(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[DHBH0930]

All went well at the scan today...baby was sleeping and they had me cough and shake my hips trying to wake it up...our baby is already lazy! lol Finally moved around a bit, looked at us once. I'm so relieved again! Loved seeing it move and hb was 164, can't wait to see my baby again. We have our gender scan scheduled for June 27th!! I will be almost 16 weeks, so hoping they don't have any trouble determining sex, if they do I get to come back in a week or two after to try again.

ready2bmum...yay for no worrying...unfortunately I am going to have to worry about preterm labor throughout. but taking it one day at time...

my OB appt yesterday was dissappointing. shes referring me to the high risk doctor that was trying to pressure me into reducing and said its going to be a c section.

Hiya Ladies,
Had some bleeding a few nights ago and ended up at A&E. I sadly found out yesterday one of our twins never made it past 8 weeks and would have been lost shortly after my last scan. My body has retained the 8 week foetus and the other baby had grown nicely and was measuring 10W6D. Our singleton baby now had an EDD of Boxing day. I have my NT scan Monday which I would think will confirm that as my EDD. xXx

 

[DrGomps]

sorry for your loss Nikki...I lost one of my quads...so I know how you feel.

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

Thank you hun, I read about your loss too So sad isn't it xXx

Hey ladies, I'm freaking out a bit (or a lot). I'm anywhere between 10 weeks 3 days and 10 weeks 6 days (earlier date according to LMP, later date according to early scan I had at 7 weeks). I've not been feeling too bad, although I've been off my food completely, and feeling quite nauseous in the evenings but never being sick. I've also been feeling the odd twinges and pains thorought the pregnancy, which I found reassuring as I assumed it was my uterus growing.

Then all of a sudden, three days ago - all gone. I'm not feeling sick at all (although I still have to force myself to eat, I'm just not hungry at all). Twinges are gone too. And boobs are less sore (although they never were terribly sore to begin with and I've started wearing a bra at night which was the only time they hurt).

They found a healthy heartbeat at 7 weeks, and doctor said risk of miscarriage has dropped to 5%, if that (his exact words). Bump is also growing, a lot, though I'm not actually putting any weight on. But I've read on Internet that this doesn't mean anything that sometime uterus keeps growing even if you've miscarried! I've had no cramps, no bleeding, I guess I'm terrified of a missed miscarriage.

So I was wondering, have any of you had their symptoms disappear like mine and still been ok? I don't know if it's too soon for ms to go!

At least I have another private scan this Sunday so ill find out soon... But I'm just so scared...

Hoping girl- I was the very same. I never had extreme symptoms to begin with but I had nausea, headaches etc. For almost 2 weeks now I've been feeling fine besides being tired in the evenings. I had myself worried sick. Had my 12 week scan yesterday and I have a perfect little baby growing away in there. I also have LOST 1lb since I got pregnant! Nurse said its perfectly fine at this stage.

Typically yesterday after the scan I was the sickest I've been in ages!!

We can't help but worry, its the nature of the beast

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you've made me breathe again! Your pregnancy sounds just like mine. The only 'new' symptom I've got is exhaustion every evening. I thought I was tired before but this is 100 times worse! So glad your scan went well for you, and thank you once again for giving me hope again for mine!!!

If you're anything like me you can't help but compare yourself to others and their symptoms, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you view things) no one pregnancy is the same. Its hard cause that means we have nothing to compare ourselves to!
I made a promise with myself yesterday before the scan.....there is a fine line between healthy worry and being neurotic-and I was tipping over that line! So I promised that after I saw the baby yesterday I would let go and enjoy the pregnancy I have longed for. Otherwise il ruin it on myself!
It was like a switch flipped yesterday during the scan..my baby is growing, active and happy in there, and from now on his/her mommy will be too!
You're baby will be exactly the same and hopefully you will find some peace after that too.

Seems like a good philosophy to me! i always thought I' stop worrying after I actually got my BFP, then I thought it'd be ok after my first scan, now it's the second! Need to let it go after Sunday, and just enjoy it I've been looking forward to being pregnant for sooooo long that it's silly for me to now spend all my time worrying myself sick about it Thank you again!

I've hit 2nd Tri today.

Although I don't believe it until I have my scan on Tuesday.
I'm so scared they will find another MMC, even though I've no reason to believe anything is wrong.

Hoping girl my symptoms started going away week 9 and were completely gone by week 10! I was in to see my dr a couple of days ago and we heard a healthy heartbeat and baby moving around.

Thank you for that! I'm soooooo pleased I decided to post in here this morning, you ladies are best! You've made me feel like a million times better.

Glad your little bubba is ok!

Why does the other dr want you to reduce? I know it's an additional baby in there but my sisters are fraternal twins and they were born full term, isn't there a good chance they would all be healthy even if they came a few weeks early?

Or is it the dr who said to reduce from quads to trips? Sorry I was confused
