(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[DHBH0930]

Hi everyone,

I've just returned from my scan, as its in the right place this time we saw the yolk sac and a beating heartbeat, so happy after everything we've been through that were finally at this point. Measuring spot on 5w 5d, and going back on the 13th may or another scan. Will upload a pic soon

That's great! Glad you got to see the heartbeat! Can't wait to see a pic

Awwwww.

I wish I had a stuffy nose!! The super smeller is NOT helping my nausea!

And I remember with last pregnancy waking up at 3 am every night, having a snack and watching some tv, and going back to sleep. Seemed to always happen at the same time. I sort of enjoyed it.
That was one of the signs to me this time that I might be, because I woke up at 3 am one night and couldn't go back to sleep until I ate.

Congrats Nicky!! That is awesome that you got to see the heartbeat! Now you can relax and enjoy being pregnant

 

[SugarBeth]

I have both a very stuffy nose AND super, super smell! The whole house smells bad! I asked my husband to please help me track it down, but he can't smell anything bad at all. It's there, I know it!

I'm excited for summer pregnancy. I plan to spend most days at the pool with my toddler. We both love swimming, and it'll be great exercise for us both. With my daughter, I had her in July and pregnancy in winter was a pain for me - I was stuck inside the house all day and the days went by so slowly. I'm packing my summer schedule so it goes nice and fast!

I had my scan yesterday too, but it was a bit disappointing for what I was hoping for. All that was visible was a yolk sac, and a possible, might be baby. No heartbeat yet, no sure fetal pole. I should be 6 weeks. The doctor said not to get discouraged and this is normal, but it definitely freaks me out after going 13 weeks in pregnancy last time and never getting to see or hear a heartbeat. I have a long two week wait until my next scan to see what's going on!

Congrats Nicky!!

Hope everyone is well.. MS has reared its head as of this morning.. I hadn't eaten anything and I felt so sick I was gagging getting breakfast ready for myself and my kids.. not a fun moment.. but it makes me feel reassured things are going well

Can I join? I'm due dec 3. Based off my LMP i was supposed to be due Nov 13, but due to long cycles and a bunch of stuff i don't really understand that's not the case anymore! I went in for a private ultrasound when i thought i was 8 weeks and all we saw was a gestational sac. I was a little freaked, but the dr assured me it was ok, that i wasn't as far along as i thought. So at my 1st dr appointment they were able to do an internal ultrasound where we saw a baby with a heartbeat - that was absolutely amazing!

We are so excited! This pregnancy was a huge surprise since we weren't going to start trying until july, but i guess we didn't do anything to prevent it so that is what happens! This is our second, my first is a little boy who is going to be 17 months next week. We can't wait to find out what we're having.

I'm so nauseous ALL day long, and the stuffy nose is killing me! BUT! despite all that i'm happy to be starting this journey again.

Sorry I'd be so disappointed too, it's probably best that I didn't have an early scan since then I would be doing more harm by stressing out Try and relax and do as much as you can to keep your mind off of it. I'm sure everything will be fine. Hope the next 2 weeks fly by for you!

Hi ladies! I just got back from my dr appt and everything looks great! The dr couldn't make out a heartbeat quite yet but he said based on my opk positive I'm only 5 wks 3 days. He said I could come in tomorrow or the next day and see it but that it wouldn't make him feel any better about the pregnancy as everything looks right on track. We saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac measuring 5 wks 3 days. I'm scheduled to have another ultrasound on the 30th so dh and I can see the heartbeat and then I will go back in 4 weeks after that. New due date is dec 16! Oh he also said I will have to have intramuscular progesterone injections starting at 18 weeks to prevent preterm labor like I had with dd. I'm a little disappointed we couldn't see the heartbeat but I'm excited to have a second scan in 12 days! Oh and I have pictures I'll try to post those!

yay congrats hun!! What dates were you going by earlier??? LMP??

Aww i'm so excited for you! You definately JUST missed the heart beat I saw mine and I was only 5wks 4days! At least you have something to look forward to at your next appt, maybe you'll even get to HEAR it!!

I didn't see a hb with my DD at 5w6d...the actual ave day to see it is 6w5d.

yeah...I hate having a super sense of smell working in a lab..

ugh...I don't enjoy being pregnant in summer...I was with DD...she was born in november...it wasn't fun in the humidity....but at least things are slower and more relaxed here at my work...so I am looking forward to that.

and having an early scan, if too early can be such a worry. I KNOW your pain...the tech at my first scan was SUCH a jerk...she basically was telling me my pregnancy wasn't viable...I tried to explain that I had long cycles...I oed on CD 24 and so my dates were off...sure enough I was measuring spot on for the day I oed...anywho...mine was at 5w6d...there was a gestational and yolk sac and the start of a fetal pole but no hb...I had to wait a week to come back and it was the longest week of my life...but everything was FINE!! Did you think you were further along?? I always go by O date and not LMP as its not accurate for me. And a day makes a HUGE difference in early pregnancy. Like I said earlier, the average day to see a HB is 6w5d.

yeah....early scans, if too early can cause lots of unneccessary worry.


AFM...DD is sick with a fever...so no sleep for me, she was nursng pretty much ALL night...on a positive note, I think the crazy headaches/fatigue and dizziness were all due to being sick...I still have a bit of dizziness and feel pregnant but not as SICK as I was early. SO I am relieved that I have more energy and feel better...now just wish my DD felt better...

what does everyone have planned this weekend??? We are having a birthday party for DH tomorrow.

 

[DHBH0930]

Have fun at the birthday party! This weekend I'm working, have some photo shoots lined up (so the fun work, not my normal job ) and there is a women's show that me and my mom and two sisters are going to on Sunday, lots of cute things to buy and sample they are bummed its too early to know gender since they always sell cute baby things there.

 

[lilrojo]

Hmm not much going on over the weekend... try to wish time away till Tuesday..

[Starry Night]

nicky - congrats on the excellent scan!

Feeling far too brain dead to keep up with everything. Though someone mentioned gas. Oh boy, I think that is my number one symptom this time. It even comes in a routine. Every night after supper it comes, builds until I think my stomach will explode and then at 10:30 I start to fart (tmi, ha ha) and feel much better.

And I hate stupid pregnant dreams. Right now I have a recurring theme where I'm in my early 20s again and I'm trying to get my DH to notice me but he just won't. He'll go off with another girl. When I wake up I have to remind myself it was just a dream and that we are together.

Did you think you were further along?? I always go by O date and not LMP as its not accurate for me. And a day makes a HUGE difference in early pregnancy. Like I said earlier, the average day to see a HB is 6w5d.

I actually have NO idea when I O'ed. It's so funny, as every month I can pinpoint the exact day of my O, but not last month. It actually seemed like I didn't O at all, I'm assuming we hit it right when it started, and that's why I never saw the O signs. So I only have the standard dates to go by, which aren't very reliable as I'm both breastfeeding and have odd cycles after my miscarriage. My cycles are anywhere from 26-30 days, so I could be off by at least a few days. Dr. said that if what he thought might be the baby is the baby, it measured 5w, 4d which sounds normal to me.

I knew I was really early to see the heartbeat, so I'm trying to comfort myself with knowing that it usually isn't there yet, especially if I'm a few days earlier. I'm loving hearing stories about those who saw what I did and had a happy outcome within a few weeks. I'm so hoping that happens for me, I want this baby so much!

Aww, thank you! That does make me feel better!

 

[brit3435]

Drgomps I thought I was a day farther along than my dr did. Not much I know but can make a difference in seeing hb or not this early. I actually oed over night on the 24th so he said conception occurred the 25th. Thanks for sharing about the scan with your dd it makes me feel a lot better! My dr said not to worry but I can't help it only 11 more days until I will hopefully see that hb! I'll be 7 weeks 1 day so we should def see it then!

We don't have much planned for the weekend but today my best friend from middle and high school is coming over and bringing her dd for a play date so that will be fun. She is 6 months younger than my dd but they still have a blast
