Due In May :)

I must be very lucky - I got an ultrasound the first visit (that was for dating) but they have a flat screen tv on the wall so you can see everything they are doing and she was great at pointing out everything - even though there wasn't a lot at 4 weeks but she still showed me all the parts there and how they measured...crossing my fingers it stays that way.

That's exactly how the lady did at my first US. I got lucky tho because the regular US tech at my OB was on vacation and she came from another office. She was really nice and explained everything that she was doing
 
Thanks everyone. :hugs:


I think I'm the laziest First Tri mom ever! Dh works from home a lot so he looks after DS. This is really nice but I think it's making me lazy. With DS I had to be on bed rest but this time I don't. I'm just so useless when I'm nauseous and don't know how to fight through it. I could sleep all day.

One of our farmer friends gave us a freezer full of meat which DH wants to use exclusively to save us grocery money. Makes sense but it's pretty much all steak and right now the thought of them makes me feel so ill! So we're just having sandwiches, take out and other freezer/instant foods and DH is making half of those meals. I know there are pregnant ladies who run around right up until their due dates. How do you do it???? I'm hoping I'll feel more energetic in the 2nd tri. Things like vacuuming and dusting are going to have to wait until then.

I just feel so guilty like I'm ignoring DS. I do get breaks from my nausea so during those times I'll play with him (he likes to play rough sporty kind of games) but most times it's all I have just to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't hurt himself.

Anyone else feel like a useless slug?

ME! My DH works from home too with our landlord on the farm behind our house, but right now with the cold weather settling in it's been more of him being home (although he's been out this passed week) but when he is home, I find myself saying, "I'm going to bed!" lol I'm just so tired all the time, and feeling sick too... I want to eat, I know I can eat but my stomach says, NO! So I end up staying in bed as long as possible... DS and DD will come in and lay down with me and watch movies so we can spend time together but the rest of the house, forget it... I actually found some energy today to clean it, I was shocked, didn't know where it came from, I don't know how it'll be tomorrow though! :p
 
Looks like I'm going to have to change my ticker. Baby Powell measured 9w2d today!

What?! Powell that's so crazy! A whole extra week? Wow! Does this mean I was right about when you O'ed ten thousand years ago?

It's a 4 day difference. But I've read that the US measurements can be off by +/- 5 days. I'm not sure if that would mean my O day is different than what we thought, or that baby is just growing faster lol
 
Either way, it's very cool! Welcome to the olive club!
 
I am a blueberrry. 7+3. Due may 23 according to LMP.

I am getting well clued up on the lingo you all use on here. Took me a while to figure some of them out!
 
Thats great Powell congratulations! Glad the u/s went well! Most peoples DD changes when they have the 12 week scan - some change by just a day but I know peoples who change by a week even, its not down to ov date but just the speed the baby grows. My due date with my DD was changed from the 18th July to 16th July at my 12 week scan, I was pretty sure when I ov though, anyway I had her 4 days overdue which I'm sure was really only 2 days overdue.
 
That's such a lowly scan pic Powell! Looks like baby Powell is doing fabulous!

Thanx! I'm glad too. I went to the ER this AM because I am very impatient and since I can't get back in with my OB til Nov 5th, I decided to just go ahead and go so I wont be worrying the whole time :) I feel much better now about my symptoms coming and going. And I hope this helps you ladies too! This is the 3rd time my due date has changed, it changes with every US so far lol
 
Hi ladies, do you mind if I join you ? I'm new to the forum :flower:
After a long time and on my 4th IVF I'm finally pregnant !!!!! :happydance:
I'm 7 wk 2 days and due on 24th May. So excited !!!!
 
Wow Powell! What a great scan picture! I love when they look like little gummy bears. :) I agree with Hann - I think the 12 week scan is the most accurate when giving your due date. That's always the one I end up going with. But congratulations! So excited for you!

Welcome Frostie! Congratulations... sounds like it's been quite the journey for you! Thrilled you finally got your BFP and welcome to the May mommies! We're a pretty great group if I do say so myself!

12 week scan? The US tech told me today that the first is the most reliable? I wonder which one is more accurate now! lol
 
Welcome to all the new ladies! And congrats on your bfps! :flower:

That's a beautiful scan, Powell! It came out soo clear.

Thank you! I know, the others were kinda blurry. Looked like a different machine tho (this one was ER rather than OB office) so I guess that's why. I love seeing my little one!
 
Hopefully I won't have any further issues with this pregnancy so that means I probably won't get a chance to see my baby until 20 weeks. I don't think they do 12 week ultrasounds out here.
 
Thank you for the warm welcome ladies.

Powell - wow your picture really is clear. Its lovely to see isn't it.

Starry Night - that is a long wait. Is there any chance of a private scan with someone else?
