Babies due in JUNE!

Forums New posts
I bought the sonoline B, too!! It should arrive tomorrow....

Sunshine, those are great numbers! You can rest assured that little baby is doing well!

Not luck yet locating my blood test results. They are investigating to which lab they were sent! My original bloods came back tho (first visit to OB) and those were eat. i got an A+.
 
I was a little nervous with telling my boss at work, since there's been a lot of stress regarding staffing. Someone left in September. Another person is barely there and basically leaving. Since I started, in 2006, there have been 14 pregnancies (staff or spouses) and it does add a strain to the other staff. A couple of years ago (when someone else announced a pregnancy), I was told that I needed to have my tubes tied and then he'd clone me because I do so much in the office. After having a (hormonally-driven?) meltdown in the office back in August where I told my boss that I was scared to tell him if I ever got pregnant because of some past comments, I think he realized that this was going to be happening. Now he comments on my bump and refers to me as the fertile one. So while there was a tense moment with spilling the beans, it has all worked out just fine.

(Yes, I'm aware that much of this sounds inappropriate for the workplace and could probably count as harassment by some, but it really isn't and is kind of the norm for everyone working there. I don't know if it's better or worse that we're all mental health professionals! ;))
 
I finally got my results back. Based on my ripe young age of 42, the chance was 1:30. Then after the bloods, it jumped to 1:280. In any case, i have an amnio sceduled for January 5, so we shall see then! And I will find out the sex, too. Anyone know how soon after they can tell you the sex from the fluid??

Glad you got your results back Sadie. At least you know what you are doing now for sure which is good. From what Ive been reading the amnio only takes about 10 minutes and is practically pain free. Im not sure how long it takes to get gender results though. Im looking forward to knowing if my boy prediction was correct! :hugs:
 
Hi Sunshine. Yes, finally! No matter what these results were, we chose to do an amnio. Its Important for us at our 'ages'. OH is going to be 52 in a month... However, Id still prefer that darn blood test.
Rain here today in NYC, but all else is good. Symptoms of boob soreness has lightened up and I finally went out last night for a dinner, got home by almost 11 PM and wasnt exhausted! Woohoo!

How is everyone on the tiredness? Ferne and either Sunshine or another S name was feeling it pretty badly.

i am still waiting on my sonoline b.... i had a dream about using it, of course.

Sunshine, is it the skull theory you're basing it on? Originally i was convinced I was having a girl because the heartrate was so high (168). i will keep you posted!

deafgal, have a great appointment today and let us know how it goes! Share a pic or two!
 
Hi Sadie, Hope your doppler arrives soon you lucky thing! Im sooo jealous! I have my 16 week appointment on Tuesday with the midwife. Im kind of hoping she will listen to the heartbeat but knowing my luck my clinic "wont do that". If they dont Im going to buy one even if my OH thinks its a bad idea because of my obsessive personality.

My tiredness was awful previously but its alot better now. I did however vomit 8 times this morning in a row which was awful so Im hoping my MS isnt coming back. It happens when I clean my teeth but its so horrible.

Yes, I was basing the boy on the skull theory. I dont know what my little ones heartrate was because "they dont tell you that" (there is a pattern forming eh!!)

Deafgal, let us know how u got on. xx
 
Yeah! An appoutment!

Doppler arrived today. Im at work and tried to use it while sitting up. Didnt even pick up my own heartrate when i put it near my heart! Nor did i hear the baby! How the heck do i use this thing exactly? Strsign can you give me some tips? Thanks
 
Did you get gel with it? You are meant to lie down when using it and put it quite low down towards your pubic bone. It can take a while to find from what I can gather and sometimes people dont find them until 16 weeks or later. (I realise I dont have one but given the number of investigations Ive done on these I kinda got a vibe of how to use them. Im excited for you!!)
 
everything looks good. the doctor think the baby might be a girl but it is too early to tell. I will know about the labwork some other time.
 
Great news DG!

Thanks Sunshine. I later put me feet up on my desk andcrouched down and got it! Im goig to try to record it! Any tips on how to do that? Haha
 
Hi Sadie-

Using gel or even lotion really helps. And yes, you need to put it rite at the top of the lady bits and GO SLOW. Turn up the volume. You'll hear what sounds like a river throbibng by which is usually your own system. The baby's throbbing sound will be about 2x's faster than your own.

I could heard at 11 weeks with the Sonoline, so you should be able to by now for sure.
 
Great news DG.

Sadie thats so fab!! Have you got a mobile phone with voice recorder or video? If you do just record it on that. x
 
Great idea, it worked and came out clear!

Btw, i went to drop of my blood test results from my original OB to my new OB. He was just walking into his office so we got to speak a bit. convinced me that I have one of the 3 best amnio docs in the city and not to worry. He also convinced me that that blood test that I wanted is a waste of time and money, that the company had some problems in the recent past for falsifying data and that they are not quite reputible as of yet, although they just might eventually be so, but atm they are not.
 
Oh and I am negative for parvo meaning i need to stay far away from kids with fifths disease! Whoa!
 
Hello Ladies,

Hope everyone is blooming.....

Again I must apologise for lurking in the shadows - I have been so worried about my 12 week scan that felt it was best to lurk until I had it done and I knew the outcome - not to tempt fate...

The reason why - was because at 9 weeks I suddenly lost all my pregnancy symptoms after a sickness bug - so just felt that something had happened - even though I read that this is common for a lot of women ... but wasn't reassured :blush:

Well - had my 12 week scan yesterday - and yippeee a healthy heartbeat and all looked good - even my nuchal measurement came back low which I was really pleased about (picture attached)

I still think I am on a roller coaster road for the next few weeks - as I am sure my bloods will come back as high risk - as this happened on my first pregnancy and had to have the amino done ... so fully expecting to go through this again!

Also from the scan my due date has changed to the 23rd June instead of the 29th - so a bit further along than I expected!

Hey Sadie...great job finding and recoding your LO's HB (did you wind up using gel?). Having it on the phone is so cool because you can play whenever. But, live to me, is always better!! :thumbup: But, I'm confused, your dr. said MaterniT21 is a waste of time? What stats did he give for the amino place?? Junebug_CJ's has good stats at 1/2000 for loss.

Sunshine, you're good at directing....so you're still not gonna get one? Honestly, in a couple of weeks, you'll be able to feel the LO anyways! How is the MS??

Green', CONGRATS on the happy 12-week review. Just take things a day atta time...
