I wish I could workout, but I have been partly bed-ridden from week6. My MS is tapering off a bit, but that just means I don't throw up 5 times a day. I didn't feel this way with DS. Today, I tried some mild yoga, but ended up breathless on the 3rd minute while doing downward dog.
I hope everything's ok with this pregnancy, but now freaking out if my HCG were on higher side.
113 at 11dpo
6080 at 5w2d.

Those betas look totally average.
I think I actually had mine at 5w3d and it was 11,000ish
I checked a patients today who was 6w4d and her's was 39,000 with a totally normal ultrasound.

12 week ultrasound went great! Baby is great with a very low fluid level on her neck so yay! She didn't like the ultrasound lol. Kept flipping around so her back was to us. Heartbeat 171

What does fluid on the neck mean? The ultrasound tech didn't mention anything like that to me at my 11 weeks ultrasound.

My morning sickness meds aren't working as well as I hoped, but they are making me drowsy which is good. I just hope that the actual anti-nausea component kicks in ASAP since I've lost more weight.

Found out today that I might qualify for the Pegasus research study! I just have to get a dating scan and specific bloodwork before 13w6d. If I can make that cutoff I'll be good but fingers crossed that I get all of that taken care of. Having a free test like that would be FAB! Thank you to Fit_Mama for giving me the info, yay!

That's awesome Lavender!! If you do end doing the study let us know how it goes! In my case I had already done the bloodwork and the dating scan so thought I'd be a shoo in but there are just too many of us old moms, LOL.

If you have trouble getting in for a dating scan on time see if they can notify you of any last minute cancellations. I ended up getting mine the same day I called for an appointment because someone had just cancelled...otherwise the wait was going to be over a month. :-/

Yikes that's what I'm afraid of. I was supposed to go in earlier and would be getting a scan around this week or next but my GP botched the referral SO badly I haven't been able to get a correct one and I'm still miffed about the whole thing. It's a referral, not rocket science!

That's what the NT ultrasound does. Checks the fluid level on the back of the neck. If it's high it can indicate downs, a heart defect or other chromosomal issues. We knew the measurement would be low since our panorama came back low risk for Down's and other trisomies and such.

So I've been meaning to share with you girls a book I picked up for my cousin. It's so super cool. Somehow they got a camera. Inside a few pregnant people and took actual photos from conception to delivery. I'm going to snap a few pics with my cell and post them. We're all between 9 and 12 weeks now, right? I'll grab a fav from each of those weeks. It's so cool though. They do special features on the development of hands, feet, facial features, etc.

That does sound really cool Sass, looking forward to seeing the photos!

 

[hivechild]

Oh, I've seen that book and even have it on my wish list but had forgotten about it! Please do share some of the pics. They're pretty amazing.

 

[KylasBaby]

There's already an October group on the PAL forum! I still feel like I'm not far enough along for there to be 2 groups after me lol.

 

[Pearly86]

That sound really amazing sass let me know about that book too and how to get that pictures done

Well I had my appointment today but kind of got bummed as the ultrasound appointment had to be booked separately and I was all hoping to see the baby today

But for now they took my blood for informa test which as per here is the test for Down syndrome and other chromosome issues and also this test detects sex of the bay so I am all excited!!!! This is gonna come after 10 business days and can't wait to know that already

And got my appointment for ultrasound booked for tomm

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Wow, an October baby group already, that seems crazy

Good luck with your scan tomorrow Pearly!

Missing you ladies something awful today. Yesterday was the worst day of my life and waking up today to my normal belly was tough. I'm ready for things to get back to normal. Chatting with you guys had become such a huge part of life the last 12 weeks and it's strange to stay off this thread. I will definitely still continue to check up on you guys and see your beautiful blessings.

Sorry you're having a tough time darling. I've been there. It does get better. You will always wonder what if, but it won't always hurt so much. The first few weeks/months are rough. Then when the due date comes. But it will get better. We will all be here for you. Hopefully when you are ready to try again you get your rainbow

Awwww hi hun! Stay strong, you're an amazing person and amazing things will happen soon! Xo

I'm having a really rough day today. Nothing is going right, I have a terrible headache, a slight pain in my lower right pelvis, and beyond tired and exhausted.

Realized my lovely dh never made our car payments this month so have been getting threatening phone calls from the finance place.

Supposed to be getting a pension contribution refund from my previous job... Was supposed to get it weeks ago so had to call again to see where it was.

Lovely dh hasn't cleaned out the litter box in DAYS and it looks and smells horrid! I sent some nasty texts his way while he was at work. He also didn't take out the garbage as that's his chore. I am not happy! He spent 4 hours last night after dd went to sleep just playing video games and on his iPad so he is just flat out lazy!

I don't know how I'm going to be able to take care of a newborn, a toddler, and a man child all at once. Surely I'll go gray???

This is the book

Eyes week 10 and 12. I think the 12 looks weirder because the eyelid is starting to cover it up.
