@IsabellaJayne hope everything is okay with you both, please update us when you can xx

Well OB appointment went well. I told her I was not comfortable having it done and said I'd much prefer to have it once he is here and she just made me promise I'd have it done at our 6 week check up. No appointment now until the 19th July after my 19 week scan.
She did quick u/s to check hb and he was happy in there, and looked much bigger now lol! No appointments now until the 6th July for my midwife appointment and then my 19 week scan on the 8th.

@Skye75 So glad she didn't push you into it!! Must be a relief!!

@IsabellaJayne Good luck at the scan

@Teafor2 always best to get checked!

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Skye75 I'm so happy she didn't push u to have that. I don't think wud be comfortable having that done while pregnant tbh. At my doctors they won't do it if ure pregnant. I was supposed to have one back in December but we had been ttc for 11 cycles and they booked me in right when I was ovulating so I canceled in fear that it wud cause problems. I've been told to book in again after I've had baby so I will do that.
Happy 16 weeks hon.

@Teafor2
Urghhh UTIs are horrible. I had a terrible one with DS at 21 weeks and had to stay in hospital over night. Gosh the pain was horrendous.
Hope u feel better soon hon. I'm glad ure being seen. It's always best to get seen ASAP with stuff like that esp in pregnancy.

@IsabellaJayne
Oh hon I'm so sorry u have a kidney infection. I've had a few of them myself so I know how awful they are.
I'm sure baby will be fine hon.
They will probably just put u on strong antibiotics. I hope u feel better soon and please keep us posted.

Get well soon ladies.

@pipsbabybean i was told to take asprin but only after 12 weeks, not sure if that was just me or a General guideline? X

If I’m remembering @Suggerhoney was told her bleeding was down to taking the aspirin??

Yeah I started baby aspirin as soon as I got a bfp as advised by fertility doctor and when I had the spotting and bleeding I thought it may of been the aspirin but it wasn't it was a erosion on the cervix.

Thanks guys I’ve slowed up for now
I’ve been in bed just resting since 6 last night
Kids were at their dads and bleeding defo does ease it’s now starting again as I’ve done mum stuff
School run washing etc back in bed now college signed me off for a week so I can make the most of resting

 

[Teafor2]

@IsabellaJayne I hope everything is okay! I had a kidney infection years ago when I was still a student and they are not fun.

@Skye75 Glad to hear your appointment went okay and she agreed to let you wait until you’re more comfortable for the pap!

I’m good and everything in my urine test was negative. She said it’s just my uterus and the burning was probably just hormonal. She did a check of my tummy and said while it’s on the early side for my uterus to be up so much she thinks it’s because I’m skinny and I’ll just show early.

So glad all is good hon. I have a tilted pelvis so i show early.

Beautiful scan picture hun! I’m so glad that everything is going great with your baby!

I’m feeling paranoid myself about whether everything is okay with my baby since I haven’t seen the baby since my 7 week US! I have an OBGYN appointment next Wednesday though so hopefully they will let me see the baby on US during the appointment!

@IsabellaJayne ouch about the kidney infection but yay for scan pics and a healthy bub!

@Teafor2 glad everything was good - you poor thing need a break from these pregnancy stresses!


Had my check up today - heard babies heartbeat for the first time - right around 162 bpm! She found it right away which was such a relief. I started feeling baby around 8 1/2 weeks (crazy early I know!) but the past week have barely felt one kick a day if that. She said bub probably just flipped around and was kicking my back. Of course they mustve flipped back today bc Ive already felt about 4 kicks. I tried to scam a scan out of her but she wouldnt. Oh well I will be getting scans every 3-4 weeks from here on out. I have an appt with MFM July 2nd at 17 weeks, then growth scan July 27th at 21 weeks, then will have growth scans every 3-4 weeks after that. Im pretty fortunate - the one good thing about having lupus is loads of ultrasounds! Lol I uploaded the heartbeat video to facebook but cant figure out how to do it on here.

Any other upcoming appts/scans??

@wannabeprego Im surprised being IVF they arent monitoring you more closely?

it’s good you’re having lots of scans will help the time pass by more quickly.
I have a consultant appointment in 2 weeks time and a midwife appointment.
And then have my 20 week scan on 23rd July. I’ve been really busy with work so getting time off to go to appointments is actually really difficult at the moment x

 

[Rach87]

Wow last week of July will be busy for scans in here! Youre 23rd, mine 27th, and another mama was the 30th(maybe @Skye75 ?) exciting!

question about feeling baby: when did everyone start feeling this baby or when did you start feeling your other babies?
My first was 13 weeks, 2nd was 11 weeks and this one 8.5 weeks. Im on the smaller side but still shocked how early this one made itself known. I couldnt imagine having to wait until 20 or so weeks like some mamas or those with anterior placentas - seems like torture!

 

[Skye75]

@Rach87 my 19 week scan is booked for the 8th July
I've felt flutters and stuff, and a couple decent kicks but nothing that's super regular. Hoping that will change in the next couple of weeks!!

 

[Lucy3]

@Rach87 thats so great you felt movements early! Hope I do too. I think I was around 13 weeks for my second so maybe a bit earlier this time. It’s still the size of a poppyseed at the moment so a fair way off yet

ughh this is me! My third anterior placenta I found out yesterday. Usually around 20 weeks for me

 

[Teafor2]

@wannabeprego I feel the same way... haven’t seen baby since my 8 week scan and I still have another week and a half until my next one! I want to just be able to tell people already without worrying is everything is okay. I have an appointment with my ob on the 28th and will probably get a quick scan then, and then my nuchal is on the 29th. Once that all comes back okay I’ll be fine letting everyone know!

 

[Catmumof4]

My next scan is 19th July x
