Due in June 2014!(88 sunflowers), 37 (blue), 24 (pink), (48) here!

[hoping:)]

It's nice to see some good scans on the thread. FX for all of those who have scans today

I've enjoyed reading everyone's intros so here is mine... My name is Amber and live in Colorado. I am 26 years old and have been married to my wonderful DH for nearly 6 years. I had a couple losses before I had my darling girl who just turned 2 this past tuesday. I am now pregnant as a gestational surrogate and just adore the dads to be

oh and Happy Halloween! What kind of plans does everyone have? Sadly I have to work but my DH is bringing our daughter in to trick-or-treat and then we will do some more trick-or-treating this afternoon with some friends. I've been so exhausted so this year we are keeping it low key.

Scan day! Scan day!! I'm soooooo nervous ladies!! I go in in 2 hours!! Eeeeeek!! My DH is away working so we have to Skype on the phone at the doctors.
Please send out baby dust and keep your fingers crossed for me! Im exactly 6 weeks today and i hope and pray everything is okay.

And good luck to everyone having scans today! I can't wait to see all the lovely scan pics!

Good luck for your scan! Fingers crossed you get some nice scan pics

Realised I didn't do an intro bit- I'm 21 and pregnant with my first. I've been with my fiance for 5 years

It's wonderful to hear the good news! Hearing heartbeat definitely will make it so real... Congrats on the twins!

24 hours for my first doctor appointment... So scared and nervous... Hope the baby is doing well...

So we got to my drs office and he did the scan right away, he thought I was coming in for a follicle scan so I was confused anyway it was an internal which I thought it would be... And there they were, my two little babies, with two little heartbeats, I could see in the one the heart beating straightaway and I got emotional Then he let us hear then and it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Twin A was measuring 6w5d twin b 6w3d, heart beats 143 & 136.

He was happy with the result, he said after you hear the heart beat there is a 89% success rate, after 12 weeks it goes up to 98%. My next scan is at 12 weeks but he offered for us to come in free of charge and have one done in between because he said 12 weeks is so far away to see my babies again! So we will probably go again at 10 weeks!

He also wants me to go to a fetal maternal specialist at 12 weeks because its twins we just want to make sure everything is okay. So I have attached a pic of my twins which he labelled as "trouble 1 & 2" I am so in love with them already! I asked him if there is anything I need to do differently with a twin pregnancy and he said "Yes, run away"

Good luck! Praying for good news for you and everyone who has scan today...

Oh I feel so nauseous today I wasn't feeling too bad yesterday and it had me wondering if everything is alright. But I'm feeling confident this morning that everything should be going ok, this nausea is so annoying, but also slightly comforting lol

I remember someone talking about burping a lot? I am burping all the time, they're like spew burps. DH keeps calling me little piggy lol.

Oh man I had the worst dream last night. I dreamt that I had a miscarriage and I gave birth to the baby which was so tiny. I put the baby in a snap lock bag because I wanted to get it tested for why I miscarried. Well DH panicked when I told him and called the ER. They told me to bring the baby in ASAP to see if they could save it. I quickly took the baby out of the snap lock bag and the heart was still beating. I was crying uncontrollably. I woke up after that THANK GOD!

What a relief that it was only a dream!! Stupid vivid pregnancy dreams!

Confuzion, how was your scan???

 

[jenniferannex]

Welcome and congratulations Liz!!

Glad more scans have gone well today so exciting!

 

[Boothh]

Hope all the scans today went well

We had a little halloween party and some fireworks! Just got into bed! Sooo tired now x

 

[justagirl2]

Thank you girls. I can't even put into words how nervous I am. There are butterflies--no wasps--wreaking havoc in my stomach.

Today is a big make-or-break for me. If all is well, I like to think I'll start to relax a little more. I can't even imagine what would happen if this experience was like my last first ultrasound (I can't help but compare even though the situation was different then).

I'm ready to get this moving so I know once and for all. I'm already showered up and dressed, and we're not leaving until over an hour from now . Then we have almost a 1hr20min drive to get there. They're far but I've found them worth the trouble. Plus the childbirth center is 5 minutes away from where my family lives so I always make it a day of visiting them as well. Today is a halloween so double the fun as I have many little nephews who I can't wait to see in their little costumes

Sorry. I think I get kind of chatty when I'm nervous

how did it go??

 

[1babydreamer]

Scan went perfectly. We saw one perfect little bean and we saw the heartbeat!! I had my dh on the phone but he couldn't see the ultrasound so well. Luckily we get to go back for a 7 week scan next Friday and the doctor thinks we'll be able to hear the heartbeat then. I can't tell you all how relieved I am! The doctor thinks my constant spotting/staining is due to vanishing twin syndrome. I'm just so happy and grateful that there's one strong bean in there!
I will try and upload the picture later when I get home from work.
Thanks for all your kind words and support ladies! I was a nervous wreck this morning!

Confuzion, how did your scan go?

 

[confuzion]

Sorry I'm late updating you ladies. After my appointment I went to my family's and now we're at my husbands.

Scan went perfect. We saw our bean/blob. We heard the heartbeat. Strong at 176 bpm!! I can't tell you all how relieving it is! I'm on cloud 9 right now

The picture is not all that clear but she said baby's head is on bottom and little arms and legs are bunched together at the top

 

[confuzion]

Welcome and congrats lizchase! I will add you soon as I get home!

Congrats on your scan babydreamer!

 

[CaliDreaming]

So happy for you confusion! I hope you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy now!

 

[ProudMomma2Be]

So happy all the scans went well !
Happy Halloween everyone ... Kinda late but still
I was just wondering ... Is any of you going to try any "homemade gender tests" ? I wanna know what we having so bad and even though I know it probably is not accurate it would be fun I think . a lot of baby tests say it's a girl , Chinese gender chart says boy . I feel like it's a boy although this pregnancy is completely different from what I have had last time ...
I feel like I am obsessed with knowing what we having without spending 300$ on early gender revealing blood test ...
I hope I am going to have a scan soon at least .
And how are you all feeling . I spoke up too soon yesterday . I had the worse ms in the evening and whole nite . Words can't even describe it how sick I felt but nothing came up . Today is better but I feel sick also . For me it is all day sicknes from the beginning except yesterday when it came little bit later .

 

[minni2906]

Congrats on all the wonderful scans.

I will update tomorrow. I am exhausted and going to bed now.

 

[Ibelieveitwil]

so happy everyone's scans went well!!

 

[trinity_enigm]

Oh everyone's scans look brilliant. I can't wait for mine but that's not until December! Must be lovely to see your beans looking so happy and snuggled xx

 

[jenniferannex]

Yay congrats baby dreamer and confuzion!!! I sooooo want mine to be here!!!! 17 more sleeps!!

 

[CaliDreaming]

1babydreamer, so glad your scan went well too!

jenniferannex, I tried trying to find baby's heartbeat again with the doppler and still nada! You are so lucky to have heard it twice. Any tips you can share? I hope I can find it soon because my next scan isn't for almost 3 weeks!
