[August79]

So so sorry to hear this Pink. Massive hugs to you! Please feel free to PM if you need to vent.

 

[DaisyBee]

Pink.... I am so sorry!

 

[danamm64]

Sorry Pink! Hugs!
!
I get my nuchal Monday...decided i am only doing it bc insurance covers 100 %. Gives me an excuse to see baby! I would never abort either so i dont really care what the results say!

 

[Mrs. J]

I'm so sorry pink! We are all here for you!!

We had our NT testing yesterday, it was so great to see the baby! Like danamm, we just did it bc insuranc covered it 100%! Unfortunetly, baby wouldn't move off of its' stomach, so we couldn't see between the legs! Pictures are in my journal. Next up, gender scan at 15 weeks!

Everyone else doing okay?

 

[Nat0619]

Pink, I am so so sorry hun, I don't know what to say

2 days until my 12 week scan, am panicking a bit

[JPARR01]

So sorry for your loss Pink!

Had our NT scan on Monday and everything was perfect! Baby was wiggling and jiggling all around. So incredible!
On Monday I was 11w2d but baby was measuring 11w6d.

 

[DaisyBee]

I had an appt on monday and they did an ultrasound as couldn't find baby with Doppler. Today I went back in as thinking I have a uti. They did another ultrasound! So 2 (quick) ultrasounds in a week! Dh is a bit bummed as he didn't see either one. I didn't get any pics either. Saw bean jumping around today, Monday he/she was sleeping.

My bp is looking fantastic for now! I go back in a month.

Pink, I'm so sorry to hear of your news. I hope you are recovering okay after your surgery! I hope you will be able to get some testing done, and get some answers.

Everyone's scan pics look great! Lucky Daisy having 2 scans in one week! My next appt. is on the 10th of Oct. I'm not sure if I'll get another scan or not. I think if I asked my Dr. would give me one. She is fantastic like that! She said at my last appt. when I was 10 weeks, that my next appt. was in 4 weeks, but I could come sooner if I would like!

I've found my baby a few times on my doppler, but today the baby was not cooperating.

Hi Ladies

Our scan went great Baby was jumping around and waving and turned to face us at the end, could see the little face So, so relieved! Baby measured 11w4d, so has gained 2 days from early scan so due date now Monday 16th April.

Here's a pic of our little one

 

[dimplesmagee]

Great pic!!! Glad everything is going well!!!

 

[danamm64]

Well Ladies, my nuchal was all good! And I was 11 weeks 4 days, but baby measured 12 weeks 1 day, so new due date is April 15th=)

Bad news is that my blood pressure was a little high and now my doc has scared me into believing I am going to have pre eclampsia. He is testing mmy kidney and liver functions and sending me to a high risk doctor. My bp was 140/88. I didnt even think that was super high. I am so nervous now!

How is everyone else doing? Are we glad that many of us are going to our second trimester pretty soon??

 

[DaisyBee]

Glad scans are going well! I'm already in 2nd tri I think 13 weeks is 2nd tri.... Not 14 weeks.

I have borderline bp issues normally. Right now my bp has been lower though (107/70 & 122/70!) which is unheard of for me normally and which it was during this part of pregnancy with Megan too. They say it usually goes down a bit during 2nd tri. My normal towards the end of pregnancy with Megan was 160's/100 and it never resulted in pe. But high bp can cause growth issues so if your bp stays higher but you don't get protein they will still monitor you close. I didn't have to switch drs but stayed with my normal ob drs. And one high bp can be a total fluke! Surprised they have you worried if tthis is your first higher reading. ( and that reading is not super high, but if you are normally lower then they look at it more)

 

[Nat0619]

Hi Ladies

Danamm, sorry your doc has got your worrying As Daisy says, it could be just one fluke higher reading, particularly if you were nervous about anything when it was taken. For example, was it taken before your scan? Were you nervous for the scan?

I've only had mine taken once so far this pregnancy, very early on about 7 weeks when I first saw midwife, and it was 100/60 or something. Lower than my usual but my BP tends to always be slightly lower than 120/80. Presume I'll get mine done again when I next see midwife on 28th Oct

Have any of you ladies got a bump yet? x

 

[Mrs. J]

Nat, great picture!

Danamm~ wonderful news about the NT results! Mine came back normal, too! I measured 2 days ahead, but I don't want to change my due date bc its' April fools day

Nat, I certianly have a bump! I've had one for a while! Mostly bloating, I'd say, but its hard for the most part.

 

[NuKe]

hi ladies... just dipping a toe in here to say hiya

:wave:

I was on blood pressure meds for 4 years, until recently when my meds. were giving me severe fatigue...so I am currently off of them. My blood pressure has been as low as yours Daisy, which is also unheard of for me! So, not sure if the pregnancy is playing a roll in that. I will see a different Dr. for monthly ultrasounds to watch the growth of the baby. I had no issues with my son. Danam...your blood pressure wasn't THAT high so, sorry they had you freaking out. Your blood pressure is always a little higher at the office anyway. It was probably nothing, but it's nice to be on the safe side! Don't worry too much! When I went on meds. my BP was in the 150s/100s and this was consistent over a few months.

I too have a nice bump going! Everyone knows now, from my bump alone.

Still puking....sigh.

14 weeks monday, w/ another Drs. appt. Been able to hear my baby's HB all the time now on my doppler. It never gets old!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[Nat0619]

I want a bump! I just still have the same little belly I've always had, it's no different yet Mind you, I am slightly behind some of you girlies, am not 13 weeks yet. Plus it is my first and I understand you can show later then?

Have a good weekend girlies

 

[danamm64]

Thanks everyone for the advice about the bp. I will get my results tomorrow for my kidney and liver function and to find out if there is any protein in my urine. The doc said if I do not hear anything-then it was all good. I am still going to call bc they have me so nervous! The doc did say if everything checks out ok, then he will just put me on bp meds. It was my second high reading...but the first high one was before my nuchal (which they realized I was too early for) and then my second high reading was right before my real nuchal! So of course I was nervous! Ill know more tomorrow=)

As for a bump..mine literally just appeared out of nowhere yesterday! I am so happy! I am overweight though, so I am sure people are wondering if I am really "that fat" or pregnant lol. I attached a pic of my bump lol
