Babies due in JUNE!

[Ellie Bellie]

Gym? What's that? I canceled today's session with the trainer because of pain/discomfort in my side. I'm thinking it's more muscular and probably related to constipation but wanted to play it safe. Right now I'm happy if I can get two days of cardio in each week. I've been feeling better, energy-wise, but now have to contend with holiday schedules. Perhaps this week will find me on the elliptical (AKA Hamster Wheel) more than once....

Hi girls! I had a great ultrasound this morning! OH came with me and for me it was special. Baby measured at 11w4d which gave me a new due date of june 9, but i dont want to change it officially, just yet. HB was 164 bpm. The little lamb was wiggling around like crazy! It was sooo cute. I'll change my photo later to the new one!
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! Happy wednesday to everyone else! xo

Ooooh! I am sooo happy 4 u. It just warms my heart so much to read about expecting mum who are so content like u......hope it lasts forever and ever.
Guess what? mY baby is due on June 13th. However, I am not excited at all becuz i have miscarried before when I was 5 months pregnant. A lot of people think that just becuz they are over the 4 months mark, they are safe.....that is how I thought.....but boy was I surprised and traumatized!
Anyways, I need ur help pls. I love ur spolers that u have...saying what sixe the baby is and how many days u have left and everything, how did u get that there? I am super computer illeterate, can u explain in idiot's terms pls? haha!
Congratualtions ....but still be super careful.

I just got home from my 11-week appointment and things are looking good! I heard the heartbeat for the first time (160BPM) and the doctor was positive about everything. She said to not worry about the side pains I've been experiencing as they're likely a combination of muscles stretching, pressure from my uterus, and constipation. So I bought myself a giant bag of prunes this afternoon!

Next Monday is the 12-week NT scan and meeting with the genetics counselor. Is anyone considering having an amnio? DH and I are on the fence about it right now, depending on what next week's results indicate.

Glad to hear all was well Ellie.

Yes, Im considering amnio. I actually had it set up that I would skip NT bloods and go straight for amnio but I changed my mind and got NT scan and bloods done. Nuchal Fold measurement was low risk but waiting on combined results which should be here next week. If Im high risk I will definately be getting an amnio. If Im low risk I thought I would get it anyway but now Ive seen the baby I dont think I will. x

Hi girls.
Sooo excitig, right ellie!?!? Little heartbeat, wiggly baby!

Anyone know if the heartbeat rule holds fairly true? (higher than its a girl?)

I have my nt scan this thursday. OH wants to do amnio, i am afraid to the the cvs. If the combined NT/sequential tests come back in great form, i will try to aboid the amnio. Im scared about every appointment, tho i feel inside all will be OK. I just always worry about everything.

I have no idea if there's any truth to the heartbeat predicting gender. Does anyone want to start making predictions about their LOs before we start finding out?

 

[sadie]

Everyone says girl for me, as do I but a small part of me thinks boy. My sis swears that my heartbeat points towards girl as it was right for her 3 times!

Ferne and Star Sign....anything you can share about your little ones and what their heartrates were?

 

[Quisty]

This is me at 12 weeks.

 

[Quisty]

Trying again

 

[deafgal]

I am not showing yet, I hope thats normal! other than the extra fat from my previous pregnancy (I don't have a flat tummy).

I did have a tilted uterus.

Thats what my bump was looking like on Sunday! It seems to be smaller some days than others. Ill post a piccie this weekend now that you have started the ball rolling. You look really good. Ive been feeling like pants and look terrible so maybe Ill chop my head off the photo!!


p.s Have you guys decided on baby names yet? I have my girls name decided but cant find a boys name we both like. x

 

[StarSign]

:wave: My DD's heart rate was pretty high (150+). So maybe some truth to high rates= girl, lower = boy. My bump...up & down depending on constipation/gas levels. Gonna start my bump log this Fri. And take them monthly. Right now- it's not impressive at all.

 

[sadie]

Wow, what a bump! I'm like half that size, but very obvious. A student yesterday, to whom I promised would be the first to know if Iw erre to become pregnant said "Miss you lied to me...." then I told her...

I have lots of girl names chosen, but italian boy names are horrible, imo. OH hasn't given me much help. Again, old fashioned and he prefers to wait. Maybe he is just nervous. And its annoying how the girls names that I have always liked are now the most popular names, and I wont give me child a very common name... such as Olivia, Isabella, Sofia. At least I dont think I would....

I agree about italian boys names but the girls names are beautiful. x

 

[StarSign]

I'm nowhere near the name game just yet. Maybe tomorrow after we get to say "hello"

Look forward to seeing your piccies!!

We had our girls name picked out before we even started trying.

I would love to really believe in the heart rate theory but I was a L&D nurse for too long to know its all a myth. I have my NT scan tomorrow and I am excited to see the baby again. I have to say that my appetite has grown like crazy!! I am hoping to gain no more than 20 pounds but I cannot stop eating

 

[sadie]

Big scans this week......

FOR US ALL!

 

[StarSign]

So, it was generally a good visit. I've put on 2 lbs. since my visit just 2 weeks ago..lol. Bloods were drawn for the first rounds of tests. I'm opting to do completely non-invasive. Say!! Have you guys heard of this new test called the Materni98 test that is 99.9% accurate in testing for Downs syndrome using just the Mom's blood. The test is $2k (but covered by most insurance)...maybe a deductible needed. So, after a talk with DH, we'll decide if we'll do it, but this is as accurate as amnio.

The LO jumped up and a down a bit to see us, then fell asleep in the middle of a bump. My DH snatched the photos almost from the tech, gave them a cursory review, and said "BOY!!" Errrm, dh, we can barely see limbs, let alone any other protrusions! But, my other gf's are saying boy. I'm bad at guessing, so will just find out in 2 months

Anyways, here's my little bub...
