Hi DHB just noticed I'm still on 7th Dec on the front page, but they moved me forward to 4th. Could you possibly update for me? Thankyou :)
 
Thinking of you Brit, really hope its absolutely nothing. :hugs:
 
So jealous of you and your little girls :) Hope my LO turns out to be a girl, even though I'm positive it's a boy! I suppose a tiny, gorgeous, handsome little man in my life wouldn't be too bad either :)

Congrats to the ladies with newly revealed genders!

Dr Gomps you look fantastic! Your bump is huge but your all baby!

My ultrasound and appt with the perinatologist is in 2 hours. I hardly slept last night and baby was up all night kicking too. I'm hoping its a false positive because of the bleeding I've had earlier in pregnancy but its hard not to let your mind go to that dark place of what if especially in the middle of the night. My dr said they may want to do an amnio if they don't find anything on the ultrasound because my afp levels were not just high but very high. If the dr recommends amnio I will have it done but I'm nervous. Has anyone had an amnio before?
 
at least with amnio you can get some answers...sorry you have to go through this...hope this appt gives you some answers...even then though I don't think its 100%
 
Wish me luck ladies I find out tomorrow and hoping for a girl after having 3 boys but will be excited either way :)
 
We got wonderful news at our scan this morning, our baby is absolutely perfect! The ultrasound took awhile and it was more detailed than any ultrasound I've ever had, but it was so neat to see every little detail of our little Vayda. They checked each vertebrae in her spine, they checked 7 different areas in her brain, all of her organs, we looked at blood flow to all of her organs and to the placenta, we even got to see the lens of her eyes! Everything was completely normal, and the doctor even said she looks exceptionally healthy! The dr. believes the high test result was caused by the subchorionic hematoma I had earlier in pregnancy. They offered amnio but I opted against it because of the risks. The only bad news we got is that because of the high afp I am at a higher risk for preterm labor and preeclampsia/ and or other problems in the third trimester. Since I'm already at risk for preterm labor after having preterm labor with my daughter I will have to get ultrasounds in the third trimester to check for growth and I will be on restriction. This dr. felt like I shouldn't be exercising at all for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Thanks again ladies for all the thoughts and prayers! And congrats and FX for all those gender scans I hope everyone gets what they want!
 
Yay Brit!!! I'm so happy for you. Soooo glad it all went well for you and your little vayda. Happy rest of 9 months for you xxx
 
yay Brit! excellent news!! So glad all is well!! :dance:

I had my AFP done today as well as the GTT....though I have read AFP is higher in triplet pregnancies so hopefully they won't try and scare me too much if the results are high.

Yes the dr I saw today said that afp can be really high in multiple pregnancies but that its totally normal :thumbup:
 
Here is an ultrasound picture from my 18 week apt today. Congratulations to those who just found out the gender! :flower: Dr. you look fantastic! I'm waiting to post a proper bump but its definitely there now.

This is probably the most random question so far :blush: but has anyone else noticed changes in their belly button yet? I've heard of women"s belly button popping out during late pregnancy. But I noticed mine looks different already, its like more open I guess you can say? Used to be more of like a slit, now when looking in a mirror it is perfectly round and I can see to the back of it. I'm sure it's from my belly stretching out, just thought it was interesting how it looks so different already :haha:

One thing I don't like is since I seem to have a deep belly button I have researched online and that's probably the reason why I have a "double belly" look, instead of a perfectly round baby bump it caves in a bit at my belly button. I've heard some women say it never smoothed out for them. I would love to have a round belly but obviously in the scheme of things it doesn't really matter. I just feel like I look lumpy and overweight instead of pregnant :dohh:
Anyone else having this problem?
 
M belly button was always a deep innie, and in each pregnancy it just stretched and got shallow; it never popped or was even close to popping.

Brit, Glad your scan went well after all that :)

I called the midwife this morning, and left a message on the answer machine. I've been breathless the past couple of weeks, and I asked my MIL, who before she retired was the head midwife here. She said its probably nothing, but it could be linked to anaemia. I had my bloods done at 16wks, and they said they'd call me if there were any problems, and they haven't. The thing is, even when I'm not pregnant I'm borderline anaemic, and when I'm pregnant it gets worse. This is the first time I haven't been called and asked to take extra iron, so I was already dubious about it. My MIL said to get checked out, perhaps have BP taken again and maybe more bloods if they deem it necessary.

6 days until our scan! :D
 
Brit that is such good news! Your scan sounds amazing!

Wantabelly I love your scan!
 
Wantabelly great pic of your lo!

DHBH I also have a deep innie. During my last pregnancy my. Belly button looked so strange! It half popped the top was an innie the bottom an outie and was really flat looking. However I had my appendix removed when I was 24 so I have a scar on the bottom of my belly button and that may have been the reason why that part popped out. My belly goes out right at my belly button too bc that's where my uterus is. I think your belly will round out once your uterus is a couple inches above your belly button :flower:

Kaicee good luck on your gender scan today! Sending you pink dust!

Lara I felt out of breath twice with my last pregnancy and it was really scary I had no idea it could be caused by anemia I hope you get that resolved soon!

Oh and I forgot to mention that during the scan yesterday baby Vayda was awake and kicking and rolling for the first 30 mins or so and then she curled up into a little ball and went to sleep! The ultrasound tech has to push on my belly to wake her up it was so adorable! It's amazing how much they already act like a little person at this stage.
 
Congrats to all you ladies who have had your gender scans and :hugs: to those who didn't get what they wanted.

My due date was changed to December 18th if that could please be changed on the front page. :)

I have my 20 week scan on August 1st and hopefully we will be able to find out the gender....I'm so nervous already :wacko: then we leave to go on vacation to Disney world on August 3rd. I think I'm just as excited as my girls haha
