Hope baby starts to gain a little soon hun. By the sounds of it your heading for a teeny tiny like what my little munchkin was

Possibly even smaller, from where they are on your chart ima guessing around the 5lb mark. Seth was on the bottom line at 5lb 14oz. You should still be fine for your natural birth huni xx

Wow i would have thought checking on admission was a bit late.. what happens if their is no anesthetic team member available? xxx

Koala- I hope that your little one starts gaining soon. With my oldest sister, her babies were all around 5 oz and she was able to have a natural delivery. Keeping my fingers crossed that you're able to deliver naturally! That's my hope for my delivery as well.

Anyone else have issues sleeping this early in their second trimester? It seems like every morning I start tossing and turning earlier and earlier. Sunday it was 4 am, the next day, 3 am... and last night I started to toss and turn at 2 am! Not fun when I can stay in bed until 6. Then I find I'm exhausted for the majority of the day. I find it impossible to stay up past nine, but maybe that would help me sleep better? Oh well! I guess if nothing else I'll be used to the lack of sleep before baby gets here

Anyone had a scan at 7+5? Will it need to be transvaginal or will it be abdominal?

jen1019 · Jan 30th, 2013, 14:08 PM

Noo- I had a scan at around 5 and a half weeks, and then several up to that until around 9 weeks. All were transvaginal. This was also at a Fertility Specialist, and that's the only u/s they do. But I don't think at 7 weeks they can pull it up doing an abdominal. Hope this helps!

Thanks - I'm expecting it'll probably be vaginal but was hoping not as DS will be hovering around so didn't really want him seeing that.

I think it depends on the place too. My 8w scan with DS was abdominal iirc. 4 and 6 weeks were vaginal though.

Noo, I had my first at 7+4 with ds1 and it was abdominal hun. Got a pretty good picture too

Would you guys mind if I joined your group? =)

I'm 38 & my BMI is 29 (a size 12/14 US), so I fit into this group. I have Type 2 Diabetes, so it'll be a high risk pregnancy for the above reasons. They told me I'm going to need some extra scans too along the way, which I don't mind actually b/c it sets my mind at ease.

I just went for my first scan last week and we saw the little bean & heard a heartbeat (170bpm!) so all is well so far.

Anyway, hi everyone. I'm off to bed, it's getting late & I have work early.

Welcome ClipMyWings

Noo with m JJ at 7 wks I was transvaginal and jelly 2 it was abdominal think it depends where baby is laying.

Still having issues with my left hip hoping resting at home for couple of days. Annoyed picking up JJ tonight he'd been bitten and pushed later onto a dolls house where he banged his head by the same child. I'll be speaking to the manager tomorrow. Just hope I don't start hormonally start crying.
