Hi Everyone,

I was off for Christmas so I haven't been on much.
I had a brief scare during the holidays and went to the ER when I had some spoting. An US revealed the baby is still bopping around in there lol...They also might have seen a wee nub for a boy but I think that may be too early as I was only 15.4 at the time.

Anywho, I have my first OBGYN appointment tomorrow and I hope she checks the heart beat so I can have more confirmation lol since there is no bump just bloat still. I think I will be having a pap test also because I haven't had one yet. A bit nervous about someone poking around in there, lol.

Anyways I hope everyone is good.

Bree, I will be off to the doctors like you tomorrow so I wish you all the best xx

Hey Jenny :)

Sorry to hear about your scare so happy to hear baby is still cooking in there :) woow so it could be a little boy ?I cant wait for you to find out!

I am flirting with the idea of going for a 4d scan...seems very appealing to me at the moment, just thought there really will be no other time to see something so neat and so cool ,my little baby in my tummy...I may do so in the next week or so :)

I love all the appointments,they make me feel like an official pregnant lady lol which is a wonderful feeling!

Pray that all goes well tomorrow with your appointment , let us know how you get on! :)
 
Thanks Bree :)
I am nervous and excited these appointments make me crazy until they are done lol

Good luck to you also, you have an appointment too right?
 
LoL lol

Yes!!! I see the consultant tomorrow :) will give me a chance to see about these awful cramps I have had for past 2 days now :( also have terrible pelvic pain which made it difficult to walk so I have been a little bit of a whiner past few days!I am thinking I need to see a physio !
 
Sorry to hear about your scare Jenny. But glad you could see him(?) dancing around in there!

Bree that's not good to hear about your pain. Hope your ob can at least give you some answers. And of course that something can be done about it.
With regards to the 4D scan I've heard it's better to have it done between 28 and 32 weeks. I've never had one so can't comment but on my April thread they had a long debate about it.

I'm off to see the doctor this afternoon (Wednesday). I was hoping the appointments every two weeks only starts at 32 weeks but it looks like it's from now. Bit bummed about that because I haven't budgeted for an extra consultation. But I'll manage! I can't believe I'm 27 weeks tomorrow and entering the third trimester! Time certainly is going by quickly.
 
Well I past another milestone today, saw the ob for the first time
she checked for the heart beat and she said it was very strong,
she didn't tell me the rate only that she liked the sound of it!

She also said the NT scan and blood work were all good, again she didn't
give me the numbers but if she is happy so am I.

All that's left is another blood test for the second part of the screening,
And gender scan/anatomy scan at 20 weeks, well for now anyways :thumbup:

So happy and relieved today!

Bree, hope your appointment went well and everyone else is doing well also!
 
Jenny the is great that you had a good appointment. Every milestone is such a treat!

I'm officially in the third trimester! My appointment went well. Baby is measuring 9 days ahead which has me a little worried. I'm terrified of having a huge baby but I also can't afford for him to come early! Please pray he stays put until at least 28th March!
 
Woohoo congrats on third trimester :)
Don't worry about measuring ahead just means you have a very healthy baby in there!
 
Hey Lovelies,

Jenny, I am so happy to hear that your appointment went well!! :) Hearing that baby is doing well is so comforting :D when is your next appointment?

Bean- Congratulations on making it all the way to the 3rd trimester!!SOunds like you have a gorgeous healthy baby in the oven :) I will pray for you to go full term. It is so exciting that you will have a boy and a girl now too!!That's so sweet xx

My midwife appointment didn't go so well.. the baby is fine and growing well, heartbeat was amazing etc. Thing is out here we don't pay for health care so you are kind of processed through the system like cattle and if you have a problem that is not causing "too much grief without taking cocodemol" then they kind of don't take you so seriously...I told my midwife about the awful pain I have am having with walking, going upstairs, getting out of bed,and general moving around and she did not refer me to a physio as I had hoped. SInce the appointment the pain has got worse and everytime I move around I can hear my pelvis clicking... it is excruitiating. I have read up on it and have found out that this can cause permanent damage :( I have resorted to going to see my normal GP I will probably have to cry my eyes out and act up just so that they will pay me attention.. Its just I really need them to take me seriously as I have a job and it is making it tough to move around at work and stuff :(

In happier news.. I have had a 4d scan today :D ( I went private for this so had to pay ) I got to see my babies cute face and the baby was smiling and I could really start to see features of the babies face, it looks a lot like me LOL dh was so shocked when I sent the pix because last time we saw a scan we were convinced it would be dh twin!AHh well :D Gender was confirmed too but gonna wait until 20 week scan to confirm as I know mistakes can be made so early on.

Has anyone else had a 4d scan before? They say that 26 weeks is the best time to really see the features etc...I will be going back for another one then!
 
Great your scans went well Bree,
Sorry your having so much pain that is horrible they won't do anything for you, hopefully it will ease up soon!

I just booked my 10 week gender scan for Jan 30, I will only be 19.1 then but I hope it will be late enough to see what they need to. I didn't want to wait any longer because my next OB appointment is Feb 4 and I wanted her to be able to see everything just in case there was anything to discuss with me and in the event the ultrasound tech won't tell me the gender right there :)

I hope so too!! I really just need to see a physio!!

Yaay your 20 weeks scan is going to be amazing!!At least you will finally get to have gender confirmed finally :happydance:
 
Bree I'm glad you had a good scan! Sorry you didn't get the referral you wanted! I hope your gp is more sympathetic.

I had to go back to have my blood tests done again because the nurse sent them for the wrong test! When I got there they called my doctor and he arrived with a gift for me to say sorry! Shame he felt so bad.

Today is Saturday and I have to work :) A six day work week the first week back is a killer!

Awwww that is so sweet that your doctor offered a gift for the mistake!The same thing has happened to me before however I wasn't lucky enough to get a gift lol so good on ya lol x x

Awww sorry you have to work today!The first weeks back are always so tough!

Ladies I need a pray at this time as me and dh are considering moving to be closer to my mom who is more than two hours away in another city. This is so that I can have help with the baby and return to work at some point after I have had the baby. If we stay here I will not be able to afford childcare and will have no help and therefore will not be able to go back to work .

We have been searching for housing and a place has come up just 10 minutes from my family and I am going to view it next Saturday.

We have been thinking over this and praying for a resolution and nothing was happening for a while and now things seem to be moving very very fast. Please can you pray that the Lord would orchestrate this move and get us a good place and dh a new job in that area.

It is so daunting thinking about moving on from here but I know that it would be best for the baby for us to be nearer to our family as living here is so expensive.

I don't think I was quite prepared for the changes that I would have to make in order to have this baby and the sacrifices that we would have to make!
 
Hey ladies, I hope you are all well.


I am asking for some prayers.
Baby finally cooperated for the scan on Thursday so we could have the measurement done. Heart beating, baby measuring correct for our dates but NT measurement higher than they would like. Got blood test results yesterday and we are in a high category so we have to go to the hospital on Monday to see the screening team and maybe have some more tests.

I have been so upset this is not the news we expected. After the miscarriages I thought we had been through enough.
Am feeling better today and being positive, just got to wait and see what Monday brings.

Awwww hun xx You have been so strong to come through everything that you have so far. I will definitely be praying for you that the results don't reveal any real problems for the baby. I really thank God for bringing you to 13 weeks pregnant already and I will pray that God will protect your lo and that your pregnancy will be a healthy one. Please keep us updated on what happens next xx Thinking of you xx
 
Thanks so much for your kind words.

Because we are in high risk we have been given three options. CVS, Amniocentesis or a new blood test which is called Harmony.
All three give the same results but can be done at different times.
In our area we would have to pay for the bloods tests as not offered on our health care system.
We will also be given an extra scan at 16 weeks.

We have a choice to make but we have time so no rush right now, just letting things sink in.
 
I really am sorry you are going through this sporty! Big hugs to you.
Just to share my best friend was in a very similar situation to you. She had a healthy pregnancy and followed by two miscarriages. When she fell pregnant again after that she did was given a 1:5 chance of downs. She decided to go ahead with the amnio and all came back clear. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl last March. I really hope your story ends well like this too.

Awww hun I totally agree you shouldn't feel rushed into making a decision until you are 100 % ready to xx

My mom went through similar she was told that my sibling nt was high and was high risk for several conditions* which of course was an emotional time. At that time I believe the CVS was the way they tested. She went ahead with it..5 months later she gave birth to a healthy baby girl and fast forward 12 years she is still thriving and doing well and has not one of the things that they had tested* for .Miracles do happen and sometimes all is not as it seems, I pray the same happens for you xx

Please keep us up to date with all that is going on hun as you and* baby are* very much in our hearts xx
 
Ladies,

How is everyone doing ?

I'm 18 weeks now time seems to be going so slowly ..lol I still only have a small podge rather than a bump lol :) Can feel baby kicking everyday though which is nice xx

I think baby is having yet another growth spurt as I've become really tired again ! Apart from that I've gained my appetite back and don't feel nauseous anymore thank God !!

How are you all doing this week and when are your due dates my one is 19th /20th June though hard to pin point since its an ivf baby :)
