mommyof2 - YES my hubby made the comment, they are going to see all your poop on the scan! Ugh. Yes that's true they will. Managed to go this morning though! I think stool softener will have to be part of my daily regimen!

 

[mommyof2peas]

I took some stool softener then ate a bacon cheese burger lol that seemed to help clear out a bit. But I cant eat that every day.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Kozmik, have you had your scan?

mommy, GL on Thurs!!


AFM: Last night DH and I decided on our baby names! Remi Louise for a baby girl and Lyle Alphonse for a baby boy!

 

[KozmikKitten]

I love the name Remi! I like both your chosen names.

My scan is in an hour. Not sure if I will be able to update tonight or if it will be in the morning!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Thank you and FX'd for you that all is well and you see little beans HB!

 

[zmzerbe]

Kozmik, Can't wait for the update!

Navy, I love those names! DH and I are working out names too. I lovvvvee the name Ellis Steven and DH Loves either Sterling or Archer (can you tell he likes the show?)
For a girl, he still likes the name we picked out for DS if he had been a girl, but I have mixed feelings only because I feel like that was DS's name... and if we use it for our next baby then I don't feel like we put our minds to their greatest potential... Izabella Monroe was the name we picked out for DS. I also love Willow, but DH always sings, "i whip my hair back and forth" when I bring it up. I have a few others too but DH has said no way to them all.

 

[NavyLadybug]

I loved Ellery for a boy or girl, which is what Ellis reminds me off. Also I have no idea what the connection between Willow and that tune is sooo.... haha I'm lost there

 

[zmzerbe]

haha Willow Smith is the little girl that sang that song.

 

[zmzerbe]

I really want him to narrow down some names with me! lol I want some really cute unisex names as well.

 

[mommyof2peas]

If its a girl it will be Temperance Grace and for a boy Oliver Henry .

 

[NavyLadybug]

That a pretty girl name, mommy, a double "virtue" name of sorts and I LOVE both of the names for your boy pick!

FX'd for your scan!! Hopefully little bean waves for its momma!!

I'm doing alright, exhausted and stressed over my gestational hypertension (I'm going to the Dr 5 times this week for a daily check) and she's already wanting to disgnose me with Pre-E because I had it with my son and my blood pressure was 161/100 at my last visit when normally it is in the 115/75 range.

Hi! I have never heard of some one having pre E in first tri. Do you have protein in ur urine or swelling? If not it's probably just ur nerves. There's a couple of blood pressure meds you can go on during pregancy, I am on them now with this one due to pre-existing hypertension.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Hello Cornfield!

It's not common in the first trimester, it most often occurs after 18 weeks (like with my son) but some women (Especially those with a history of Gestational Hypertension and Pre-E like myself) can develop it earlier in their pregnancies, right now she basically wants to do preventative measures. We haven't done a protein test yet, that comes at the end of the week but I have had swelling in my feet and hands (Luckily not my face yet, last time that was the sign of the turning point and my son was born that day by emergency c-section) I will also be placed on meds at the end of the week, dosage is going to be determined by my results. It didn't do much good for my pregnancy with DS, I'm hoping it has a better effect this time around since we're starting it earlier.

Good morning ladies!
Had my scan last night and baby is looking great so far! Measuring 6+3 and HB of 150.
My MD offered me weekly scans, which I turned down (much to my own surprise!). I decided to just wait until the already-scheduled 10 week scan to check on baby again.
She said she is considering me high risk until I get out of 1st tri (since all my losses were in 1st tri).
Hubby and I are still planning on waiting until after the 10 week scan to tell anyone (parents included) so we'll see if I can keep it in that long!

 

[jtink28]

Wonderful news Kozmik!! Yay!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Woohoo, Kozmik!!! So glad everything is perfect!

 

[firsttimer123]

Yay kozmik!!!

 

[NDTaber9211]

Scan is in 2.5 hours. I am admit I'm freaking out a bit. Trying to stay positive but it's hard. I just really hope little bean is there this time.

 

[KozmikKitten]

Hang in there Taber - we are all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!
