I heard the heartbeat!!! Strong heartbeat! Baby is ok!

I wasn't able to get the blood test because of insurance issues. Hopefully I can get it next week...but we might just be waiting for the anatomy scan in December or January.

Seems like torture to me to wait that long, though!

Great news Lissa! I hope you can get the blood test... it's a long wait until the anatomy scan! I stuggled with the wait to my 15wk scan but that was probably because the girly nub got my hopes up (rightly this time).

Fantastic news Lissastick, delighted for you. Shame about the blood test, am going to pay to get the harmony test, no way I could wait until 21 weeks to find out, that's when I have my big scan! X

Thats great news Lissastick!

Are you feeling any better today Burakoam?

[Burakoam]

Sort of cinss...thank you for asking. I think my estrogen is way higher than normal for some reason this pregnancy and that's why I feel so crazy. Normally my breasts hurt early pregnancy then by mid pregnancy that has disappeared... well instead I still have morning sickness, and my breasts JUST started to hurt within the last week. That with the flare up in anxiety.. who knows what's going on. I probably just have a very fiery spirited baby.. I felt her move alot the day of my ultrasound and haven't felt her since.. been 10 days and not so much a nudge.. wish I was well off enough to have my own ultrasound machine...

That does sound possible, horemones are crazy sometimes. My boobs never normally hurt during pregnancy but this time my nipples are super sensitive its really annoying and painful. It won't be long till your little bub is kicking away in there letting you know shes awake every day, I love how eventually we can play with our bumps by giving it a gentle poke and waiting for one back.

Lissa I'm so glad you heard a heart beat!!!!! How exciting!!! How early can you get a gender scan? Most of the OBs where I live won't do them before 18 weeks and even if they do, they won't confirm a gender until after 16 weeks[emoji30] Is your morning sickness better?

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, you seriously just nailed how I have been feeling! For me, I think it is a mix of depression and anxiety. I know at the time I'm in a funk that I am being irrational, but I can't seem to snap out of it. I have become so outspoken and blunt that I am worried I'm going to get myself into trouble by saying the wrong thing to someone at work lol! I have not felt like this with any of my pregnancies, if we didn't know this baby was a boy I would swear he was a girl just from my emotional state haha! I want to ask my OB about anti-depressants next week at my appt but I am afraid I will break down and start bawling in front of him. Times like this I wish I had gone to a female OB, I think they would be more understanding. I have a history of mild anxiety and have been on meds before for it, but I really don't want to take anything while I'm pregnant. I hope you can find something that helps! Maybe I'll have to try some of the ideas posted. Just know you're not crazy or alone and it made me feel a little better to read that you're going through the same thing as me...because I was feeling totally nuts lol!!!

I'm having my 16 week gender scan on Friday, even though we know we are having another boy. Looking forward to seeing him.
