Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[ladykara]

Scorpio- that's crazy !!! I'm surprised they allow something like that... What will happen now ? Could you lie ? X

Monro- it's crazy how we suddenly worry !!i would have even just 5 mins of non sickness and suddenly I have convinced myself something is wrong and I'm checking my bank balance to see if we can afford a private scan.. !! Ill also admit that as soon as I left the hospital today I worried that I could see signs of Down syndrome in the scan photo.. I'm just expecting something to go wrong. My bombs stopped hurting for a while but now and then ill get like a hot pain running through them.. X

Mack- interesting about the volley ball player, goes to show you how safe they are in there, although I'm not sure I would be playing at my best if I knew I was 5 weeks pregnant... I would still be extra careful x

 

[mackjess]

She didn't realize she was prego til after. That was kind of what the article was about. LOL. I guess she couldn't figure out why she was so moody, and sometimes when she was in big time training mode her cycle would be messed up.

 

[ladykara]

That's makes sense .. Good thing she didn't know or her mind wouldn't have been in the game... But then there is that women who gave birth in Afghanistan, she didn't have a clue and she was fighting a war !!!!! X

 

[mackjess]

sorry you are worrying so much about the symptoms ladies. I dont really have MS and a terrible amount of symptoms so it def scares me too.

Had my scan today. They said my bean looked perfect, HB 172, measuring 7weeks 2days. I am actually happy. So far I've just been nerves.

 

[girlinyork]

Glad the scans went well Kara and monro. Really happy for you both

I got a hb on my Doppler this morning. The doc isn't worried about bubs and he says there's no need for a scan so I am just trying to relax now. I'm sore from head to toe the station manager called and said he issued a report backing my story. It was the train company at fault so I emailed them and asked if we could sort this out without solicitors so we'll see.

 

[ladykara]

Mack that's fab news !!! Your just very lucky to have no sickness ...I understand , it's like this whole weights been lifted, I can actually start being happy and enjoy the pregnancy ( minus the sickness) I'm starting to allow myself to think about the future having this baby x

GIY- I'm so jealous of you having the Doppler.. Must be so reassuring having that. I hope mine works when I pick it up tomorrow !! X

 

[girlinyork]

It is reassuring. If I hadn't had it I'd have gone to hospital and freaked out and all sorts but I know bubs is safe now. I already love this baby so much. It would kill me for anything to happen to it x

 

[mackjess]

Kara, I know 12 weeks is "the" milestone, but you are doing so great at 10!! I hear about so many losses at 8 weeks, so I feel really really strongly that you are just fine.

And I'm totally going to have to get a doppler!

 

[Scorpio23]

Thanks ladies. Oh yeah i forgot about discrimination laws. I doubt they can knock me back on the loan as Im not on maternity leave at the time of borrowing.

Congrats to everyone on their scans. I pay $160 for my scan with FS. Expensive but i figure its worth it as i dont have time to go public medical centre. I get a rebatee back from medicare. Not sure how much yet.

Since we lost our first at 27 weeks we certainly won't be feeling safe at 12. We're past where we lost our MMC now, so I feel a bit better, but I'll be a complete nervous wreck until the babies are in our arms.

 

[bethneebabe]

Wow! Glad to hear about the excellent scans today for Lady Kara and Mack Jess. I'm sorry to hear that you're so sore today GIY. Hopefully you'll be feeling soon.

 

[LVnMommy]

is anyone going to have the CVS test done between 10-12 weeks?

 

[girlinyork]

No. I'd not abort whatever risk there is. If I've got to have testing I'll go for the slightly lower risk amnio but I'm only 25 so doubt I am high risk for any trisonomies x

 

[ladykara]

I already have a son with special needs, that's the main reason I didn't have any more for 13 years, I would want to know and Prepare, If we didn't already have jake with autism I wouldn't have any of the tests.

 

[girlinyork]

My little brother has autism. He is a lovely man but hard work

 

[ladykara]

Jake is major hard work, all my friends were raving how wonderful being a mum is and I only found it tough, didn't really experience those joyful times, I was 19 with a husband who was a drunk.. Just didn't enjoy myself at all. But since having Paige I can totally understand what all my friends were on about, such a big difference being a mum now and I have a amazing husband now which helps. I'm a lot older, my priorities have changed and I have so much more patience. Jake has got a lot better, more independent but its still hard work with him, he attends a special needs school as I was typing this they called saying he kicked off ... So now I'm in for a night of shouting and abuse.. I'm not sure I would cope with another child with special needs, I also have to think about Paige and Jake. X

Lady K my 4 year old is also on the spectrum he has Pervasive developmental disorder and ADHD. It really changes you as a person, and there are not many people who understand/!!!

Lady--So glad you had a great scan yesterday did they say what the HB was?
I know I guess I just cannot believe this might be my rainbow baby. I have had so many other disappointments its hard to believe it might stick. My DH believes this was the one that was ment to be and my mom told me before I got pregnant after my last MC that she believed I would have a July baby. I kinda thought I was out b/c my dh went on a hunting trip to MO but we got bd in on Thurs morning and Fri evening and he left saturday morning and I got a positive opk Sat about 11 am. and my temp was up the next day but I could have O'd on Sun. or late Sat night. Either way it worked.

Jess--So great that is an excelent HB I actually was scheduled for a scan mon and I will be 7 wks 2 days still palnning on going to it also. Even though my DH thinks its crazy since I just got one. What he does not know is that my ob yesterday told me to come back on the 20th for another scan. So I would have had 1 a wk since 4 wks 3 days.

GIY--That is so great I knew it would not hurt your little bean. but they still need to take responsibility.

Scorpio--thats pretty cheap for a US I think I I did not have Insurance it would be 500 at the specialist and 250 or 300 at the OB. Of course that probable could be reduced some.

amjon--Awe so sorry you went though that at 27 wks but I bet you will go almost full term (b/c twins are born a little early) and have a very uneventful pregnancy

AFM--My boobs started back hurting last night and I almost got sick yesterday afternoon after taking my prenatal but it might had been the vitamin even though I took it with food. I am just so glad the week end is here I get to sleep tomorrow at least I better get to lol. Still have a nausas feeling right now though. And then scan at 7 wks 2 days Mon at 9

 

[mackjess]

Oh Amjon, I'm so sorry hun. Losses are heartbreaking whenever they happen, but I can't imagine a late loss. I hope you find some peace and happiness and get to enjoy your pregnancy. I know it's difficult, even though I've made it past the date of my loss it's still scary.

I will be meeting with a genetic counselor since I'm 35. Not sure about the testing. I don't mind doing it to find if something is wrong so I can be prepared, I am more worried about the risks. I don't want to do a CVS test and then have a m/c. I think the amnio is lower risk, but I'll figure that out when we meet the counselor. Haven't discussed it with DH at all, so I don't know what his thoughts are on it. I just turned 35 in August, have no defects in our family, so I don't think I'm necessarily that much higher of a risk than I was before August.

Hope everyone has a great day!
