2015 MARCH-MALLOWS... Due in March 2015!! Come join us!

[chrislo4]

DrMum, just read your update. Glad your appointment went well!

That's fantastic. Are you due about the same time? I would love one of my close friends to announce there pregnant now. Would be great to have a friend going through it all at the same time.

She is 4 weeks 3 days today & her due date is 24th April 2014 .. so not too far behind. One of my close friends and work colleagues is also expecting. She is 5 days ahead of me! I agree, it is lovely to have friends who are going through pregnancy at the same time!!

Hi ladies, I haven't been on here in awhile. Thought I'd come and update you guys that I lost my little bean almost 2 weeks ago. Been a rough past 2 weeks, but I now have an angel baby watching over my family and I. Thank you for this group, and I wish you all a happy and healthy 9 months.

I am so very sorry for your loss

I put this on the first tri board but I thought you ladies might have an insight too. it totally caught me off guard!


I am 10+5 and was just listening to my Doppler. I found buby on my old c-section scar just to the left as always. out of interest i started moving the wand around and about 2-3 inches across to the right I found another heartbeat!! Both heartbeats are super fast 160-180bpm.

do you think it is just the one baby I can here or could there be two?!?
I immediately went back to the left where I always find it and it was still there. Could it be an echo or is baby big enough to be heard on both sides now?

I had a super quick (lucky to be 30sec) scan at 6 weeks. the tech never zoomed in and you could barely see anything (it looked like a snow storm).

12 week NT scan next Thursday.

OMG how exciting!!! Cant wait to hear your update. We are definitely due twins in the group.

Foxycleopatra - that has happened to me too this pregnancy (and I know there is one in there!) But you never know! How exciting, it's a possibility!

9 weeks & I still can't hear the heartbeat on my Sonoline. Could it be because I have a retroverted uterus?

I'm seeing a specialist tomorrow regrading my thyroid & I'm super nervous. Then I have my root canal on Wednesday Ahhhhh!

A root canal.... Ouch! Hope it goes ok, I hate the dentist

Hope your appointment goes ok with the thyroid doctor. My friend has a thyroid problem & is currently 36 weeks pregnant but it's totally kept under control by medication.

Try not to worry about the heartbeat even though that's easy said than done! I can just about find mind at 10 weeks but only for a few seconds & it takes me ages x

Great news DrMum!

Very sorry for your loss, RockNRollBaby. I agree with one of the other girls that the miscarriage forums can be very helpful, if not now then when you are trying again and when you are pregnant again.

foxy- that happened to me with my last pregnancy. I was convinced for a few days that maybe they hadn't spotted the twin on the scan, but it was only 1. Not sure when I started getting the echo though. Still could be twins, you won't know for sure until they check!! Exciting though.

sn0wbunnie, I didn't realize we have the same due date! And I can't find my bubs on the doppler either. A retroverted uterus would make it more difficult to find. I don't have a retro, but still can't find it. I'm sure everything is fine with both of us, my stuff all says you "may" be able to hear the HB on a doppler starting at 9 weeks, but a lot of literature says at least 12 weeks and doctors/midwives don't even bother trying before 12-15 weeks because it is difficult, time consuming and if they can't find it it usually causes panic.

So sorry RockNRollBabay

 

[NellyLou]

Dr Mum, I am glad your appointment went well!

It is so hard to keep up with this thread lol.

 

[AlyssaANDjosh]

Chelsea- Such a cute bump! There is no hiding that you are expecting!

Sn0wbunnie- Good luck with your root canal, I do not envy you!

The only reason I got an early ultrasound is because the midwife couldn't find the heartbeat on doppler at just shy of 9 weeks and she could tell I was paranoid about it. I'm overweight, but as far as I know my uterus is in the normal position. It's just really early for a lot of women.

For the ladies who have been pregnant before - were you much hotter later on? Because I was kind of looking forward to not freezing through winter, but I'm still comfortable in the high 70s and freezing in air conditioning at 11 weeks. I know my temp is up because I got to try out a heat sensing camera at the museum before and after pregnancy and I went from as cold as you can get to superhot, but it's not paying off in comfort level. It sure would be nice to be a little warmer this year...

I've been getting on the scale every few days just to see where I stand, because I gained ten pounds the second I got pregnant I'm already overweight, so I have to be careful. I'm not changing my eating habits to lose weight or anything, but it reminds me to actually eat some vegetables After a bit of fluctuation, I'm right around where I was at my appointment 3 weeks ago, so I'm hoping I can keep it under control. I really don't want an unhealthy pregnancy, and I don't want to get above the limit for waterbirth in case I want to go that route, and it would be pretty easy to hit that limit if I let myself go. It also means that any change I see in photos between 9 weeks and now might be baby related and not just potatoes. We were too busy and too distracted and totally forgot to take an official 11 week photo, but if I can get DH to email them to me, I can post the earlier ones and an 11+6 photo tomorrow Edit: Just looked it up and it looks like I only gained 5lbs since actual conception. I just happened to gain a few pounds in the two weeks leading up to conception. Might need to mention that to the midwife.

Yes, and I am waiting for it to kick in! My office is an icebox and I'm always frozen. It was so nice last time I was pregnant and I was actually comfortable at work It wasn't really extreme enough to notice at home or anywhere else, just at work where I usually have to wear extra sweaters. Right now I am wearing a long sleeve shirt, long sleeve sweater, with a ridiculous heavy cardigan on top... and it's summer!

Hi ladies! Quick update as I'm on my phone! 12 week scan went well today! Baby measuring 11 weeks, 6 days and due on 3rd March (could you change my due date please Frenchie? ) I've tried to attach a picture, but as I'm on my phone, I'm not sure if it will work, I may have to try again on the iPad when I get home..

 

[MrsKChicago]

That's great, Loozle!

Thanks, Nelly Lou. Hopefully it'll really kick in just as it starts getting cold!

Please pray ladies, I'm at the ER now... Bought my wedding dress (!) and then went to the bathroom right after and was spotting... Scared me so I'm getting checked. Vampires just came through, and I'm hoping they'll do an ultrasound because I'm in shock... I have had zero spotting at all and now some red/pink...

 

[cmr01]

Anyone else breaking out like crazy? I dont know what to use. Ive tried everything. The hubs says its not bad but when I go from a nice clear face to pimple mania its heartbreaking. My first pregnancy I didnt have this

MissFrick, I hope everything is ok! Spotting happens so often, but it's still scary. I hope they do an ultrasound for you. They usually do in these cases.

Yes! I hate it! Probably my worst symptom. I used to use salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide to keep my skin under control pre-pregnancy and I'd have maybe 1-3 small pimples at a time but now I feel like my entire forehead is a pimple like there's no clear skin plus my cheeks and even my back. My dr. says she feels ok with face washes since you rinse them off, but not the toners & creams that stay on. So to add to it I can't use the products my skin is used to. Let me know if you find a pregnancy safe solution bc I'm miserable!

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

I have everything crossed for you Missfrick! I hope all is well.

cmr- I know it probably doesn't work for everyone, but when I find that my face is feeling oily I just go to the bathroom and splash water on it. I don't even use soap or cleaner, I find if I ignore the oily feeling I will end up breaking out the next morning. Some days I have to wash my face 3-4 times during the day to feel normal, but then I can go a few days with only washing in the morning & night.

 

[AlyssaANDjosh]

I hope everything is okay missfrick!

As for breaking out, my face has personally been amazingly clear, but I read an old wive's tale that said breaking out means girl! Girls "steal" your beauty lol. I hope you find a solution!
