Due In May :)

[Hann12]

Been so sick the past few days, just spontaneous vomiting with about ten seconds notice. It seems to have happened since I stopped taking my B6 vitamin! Can't believe how sick I feel!

Congratulations on the job Powell!
My Doppler is 3mhz, think get 3 if you want to hear it now, I think 2 is for a bit later in pregnancy. Happy to be corrected though!

That's what I've read also. That the 3mhz is for earlier and pregnancy and the 2mhz works better in overweight women and later in pregnancy. I found one that I think I'm going to order or eBay. It is the only one I've seen with a 1yr warranty. And I they estimate I'll have it Monday

Good luck Powell!

Hann I threw up the other day and didn't even feel sick! I'd been gagging which is now the norm for me and then suddenly blerghhh!

 

[prolifer]

I did manage to get some sleep, I kept waking up but I feel less tired today. Started to cough up all this icky green stuff and the ear pain is tolerable but still can't stop coughing. Aw, my bubba has hair and fingernails ^^

 

[AerisandAlex]

Good luck Powell!! Congrats also, that's always great news!

I hope your morning sickness comes down some soon girls, I still feel sick myself... I usually just snack all day long instead of eat big meals, it's the easiest way for me to eat without feeling sick! lol

I hope you feel better soon prolifer! That sounds awful, sounds like a really bad chest cold, I hope it goes away soon

LOL Hann, I'm sure if you turned it up to 3 later in the pregnancy it would echo into the neighbor's house! lol

I spoke with my doctor again today, this time face to face at her office... I brought my medical records and even my scans that I picked up this morning from the hospital to show her there is a fetus... however she still thinks the pregnancy isn't viable based on the size of the fetus.. the fact that it's 1.2cm tells her she should be able to find a heartbeat but since they were unable to, she's still 99% sure it's not viable

I kept questioning her, "Could I be earlier?" "Could I have ovulated late?" I think she picked up on what I was really trying to say and instantly said, "We don't have to do anything yet... even though I'm 99% sure, you need to be 100% sure and sometimes it can take awhile, especially since you have no reason besides the scans to say anything's wrong so we can do another scan next week and continue to do the scans until you're ready to do something or you start to miscarry on your own. There is no rush right now so we'll do whatever you feel comfortable doing." I agreed, I wanted another ultrasound, so we're going to have another next Wednesday, which makes me feel loads better... The staff all know my family personally so they have been worried about me, and I've had lots of questions from them which I don't mind answering, just is hard at times...

I'm still getting my second opinion, I already located a doctor today and going to call them first thing the morning to schedule with them too but I'm just glad she's not being pushy with this at all, I was really feeling like that's how today's appt was going to go but it went much better

 

[Sass827]

Great news Powell! hope the rest f you gals feel better soon. I went and saw a client today and she was so sick, like coughing up a lung. I already had a sore throat by the time I left her school. Ugh! I wish I could just say, "I'm pregnant! Stay away with your sick germs!"
Happy things went well today for you AnA. Keeping fx that your doctors 1% guess s the right guess.

 

[AerisandAlex]

Thanks Sass827 and you know, I'm starting to feel like she is too suddenly.

and lol, I know what you mean, DH has a bad smoking habit and he smokes outside but everytime he walks in to give me a hug I feel like screaming because I can still smell it on him

I was able to pull up my ultrasounds off the disc the hospital gave me and where I thought I might see something small, I see quite the opposite! The baby and the yolk sac nearly FILL the gestational sac!

I think I must be crazy or something but we saw my ultrasound last week and there was NOTHING, and NOW, THIS!

Granted, they're not the best pictures (They're all videos, I tried to catch them while she was zooming to the best position... ) I know baby is not moving, BUT it's a huge change from nothing at all to all this... I don't know where the baby was hiding and honestly, I was looking at my scans of my uterus and the sac is located at the TOP of the uterus but it's not that big a sac so I don't know where it was hiding!

 

[pinktiara]

Went to the dr today she told me I could take gravol before bed yay because this no sleep thing is crap especially with a toddler to take care of. Heard baby's heart beat it was 160 she is predicting a girl simply based on how easy my first pregnancy was and this one is such crap lol. got my genetic testing done damn vampires took all my blood lol than back again for more next month. I am showing like its nobodies business so we will be telling the rest of the family this weekend at my sons 3rd birthday party

 

[mathgenius33]

I finally had a chance to catch up here. A&A, I'm wishing you the best. It's definitely worth it to keep your hopes up. Happy belated birthday, Powell.

I hope a lot of people are feeling better from MS, but I'm hearing some are still vomiting. I have actually stopped vomiting, but now I'm just really gassy all the time. DH says I'm starting to show, but really it's just bloating I'm sure. The belly just appeared all of a sudden. I'm eating better, but I hate how picky I am. I used to always eat my veggies, but now I eat chips and cookies instead. The only meat I can handle is chicken.

Some of us are approaching the 2nd trimester. I've got 10 more days and then I'll start telling more family members.

definitely something in there!! I don't blame you for holding onto a string of hope. I really hope you're just not as far along and that there will be a beautiful heartbeat at your next ultrasound and that that will all feel like a bad dream. I'll be thinking of you hun!!

 

[prolifer]

Looks like a baby to me in the second photo.

My throat is raw from constant coughing all day long, I am exhuasted from not being able to stop!

 

[Hann12]

AandA I totally think you are doing the right thing to get another ultrasound next week, good for you sticking to your guns! It does look more baby like in the second shot. Its hard to tell though to be honest. FX for you though

I am seriously annoyed with my hospital now - I just called them again to chase my 12 week scan as I have still heard nothing and she said that I should hear next week! I told her that according to my LMP I am 11 weeks today, and my baby is measuring only 3 days behind the LMP, but the mw went with the fact that I have 5 week cycles so they are going with the dates on my ticker but even so I'm 10 weeks tomorrow with no scan booked in! She said they had staff shortages and were having trouble scheduling scans in as they only knew about a week in advance who was working. I said to her that I need notice so my husband can attend as he needs to book time off in advance but all she said was sorry and that I 'should' hear next week - however she said that last week so I have little hope!! Totally rubbish that they can't give proper notice - I mean people have lives and can't just drop everything easily because they finally decide to give an appointment!! Sorry for the rant, its just getting ridiculous now!

 

[Jary]

AandA there's defo something there and it defo looks baby shaped!

Hann that's really bad, they are supposed to have you booked in by week 10. Hope they give you a date soon! Mine still feels like ages away. A girl I went to uni with has just put up a scan pic to announce her pregnancy...she's due 3rd may and it made me so impatient to have mine! Want to see my bean is sprouting ok lol

 

[Hann12]

Are they? Well they have missed that deadline!! Its just annoying now, more so because I need to know DH will be there and I want to know when I can announce! I'm so fed up of my dad asking when he can tell my aunt and uncle too! I'm also seeing friends the weekend of 3/4th Nov and its going to be blatantly obvious I'm pregnant because I'm already showing so I'll have to announce it then without the scan which I'm a bit uncomfortable about, the fact that I've seen the baby makes me feel a bit better but ideally I would have liked the 12 week scan. I should have stuck to my LMP because at least then they would be scheduling it now and I'd know and it would have been the week before, probably delayed by a bit so I would actually have been 12 weeks, rather than now when I could actually be almost 14 weeks! So looks like I'll have to tell people before that scan, but won't announce on FB until after the scan.

Sickness is BAD by the way - worse than ever!

 

[Jary]

We are announcing to friends a week Saturday as they are all going to be out for Halloween and for a friends birthday...the scan is on the following Tuesday so we'll announce it on fb then.

Sorry for the ickiness Hann, I was feeling gaggy earlier but I've had my porridge so I'm feeling a bit better now

 

[Hann12]

I'm considering announcing earlier now as we have had the early scans and I can find the heartbeat. Speaking to DH tonight to see what he thinks!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Ahh I can't wait to announce! My parents don't even know yet coz stupid OH doesn't want to tell anyone until we have had the US! I personally think we should have told only our parents by now ! Anyway scan is booked for a week tomorrow but gonna try and reschedule as I found out I have a extra part of uni that I can't miss so gonna have to make it earlier that day (but means OH will miss it as he has one of his tests for the army and it looks like I will be going on my own since no one knows yet!) Or the coming wednesday but I will only be 10+5 then :/ x

You aren't too bothered about the NT anyway are you so 10+5 is probably fine? I will be GREEN with envy!! lol!
Would you have announced at 9 weeks if you were me if you had a scan then? I was measuring 9+4

I would have announced right after my BFP if steven would have let me if I have it at 10+5 will it give me an accurate due date? I know a lot changes in a few weeks but just not sure what a week and a half does. Gonna phone tomorrow and get something arranged xx

I have no clue to be honest, I'm sure it would be within a couple of days at least. Hope you can get it sorted!
