Glad scan went well. I'm getting better but still hacking up brown stuff periodically, which is lovely.

Here's my little bean! The ultrasound went great and I was able to see the baby's heartbeat. She dated me 3 days later so I'm 7 weeks on Sat. She said the corpus luteum looked nice and round and that all is well so far. A great thing, b/c I'm over 35, is that I can have the Harmony prenatal blood test at 10 weeks to test for Downs (trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (trisommy 18) & Patau syndrome (trisomy 13) along w/the sex of the baby!! So NO Amniocentesis and I'll know the sex about 8 weeks sooner. EDD is 11/14 but I hope the baby comes 11/11, I just like the date.

 

[MissyMojo]

Thanks ladies.

Wantabelly- I don't have any symptoms expect for some nausea here and there but I didn't with my last either. I've had (tmi) very loose bm but that's the only other odd thing. Yes and I fall asleep on the couch around 9:30.

just really tired

 

[Trying4BbyBoy]

Tiredness & bigger and sore bbs

 

[lomelindi17]

Wantabelly I've just been tired and bbs big and sore, gained 3 or 4 pounds but that's about it. Slight food aversion to eggs today, think I've been eating too many. And my sense of smell is definitely stronger, hubby thinks it's funny. Not having big symptoms doesn't worry me at all, I look at it as a good thing and am just thankful to be feeling good. I'm sure in the later stages of pregnancy I'll feel pregnant enough to make up for it haha. I do still "feel" pregnant, just have a sense of the changes that are happening, but I'm quite in tune with my body. I'm enjoying watching little things change here and there. I've been doing Reiki on myself every night as well to help everything be healthy. My philosophy is everything happens for a reason, so there's no point in worrying, doesn't help anyway lol. That and trusting in the wisdom of my body.

Congrats on your scans ladies! Looking good! So neat to see the little beans. Finally made an appointment with a midwife today, it's not until April 23, I'll be 10 weeks. I'm still seeing my regular ND and she did the first prenatal blood tests already, found out I have high TSH so she's doing additional tests to determine what's going on with my thyroid and put me on a supplement for that. Also have a MTHFR mutation so I need to take activated forms of folate and b-12. Good to find out early because it can increase the chance of adhd/autism/aspergers/etc in the baby if left unnoticed. Apparently it's very new science that is just being implemented, I'm not even sure I really understand it but that's what doctors are for haha.

Purple-- Such a cute little bean!

 

[littlesteph]

not much here, just a little tired and sore nipples.
jealous of all you ladies getting scans already lol
was told Tuesday it will be at least 2 weeks before I hear from a midwife, by which point i'll be 9 weeks.

 

[crazycatlady5]

Hope all the scans went ok. If it makes you feel better I've been ill for 6 weeks now on top of pregnancy symptoms.

I was sick with a terrible cold for about six weeks, actually dislocated my rib from coughing so much. Chiropractor thinks it may even be fractured!!! So I know your pain! Cough just starting to go away, right in time for nausea and exhaustion from pregnancy to take hold!

 

[Dollybird]

Morning ladies! Had my scan yesterday. Saw a sac and yolk measuring between 5-6 weeks (the never properly dated as just checking it wasn't ectooic). Sonographer says everything looks good.was a bit gutted I didn't see hb but I'm only 5+4 and they only did an abdominal scan not vaginal do it's no wonder I didn't really but I'm still disappointed. My next scan will be my 12 week one, it's booked for 14th may.. Ages away!!! Hubby says if I want a private scan before then then we can but I'm gonna try hold out as they are expensive and if rather keep that card up my sleeve for any worries later xxx

 

[ambernwxo]

Ahh I love looking at ultrasound pictures - it makes me so anxious for my appointment lol.

littlesteph - I'm right there with you, lol I'm ready to see it! I won't be going in until the 15th so I still have a couple weeks and some days to go - I'll be 8 weeks then.

 

[DHBH0930]

So glad your scans went well ladies!

I'm anxious to have my 1st scan too, probably will be early April

Symptoms here are MS (no throwing up, but non stop sick feeling unless I'm eating), fatigue, & bad gas

I want 1st tri to be over quickly so I can feel better agian, but also don't want it to go too fast since these are the last months of just me and dd and i want to enjoy it, but hard to when I feel crappy...

 

[Mrs_Bump]

My 12 week scan is on 27/4, so a months time. I got a 9:40 appt though which I'm thrilled about. It can take 45 mins and some aggression to get a parking space at the hospital later in the day.

 

[ksilme]

Well, I had my emergency scan today due to the bleeding. All went well, measuring as 7+1, which is only 2/3 days off my dates x
I am so relieved I feel like I can breathe again! They said if the bleeding continues, go back there or to the doc and they will refer me again. Also to get cervix checked if I can, my mum had a polyp on my sister and bled til 22 weeks. I have now told my step sister too, who is a midwife, and she said to see how the weekend goes and if I am still bleeding, then go to the gp and have a chat and/or get a referral. I think it must be something to do with cervix, or something that movement etc can effect because after the scan, I have been bleeding more heavily but they have been probing and poking around so kinda expected it. But just keep picturing that beautiful heartbeat xx apparently I have lovely ovaries too, probably the strangest compliment I have EVER received lol xx

 

[TexMel]

Glad to hear your bean is doing well, ksilme. Hopefully the bleeding will stop soon. Is it heavy or more like spotting?

 

[MissyMojo]

glad all is well at your scan

are any ladies in here still DTD ?

it does nothing for me in 1st tri but i feel so bad for hubby going from every other day/daily to once a week :/

 

[Tricks26]

Morning ladies,

Just a quick question I have an early scan on Tuesday as I have history of ectopic pregnancy what should I be seeing on an internal scan at 6 weeks 1 day ???
So scared real want everything to be ok !
