[Mommy2be20]

Chester1 - big hugs coming your way hun Celeste is a beautiful name, especially the meaning! x

gigglebox - Please let us know if/when you get a response, I'm very curious to hear if they have any hearts! And what's the countdown til next scan now?! x

 

[Blizzard]

Gigglebox I can't wait to see the response they send you! What *******s. X

Haha that gets starred out, ah well the point stands . X

 

[gigglebox]

I agree with the stars lol; on the plus side since I'm "high risk" now, I get to have all my scans with the maternal fetal doctor instead of the radiology place! so yay!

I sent that e-mail from my work (because I work in a medical-related business and thought I may have more power with that e-mail ) so I'll see tomorrow if they have responded yet.

Countdown is 3 days until the next scan (wednesday) Again I am nervous but not as much as with the last scan. I just can't wait until I start feeling him so I don't need these scans and dopplers to reassure me he's still kickin' in there!

 

[Mommy2be20]

Yay for only 3 more days!!! I had a feeling it was coming up! I started feeling movement last week (first baby, yes) and it's daily already It's coming hun! I described my first feeling as a little gentle poke .. some will say flutters or popping bubbles. Try and stay in tune with your body either when you start moving around in the morning or when settling into bed at night, seems easiest to notice them x

How exciting Gigglebox! I can't wait to hear all about your scan on Wednesday. I have a feeling it's going to be great!

Coincidentally my next scan is on Wednesday too. Can't wait to hear my little baby again.

Got my e-mail from the radiology place--the manager said she was gone off last week and will be following up with me today or tomorrow. I'll let you know what she says...

In the meantime, my high-risk office called right at noon (they close from 12-1 for lunch) to tell them to call them! So now i'm nervous again lol...does it ever end?

In other news my grandmother has failing kidneys. She has agreed to treatment but if it goes as far as dialysis she might not...it's hard to say.

life! what can you do.

 

[Blizzard]

Good luck with the call, let us know what's up . Everything will be fine! Xxx

 

[BrandysBabies]

Oh! Did you call them back? Now I am nervous too! Lol!

 

[RBurnett]

welcome to the madness ;0)

the office just had a problem with my insurance she said it was something they messed up on their end...and she apologized for making me nervous lol

anyone have any tips on relieving a 4 day long headache?

 

[Blizzard]

Paracetamol and sleep? Plenty of water. Xxx

 

[gigglebox]

drinking tons of water and took some tylonel...not doing the trick and now to top it off my back is getting really sore. OHHHH the joys of pregnancy!

 

[Mon_n_john]

I'm so sorry Gigglebox. I've had bad headaches for days now. 2 Tylenol a day and a biet of diet coke plus extra protein seems to be helping.

 

[Chester1]

good luck for your scan gigglebox, cant wait to hear how you go.... very nerve racking i know but i feel it will be all good. even good pregnancies are sometimes nerve racking without all the extra complications. i think being under high risk will be the best care for you and bubs!

 

[Mommy2be20]

Glad the doctor's office was just a misunderstanding, although I'm sure the wait was pretty intense As for the headache, I suffered for a good week or two with headaches, specifically the 15th week as well! I found if I took two Tylenol and something with caffeine (hot chocolate), the Tylenol would work better But I'm sure lots of water and resting your head as much as you can will help it subside some too! x

 

[modo]

Good luck

 

[gigglebox]

hmmm i'll have to try that next time! fortunately, though my stomach has been a little unsettled, my headache has finally subsided.

I woke up early this morning thinking today was Wednesday. I was really excited to see bun...then I realized it was only Tuesday! I can't wait for tomorrow; nervous though...SO glad I made an appointment in the morning so I don't have to wait for the day to go by!

 

[no drama mama]

anyone have any tips on relieving a 4 day long headache?

Normally I would say booze but clearly that's not a good idea for any of us. lol!

 

[Mommy2be20]

Thinking of you cannot wait to hear your update hun xx

 

[gigglebox]

update time!

Good news: fluid on the back of the neck is completely gone! the doctor said if he didn't know it was there he wouldn't even comment on it anymore. Also the doctor and the nurse kept commenting on how active Bun is.

Bad new: the heart is the same as last time; I guess this isn't necessarily bad news because it hasn't gotten worse, but I wish it had improved. Because of this my doctor is still a little concerned; next appointment is in 3.5 weeks with him and a geneticist that he likes. This makes me a little nervous as he said the point of seeing the geneticist was to "tie things together"...i don't really know what that means lol. he mentioned noonan's, which I was going to be tested for but decided against. I'm thinking maybe the heart thing could be a genetic defect? I don't really know...but I am nervous again

In the mean time...the doctor that did my original scan is out of the country but the manager of that radiology facility says she'll talk to him next week and get back to me then.
