2014 April Rainbows

We saw our sweet baby's heartbeat!!!! 116 BPM, due date is staying the same! Wow, I am still in shock. I couldn't look at the screen until my doctor said, "I see a baby with a heartbeat!" Simply amazing. We go back in a month!

That's fantastic! My first appointment is on Tuesday. Wish me luck!

Good luck!

Congratulations ladies.....I am going for an early scan on Monday, will be 5w 5d.....Not sure what to expect as I went last week and the dr couldn't see anything...fingers crossed all will be ok.
I have lost 5 babies and had 1 successful pregnancy.

Good luck on Monday! Hope everything goes perfectly

No change here girls. No symptoms what so ever. Had. Sharp pain earlier but I think it was more to do with the way I stood up well I'm hoping that's what it was.

2 more weeks to wait now for a scan so I am wishing the days away. I need to decide though whether I want it at 7 weeks before my birthday or 8 weeks after it. Don't really want bad news before my birthday but then again I really want it over and done with if you know what I mean.

Angiejo, Good luck for monday!!

Hope4rainbow, Our husbands have to put up with certain things while we are pregnant and not say anything about it!! haha Im sure he does worse! haha

Wendy, I got a few sharp pains on both side last week when i stretched in the morning. Im sure it wasnt anything bad. I know what you mean about wanting it over. I hope you get good news!

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Finally, I go to an ultrasound were I didn't leave crying! the bean is measuring 6 weeks 1 day (a day ahead) and it has a little heart beat we saw flickering away! I have another scan in about two weeks, where we will make sure everything is continuing on schedule.

I'm so excited and happy. My poor husband was bracing himself for bad news and is basically shell shocked, this might be it! Finally!

Almost forgot, got my first full on wave of nausea today while teaching a class. I really thought I was going to barf everywhere, but I held it in and made it to lunch without getting sick.

Its funny, everyday I have gotten a little sickish feeling I have thought maybe it was MS and got a little excited trying to analyze it. This time, I just KNEW i had morning sickness, and rather than questioning it, I was just trying to told myself together while teaching my kids!

This all is starting to feel so real!

 

[IcePrincess]

Vietmamsie- how long are you going to take your Aspirin for? Did the doctor recommend it?

 

[vietmamsie]

I was prescribed after my second mc. I think my doctor will let me know when I should stop it, maybe around 12 weeks?

 

[hope4rainbow]

Hooray Vietmamsie, such wonderful news!!!! Did they tell you how many BPM for the heartbeat?

For the aspirin, if it's necessary to your pregnancy you'll likely need it the whole time. It's a blood thinner to keep clots from forming. I'm on an injection blood thinner for my clotting disorder and I'll be doing it everyday up until 6 weeks after giving birth. Blood clots are more common during pregnancy, so if you're at a higher risk for them you'll probably need it the whole time. Things like progesterone you usually only need until the 2nd trimester, but I'm pretty sure blood thinners are needed the entire time.

 

[vietmamsie]

I asked how many BPM, but they said they couldn't get an accurate reading until they can hear it at 8 weeks. But it sure seemed to be flickering pretty fast! I didn't get a picture either! Oh well, next time.

 

[Kasey84]

I got the results of my second beta hcg today. It went from 77.5 to over 800 in 5 days! The doctor says that's really good, so I can breathe a sigh of relief...for now anyway I just have to wait for my ultrasound!

Vietmamsie- that's wonderful news! I'm so glad your scan went well. Fingers crossed that everything continues to go perfectly

 

[Brieanna]

Yay vietmamsie! How exciting to see the heartbeat!

Only a few people would think we weren't crazy for wanting morning sickness, lol.

 

[Lisa85]

Vietmansie, Congratulations! im so happy for you!

Kasey, thats great news! Sticky beans all around!


is anyone else getting really bloated by the end of the night? i looked huge last night!!

 

[aurora_dawn]

Do you mind if I join you ladies? I'm not yet sure of my due date but moving over from ttc and this feels like a good fit for me. I'm about 4weeks. Just got my positive test yesterday. Had a miscariage a year ago. I'm over the moon happy and yet scared all at the same time, and its nice to find others that know what I'm going through. Havent even hunted down an EDD or made a doctors appointment yet. My miscarriage happened the same day as my doctors appt to confirm the pregnancy so have been feeling nervous to even make that appointment!

On the other hand this pregnancy is feeling different than my last. So far not much cramping and holy moly my boobs are sore! Never experienced that last time!

Good luck to everyone!

 

[Mahoghani]

Vietnamesie that's fabulous! So happy for you.

 

[Lisa85]

Hi Aurora! Nice to have you. Congratulations!! We all understand how you are feeling. Its great that things are feeling different from last time. I hope this will be your sticky bean. Good luck for your first doctor appointment.

Hi ladies

I've been a little slow to join up with a group because I was kind of scared in case something went wrong and I then had to remove myself, if that makes sense?

I had a MMC last year at 11 weeks (tho' it had stopped growing at 6-7 weeks). We got our BFP on Saturday so are now nearly 5 weeks pregnant.

I had an extreme (beyond comprehension) level of work stress last time, to the point where I struggled to eat and sleep because of the worry. But now work is fine and relaxing. I hope that was the cause of the miscarriage last time.

Anyway, this time my BBs are really sore and I have vague waves of nausea and constantly need to pee. Hope it's all good signs

I hope we are all here in 9 months' time sharing photos of our little ones

Welcome and congrats, when are you due?

15th April thank you xx
