[Neraida]

Hi Girls. How r u doing ?
i HoPE you r all fine. I will try to read all the pages you have written till today !! xaxa So many ladies. (kisses to all of you)

I was out of my homeplace (island) for a few days and went to Athens for our first appointement with the doctor. If you remember, I had an IVF in January and had a ++ beta number 105.
So my doctor never asked to repeat the blood test just told me to visit him after ten days. So , I did that on last Monday. ok, the beta number was good but not that huge and of course I couldn't imagine what i learn after....
Last Monday, I was 5 weeks and 4 days. We didn't expect to see a lot of things but we had a wondeful surprise.
We saw 2 different sacs and emvrios and the doctor announced us that we are excepting twins. The sacs though have different sizes and doctor said that this is normal however I am as always, anxious about this.
Next appointement is next week when I will be 7 weeks.
Girls, i am so excited and still so afraid, if we will hear hearts. I am loosing my mind. Am i the only one feeling like this and having so bad thoughts? ouf sorry about this...
I know that you can understand......i don;'t know how to handle it.

Congratulations Neraida! I am also expecting twins and very concerned about them as I'm experiencing bleeding. I understand your worries completely.

Thank you Dandi for possitive energy. Really helps . How r u doing ? We ar on the same date. :-D

Congratulations Neraida! I am also expecting twins and very concerned about them as I'm experiencing bleeding. I understand your worries completely.

Dark Star. I remember you had a possibility of three babies !!!! Hope that either 3 or 2 will be healthy !!!
I hope everything will be fine and bleeding is not something bad . I read stories about bleeding. They say that many girls experience some bleeding while pregnant but then everything was fine. In my country doctors suggest rest (all the time in Bed!!!) and give more progesterone. Have you spoken with your doctor ? What did he say ?
In addition, you heared heartbeat, so this is really good !!! I know that word are only words but I wish you all the best girl.

I hope everything is ok Dark Star!

JCP when i called to confirm my bfp to my obgyn office they scheduled me for a 8 and 10 week appointment. they said 8 week is to go over family history, blood test and i forgot what else. they said 10 week is when we hear the heartbeat (and I dont remember if they said ultrasound but, think they did)! Every practice/office/obgyn has different ways of doing things but roughly operate the same way. Unless you had previous issues with pregnancies or assisted pregnancy then U/S are not done when you confirm pregnancy early.

Neraida Congratulations..

Dark star hope bleeding as stopped.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Neraida congratulations! I'm so pleased for you

Hope everything's ok dark star

I've felt a bit ropey today but not really sick exactly. I've got bad tummy ache too.

I went to bed at 7.30 last night, and slept with only one get up to pee till my alarm went off at 5.30. Still had to go out and get some lucozade because I was falling asleep at my desk

 

[Serenjay]

Im going to struggle in work tomorrow with this MS

Am I the only one thinking this pregnancy is going way too fast?

 

[Newbie32]

Hi girls, i need to catch up (on about 10 pages!!!) but all went well with my scan yesterday! My little bean is looking nice and snug in here and has a strong heart beat of 130bpm - was amazing to see!

Here's a little photo of my little blob! I'll go back and catch up on what i've missed!

 

[Dark_Star]

What a sweet little blob! Congratulations on the good scan!

 

[Serenjay]

Excellent news.. beautiful scan x

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I feel like it's dragging. Although I haven't counted off every single day this week so it's gone much faster

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Congrats on your blob! The picture looks great.

 

[cheree89]

Congrats on the scan!

Sending positive thoughts to those in need.

Feeling simultaneously nauseous and hungry at the same time for almost a week now. I've gained almost 5 pounds...need to slow down. It just seems that all I want are things not good for me. I didn't have cravings at all with my other kiddos and didn't ever gain more than 30 lbs with either pregnancy. I hope I can get a hold of this fast.

 

[Newbie32]

thanks girls!
I had a terrible time with my GP yesterday after my scan. I wanted to speak to her about getting the Harmony test (in case its not used in all countries its a blood test at 10 weeks which gives you a confirmed yes/no for chromosomal abnormalities on three different trisomys, and can be used in addition to the NT scan for must more concrete results) anyway, because i'm over 35 i was keen to get it just for awareness. Well my doc tried to tell me there is no such test in Australia (there is) and wouldnt give me a referal. So after that, and how she told me if i was to exercise i would miscarry, i think its time i found a new doctor!!! I'm going to try to see a new one on Monday...

Dark star i hope all is ok and its just our sch and nothing more serious with those little beans of yours!

Ali we must have had our scans at about the same time yesterday!

I think its still feeling like it is dragging on, i wish it was 17 weeks not just 7!!

I was just thinking exactly the same thing about this week, Friday tomorrow! I've been counting the days a little less this week too.

So many pages to catch up on, so I'm so sorry for missing some people out.

Lovely to see some scan photos now, congratulations ladies!

Am thinking of those with concerns, the first trimester is such a scary time.
Really hoping for happy news all around

 

[CrazyMumma]

Morning all

So glad your scan went well newbie!

Am so tired today - no matter how much I sleep I'm exhausted!! Had some horrid cramping this morning just after I woke up but seems to have gone now. Booked in for my third scan on Tuesday - fingers crossed we can see our bug this time!

 

[Natasha2605]

Beautiful scan pic. What a lovely little blob indeed!

My boobs have been sore yesterday and today, my left one in particular. Not so good when my nearly three year old likes to sit with her hand down my top ouch

My girls are so bonded with the baby in my tummy already. They're already talking about how they are going to sing to it, tickle it, help bathe etc. maci asked if she could kiss my tummy so baby knew she loved him ( they now both want a boy so call it a him lol). It's lovely to see and I can't wait until they are able to feel baby kick.

I'm in Aust too and seeing my OB next week for the first time and am going to ask to skip the NT and go straight to the harmony test. I just think being over 35 I don't need the airy fairy maybes of the NT test, I need the most accurate test I can have if you know what I mean. We didn't do the NT with the other kids because I've always felt it wasn't a 'certain' enough with the results. I'll let you know what she says on Thursday. My friend had it done in January but she also did the NT testing.
