[Crystal5483]

Sorry I've been MIA! It's been a busy few weeks!

I will make a formal post tomorrow as I'm tired and got back from Maine today.

 

[emergRN]

I need to pop in here more often!!
I have my first appt on friday... Please say a prayer that things will go we'll! I saw bub at 6w3d with a lil flickering heart, so I am excited (but nervous) to see the developments!

Still on the edge of getting a doppler.. I'm scared it might make me crazy! Or maybe it'll be a safety net on worry days!

 

[twinkletots]

Good luck emergrn! Welcome back crystal!
I got a Doppler and was worried I would get obsessed. So far i have been using it once a day but would like to cut it back to couple of times a week
I must say, it really helps reassure me to hear the heartbeat.
How often you other ladies with Dopplers using them?

 

[Crystal5483]

At first I was using it once a week but then we told DD and she wants to hear baby every day! But she is good. Once we hear it she's like OK you can shut it off now lol.

Good luck for friday Emergrn you will be fine xx
Hey crystal welcome back How are you have you been well?
Hi Twinkletots loving your profile picture awesome

I dont have a doppler, I have considered it but i know i would get obsessive. Im trying to stay positive without one until i see bub again at 12 weeks so not too long. I have been having some pain today in my lower abdo, sort of sharp it come and goes but always in same place between my naval and hip. what do you think it is? I really hope its expansion or my uterus moving up

Hi ladies how are you all doing. I havent been on much as dh is away in NY and i have been staying with my parents. My nausea has gotten a lot better and i am less turned off by food now glad to be graduating first tri soon.

Have any of you ladies done the downs syndrome testing and if so what can i expect. Also, some friends have told me that this is when they do the spinal check and can often times tell you the sex. Your feedback is much appreciated ladies...this is all new to me

 

[Crystal5483]

Hope I have the downs NT ultrasound on Thursday. I could tell you how it goes after the scan! I can't wait! DH and DD are going to try and make it as well!!

 

[merristems]

Hope i am having the downs test, it is anextended scan where they look carefully atthe back of babies neck and measure the fluid there. Then they take your blood and thats all unless for any reason the results come back with high percentage risk. Thats when it gets more complicated and the proceedure carries arisk of mc.

 

[Crystal5483]

merristems I get the ultrasound and blood work on Thursday and then I get blood work again about a month after.

I hope it all goes well crystal xx

Yup time to buy maternity pants lol

 

[Hope1409]

Thanks for the info ladies. I guess its always nerve wrecking when tests are involved. Crystal your bump is def there! Haha, im right behind ya, i need new pants asap. I went from totally not showing showing to major bloat overnight.

 

[merristems]

Oh wow crystal you have a great bump! I ha ent tried to wear my normal jeans in ages living in leggins i will trh o a pair tonight to see where im at! X

 

[Crystal5483]

Yea I have to unbutton when I'm at my desk at work lol

 

[Barhanita]

Nice bump, Crystal!

 

[bunnyslippers]

Hi ladies! I haven't been on in a while, nice to see everyone is moving right along.

Nice bump Crystal! Right now, I'm wearing my regular pants, but instead of buttoning them, I'm using a rubber band to keep them together. I feel like its so obvious I'm pregnant, but no one has asked me yet.

I'm a bit nervous these days. My MS has subsided a bit. I have an appt with my OB on Tuesday. I'll be 10w2d so I'm hoping she will be able to use the doppler so I can hear the HB. My NT scan is 2/5, so far away!

 

[Crystal5483]

Thanks! I'm still wearing my own jeans. Can button in the AM but after lunch not so much lol

My NT scan is today!!! At 3PM EST

Good luck! Please let me know how it goes and what to expect. I wonder if the tech will be able to tell you the sex since that's what happened with three of my friends.

 

[Crystal5483]

I'm going to ask if she has any inclination. If not I go Feb 6th for my private scan

 

[Leffy]

Hi ladies, we had our scan today and im afraid i may have to leave this little group,
we are actually 13w 1day- making me due in JULY!

Baby is perfect and even waved at us, im also so sure i saw a tinkle! (is this even possible?)

I will be induced at 39 weeks so baby will be here by July 25! Im absolutely thrilled and cannot stop smiling and crying with joy,
