Definitely a possibility there's a few in there! Lovely bump by the way if that's not too weird

Hi !

I am due 30th August with baby no2 my first scan is Feb 17th! Excited. Congrats everyone xx

Lovecakes, the '12 week' scan, if it is the nucheal one, MUST be done between certain dates (something like 11+4 to 13+2 or something) so I doubt they would do that scan so early. But if it isn't the nucheal one and just a standard one, then it may well happen??


MissLM, I went 17 days overdue with Monster... And there was no doubt about dates either! Lol. It was OK cos I just kept going to work to keep busy. I'd have gone nuts waiting at home I think!!! Lol. Will be interesting to see what happens with this one...

Purplespecs - that is quite the bump you are rocking!! I can't wait for that and I do know they say you show earlier with #2!

However, I'm totally fine with not popping out till 12 weeks so i don't have to tell everyone at work before then haha

 

[DenyseGiguere]

I'm showing a little bit too. People keep joking that there's more than 1 baby in there since I've been so sick and I'm showing so soon. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks. Too scared to post bump pics though!

Lorojavonos – Congrats on hearing both heartbeats! Double the joy I imagine.

Blood types: I know I’m O+ from the last time I was pregnant, and I think my husband is too.

MissLM – Yes, I’ve had sore stomach muscles this past week, especially when I wake up in the morning. I remember this last time too, but not till 14/15 weeks or so. Maybe it means everything is stretching a little earlier this time.

Purplespecs – You definitely have popped haven’t you? Wow! When do you find out if there’s more than 1 in there?

AFM – I am sick and tired of illnesses right now! I am so frustrated! I’m still suffering with sinusitis, which has been awful with going back to work and teaching all day. I get no rest from my headache! And now my son has caught his next illness of the moment: winter vomiting bug. He had hand, foot and mouth in November/December, horrendous teething two weeks before Christmas with fevers and explosive nappies, he caught my nasty cold just before Christmas and then came out in chicken pox (which he must have caught at nursery a week earlier) just after Christmas. That’s only just starting to get better and now he’s spent the evening projectile vomiting. At one point we were both covered in vomit, as was the carpet in his bedroom and I just had to laugh. It was that or burst into tears!!!

With new baby everything seems to be going well. I’ve not got many symptoms anymore, but as I had none with my son I’m not too surprised – it just makes me think even more that this is another little boy. I heard the heartbeat on the Doppler again today, but I think it was a bit shy, because it kept moving whenever I got a fix on it. I’m quite surprised by how much it moved, because it seemed to be on both sides of my uterus in quick succession. Surely they can’t move across the uterus yet? (A small part of me is hoping they missed a twin at my 6+6 ultrasound and that’s why I heard it in two places almost at once I’m ridiculous !)

My one embarrassing symptom has been a bad stomach. TMI alert! It hits me when I’m walking home from work, literally. I don’t know what it is, but as I’m on my long 30 minute walk I start to get a really sore stomach and I know I need to get home straight away! It’s so upsetting. I barely made it home two days ago and yesterday I was too far from home, knew I’d never make it on foot and had to call my husband to drive and get me (15 minute walk = 5 minute car journey). It’s such an embarrassing, painful and distressing problem and it must be pregnancy related, because it’s never happened to me before and happens quite a lot now! Anyone else?

So I know this was really stupid... I just can't shake the feeling something is not right. So I tooj a frer and the lines are just the same color... not one darker or lighter . I figured at this point I would have one of those tests where the test line is darker than control, etc... does this sound ok or a bad sign?

 

[clynn11]

Hook affect has probably already kicked in hun. Try adding some water to your pee.

 

[Ashley8806]

This was the test

 

[Ashley8806]

I can't stop crying... I just feel like I'm losing this baby

 

[Jett55]

Your lines still look fab & not all test have as much dye or like they said about the hook effect. If there's no cramping or bleeding I wouldn't worry too much. Just try to relax & if you're that worried take a trip to the er

 

[glbaby1]

About to go in for my first scan! It's about freakin time! Lol. Excited and super nervous. Hoping for one healthy little bean!!!

Hi ladies... not sure how many of you are not on our August 2014 FB group, so I thought I'd post here too. I've spent more time on FB than here, so some of you may not remember me.

I lost little one last night at 9 weeks 2 days. I'm in shock and denial and am not exactly sure what will happen next. I might stop in to check how you ladies are doing from time to time, and I wish you all the best with all of my heart. I'm very sad I won't be giving birth in August with the rest of you, but feel free to follow my blog or friend me on Facebook if you'd like to keep in touch.

Ashley- can you request a beta draw? Let them know something just doesn't feel right and that the betas would make you feel better? Your lines truly look fine hun. Hook affect is said to kick in around 6 weeks and your lines start getting lighter instead of darker because the hcg doesn't register correctly on the tests when it's so high. I am keeping everything crossed for you, I am sure your bean is just fine

They just keep telling me to keep my regular appointment even after cramping bad after a good fall. Just said they can't stop if anything is happening I have an ultrasouns next wednesday, I wish they'd just give me an early one.
