I feel the same way Pink w lots of MCs I am thinking I can't Carry a Girl either!! :nope:
 
I'm sorry Sis. I agree, a reproductive endocrinologist can shed some light for you.
 
Sending you hugs Sis4Us, the prospect of gender disappointment is so scary to me! I can't even imagine what you're going through :hug:

My anatomy scan is in 4 days at 17w 3d, and I am so worried that they won't be able to get a clear view - I NEED TO KNOW!!!!
 
I had a check up on Monday. I heard the heartbeat for the first time! I know that's late compared to most b/c my doctor is so old school.

I like how he measured my tummy. He said it was growing just right. To me it seems like small growth but he pushed down a little and found the uterus a little under my belly button.

I also learned to wake up often to use the restroom because I got a UTI from just one time of sleeping through the night! I should be done w/ the antibiotics Sunday.

Now I'm wondering what other things I need to be careful of. I'm so use to my body being a workhorse I don't know how to treat it with kid gloves.
 
Sugargully, I can't make it through the night without peeing even if I wanted to. :haha: But in all seriousness, I'm glad you're UTI is gone. They suck! I started getting one a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to avoid antibiotics (because they make me SO nauseous) so I tried cranberry pills, and it cleared it up within a day or two! I wasn't expecting much, so I was pretty impressed.
 
I usually don't wake up during the night. When I wake up in the morning though my bladder is so full it's uncomfortable! I hope I don't experience a UTI from it. :/ I guess I'm a heavy sleeper, getting it in while I still can! :haha:
 
I'm finally certain I'm feeling the baby move! I felt a few little things the last week and a half but nothing I could convince myself wasn't a muscle spasm. Then yesterday I started feeling quite a bit of movement and already this morning have felt some. ♡
 
I wake up several times to Pee like every 2 hrs my bladder tends to hold a lot really Fast so yay for very Lil sleep!! Guess I will be ready for that no sleep when baby comes!! :hugs:

:hugs: thanks for all the kind words!

Today is my LOs Bday he turns 9 and I've been looking at old pics of him and realizing how darn cute he is and I know his Baby bro will be too!!
It's just the lack of a girl that I'm missing not the presence of Him one bit!! :shrug:

A Lil pic of him when he was 2 or 3 I think

Sis4U, I know exactly what you mean. I have two boys already and have my 20 week scan next week for our third and final baby. My boys are so cuddly and DS2 in particular is a real mummy's boy, so it'd be lovely to have another little boy, but I always imagined myself with a daughter at some point so not having that would take a bit of getting used to.
 
That's exciting drjo78! How many weeks are you?

Cranberrys a good idea Spiffy....I didn't even think it could be aUTI, just really bad RL pain. But This is my first UTI and I pray it never happens again!
 
So today I woke up with brown spotting, and have been having a mix of brown and red spotting throughout the day, plus some mild cramps/contractions. I'm not sure if it's because of the P17 shot, or because I've been overdoing it, or what, but it's making me nervous. :( This is my 4th pregnancy, and I've never had spotting in the second trimester before. Have any of you experienced spotting this far along before?
 
Spotting can be normal. But if you're nervous go get checked out. I just found out I have marginal placenta previa so I was told to expect something like that but to get checked out if I had anything. I realize my past loss gives me a bit of bias but still cramping plus bleeding should be checked. :hugs: Chances are it's nothing to worry about.
 
Thanks, Crystal. I would definitely have called my OB, but since it's the weekend, their office is closed. So for right now I'm resting and hoping it goes away, and if it gets worse, I'll call the hospital, but if not, I'll wait until Monday and then call my OB. I swear, this stuff always happens to me on the weekend when there's no one to call! :growlmad:
 
O no spiffy!! I know what you mean everything ALWAYS happens to us on the weekends too :/. I wouldn't take any chance at all personally and I'd go get checked! Keep your feet up and drink lots of water the rest of the weekend and if worse go to hospital. But definitely go to your dr Monday!!! I hope it all stops and you are able to rest and relax. Do you have a doppler?
 
Pink, thankfully I don't need a Doppler since I can feel baby, and I've felt him moving today, so I know he's okay for now. I'm definitely calling on Monday, unless things get worse, in which case I'll got to ER or L&D (I'm not sure when the cut-off is for when you can start going to L&D vs. ER).
 
Spiffy - hopefully resting will help it stop. Can you call your OB's office and speak to the on call doctor? Even if the office is closed they usually have an answering service that takes a message and then a dr will call you back. That's so great you can feel him so you know he is ok!
 
Em, I think they do have an on-call doctor, but I'll wait and call them if it picks up again, because right now it's so light I can barely see it on the TP (I've been trying to stay on the couch all afternoon, and I'm making DH do all the lifting of kids). Hopefully by tomorrow everything will be back to normal.
 
Sugar- I'm 18+6. Glad I'm feeling some wiggling. The baby took a few jabs at my bladder today lol.

Spiffy- Hopefully it's nothing! In my unit (I'm an L&D nurse) the cutoff is 19 weeks. Before that you go to the er. Might be different where you are.
 
Here where I am the cut off for l&d is 20 weeks. Before that ours won't see you :/ it stinks. When I was pregnant with dd1 at 19+3 I started having tons of contractions after a particularly stressful night and had a big chunk of mucus with streaks of blood in it. I called my old ob (no longer see them) who told me to go to er. I went to the er and the dr there (who was highly incompetent ) told me I would miscarry due to placental lakes in the placenta and there was nothing they could or would do because I wasn't 20 weeks yet. Turns out the radiologist said placental lakes can be completely normal but my ultrasound was normal no placental lakes seen so I don't know what that dr thought he saw. He also tried to work me up for appendicitis :dohh: even though I was there for contractions and mucus plug loss. I refuse to go there any more!!!
 
Spiffy hope things are settling down for you now :hugs:

Can I be added to the blue team? We are having a second baby boy and we plan to call him James. he's a happy chappy smiling for the scan pic I can't seem to add to here but put it on the fb group earlier.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the second tri x
