Oh goodness! Thanks Krissy, now I just feel silly.

All ok - baby gave us a scare as the sack looked empty both on tummy and internal scan - I almost cried but she quickly hunted for a heartbeat and found one. She gave a huge sigh of relief and admitted she was worried for a second. Must be hard to give that bad news esp if you scan lots of ladies in a day. We didn't get to hear the heartbeat like we did with Mariella she said she didn't like to do that this early as baby needed strength to grow.

My blood sugars are not good and I am on high insulin (higher and sooner than the girls ) Hubs is convinced it's a boy. I think we're baking girl no 3 haha. Back next week to keep eye on sugars!

Busy I noticed Ur signature did u have Ur Rescan ???? I'm so so Sorry BIG

febbride~I'm glad the scan went well, sorry baby gave you all a scare. I don't envy you ladies dealing with T2DM.

Thank you Sis. My confirmation scan is scheduled for tomorrow.

I know this is tmi but...I miss pooping Lol

I'm sorry to hear the sad news about baby B, Pink, but it's lovely to hear that you have a happy little baby in there.

I had my first scan this morning (and saw my very wriggly little baby) and have been put a few days ahead at 11+6, which actually gives me a due date of 28th April. I still feel way behind most of the April girls though, so I hope you don't mind if I stick in here.

 

[KrissyB]

febbride - wow that must have been scary! Glad she found the heartbeat for you though Sorry to hear about the sugars too, but at least it sounds like you're pretty experienced with diabetic pregnancies.

Ganton - Congrats on the scan Measuring ahead is always a nice little reassurance.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Busy, I hope you're okay. Sending lots of hugs and prayers your way, while still hoping that they find a miracle at your scan today.

 

[sugargully]

Gdef you're not alone!

Busy my thoughts are with you during for your scan today.

Febb I'm glad lo is okay.

Afm: I'm being sneaky today ladies. I asked immediate family to send me their updated addresses (they live far from us) for my Christmas card list. Hubby and I decided to mail pink and blue NB diapers to them to announce the pregnancy. I'm so excited for them to know! Everyone else and FB friends will be told a few weeks later. We said we'd wait until week12 but I think week 10 is as long as I can holdout. Also it would be nice to have the support early.

Have we talked about when to announce yet on here? What are your thoughts?

 

[Em260]

Busy - thinking of you! Hoping for a miracle for you today.

Feb - oh that sounds scary, so glad she was able to find the heartbeat! I can't imagine having that job and having to give bad news. It would be so hard. Fx your sugars stay where they should be.

Ganton - congrats on your scan! I totally get what you mean about being far behind the April ladies, my due date is May 26th so I kind of feel that on this thread too. But you should definitely stay here since you've been here!

Gdef - prune juice always helps when I have that problem.

Sugargully - what a cute idea for announcing to your family! We've told immediate family already. And two of my close friends. Other than that I'm planning to wait until I'm at least 12 weeks.

 

[N8ie]

Busy- you are in my thoughts today

Ganton- congrats on the scan

Sugar- that's a great way of announcing.

 

[Flossie_Aus]

Good luck Busy, thinking of you x

We saw a healthy heartbeat at both 7.5 and 8 weeks. But I am irrationally terrified that it won't be there at our 12 week scan. I wish I could relax

 

[KrissyB]

Flossie - I am totally in the same boat. Without a scan and being to early to feel movement its so hard to just trust everything is going to be OK at that next scan. It can't come soon enough.

 

[pinkpassion]

Would y'all consider getting a doppler? I've been able to easily find baby's heartbeat!! And it's brought me so much reassurance especially after all my mmc's/losses!

 

[Flossie_Aus]

Glad to know I'm not alone KrissyB! Hope we both get peace of mind soon.

Pinkpassion I have been looking at hiring one but was deterred by all the things online saying it's probably too early. I feel like if I got a Doppler and then couldn't find it I would probably freak out more. I'd like to think I'd be one of the lucky ones who could find it like you, but if I couldn't I'm not sure how I'd take it.

 

[Em260]

I wanted to get a Doppler during my pregnancy with my DD but my DH vetoed the idea for the same reason Flossie mentioned. It would cause so much stress if I couldn't find the heartbeat and probably unnecessary doctor visits. But the wait between ultrasounds is torture! I have my next one on the 27th and that seems a lifetime away!

 

[pinkpassion]

Totally understand!!!

 

[Smanderson]

Sorry I've been missing this week have been suffering pretty bad with ms had to see gp and am now on anti sickness meds. Still off work, week 2! They must be wondering if I'm going back at all!

Pink so sorry about twin b but I'm glad to see twin a is doing well

Busy I hope your scan went well

Sugar I don't know what a diaper announcement is? We told parents and siblings as soon as we found out as we knew we would need their support and are waiting to tell everyone else after 12 week scan. I think it just depends what you want, I've known people to announce at 9 weeks but also 17 weeks.

Also I got a Doppler which arrived yesterday and found hb in about 10-15 mins wiggly baby keeps moving. It was around 160bpm. We didn't get one with DS for the same reasons but I feel more anxious this time round so for peace of mind I felt it was worth it. Was £28 on eBay and worth every penny for that reassuring sound X

Hi guys - I've not really kept up to date but wanted to share my scan photo from today. Baby measures 10+4 and I believe I am 10+3 so almost bang on. Baby was dancing around and looked very happy. Not the clearest pic but here it is
