Spinning its really common, its just a build up of the fluid that is supposed to go around the brain and spine, it gets smaller and smaller as the baby grows, and usually gone by 24 weeks. Doesn't usually cause any brain problems either, try not to worry.

I am on baby aspirin and lovenox for blood thinning. I have a clotting disorder. I had four miscarriages between my two boys, one before either of them, and then another chemical before this baby. It does seem that blood thinners are the "answer" for me. It's apparently more common of a problem than some people realize. I think like 6% of the population has an issue with it. And it doesn't necessarily affect every pregnancy. My first son was not affected, we didn't know about it then, it was after him that we found out. This is my second pregnancy on lovenox and aspirin.

But I am terrified something is going to happen. I cant help it. I am really crampy and achy today (I did two hours of shopping on top of cleaning yesterday, there is a good reason), but it makes me SO nervous to feel this way. I have been blessed with two very easy pregnancies with few discomforts. Already this third one had come with some additional discomfort, probably from her sitting so low. But I freak out about the crampy feelings and back aches, even though I know they are normal and probably just stretching from growth. I have used the Doppler twice in two days...usually I am a once-a-week user of it. But I keep panicking that something will happen to her. It seems too good to be true...getting three healthy children, having a family I had always wanted (brothers and a girl). It just seems like the foot has to fall somewhere. But I am trying not to freak out. I am sure it's growing pains as they are common around this stage of pregnancy.

Hotdogz, I have had ALL kinds of pains with this little one from early on, I seriously have never felt so pregnant in my life. I think it is because she was sitting so low, and also maybe because I started out heavier, but really the pains and constant pressure.. even when sitting down were terrifying to me. I do find also that on days I go shopping and get that mad rush of Christmas stuff done I FEEL it.. and have to sit or lay down the rest of the night.
As far as doppler use, I went through a period of using it daily if not twice a day I just had to know she was okay.
She is a gift and a blessing, and she's healthy as far as you know, right? Just focus on that, and enjoy your pregnancy.
I personally think that everything will be okay!

Spinning, I knew you wouldn't have any worries that you weren't in the PINK club anymore.
She's still ALL Girl! I have heard of the cysts on the brain before, I haven't done any research, but it looks like Cinss has, try not to worry sweetie. Why don't you go celebrate and go buy that "First Little Dress" Or just go immerse yourself in "GirlWorld" The girl section! What fun that will be!

I'm not sure why they did one. She just mentioned this to me a few weeks ago. This is her 5th baby too. She had twins the 2nd time she was pregnant. And she said something because she just found out this baby had a cyst too. She is a maternity nurse and really didn't seem concerned about it. And she said the same thing as your doc...she sees them at the hospital all the time.

hm ok, thanks.

Just had my 18 week scan and it is a beautiful baby boy! I thought we were going to hear boy the whole time, but last week the P.A. that did an ultrasound guessed girl. I still knew in my gut she was going to be wrong but it was still a little let down when we heard the words officially. Anyway, I had my moment of sadness and I'm sure more to come since this is our last. But I'm happy he is healthy and hey, while I won't have my own princess I will be a princess to 3 beautiful boys!

Jheitz, I am sorry you didn't hear girl, but congrats on a sweet and healthy little
I love your attitude though! He will probably melt your heart!

I got the impression she pushed for an amnio because she was worried. This time around she seems very relaxed about it. I hope your doc appt will help you feel better.
