl, I want to handle it better. I'll only be 12+4, so it may be too early to get a good guess. I've been feeling so good physically this pregnancy, I don't want to ruin it with *feelings*. haha I know you all would understand my ranting; thanks for listening.

I'm sorry srg I think I recall your story from the ddg and it was so heart wrenching. I can't imagine the stress you have right now. What are the chances of it happening again? Was it really rare? I'll be thinking of you. My first scan is the 9th but I'll only be 8w4d so yours isn't to far behind me.

My son's heart condition was very rare -- 1 out of about 4400. We didn't find any genetic reason, so it was just a fluke, but it still makes me nervous. We didn't do the 12 week scan with him, or my two prior pregnancies, so we found out at 20 weeks. With my last girl (after him) I did the 12 week for early peace of mind. Hoping i get that peace again!

Srg I hope your nuchal scan comes quickly so you may have some peace of mind [emoji173] I have everything crossed that bub is going to be perfect and healthly and have a nub that is unmistakenly angled [emoji6] at 12+4, providing you're able to get a nice clear shot a boy nub should be quite obvious

I know it's hard to believe everything will be fine though and fully understand your reservation. So anytime your feeling stressed, worried or freaked out, come and post in here. It helps to write it out I think and releases some of those pent up feelings. Big hugs! You're nearly there! Two short weeks away xxoo

Ladies I'm so over this already! Summer has just begun and I'm ready for it to be over 🤢 I'm ready for the comfy full coverage maternity clothes! Can still fit my clothes since I've been nearly every size in the last 2 years but man am I uncomfortable already! Maybe if the ms would pass and I can actually get something done and not feel overwhelmed it'll be better [emoji22] dh has been zero help lately!

Srg extra prayers and crossed fingers from me to you.

Ash I was just saying the same thing. This MS during warm weather is not going to work for me. All I need is fresh cool air.

On a positive note, I got a pair of sea bands and they are taking the edge off of the nausea.

Appointment was like de ja vue from a year ago. Same time of year, same gestation. She gave me the nuchal and 12 week bloods paperwork plus nipt. Then did a quick scan and now suddenly I have to go back in two weeks. Just. Like. Last. Year. So assuming she seen something not quite right again. Guess I'll find out in two weeks time.

She only measured the sac and then turned the blood flow thing on and I couldn't see any red or blue going to either bub or sac. Said her machine isn't as good as u/s place but she wants to see me in two weeks.
