August Beach Bumps - 24 Girls, 27 boys, & 2 team yellow! 39 babies born!!

Holy shyster. My doubling time is 25 hours. Beta went from 653 to 2211 in 43.5 hours. This should be good news, but now I'm freaking myself out that I have a molar pregnancy. I know way too much. Ahhh. Darn medical education.

I put a call into the midwife to see what the next step is. I definitely don't want to prolong this pregnancy with progesterone supplements if it is a molar. I know the likelihood is really slim, but still.... I am also sort of freaking out about the possiblity of twins, too (no history in my family).

I need to remember the bell curve... If a mean doubling time is 48 hours, then there have got to be "normal" d.t's on either side. Does anybody know the standard deviation? Yes, I am too analytical.

Probably, I just have a normal singleton pregnancy (for now), with a borderline low progesterone level normally, and I should have just waited a few weeks before seeing the doc. Still hope to be joining you August Mommas!

How are you feeling? I also got my first pink line 23 November

I've managed to get an early scan because I was so panicky and I've been trying so long. I'm beginning to get extreme pains on my left side which if they continue I'll be heading to the hospital. I'm not worrying though because if they don't carry on or get worse I'll just be overthinking lol.

I eat often to avoid feeking sick. So far so good.

When are you planning to announce your pregnancy to the world? I can not wait to share, but my mum is telling me to shut up for few more months...

 

[readynwilling]

thats my strategy too Koonk LOL.

Sorry you are having pains Charlie do you know when your scan is? did you post it and i missed it?

 

[Sweetkat]

Beemama, I'm sorry to have upset you. I thought the point of this thread was for camaraderie between us expectant moms who are at the same stage of their pregnancies. I don't want to cause you or others distress and will be careful not to mention such worries in the future.

I am 5w2 days too. Due date 6 August. Can I join please?

We're telling the world after 12 weeks, starting with family and closer friends before facebook. Telling the parents at Christmas

I started having pretty bad cramps at work today too. They got worse and I was getting pretty nervous but they seem to have gone now after expelling a bit of gas!!

I have only mild nausea but I find eating helps and if I get hungry it's worse. So i just keep on eating!
A patient brought me a huge tin of chocolates today and I am sitting here trying my best not to crack them open

 

[Barhanita]

we will tell OH's parent on Christmas, mine at 12th weeks and the rest of the world one it will become impossible to hide

Crystal the nurse reassured me that cramping is absolutely normal.

I was just cramping, and thank God I read Your post! One thing less to worry about than my hcg levels

I'm glad to hear this... I've been having decent cramps on and off throughout the day and was getting a little worried.

Does anyone else have sore abdominals??

Have been having funny twinges when stand up quickly or when sneeze and also stretching feeling in my uterus. Think it's normal.

[Barhanita]

My week 5 bulge. As sucked in as I can get.

The vitamins can actually encourage the nausea, on my really bad days I used to skip them TBH. It was more important to try and keep food and fluids down. It would be hard to take too much folic though so it won't hurt if you wanted to take another to be sure.

Im really embarrassed by my bloat tonight. It is much more obvious than I realised. I had a very small bump last time but am now worried about hiding this one until mid January!

Me too! Luckily its pretty much just me, hubby & kids at christmas but if we visit the inlaws i will have to wear a baggy jumper i think x

 

[lolpants]

6 weeks yey!!

Just wanna say I'm a positive person too, just think it's a lot to ask to have people not worry and share their worries ...

I still haven't got round to picking up the pregnancy pack from my GP's,went in to get it and they told me ti come back in the afternoon, but was out alll day- will hopefully get the ball rolling tomorrow, I think it will organise a MW appt for around 8 wks and at that the US will be arranged for around 12 wks/mid Jan.. seems like ages away - at least I have DD to help keep my mind occupied and Xmas/New Year.. so hoping it won't drag!

Lol xx

[charlie00134]

thanks, going to do one every Thursday.
mine shouldn't be hard to hide, I've recently lost weight so people will just think I've put it back on lol

Aw that looks like mine! People keep asking me how I can be showing so early, I so don't want to say it's bloating. It's quite nice to think its more baby bump than gas bump

I'm quite positive too, most days I feel quite confident that the pregnancy is going well, I also think about it a lot partly because I have so many symptoms. Is there quite a high rate of miscarriage? I have to say that until I was on this forum, it probably wouldn't have occurred to me that it might be a common occurance. I guess if you've had one you'll obviously be a lot more aware.

I've joined the beige/brown cm club, its like if u had chocolate on u finger and smudged it on fabric. Really not alot at all i guess my body is still clearing out the crap. Whether preg or not I've always spotted this stuff so not panicked. Unless it turns red then it'll be a&e i think as getting into docs in horrendous here.

My baby top came today!
