Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[monro84]

I have started looking in on NT scans I am not even sure if my ob does them. I got a call in for the nurse to call me back. I do know they do CVS but I really don't want that b/c increased mc risk. I would think if they did that then they would do the NT but I just don't know..

I don't think mine does either. She doesn't have me coming in until 15 weeks for my checkup and then she said at that time they would do the DS testing and if I wanted the CF testing. I am not doing any of the invasive stuff when they test for downs they just draw a little blood right? Don't the NTs have to be done before 14 weeks? I am confused about it as well.

I talked to my ob's nurse last fri and asked her she said it is a blood test done at 15 or 16 wks and then if that comes back positive I am sent to a detailed US dr 2 hrs away where my RE is (but its not my RE). I am also not sure if it tests for congential Heart defects or just downs. I also asked about why I did not have my pap and US last visit. She was just as confused as I was so she said the dr is out but will be back Mon and will ask him then and call me back. So I am waiting for a call back today. Hopefully I can get one on my next visit I will be 11 wks 5 days. Does nub theory work then? I also have my GD test to do then also.

Wow you will be a busy lady at your next appointment! Not sure about the nub thing. My last scan was at 6 weeks 1 day. My doc isn't doing another one until 20 weeks so I scheduled a private gender scan at 15w6d.
Your next scan will be close to 12 so I am sure some experienced ladies will be able to give you a good gender prediction. It is so much fun trying to guess.

Happy new year everyone!

Happy New Year everyone and thanks for the welcome!

What a wonderful thread this is full of lovely ladies. I have to say as beautiful will know that some threads that I try and get involved in or ask a question in my own thread im ignored

Congrats on everyones scans heres mine, your welcome to guess gender too hope to find out at 20 weeks which is scheduled for 18th feb.

No announcements for me at the min as my sis is expecting due in 5 weeks and dont want her to think im stealing her thunder as such so will wait til she has had hers

Hi everyone!!! Sorry I have been mia, busy being sick I lost another 4 lbs at my last visit and no US sadly!Im not getting another till 20 weeks! I had some spitting yesterday which scared me! All OB had to say is Its normal... Not very comforting

 

[srrhc]

Wantingagirl what precious precious pictures of baby. I am going to guess girl but I am not really good at it haha!

Lvn sorry no us! And sorry your doctor wasn't a little more comforting! How is the spotting now? When is your next appointment?

 

[BeautifulD]

WAG I know only too well I don't really post anywhere else now as I get sick of talking to myself....Ho hum

This isn't the only website either, I've posted on babycentre a few times and got minimal replies, most of which where a bit sh*tty
so I've dropped that site out

Ugh I'm so so tired today ladies and my stomach is uber sensitive.... I'm wondering if because I'm reducing on the steroids now the pregnancy symptoms are starting to creep through

Happy New Year my beautiful beach bumps!

Lovely scan pics wantinggirl!

Hope all start feeling better who are rough. I have baaaaaad acne my poor face...

Erm I'm 14 weeks, when did that happen?

Xxxx

 

[srrhc]

Beautiful I have felt more tired as well??? Not sure what it could be from.

Flapjack 14 weeks oh my! The time will just continue to fly!

 

[Scorpio23]

This morning I noticed brown blood. Im really scared. The bleeding is minimal but I have a bad feeling. Im at the ER now. Nurse said the wait could be up to 6 hrs.
Im trying my best to remain positive.

 

[srrhc]

I am praying for you hun. Remember brown means old. I hope you don't have to wait 6 hours.

 

[Scorpio23]

Nurses were great but dr was a bitch. HCG is good @ 110,000. But I cant have an U/S til Fri morning.
Back to ER if theres bleeding or clotting. Ive decided to tell my boss whats happening as I wont be going back to work for the rest of the week.

 

[wantingagirl]

Lvn - so sorry you arent getting an US til 20 weeks whys that hun?

Srrhc - thanks hun Im thinking girl too!!!

Beautiful yep Im the same just this one, the extremely odd thing in 1st tri and july sunbeams and my own journal. I get sick of answering other people as much as I can and get nothing back. Oh yeah I didnt like babycentre at all some people on there were not very nice not like the people I have grown close to on here the lay out on here seems more personal for some reason too. Oh I could be hun have to say tho maybe alot of stretching happens at 13 weeks as I have been feeling alot of pain too.

Flapjack thanks hun, happy new year to you too!!! Thank you Im in love it was so cute wriggling round on the screen gets me every time. I here you with the acne 2nd tri for me in 3 days! Happy 14 weeks hun!

Scorpio so sorry for whats happening I hope everything is ok. Thats good to stay at home, are you still bleeding. I dont get why they do this to people send them home for a couple of days they have the equipment there and you are quite far along. I bet you if they was pregnant and worked at the hosp they would get special treatment! All the best hun

 

[Scorpio23]

I just checked and the bleeding is almost gone.
I hope it stays that way. Will take extra special care of myself from now on.

 

[BeautifulD]

Scorpio I'm sorry you're going through this honey Why on earth didn't they scan you there and then!?

I slept from 8pm last night right the way through until 6 this morning I'd like to say I feel better for it but I don't haha... I feel hangover

so.... I'm confused.... is second tri... 13 weeks, 13+3 or 14 weeks??

Wag.... some of the people on bc are horrible! I get a morning email so of course read some of the threads... some of the replies are seriously WOW

I had two girls on there trying to make me look stupid on my nub thread and was trying to tell me you have to have a potty shot to see the nub!!

 

[Scorpio23]

I think 2nd Tri is 14 weeks from LMP. I was also wondering the same thing.

 

[flapjack10]

Scorpio - I hope all is fine with bubs. Feels so cruel to leave you to wait for a scan It is better that it's brown and doc said that although bleeding in pregnancy isn't "normal" it does happen to 20-30% of ladies at any stage of pregnancy. Thinking of you.

I tend to steer clear of other threads on here. Although sometimes when I'm bored I'll go to the Help section and see a thread about someone trying to get someone else banned. I'll then snoop and read the thread that it all kicked off in. I'm such a nosy cow haha!

Hey ladies! Hope u have all had a wonderful Christmas and new year!! I had a fab time my morning sickness eased off a bit Christmas Day I think I'm starting to feel a bit better. The acid reflux is another matter though Rennies have become my best friend! Got my midwife on Friday very excited its my first meeting with her. Hoping she'll have a listen with the Doppler for my bubba, although got my 12 week scan next thurs so not long to wait!!
Scorpio sorry to hear you've been bleeding, I'm sure your wee bean is just fine though. Hope u get reassurance soon.
Sorry to hear some of you have had rubbishy replies (or lack of replies!) in some threads. I tend to only post in a few, although being such a nosey bugger I tend to read a lot of them.
Beautiful second tri is confusing I don't know where it begins either. I know in a America it's 14 weeks though.. And I'm guessing we are 13 weeks?? I always used to think it was 12 weeks cause that's when the first major scan was!!
Wanting a girl what a fab pic! Love seeing scans! Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

Haha FJ I had no idea about that section....

well.... if you divide 40 by 3 it works out at 13.3.... I think I'm going to go with that

When I had my girls I thought 2nd tri was 12w....

 

[srrhc]

Wow beautiful you are 13 weeks too! Everyone is getting so high in there numbers now!!!!

 

[BeautifulD]

I am *big grin* I'm so made up, this is the furthest I have got since my youngest nearly 11 years ago!! so so so exciting! I really don't think it's sunk in yet... after all the losses I tend to just spend the whole of first tri getting from day to day... now I'm like WOW we're really going to have a baby lol
