Miss kseniya praying that it all works out for you.

Yeah I think so lora, I'm not really sure

So, here is something cute I think. DH just had a talk with my belly telling them that it's super great that mommy found their heartbeats and that they sound strong. But, would they please hurry up and pop out completely from behind the pelvic bone and become a proper bump. Because it would make mommy feel a lot better if she felt she looked pregnant and not FAT!!! He then kissed my belly and said good chat lets do it more often kids.

That has to be one of the cutest stories I've read!! What a sweetie!!!!! Def the kin of daddy you'll need with twins! Sooo cute! And I want a Doppler so bad I wish u could buy them in town and not wait to have them shipped

Yay 1 gorgeous little baby in there with a lovely strong heartbeat measuring 5 days ahead at 8+2

I missed being on here today and sooo much happened! What a beautiful baby! We're all soooo close in dates!! It's so exciting to compare!!

I feel too normal today.... Bit worried.
Only felt mildly sick when I woke up and don't feel so tired :/

 

[Tower6]

Ms kseniya- brown isn't bad only red. When will u get a scan or at least a chance to hearthe hb? I'm thinking of you!

Congrats to everyone with good news and those with scans I just read so many Pgs I can't remember all the details.

I did hear something promising today! My best friend has a 4 month old and she went to my midwives clinic and she showed me the nt scan she had at 12 weeks and thy did I in 3d! She said they switch bak and forth for you AND that because she was havin a boy and it was so clear that she found out at 12.5 weeks!!! I will be exactly 12.5 weeks on my scan which is April 24th. I would be so beyond excited to see the baby in 3d but even more excited to even get an educate guess in the sex!! ooooh I love all the technology advances between now and all 3 prior pregnancies I've had

It could mean that we're having boys... I've only thrown up once and been nauseas a total of 4 times- solved by eating. I was soooooo sick with my girls. Will be fun to see if there's any truth to it! I do worry too some point everyday because I don't have sore boobs or sickness (unless I don't eat ) and my energy is back a little more than it was but not totally yet so I do get scared too but I'm hoping we're just pushing on to second tri!!

I've been really sick from 5 weeks! That's why it's weird for me to not have my head down the loo today!
I suppose 4 weeks of ms is enough... It'll probably be back tomorrow

Miss kseniya, hope the spotting has stopped by now, huge to you, I know how scary spotting can be. Can you see if you could get an early scan? :Hugs: again xxxx

 

[miss_kseniya]

Thanks girls

I'm probably worrying about nothing as it has only been like brown discharge/cm really and not loads, just a few times when I wiped. I think it was just the dream that really unsettled me that's all. My dreams are so real and vivid at the moment so to dream of a miscarriage isn't pleasant at all.

I already had my early scan booked for Tuesday at 10am anyway so I haven't got too long to wait. Will keep an eye on it though and call EPU if it actually does turn pink or red or I get any cramping.

try not to worry hun, on my first pregnancy i had pink spotting i was terrified but everything was ok and he is now 8. On both my actual mc's i never bled, they were discovered on scans. Im sure everything is fine. Dreaming of mc must be awful. x

How is everyone doing today? I am exhausted from tossing and turning all night again. But, it's to be expected I realize. I stay stong all day long then when I lay down and try to rest I start praying hard and worrying that there won't be two strong babies growing in my belly and that we won't see their heartbeats next week. My real concern is that I have read what to expect at your first OB appointment and EVERYTHING says they do a pap smear to make sure everything is ok. Well, I HATE PAP SMEARS!!! More than the usual woman. I cramp worse than AF and spot/bleed for at least 3 days after every one I have ever had. Plus, when they scrape the cells off I can feel it and I throw up EVERY time. I am scared to get the pap done. any US ladies know if they let you opt out of the pap?
Pregnancy symptom wise I feel great for the most part. I have discomfort like being squished if I sit up for too long. And I am not peeing so much anymore, but when I feel the need to go I am in pain like i have been holding it for so long though I haven't been. No other pain when I go or anything so I am not worried about a UTI. I am starting to worry about the state insurance too now. The paperwork they said would only take about a week to get in the mail with my info so that I can give it to the hospital so I can see these doctors. It has been over a week and still not here!!! If I don't have the papers before next Wednesday I can not see the OB, get all of my blood test drawn for OB and Endocrinologist nor get my prescription for my insulin. I am stressing YES!!! sorry for the vent I just need those papers to get here asap then I think I will relax a whole lot.

 

[3boys]

peanutmomma i hope the papers come soon. i would hate if i had to have a smear at my first appointment, we dont have them during pregnancy here. No one can do anything to your body without your say so, i would imagine you can just say no. Dont be forced into anything you dont want. x

 

[Gemie]

No we don't have smears during pregnancy in the uk as the results can be wrong. I always wonders why you American ladies get them.

 

[MandaAnda]

A smear can wait until a few weeks after delivery. There is no need to have one right now. It's crazy the obsession with internals during pregnancy in the US. I'm American but am so glad to live in the UK where birth is so much less medicalised. I'd end up shouting at OBs in the US. It's your body, hun. If you say no, then it's no. There is no "let" or "allow" unless it's coming from you.

 

[LoraLoo]

Miss K I have no experience with bleeding but heard brosn is old blood so ok, I hope this is the case and that the scan on tue puts your mind at rest a little.

Peanut, agree with the other ladies, just say no if you dont want to xxx

 

[Dazed125]

Hi girls, gosh it takes some time to catch up on all your posts in here!!

MissK - can't wait to see your scan pic Tues

Peanut - I agree with the other ladies, if you don't want the test, tell them so, it's your body and you know what is best for you, good luck Hun

Talking of our bodies and us knowing what's best (mini rant incoming) why does EVERYONE suddenly have an opinion on what's best when I give birth. I am an educated woman in her thirties, yet my mother (who is usually very supportive) just gave me what felt like a massive lecture because I said I wanted an epidural. Now I understand the pros and cons, have spoken to friends who have had them and friends who haven't, understand that it makes the birth time longer etc etc and but geez IT'S MY CHOICE. It's as if I'd just suggested I would like to murder someone (which is not far from the truth some days hehe)

Rant over
Xx

Yes you will find you get advice on the birth, and also how to bring up your child And if you dont agree? You'll get this response 'Well thats what we did, and it never did our kids any harm!' lol, I just brush it off!

Is anyone missing alcohol yet? I usually miss it in pregnancy- Im not a massive drinker but i like a couple of glasses on a Saturday night to chill out, but I'm not missing it what so ever this time round! x
