Almost 44 final ttc journey -- buddies needed : )

[TTC74]

I have some cramping that started yesterday. It's very possible that it could just be uterine stretching (hopefully), but it freaked me out nonetheless. I have an ultrasound appointment later to see what's going on. I am SO nervous.

 

[CaliDreaming]

My bet is that it's uterine stretching. Hopefully the ultrasound today will put you at ease. I know I always felt nervous and a whirlwind of emotions before a scan no matter what so I hope time flies by for you today. Second tri can't come fast enough1!

 

[TTC74]

I know that's right! I feel like it's a freaking gauntlet to make it into the second trimester with positive genetic test results. I'll feel like a new person when I reach that stage!

TTC keep us posted. Cramping without bleeding is usually normal. I'm sure your little one is fine in there. Just growing.

I had horrible cramps! So bad the sweat was running down my face! I was so worried and this is how I found BnB where I was told it was normal. All was well with me and my twin boys are perfect (even if I say so myself ) FX all is well with you too!

^^^^ THIS!! Exactly how I feel. Everyday I wake up and have to talk myself off the "I'll probably mc today" ledge. And of course my 3rd pregnancy I made it to the 2nd tri only to receive a diagnosis of Downs. I might be certified crazy by the time I hit 13 weeks this time.

 

[TTC74]

Heart rate solid at 171!

 

[CaliDreaming]

YES!!!! I'm so happy for you!! Isn't it the best feeling after a scan and everything is perfect?? Especially after all the pre-scan jitters!

 

[AngelUK]

Aw wonderful news!

 

[Sophie2015]

Woohoo!! I've drained the battery on my phone watching for news from you. So so happy!!

 

[TTC74]

Thanks ladies! And yes! I feel wonderful now. I have an apt for intake with my OB next Thursday.

 

[Sophie2015]

I can't wait to see a HB. Woke up with breasts less sore (almost not at all), no constipation today, and started having mild cramps 2 hours ago. This first trimester may be the death of me yet. I'm a bundle of nerves. The thought of losing a 5th baby is unfathomable.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but don't panic. Symptoms come and go by the day. It doesn't mean that there is something wrong just bc you have a low/no symptom day.

I know. I remember with my 3rd baby last summer walking into my first ultrasound appt at 6.3 weeks saying I just knew there wasn't a HB because I'd lost my breast tenderness the week before. And she was fine in there. So hopefully all is well.

I am just getting to know everyone but Sophie I didn't realize you had children already, what are everyone's ages and how many, if any kids do you have.

I just turned 40 and I have a one year old she is the light of my life!

Jenny I don't. I've had 4 losses. I think my last post was misleading. Baby #3 is the only pregnancy that ever had a heartbeat. She was fine until 15 weeks. Then we lost her. She had Down Syndrome. I'm 43 (almost 44). Been TTC since 2013 with nothing but gray hair, wrinkles, and tears to show for it.

 

[TTC74]

That's so sad, Sophie. I'm terrified of my genetic screening results for that reason.

Oh trust me. If I even make it that far I'll be a total wreck the week I have that blood work drawn.

TTC- Didn't your betas start off low? I'm concerned mine are too low.

 

[TTC74]

I don't remember how high they were on each day but yes. They were not spectacularly high like some.

 

[Sophie2015]

Waiting on my 3rd beta results. It's gonna be a long day.
