2017 Junebugs <3

[Catalyst]

Cant believe I read all the thread!!!

Im cautiously entering this group. I had a chemical in august, was nearly 6 weeks when it started to bleed.
Now I am about 4w2d and I am nervus as hell! I estimate that my due date is june 29th

I have two wonderful boys age 7 and 4 so this will be our #3 and we are hoping for a girl, but realy just want a healthy happy baby

We have been team yellow in the past, with first we decited walking in the room hehe in the waiting room we were going back and forth. Both times I had a feeling it was a boy, although I tried to convince myself it was a girl last time hahaha
We think we will go and have genderscan this time since we dont plan on having more babys. Want to try both ways.

I havent had many symptoms, only pulling feeling, bit sore boobs but not much and cramps now and then. Been geting less though, and it makes me nervus.

Utis - with myolder boy I had gotten uti 3times at 18 weeks pg, and since infection can make you cramp or get labor on I was put on atnibiotics and was on it until I delivered. With my second son I had uti early on and was put right away on it and also took it untill I gavebirth.

Ohh, my older is a C-serian but younger a vaginal birth, so I have tried both

Wow, welcome to all the new ones!!

My UTI symptoms has completely disappeared. IT wasn't an UTI, I was simply drinking toI much water. I assume that, because it went away when I started drinking a lot less. Yay!
Gonna bring it up with my dr at my 10th week appointment though, just to be in the clear.

I'm curious to how many dr appointments you guys usually have? Here in Denmark we have one right when we test positive. It's simply just going in, take a pregnancy test and the Dr will refer the woman to whatever hospital. From on there, there's a dr appointment again at 10 weeks, which include blood tests, testing for UTI and STD's - basically a standard check up. He'll also start a pregnancy health record you have to bring to your midwife, ultrasounds and so on and they will all fill it out, so when you give birth the hospital knows everything about you and your pregnancy.

Week 8-13: NT scan
Week 12 and sometimes also 16: midwife
Week 18: U/S to check everything is fine with the organs and limbs.

Week 20, 28, 32, 38 & 40: Midwife

Week 24 and 35: Dr listens to baby's heart.

Welcome to the new ladies!! :wave:

Nora I have no idea how many appointments I will have. My first is at 8 weeks, then another at 12/13 to get my cerclage. Then I believe I should have scan every two weeks to check my cervix measurements (because I had a loss caused by a weak cervix). So maybe 12 appointments total??

I'm with a different doctor than I had before, but I'm thinking of calling my old doctor to see if she will let me come in this week for a scan!! She always did her first scan at 6 weeks, to check viability. I'm really hoping she'll let me come in...and with my history, I bet she will.

Nora I'm in Canada and will have a mw instead of OB. Generally you start with a mw at 10-11 wks, they then book you for a NT scan around 13 weeks and then anatomy scan at 20 weeks. You seem them 1x/month until 32wks in which you do bi-monthly until 36 wks and then weekly until birth.

 

[Mdc]

Wow tons of activity here.

Welcome Charlie and great scan!

Newbie, sorry about the cramping. I also had some too and was told it was the uterus expanding. Lots of things going on in there even this soon.

Symphony, welcome and good luck on your scan.

Catalyst welcome! That is a lot to read

Nora, glad your bladder is soon better. As for doc appt I am not sure. First tri they said in could get weekly US bc of my late-ish mmc so for now likely weekly. Then no clue after that but I believe it sounds similar to what waiting said.

Very happy but nausea is set in. Mostly in the afternoon/evening before dinner. Yesterday I felt fine, started worrying of course , after dinner then bam yucky the rest of the night. So weird how day to day to day is so different. We just told my MIL last night which was fun. My parents and sis know because we were at a family reunion when we got our first beta. We did not tell anyone last time so figured what the heck and change it up this round. Superstitious I guess thinking different things equal a different outcome. Oh the mind games we play

I'm trying to get everyone's info updated on the front page.
Let me know if you have any questions/see any mistakes.

So the new ladies can see this. I put it on the front page, as well.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Mdc-I have that same mindset...if I do things differently the outcome will for sure be different! Fx'd lol

 

[yoshy]

I've started peeing up a storm the past couple of days.

My boobs still ache, but I've tried different bras and adjusting them and it helps a little. I'm still going braless unless I have to leave the house though.

I'm in Israel and over here doctors appointments and scans depend on the doctor. Some do more and others less. At the least you have three. Dating scan around 6-8 weeks, anatomy scan at 20ish weeks, then third tri growth scan.

We won't be doing the NT scan, but we will do the optional early anatomy scan they offer between 14-16 weeks.

 

[babynewbie]

Welcome to all the new ladies!

Sooo many June babies on the way!!

 

[Nora88]

I don't think I pee more than before, but I have to pee shortly after I have a drink and it has to be ASAP lol.
The last 3-4 night I've woken up at 4am to pee.

Me too. 4am every night.

 

[babynewbie]

I have a cold and feeling very sorry for myself Just sent hubby out to buy me goodies and treats to cheer me up. Perks of him not arguing with his pregnant wife

 

[Catalyst]

Babirnewbie hahaha hope you get better soon.

Girls I have a question..well two
1. How many tests did you take until you stopped? Or do you still take them?
I have taken 5 tests un 5 days! And there are som left!!! I am not sure if I can not test again.. at least for a week.. then I will be further on than in august when I had mc and feel like I will be safe to stopp. Silly maby &#129300;

2. Have you thought about how you are going to tell people? Last time we did litle bit thing out of it and it was so much fun. Before we had just rang them... no fun memory in that, reason for different methid is first we lived so far away but last time same town and now far again.
But heres the thing. We would want to wait until viability scan is over bit next weekend my parents and brothers are coming to my town and we are all going to spend a lot time togethet caus monday 31st my mum will turn 50.. so it is out for dinner and she wants to meet for a drink beforw and it is a drink I like so... I think I will have to tell them.. although I dont know how to hide it from my brothera hahaha.. any ideas? Here ppl suspect if ypu say antibiotics.. and aince it ia clpae family they will ask why I take it, whats wrong.

 

[Nora88]

Catalyst, I took 5 on the following days:
3+1
3+3
3+4
4+0
4+3

I took 5 because I was freaking out and wanted to see if the test line was getting stronger (higher HCG level).
At 4+4 I went for an early scan and my midwife told me to stop testing for security reasons, cause a test can still be fullblown positive and a minute after the embryo could die. It's basically creating a fake feeling of security.
Felt less nervous after I stopped testing and I actually don't worry or feel anxious that much anymore.

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]

With my fist baby I took 22 tests, second I done about 18 tests, 3rd I done 15, 4th I done about 10 and this time Iv done 8 tests lol

 

[Catalyst]

Charlie you are like a pro and im like a newbie compared feel better about it.
Nora I know it is false security... yet it makes me feel better. But I am going to try slow down in the testing department

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I say if it makes you feel better to test than test! I can't even count the number of hpts I've peed on lol.

 

[TTC First]

Now, you all make me wanna do more tests. I will have to do another one in the morning.

I haven't had many symptoms at all and I getting worried. I have several losses in the past around this time and it's on my mind. I had an u/s a week ago but it was too early to see much. I have another u/s on Friday.

 

[OilyMamma]

Hi guys. Hope its ok if i join you. Im due in june also first appt is nov 3. Still doesnt feel real yet
Congratulations to everyone!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Ttc I took a dollar store test the other day that really didn't tell me much. The test line was darker than the control but that doesn't tell me much as my levels were high to begin with. I guess it wasn't light but I didn't feel a huge sense of relief. I'm debating to go get another beta drawn but am nervous that it might not be as high as I want and then I'll worry for the next week until my scan. I would like to fast forward a couple weeks to get out of this unknown stage.
