- 2015 JUNE BUGS - Join Us!

[Shilo]

Hello, everyone!

I'm very cautiously joining this group! I just found out Wednesday that I'm expecting and will be due in June 2015.

The reason I'm cautious is my first pregnancy, my son Connor, was stillborn around 30 weeks on 3/7/13, so this is kind of scary!

I'm under the care of a specialist due to also struggling with infertility after losing Connor. They ran blood work once already and it looked great! I get blood work again Tuesday. They said probably three rounds of that and then an early ultrasound.

I think DH and I are just really nervous this time around. I have only told one close friend. We have discussed telling my parents very soon.

Congrats! I'm so sorry about your son, Connor.

Do you have an exact due date so I can get you added to the list?

Its so hard not saying anything to them. My girls are both baby obsessed as we've had a few babies in the family lately. My daughter keeps talking about the baby in my SILs tummy, and theyre most definitely not pregnant (I dont think) so maybe I could pretend a similar situation. I dont want to chance it though as I think my mom is already suspicious. Plus she has an uncanny ability to know when a woman she's close to is pregnant . she knew before I did the last two times. I'm trying to throw her off then scent a little though lol.

Congratulations! I dont blame you for being apprehensive with your history. Do you know why he was stillborn? I can't even imagine the agony of a stillbirth and I am in awe of everyone who can suffer such unimaginable loss and find the strength to just keep going.

Wishing you a smooth pregnancy with a healthy baby at the end of the journey

Thank you! They did pretty much all testing they could do, including a full genetic panel on me. There are no genetic issues, but they believe that he did have something called Noonan Syndrome, which can occur just like Downs Syndrome. It can either be a "fluke" as the chromosomes split or genetically passed down. Since our genetics are all fine, it seems like it was a one time fluke and pretty much no chance of a recurring problem.

Congrats! I'm so sorry about your son, Connor.

Do you have an exact due date so I can get you added to the list?

Thank you!

According to my calculations, I'm due June 19. That could change after my first ultrasound of course. I would be elated if it stayed the same, because that's my birthday!

Welcome new bumps! And congratulations

My dr Appt went well. We weren't able to hear the heartbeat but we we're able to see it! Our little blob looked to be doing well! We go back in a wk and a half for our 8 wk scan and will be able to hear a heartbeat then if there are no complications. I also got a prescription for nausea medication that has been amazing. I was finally able to eat today!

I'm hoping we didn't jinx ourselves today as we purchase a few baby items today from our neighbor who needed to make room and were not planning on having any more kids. We were given such a good deal we couldn't pass on it and I feel like even if something goes wrong we'll have these items for the future.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I went to the hospital today. The pain was really bad and I started bleeding red again. It was just sudden for a few minutes and was pink near the end and stopped as suddenly as it started. Last night the pain woke me up. Anyway so the doctor took a look and asked me about my dates. We saw a gestational sac and a yolk sac but no fetal pole. The gestational sac was measuring around 5w 3 days. From my dates I should be 5w and 4 days so around the right size I guess. Still we didn't see a fetal pole and I'm just wondering if it could potentially be a blighted ovum. Anyway he said to keep my appointment on Friday when I will be 6w +2 and hopefully we can see it and find a heartbeat. He said it could go either way. But he also said it can be normal not to see anything at the moment. Is he correct? I didn't get my blood taken or measured so I don't know whether it is at a good level, rising or falling. I'm just scared to get my hopes up, I feel like with the pain my body is trying to miscarry and my body knows. My OH is still very positive at the moment and he will be going with me to my Friday appointment so if anything does go wrong he will be there to support me.

Please everyone keep your fingers crossed I need a miracle!

Fingers tightly crossed for you. I think it's normal not to see much at this stage, and it's good news your mesurements match your dates (few days off doesn't matter!) I hope you get to see/hear that heartbeat at your next appointment.

Also, have a look at this post!

Just one slight thing worrying me, he did mention it measuring 2cm which when I looked it up is way too big but his scan equipment definitely said 5w 3 days on it so maybe he got the 2cm thing wrong. I think that's what it should be around 8 weeks maybe? He spoke in Japanese and in English because he was the only doctor available and wasn't able to speak much English but he did his best and my husband did his best to translate. Anyway I definitely saw on the monitor 5w + 3 so I'll try not to think too much about it.

Also, does anyone think the yolk sac is a little on the large side? Maybe it is just the angle because the doctor didn't say anything about it. In Japan it is the doctor that actually gives you the ultrasound.

From my OBs' view, that's good. At my scan (5+1) we saw nothing but a cyst where my egg went out and a very thick lining. He MAYBE saw a small sac but couldn't be 100% sure. My scan is in little less than two weeks. Worrisome!

Thanks for your comment Radiance! Is it possible you got your ovulation day mixed up?

Looks like we all need a little bit of sticky dust and fingers crossed. If I feel up to it, in the coming week I might visit the shrine and pray for us all. Maybe people aren't religious, and neither was/am I. However when I arrived in Japan and learnt about their mishmash of Buddhist and Shinto religion, that actually made more sense to me. I think it's mainly based on superstition and I'm a very superstitious person so maybe that is why. Anyway I'll say a prayer.

I agree - weeks 3 and 4 are the longest weeks until 37 on lol.

 

[kissesandhugs]

Heather I'm 4 weeks today too! So far. Lol. That can be changed obviously. Nikoru I'll be thinking about you! The fact that the sac is measuring right on is good news your situation actually sounds a lot like mine except I did have clots and bled for a while. The pain was horrible. We only saw the sac and yolk at first then when we went back for our 6 week appointment....we saw the heartbeat. I hope yours ends the same way! Just try to keep yourself busy this week. Stressing about it isn't good for the baby either lots of

 

[Marlarky]

I'm 5w3d and I can wait to hit 12 so maybe I'll feel pregnant at least lol I'm so worried that because I barely have at symptoms its not gonna last

I'm about the same as you. So far I've not had much by way of symptoms yet either. A little bit more tired early evening and tender boobs. But let's not forget one important symptom - missed period! Plus I only started feeling icky from about 6.5 weeks last time. It lasted until 15 weeks exactly. You are still very early so don't panic x

 

[Snufkin]

I was sick from 7 to 13 weeks last time...already getting some nausea now but I've not needed to throw up or anything yet. 6 weeks today, and another 7 until my first scan!

 

[Radiance]

Approaching 7 weeks soon

Nikoru0111- Thanks Of course I'm a bit worried but how can I not be. He said that everything looked great so far and not to worry. The thick lining and fluid (where the egg came out) were wonderful signs and the possible sac (which did look like a sac) was on that side as well. I just can't wait for my scan. It's a big one! We should see baby and a heartbeat! I'll be nearly 8 weeks.

Could it have been 2mm? That would make sense

I think your yolk sac looks perfectly normal. I think it's great news that you're measuring on time. That means you likely have no stopped developing so I have high hopes for you that you will see a heartbeat at your next appointment.

Are you still bleeding? If you were miscarrying, I imagine you would have kept bleeding. With my miscarriage, I started spotting for a few days and then the red blood started and it didn't stop until the miscarriage was over.
