2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Aliop]

ER docs are unsympathetic, I didn't get an ultrasound. Still bleeding bright red, but it may be my SCH. Hcg is still sky high, 164,000 now. Going back Friday morning to see if it's increased. Exhausted, going to sleep now.

I had really heavy bright red bleeding at 9 weeks (and again at 21 & 27 weeks) with my third due to SCH, hopefully that's all it is and all is well with both babies. Very scary though

Dark star- ugh I hate how unconcerned they are sometimes. Sorry you didn't get answers. Try and rest and hopefully it will work itself out

One more sleep for me!!!!

I couldnt handle waiting until a 12 week scan to see if everyhting was alright....if it wasnt, to think that i had spent 12 whole weeks being excited about a pregnancy that was no longer i think would about kill me! So hoping everything goes ok tomorrow - it is definitely nerve wracking...

Hope all goes well will check in later xx

Ultrasound went great! Baby measuring spot on and all looked good. I didn't hear the heartbeat but I did see it flickering away. Got a picture to show DH. I went and bought the first outfit (have done with my three others even though it's early I've had two losses but they were before the 7 week mark so choosing to stay positive), got a super cute gender neutral owl print jumpsuit. I am leaning more towards a boy just because of the dates but we will see come October

Woo hoo!!Beautiful news! Im going to be buying neutral owl things too when I get my 12 week scan though... x

Huge hugs, it's just awful have you tried all the usual things like B6, trying to keep hydrated really helps but near nigh impossible I know. I had some relief from zofran wafers with my HG. i hope it eases up soon xx

Can we take B6 on top od the prenatels? because they have B6.. shall I ask my Dr?

So sorry some of us are still feeling so rough. I spent half the time I was cooking dinner tonight retching in the sink. It was bad. My doctor gave me permission to double my dose of Zofran. I haven't felt this good in two weeks!

Attaching a pic of my scan. She said it was really hard to get an accurate measure of the heartbeat and baby. Apparently baby is tucked away in a little corner somewhere that made it hard. I recorded the audio of the heartbeat, though, and I think it's about 130bpm

I want that stuff... im going to call to Dr's later.. I cant lose my job
great news about scan aww cute pic x

Ok I keep bursting into tears. I just am sobbing. I have a history of depression and Ptsd and have generalized anxiety now. I'm not on any medication. I don't know what to do.

Do you have a CPN? counsellor? can you get some advice?

I'm in the ER, having bright red bleeding. I fell down some stairs yesterday.

Hope you and baba's will be ok x

AFM I managed sleep but woke up twice for wee's and now I feel so sick again.. I am just off to the Dentist again..(great day off) hope I am not sick in her hands... I dry heaved last time. I am going to see if I can see Dr later to get something better than Cyclizine and ask about this B6

Hi ladies!

Hope everyone is doing well I am 5w5d today, appointment with my doctor tomorrow to organise an ultrasound for next week or the week after. I am feeling pretty positive atm even though my symptoms come and go, though apparently that's normal!

Just wondering if anyone else here is from Australia?

 

[pink_bow]

Detterose congrats! Hunter will be a brilliant big brother. It's mama_to_grace from instagram

 

[3boys]

Darkstar I wouldn't worry too much. This early baby is well protected in pelvis I'd be more concerned if you were further on x

 

[Dark_Star]

Thanks folks. It's just hard to stay positive sometimes. My last pegnancy passed away at 6 weeks and I didn't know until 3 months, I even saw it's heartbeat on the early ultrasound.

Not really posting...as nothing to add! I do keep checking in though

Still no first app booked... tick tock. haha. Stil debating booking my own private scan, I found a place nearby that only charges 50, better than the place i was looking at previously that charges 100 !

This is like me, nothin all that interesting to post haha. I'm booking a private scan for 16 weeks. There's a place here than has an offer on and makes the gender scan only £39. Just not sure when to book.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Ditto ! I have also eyed up a good deal on a gender scan, but i'm torn between getting in on a good deal and "booking too soon" I think I will book one for ten weeks and all being well go ahead and book the 16. Infact it's exactly what we did last time!

the one we had at ten weeks was so much clearer than the nhs one at 12 :/ we were like "what are we looking at... oh i see that white bluury thing" Sad that they don't have access to the best technology really. I mean don't they use those things to diagnose clefs ?! and all sorts ? x

 

[Serenjay]

I used peekaboobaby to have my last scan as I felt anxious that week..it was £40 with 3 photos. I have another scan Monday at the EPAU... I wont have photo's that day but I get a 12 week scan at my local birthing centre where we will get a nice clear scan.. I have seen scans at 12 weeks there and its crystal clear... I cant wait.

I am almost 8 weeks.. I can't believe it.. its going so fast!! Only people who know are... OH(obviously) Eldest daughter, son in law. Not told my other 2 kids (21&15) but I think my son is guessing... as I am so ill and he moved my pregnancy books off midwife from table to drawer...

haha I thought it was just me that couldn't make anything out on a scan lol. I see head and that's about it.

I really want to book 16 week while the deals on but feel it's maybe too soon.

Do you plan on booking soon?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I suppose it's luck then really serenjay.. I know they are not allowed to let the machines get out of date behond a certain level but they really did seem crappy at my local hospital!

I think maybe even it's the monitors that make it seem worse, yellowing and tiny!

I do admit though the pictures do come out okay.. well the 20 week ones did. the 12 week ones were so shoddy we actually binned them a while back.

 

[3boys]

I think 16 wks is a good time for gender scan that's when I had one on last pregnancy and it was very clear.

I am going to book the 10 week one tonight possibly, but wont book the 16 week one until i go to that.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

This is my sons 16 week gender scan, It's from the 3d/4d sneak peek thingy
So it's not the best because that's quite early for that but it's about the only time I could tell what I was looking at haha.

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Has anyone from the U.S. had their first appointment yet?

If so, did you get a scan on the first appointment? My mom and MIL seem to think they'll just do testing and I'll get to hear the heartbeat, but no ultrasound or pictures. My appointment will be at 8+4 days.

Hope everyone is well. Whew the thread is really active today. I'm too busy at work to catch up.

Welcome all new people. I can't believe we have 48 little owlets!

 

[Dandi]

I had my first appt at 6 weeks and it was just an exam and blood work, but I go back at 8 weeks for my first ultrasound. Since you'll already be 8 weeks at your first appt, you might get the ultrasound then. Just call and ask so you'll know what to expect!

 

[Dark_Star]

I'm jealous of how easy it can be for some of you to get ultrasounds. I'm in a remote location with a 5 hour drive to the next hospital. There's two places to get ultrasounds: a clinic with a 6 week wait, and the hospital which only scans in case of emergency. And apparently me losing about 1/2 cup of red blood last night was not an emergency
