April Diamonds!! [2016 Rainbows]

[KozmikKitten]

And Sophie - thank you so much for what you do as a profession. I was out of my mind crazy after my son's birth and never had the mindset to thank the staff at the NICU. I wish I had been able to. They took care of my son (and ME!) during what was my worst nightmare. (And I totally know that the other parents had a much harder journey than we did!).

 

[Sophie2015]

Kitten- so it sounds like you'll stop baby Asa at 2nd trimester?!

 

[zmzerbe]

Lala I agree with everyone else. I really think everything is fine, just unfortunately tested too early.

Zmzerbe I'd be so annoyed! Sorry they are jerking you around so bad. Does this new place know you've not yet seen a doctor?

I have my next ultrasound today and I'm excited. Part of me is worried something will be wrong but I'm pushing those thoughts away and only focus on the positive.

Yes, they know I haven't been to a doctor, they got me in as soon as they could on such short notice. and good luck on the ultrasound, keep positive thoughts!

 

[KozmikKitten]

I think so, Sophie - but I'm not sure yet. I'm sure we will discuss it at my 12 week apt.

and I was taking baby aspirin as well until the last few days. I happened to run out and I decided to not continue taking it as I was already 12 weeks and that's when my first doctor suggested it until anyways.

My previous doctor seemed to think my previous losses were due to a minor clotting disorder as well, he said that my body recognized the fertilized egg as a disturbance in my body and created clotting so my body would expel the 'threat'.

This is the same clotting disorder that causes me to pass almost golf ball sized clots during AF and during the bleeding postpartum with my son I passed 2 baseball sized clots.

Everything looked great! Little bean was wiggling around like crazy. Heartbeat was nice and strong and I'm measuring 2 days ahead. I'm so happy right now.

 

[KozmikKitten]

Awesome news Taber! Congrats on the great scan.

Mine is tomorrow morning. Hoping to hear good news, too!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Beautiful scan Taber!!

Good luck on your scan tomorrow, Kozmik!

 

[babyjourney89]

Guys can you tell me if its normal to have vaginal discharge in early pregnancy? And what color should be of it? I'am 8 weeks and 2 days pregnant according to usg. Let me know. Thanks!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Yes, vaginal discharge is very normal in pregnancy, it can be any where from clear and white, to pale yellow or light tan. Though IF you are on medications applied in the vagina (such as progesterone) some women can see light greenish-yellow discharge. However, dark brown, green, dark pink and of course, red discharges should be reported to your Dr immediately.

 

[SunUp]

Congrats taber!!!

I go for my scan in the AM!

Any Fun gender reveal parties in the works?!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Good luck SunUp!!!

 

[Lala77]

Awesome Taber!!!

Let's keep this positive ultra sounds coming!!

My next one is October 6th! The wait is serious torture :0/ thank god for you guys! I'm not really talking about this pregnancy openly.

 

[NDTaber9211]

Anyone who is not having any symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. I still have barely any symptoms and everything was looking great today. Don't let it stress you out.

I have tested positive for 2 known clotting disorders. One is fairly common. One is rare. Neither is compatible with pregnancy. I don't bleed at all. Ever. For any reason. I clot. Immediately. Even with my d&c and my Cytotec induced mc, no bleeding. Not a drop. My labor if I make it that far will be high risk because my doctors have said there will be a fine line btwn me bleeding out vs clotting. My mmc's saved my life though. Would have never been tested otherwise and likely would have just dropped dead out of nowhere one day. So I guess everything does happen for a reason. I just wish my baby didn't have to be exposed to baby asa. Just have no choice. Without it either myself or baby will have a stroke.

 

[Lala77]

Sophie, that is so frightening! Are you finding ways to relax?

 

[Sophie2015]

Sophie, that is so frightening! Are you finding ways to relax?

Yeah. Until recently I've sort of forgotten about my clotting issues because there isn't anything more I can do about it and the baby was doing okay. But as I get further along the scary thoughts start to creep in. I think I'll feel better once I see my doctor. I really hate that my next ultrasound isn't until November!!

 

[KozmikKitten]

Good luck on your scan today SunUp.

I feel like I'm going to vomit today but I think its stress and nerves for the ultrasound, and not pregnancy related! Ugh....1.5 hours to wait.

 

[jtink28]

Good luck on the scans today!!

Don't want to jinx myself, but today is day 3 with no nausea/vomiting. I've had small episodes of gagging, but I think MS may be on its way out!! Yay!

Ugh I wish I could say that Mine seems to have gotten a little bit stronger. This entire time so far I haven't had any issues with brushing my teeth, a few days ago it started bothering me like crazy. The second I put the tooth brush in my mouth I feel like vomiting. On top of that, I think the entire time leading up to 12 weeks I threw up a total of 4 times and since Monday I've been throwing up everyday when I wake up and usually once when I get home from work. At least I can eat now though even though it gives me the worse acid reflux.
