Due in December 2014 - Jan/Feb 2015

[Marika]

Hi ladies, just thought I'd update you after my scan today. It showed a a tiny little fetus just right sized and a heart ticking. The doc could see a little blood in my uterus area, but cervix is closed and she couldn't really tell why I have been bleeding. Such a relief to see that everything seems ok so far!

Anyways - are you good on Ramzi theory? I was curious and asked her if she saw the placenta, and she showed me where it is beginning to grow. On the screen it was on the right side so I immediately thought "boy". Then I googled it and it says you can't tell unless you know if the pic is reversed or not, and that it varies. Some write that both abdominal and transvaginal has to be flipped, some say only the abdominal. Any ways of telling if I don't know how the monitor was set up?

So glad to hear you saw that beating heart Marika! What a relief it must have been.

I bled so much with DS5 & DS6's pregnancies and they're gorgeous energetic boys, so I hope you can relax a little now you've had some reassurance at the scan today. 💜💜

[Marika]

Yes it is a big relief! The other bleedings (duting other pregnancies) have been more on the outside though (coming from cervix outside parts) so it did worry me a little that it was actually in the uterus now. It was tiny though, so I hope it is just a small vessel that is sensitive and bleeding.

Welcome Lala! I am from Tampa, FL and also hoping for a little boy this time around :-) It's still pretty early for us (5 weeks today) so I haven't had too many symptoms, but I definitely "feel" pregnant, lol.

Marika, so glad everything looks normal for you and you got to see the heartbeat! We have an at home heartbeat monitor that worked pretty well the last time around. I need to dig it out of storage, but I'm pretty sure it's still too early to get a good result. I'll likely start trying to find the heartbeat on my own after 6 weeks or so :-) Last pregnancy my doctor didn't see us until 8 week,s and they just did a pregnancy test, but no scan. I just know that I'll feel much better once I can finally hear the little guy or gal :-)

Marika I'm so happy for you! I don't believe in Ramzi theory! Hoping its your DD!

Glad your scan went well Marika!

I am like you sweatdream...my morning sickness has been so slight. I thought maybe it just hadn't fully hit yet but here I am...over 6 weeks now and I feel good for about 90% of my day. Late at night I feel a little off and I don't have a huge appetite but it's so much better than my all day stuck on the couch sickness I had with the 3 boys.

I've not been here much. I am struggling. I posted a pic of the scan on another forum and all have guessed boy. It doesn't even have a nub to guess from but still people think its a boy from skull shape. I can't snap out of my mood, my husband is getting it the worse. I am just awful in te waiting. I am in tears all the time. I lost my sunglasses this morning and had a melt down x

[sweetdream]

Hope its DD for both of us! I do feel pg and am nausea and tired but not in the long run as I was with the boys. I think diet is the reason though

[sweetdream]

Dreamingofwin! Come on skul theory is nothing!!! You really still have a chance at girl! Plz don't let it get you down! Can you post the pic here?
