**April Bunnies 2015**

[bump2be]

O.k. this is weird, but does anyone find the colour scheme on baby and bump makes you feel nauseous? I find it exacerbating my ms!!

 

[maggz]

Well for some reason I don't feel very pregnant today. Felt really good earlier and my boobs are barely sore at all and not swollen, only had one slight wave of nausea but I'm trying to remind myself that symptoms can come and go but it's making me anxious. I can not wait to get my friends Doppler. I hope I can find baby when I do. Maybe I should book a scan at that place near me. Guess I'll just pray to
Get sick later lol.

I feel exactly the same way today! It's making me so anxious.... :/ Don't know what to do cause I know there's nothing I CAN do except wait it out... Wish I could just sleep this day away.

 

[sigh]

Thanks ladies. It has been quite a day for us. I went to my OB appointment and she did a transvaginal ultrasound and found 2 things that looked like cysts but no baby. She said it looked like a blighted ovum and gave me a prescription to induce the miscarriage. She told me to wait to fill it because she wants me to have 1 more blood draw and sent me to a radiologist who specializes in women's health because their machine might be better. I got a same day appointment and drove straight there and they found a baby with a heartbeat!! The baby is measuring 5 W 5 days which makes no sense because I found out I was pregnant on August 20th (3 weeks ago) and that would put my HCG for 4 weeks at 8500 which is very high. They found more fluid that they are calling a "collection of blood" but I'm wondering if it may have been a twin (that would explain the high hcg and early positive on the test).

So long story short, I may have to leave you ladies, but it's because it looks like I have a May baby instead of an April one

 

[citymouse]

Oh, wow, Sigh! How do they explain the early pregnancy test? If it were twins at one point maybe that would give you a stronger result super early?

What a rollercoaster of emotions... so glad they found the heartbeat!

 

[TaraCathryn]

Sigh, oh my goodness! What a roller coaster you have been on!! I am so glad for you that you got such unexpected good news. That really must be a little miracle baby. Best of luck, and if you go to the May group, keep in touch here from time to time.

I couldn't sleep last night either. It does feel like pregnancy-induced insomnia! Which has got to be the last thing any of us needs! I'm going to have to take a unisom tonight or I'll be a wreck for my scan tomorrow. I can't believe it's finally here! I'm super nervous. I just really hope everything is okay.

Sigh- I am so glad they found the heartbeat and sorry that you had to go through 2 different rounds of people telling you that you were miscarrying. And then to find out it was because their machine wasn't very good. At my ultrasound last week they used one transducer and couldn't see anything, and I had about 5 minutes of worrying if I miscarried before they said it was a bad transducer. That was horrible enough.

Insomnia here too! I wake up in the middle of the night for the bathroom and then it takes me 1-2 hours to go back to sleep. This week is crazy at work, so I can't work from home, but I would love to so I could slip in a nap. Maybe then I could stay awake past 9...

 

[GreyGirl]

Wow sigh - what a rollercoater ride! I'm glad it was a positive end result

Thank you for all your condolences about my dog, I'm gutted but I know it's the right thing for him and that's what matters.

Tonight I had that private scan I mentioned. The baby was fine, measuring 9+4 instead of the 8+5 I thought I was! Is it often inaccurate at this early stage? I'd happily be ahead! That brings my current EDD to 10/04/15!

Here's my little bean

I got moved 8 days ahead with my first daughter - I used OPKs and we only DTD once so I know when she was conceived! It was at 11 weeks I measured 8 days ahead though x

Did you get moved back later on for was the 8 days ahead right?! That's a lot! We only DTD twice and I don't think either was enough for 9 weeks odd! I'll go with it until my 12 week scan which will hopefully be more accurate.

 

[RebeccaR19]

Thanks for the input regarding my question about private scans! I thought they might be in the U.S. what Dini first mentioned. The only thing I could think of that would be a possibility here to get your own personal scan was the 3D/4D ultrasound place which would be about $80 for me at the cheapest. I got one of those with my son when he was 17 weeks. Found out I was having a boy before my scheduled ultrasound, but he looked like an alien at that stage. I plan to get another one this time around, but I want to wait until after 20 weeks for it. We'll see if I am patient enough to hold out.

GreyGirl- Sorry to hear about your dog. But it's nice you got such a great scan picture. Congratulations!

TaraCathryn- Good luck tomorrow! I'll be checking here to see your update.

Button- Your comment about the 2 rodents was hilarious!

Dini- I started having "I don't feel pregnant" days right at 8 weeks. But then I'd get reminder symptoms. I think it's just your body adjusting to changes in the pregnancy.

I just woke up from a 1-hour nap and I feel hungover. I thought it would make me feel better. Oh well!

 

[AmeliePoulain]

No they didn't change my dates - at 20weeks she was smallish (20th centile) but not alarmingly so.

My BFP with her at 11dpo was blazing though, I think she honestly implanted early and that made my dates wacky. My other daughter by my ov dates was due on 28 Feb but all scans showed her as being due 23 Feb. So 5 days ahead.

I think I have short fallopean tubes or something!

 

[Dini]

Rebecca I think we will get one of those scans as well but not sure when. And thanks for the reassurance about the disappearing symptoms. I know it's probably nothing but will be so thankful when they return!

Sigh, I'm so happy for you! Omg so glad you did go to the specialist! I bet it could've been a twin.

Maggz I feel the same way, wish I could sleep it away and wake up sick! Lol so weird us pregnant girls are aren't we?!

 

[sarahok]

Well, I'm not an expert, but it occurred to me that while you may know the one day you DTD, that doesn't mean that you ovulated that day. The spermies may have been hanging out for a day or two waiting on the egg. But that doesn't really make sense as to why you would be measuring large. I don't know! On my first scan baby was measuring 3 days ahead, but the yolk sac was right on top of the baby in the picture and interfering with the measurements I think, because on this last scan it was only 1 day ahead.

Tara...excited for your scan! Good luck!

Love seeing all these good positive scans! Keep up the good work, ladies!

 

[sharnw]

Very pleased for you sigh x

 

[Oswin]

GreyGirl yay for the scan!! At this early stage they always say measurements are only accurate to plus or minus 5 days. Plus all babies grow differently, how they measure is an average, so some babies will be bigger and some smaller. I'm the opposite, I grow babies slow at first, then fast and big

Dini - not sure if you saw my post, but just wanna add another reassurance that I started feeling a bit not pregnant around 8 odd weeks

 

[Dini]

I did see it and thank you so much oswin! I am going to try to relax but don't think I will until the symptoms come back. I had the energy tonight to make lasagna, garlic bread and blueberry muffins. That's also very odd but it was very good!

 

[northern_me]

So glad that everything seems to be ok for everyone!

I ate meat today and didn't vomit! I feel like this should be marked down as a huge life milestone for me. Big deal after all these weeks!

When I was at work today I felt this big bubble-like feeling move horizontally across my lower abdomen right where baby is. Maybe it was gas, maybe it was a somersault. Who knows? 11 weeks tomorrow on a second pregnancy. What do you think? Gas or a flutter?

 

[sigh]

I felt my 1st at about 12 weeks and no one believed me but I know what I felt! She actually kicked me (very hard) super early too at 16 weeks. Exciting that you might be feeling it this early!

 

[Perplexed]

Kalabear- we are staying team yellow this time. My DH even told me that if I were to find out the gender not to tell him I think it's obvious which one of us may break down first (me!).

button- lol the two rodent thing

Rebecca- I know what you mean about 3d/4d scans...my old ob had a 4d ultrasound machine and she would turn the 4d setting on at any given moment. earlier on it was kinda scary to me, even later, as some parts don't show too well and my DH thought there was something wrong with baby's arm!! at the later months I told her there was no need to use 4d anymore if it's just to get pictures for me. I wanted to be surprised by the way baby girl looks

Dini- I think it's as oswin said. I started feeling better recently too. no nausea at all yesterday until night time came. I am cramping too which worried be but I told DH that I'm going to assume the best: bean must be growing and my uterus needs to expand a bit which is why I'm cramping. I was very nauseous last night and still nauseous this morning so I'll take that as assurance!

northern- I'm glad you could eat today! those could definitely be flutters. I hope they are!

sigh- I'm so glad that you got the specialist appointment on the same day and were given the good news! congrats!!

 

[Dini]

Thanks perplexed. I'm hoping to wake up nauseated tomorrow lol, I could do the every other day thing!

Northern I'm so glad you are feeling better! And who know, that totally could have been your bean swimming around in there!

I'm trying my best to be positive, but what has me worried the most is my breasts actually seem to have shrunk some. But I think they did that a week or two ago as well so I'm sure I'm being anxious for no reason.
