Due March/April/May 2017 (3)

[Lissastick]

Welp. It's here. The day of my prenatal appointment. I go in at 3:15pm (pacific). They will try to find the HB with a doppler, and I'll be getting my Verifi blood test to look for genetic disorders and find out gender. It will be about a week from today (maybe slightly longer) before I get the results, I am assuming.

I just want baby to be alive. I want to hear their heartbeat!!

Lissa dont get hopes too up about this but with verifi they have a good history of getting results back pretty quickly. blood drawn on a monday and i had results by friday afternoon may be the same for you!

good luck and i am sure baby will give you a good heartbeat and if not im sure they will look for one with the machine and that just means you get to see baby again!

Anyone that can help...really struggling here.

I am really 'wired' right now. I dont know thats the proper term. Maybe anxious IS the right term its just when someone thinks about anxiety on a normal basis im not sure this is what they picture. But im very edgy, extremely irritated and frustrated and real fast to go from 0-100. i had a panic attack waiting for a prescription for DD3, hyperventilating and crying. I havent had this in any of my other pregnancies. My blood pressure is elevated but OB says textbooks say i am not far enough along for it to be pre eclampsia or anything like that. And its not sky high or anything like that to be fair. But i feel like i am totally losing my shit. I cant live like this and so i am desperate. ive tried meditation, calming music, "me time" (not sure i can really get that right now with a sick baby though) but i cant wipe stuff off my plate today to loosen the stress hold...I have got to get this bedroom cleaned and scrubbed down and then because DH is a slob i'll have a ton of pop cans and dishes to do in the kitchen.

I literally sat in the car at the pharmacy screaming and beating my steering wheel because the guy ahead of me was there in the pick up line for 30 FREAKING MINUTES. 30 MINUTES. 3 cars in the other lane (which i was too far pulled ahead to switch into) left before he left. Its like he waited in the drive through, meant for fast pick up, for them to FILL HIS PRESCRIPTION. HOLY. CRAP.

I feel like a tv or movie joke. I know this is the running joke of what pregnant women are always like but i have never had this pregnant or not. I genuinely feel so heavy in my chest i swear i am dying. And if i call my OB i only see negative outcomes coming from this...worst of which is i'll be committed because thats what i feel like at this moment is a crazy person.

help.

Burakoam that sounds like anxiety to me. What has helped me is walking, calamile tea, hypnotherapy and also anti depressants (if it doesn't go away). Breathing techniques can help too and also reducing sugar and caffeine from the diet. Pregnancy hormones can make everything harder to cope with.

On another note... you have drive through pharmacies?? How handy is that! All we have here is drive through fast food, bottle shops and some mini convenience stores.

Lissa how did it go?

Hi Ladies, I am here to join your due date group. I swayed girl, but think I am having a boy, the tech at the 12week NT scan said boy, but didnt give me any nub shots or anything worth while to obsess over, then at the 16 week scan the baby had its cord perfectly between its legs so we couldn't even get a potty shot. At this stage I just want a confirmed potty shot so I know for definite and can move on and stop obsessing. It has taken me a while to join I was waiting to get over my GD as I went through a pretty dark period, but now I can feel baby kicks and have started shopping for gender neutral items and am back to being excited about having another baby regardless of gender.

My due date is 06/04/2017 and I get to have my 20 week scan on the 24 November so just a few more weeks and then we can know for definite.

Hi ladies, I am here to join your due date thread. My due date is 06 April 2017. I swayed girl, but I think it is a boy. The cord was between the legs at 16weeks so we can only find out at the end of the month. I have been waiting to find out before joining but still don't know for definite, but already had GD as the 12 week NT scan tech said more than likely a boy. Anyway I have started feeling kicks and am back to being excited about having another baby regardless of gender.
