April Diamonds!! [2016 Rainbows]

[zmzerbe]

You guys are so young!! I was born in 1980!!

What are you talking about? You're still young too!

 

[zmzerbe]

Oh my goodness... My favorite drink place is a smoothie place called Tropical Smoothie Cafe (I think they are somewhat of a chain so you may have heard of them) but my favorite smoothie of theirs is called the Island Green. It has spinach, Kale, Pineapple, Mango and Bananas. Today I walked by there and thought, "Yum, a smoothie sounds good and sounds like it would settle my stomach." Much to my surprise, when I went to order my Island Green, I found a new one called the Detox Island Green, which is the same exact thing, PLUS Ginger! I ordered it and it's delicious and helped settle my stomach. My only complaint is I don't care for the spiciness of ginger.

Jtink you're young too!

Oh that's awesome, Zmzerbe!!! I'm in the ravenous stage of my cravings, I'm just hungry ALL the time

 

[jtink28]

35 is not young to the OB! i'm a "geriatric pregnancy!" heheee

 

[NavyLadybug]

Bah! 35 is the first age to be considered "Advanced Maternal Age", you're still a spring chicken! Haha

 

[jtink28]

well, either way, i get special treatment for a few reasons - i'm 35, i have crohn's disease, i'm on a class C med, and i had a previous c-section. i get great service at my high-risk OB. hehe!

 

[NavyLadybug]

I feel that! Special treatment is nice, even thought the price sucks (Not meaning money)

My record is:
T-DOM PCOS
2 Class C meds + Progesterone
Previous emergency C-section
Severe gestational hypertension (With Pre-Eclampsia with DS)
Recurrent Loss/MC History

Pretty sure my new OB and midwife are gonna be in for a small shock when they see me on Fri. I got a call from my Dr confirming my appt and asked if I had questions (I did) and he said, "Well with your high risk status, coupled with your age..... blah blah blah" and I said "My age?" and he said, "Yes, higher ages increase the risk of certain problems which is why we will monitor you so closely." He apparently didn't read my complete chart, I didn't bother to correct him and say I was only 22, I want to see his face when I have to confirm my birth date.

Sophie, sweety, I haven't seen you on here in a few days, is everything ok?

 

[Hopeful Cat]

Hey ladies, i had my first ultrasound today at 6 1/2 weeks and i saw my one little tiny baby measuring 0.41cm with a beating heart at 120bpm! I am in love!! 😆. My specialist gave me two obstetrician names so i have yo figure out how and what happens now...unchartered territory for me

 

[NavyLadybug]

Woohoo, Hopeful!!! How wonderful!!!!

 

[NDTaber9211]

Yay for heartbeat!

 

[NDTaber9211]

I'm starting to get really anxious now. I have less than a week until my scan. I'm SO scared it's going to be bad. I'm still so broken hearted from the mmc in June.

 

[ksierra44]

Yay for heartbeat! The Chinese thing couldnt decide on a gender for me either! I understand being worried. Ive been praying a lot and telling every one i know to pray for me and the baby. The main reason I'm telling people our new is to ask for prayer.

 

[Sophie2015]

Sophie, sweety, I haven't seen you on here in a few days, is everything ok?

Hi Navy. I'm here. Thank you for checking on me. I've been lurking, reading, trying to stay caught up. But I'm soooo tired I sleep a lot. Plus feeling stressed. My 2nd ultrasound is tomorrow. It was good last week but so worried it won't be again tomorrow. I'll be 7+5.

Congrats to all the ladies with good scans!!

Fx to all those still waiting for scans.

So very sorry for your losses Sweety and Beneathmywings. I've been there twice. Words just don't help right now. Thinking of and praying for both of you.

 

[Sophie2015]

Anyone else having awful headaches? I had them with my mmc's and so afraid I'm about to have my 3rd mmc. Hoping if someone else has them too maybe it's normal?!

 

[firsttimer123]

Wow you guys are young!! I am thinking back to my early twenties and I wS def not ready to be a wife and mommy!! Still in university and very self centred! Kudos to you guys, you must be very mature.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Taber, I know that feeling as well. Two parts of me are saying two different things, my brain is preparing me for the worst, but my heart is hopeful there will be a baby and a heartbeat.

ksierra, looks like you, me and Zmzerbe are the mystery bunch hahaha

Sophie, headaches are completely normal pregnancy symptoms, it has to do with not only the increase in hormones but also the increase in bloods level (You may have already known that) but when I got pregnant with DS and they learned I had migraines, they told me to be prepared as they may get worse with pregnancy and boy oh boy did they. Good luck at your ultrasound, I hope you get some pictures to show us!!

Firsttimer, I've been married since I was 16 (DS was born 3 hours before my 20th bday) so you could say I got an early start haha I grew up raising my 5 siblings so getting married and starting a family was like a no brainer to me haha People call me stupid and crazy but I'm happy with my choice, so they can stuff it haha

 

[NDTaber9211]

Navy- that's exactly how I am to. I hope symptoms kick in soon and give me a little encouragement.

I'm 28, about to be 29 in a couple of days. We've been trying to have kids since I was 24.

 

[firsttimer123]

Hey taber I am 27, been trying since 26. Hopefully these are going to be our first sticky beans!!

 

[KozmikKitten]

Hopeful - so happy for your successful scan!

Sophie - fingers crossed you have a great scan!
