Gorgeous ultrasound!!!

 

[AngelOb]

Yay Tanni! That ultrasound is amazing, it's unbelievable how fast they grow and start looking like babies instead of little tadpoles

 

[ksquared726]

Aww Tani!! So so cute!

 

[LilRed Mel]

Beautiful Tanikins. You must be so thrilled.

 

[Tanikins]

I am. I didnt see the heartbeat 1st time even though i saw it move. So.it was amazing to see it beating away. The growth is crazy. Gender scan is booked for 24th feb.

Wow, time is flying for you Tani!

I wish we had early gender scans. Even though I'm getting the blood test done to determine gender (amongst other things), I still wish we had one. I have about 9 more weeks to go to see baby again

I know, it seems like everyone is getting ultrasounds all the time and I'm over here like.... is it February 4th yet?!

Feb. 4 is my next prenatal appointment so I won't know if I get another scan before 20 weeks or not until then. Probably not since asking them for one around here is like asking for an arm or a leg lol.

Hey everyone...
I swear every time I check this forum there's about twenty more pages to sift through. I'm still looking since my last post a week or so ago and I have to say I love the u/s pics! I can't wait to go to the doctor and see mine! I still haven't gotten my insurance squared away so I haven't even called my OB yet, but I definitely feel it.
I swear I've already felt some flutters, and even my husband has noted I am a bit rounder in the front. I guess you really do show faster with the third preg. 10w3d for me here...

I'm now 10+3. I haven't seen my midwife yet (my fault) I need to call her today.

 

[Tanikins]

Going to see my high risk consultant today. Kinda hoping he requests extra scans

 

[1nceUponATime]

Good luck Tani ! I'm sure everything will go great

 

[kittylady]

Got hold of my midwife and she took my details by phone as she couldn't see me till 17 Feb when I'll be 13+3. She's leaving my blood paperwork at the surgery so I can take it to the hospital to be done. I should get a date for my ultrasound through the post.

 

[kittylady]

Tani let us know what's happening when you 're back from the appointment.

My sonaline b Doppler should be coming in Saturday . I'll be almost 11 weeks, any advice for using it ?? Where do I even start looking? How far below the belly button?

 

[Holliems]

I ordered my Doppler on Monday express mail and when I track it, it still says its in PA??? Errr

 

[Tanikins]

Consultant was good and bad. I need to do the gtt at 28 weeks and there doing a growth scan at 30 weeks (well actually ill be 31 due to a holiday)

Bad point was as i have hip bursitis i need to be assesed as to weather i can have a vaginal birth. If they deem i cant be in that postion for a long time without causing me damage ill have to have a csec. I really dont want 1 😭😭😭😭


Got my date for my 20 week scan. 9th march. Ill only be 18+6 though

 

[1nceUponATime]

Tani- I'll keep my fingers crossed you don't need a c-section! I'm glad everything else was ok tho!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Fingers crossed that everything goes well and you don't need a C-section. Having a C-section scares the crap out of me. All you girls that have had one done are really strong!

Boo to the gtt... I hated that test! I denied it with both my DD and my DS because they wouldn't give me a substitute for the drink, which I couldn't hold down, so they just did regular bloodwork to check me for diabetes, which came back negative. I plan to do the same this time. Worst test they ever invented, I think. There have been so many reports of false positives that you wonder how reliable it really is.

Yay!! Exciting! I watched a youtube video that was super helpful. She said to start in the middle, right above the pelvic bone, then go from there. What I do is I start in the middle and kind of move the wand in a circle (not a traditional circle, but like you're tracing the inside of a circle, if that makes sense) on my belly to be sure I'm covering all angles and go across my pubic bone. You really don't need to press that hard either. May take a bit to find it, so don't panic. 11 weeks was yesterday, and baby was sitting maybe 1/4" above pubic bone. Everybody is different though.

Should get my Doppler today. Excited! I also scheduled another private scan for tomorrow. It'll be the last one until 20 weeks!
