Due In May :)

[eggo preggo]

Congrats skittles and eggo! So wonderful! Eggo- so funny that you know the length. Just found mine out today while on the phone with a woman from the hospital. She said it's 61 mm. Any ideas how to find out what normal range should be? Like aka, is this going to be a tall baby? Just wondering. DH is over 6 foot, but I'm only 5'3".
How'd it go cgav? Sending positive vibes your way!

Sass, i found a chart which gives you age to length. You seem about right for 12 weeks. In the first trimester the growth rate should be the same for everyone. That is how they predict how far along you are. Bit early to tell if the baby is tall, i reckon!

Ladies thanks for all the congrats
AnA your attitude is admirable, keep it up and big hug x

Starry so hope you get more news very soon can you maybe borrow a doppler from a friend?

Powell- sounds like you are going to make a brilliant mum

My doppler still has not arrived...pfffttt

Can't believe it but my scan letter came today!! It's for a week tomorrow -2nd nov so bang on 12 weeks! Unfortunately my DH now can't make that date. He's seeing if he can do anything but not looking very likely which is a pain as either I go alone which I'm not keen on or I move it but seeing as they have been so difficult to just get an appointment in the first place I can imagine that they will give me a really late one the following week and I'll be really cross to have to wait that long. Really hope DH can move things!!

Hann - congrats on the scan letter, finally. I would have been going mad. Too bad (so far) about OH - hopefully things will work out and he will be there with you.

AnA - sorry to hear - but as with everyone else, great attitude - I hope the next cycle works for you and that you continue this journey with us.

Starry - I would have to agree that a visit to the ER might be in order. I would definately be out of my mind waiting until 20 weeks.

Had my first OB appointment, no visual on the babies, but heard them both and it made me smile (of course lol). Like the OB, she seems very freindly and confident - very reassuring. Sadly, I don't get anther appointment until the next round of tests are done - Nov 5th or so....boo...

 

[Hann12]

BDownMommie - thats great that you heard them both! Bet its a relief. Nov 5th isn't long to wait - hopefully it will fly by!

DH just text, he can make the scan!! So excited, only have 8 days to wait!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Woooohooooo for scan date hann!! Xx

 

[BDownmommie]

That's so awesome he can be there - yay

prolifer - You could always wear a big sweat shirt to it? lol I don't know where the reunion will be so I don't know how cold it'd be, but that's what I'd do if I didn't want people to know! lol But I'm glad you stopped coughing! I know what you mean though, that's the same way here, as soon as one of us stops being sick, someone else gets sick! lol

Hann12 - I would be screaming by now for a scan, that seems so weird. Do you live in a town with a large or small hospital in the area? I mean around here, we have like 3 hospitals within range and a diagnostic center on top it and they all do scans, blood work, mri's, etc and they do it whenever a doctor tells them too. All I have to do is get a paper from the doc, she always writes me one walking out of the office, I mean she just gave me one today when I left for blood work on the HCG to see if it decreases. It just seems like they're stalling where they shouldn't be I'm so sorry they're being so stubborn but I'm glad you got your papers and that your DH can join you for your scan!


Stevensmummyx - Can't wait to see your scans!! Remember to post pictures here too

eggo - I hope you get your doppler soon so you can hear your little one's HB!

BDownmommie - I'm glad you got to hear them and that you have a great OB! That's always important

Thanks girls! It's been rough but you girls have been the best and it's really helped me through everything
My u/s today showed that my uterus is almost empty, seems to be a little something left but we can't tell what it is. My cervix is closed though so now we're just going to watch my HCG levels decrease now, I hope they come down soon, she said they could take a week or a month, I'm hoping it's the week! lol

I'm making one of these this weekend!

 

[Jary]

Yay Hann!!! So pleased you finally got your date! One of my work colleagues is 8 days behind me and she hasn't got any news from her midwife or got her scan date. Bit rubbish really.

Was worried I was getting a UTI yesterday and dipped my wee at work which showed leukocytes and protein...signs of infection but when I rang my doc she told me pregnant women often have these in their urine anyway even without an infection. I think it must just be baby putting pressure on my bladder as I haven't had any of the usual pain of UTIs. Hope it's baby anyway.

My boss went through my risk assessment at work today...certain things I can't do and patients I can't care for etc. then she mentioned mat leave, pay etc..eek!! Lol seems like ages away!

 

[prolifer]

I was laying on my side last night and then I rolled onto my back so I could turn to the other side and it hurt! Like something heavy pushed down suddenly when I lay on my back.

Catching up on the posts now

 

[pinktiara]

I get that if i move to quickly but it feels like a sharp quick pain the worst !

 

[Hann12]

Pro - could be just all the organs starting to squish together!

Jary, great that you've had the risk assessment sorted! All feeling more real now! We are almost 11 weeks!

Feeling horrible again tonight, think pregnancy related rather than illness though. Hoping its gone by tri 2 like it did with my DD. it would be nice not to feel yucky wouldn't it?!

 

[prolifer]

It sure would, I hate nausea so much!

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Is it sad that it's taken me this long to find this May forum?? )

May I join you ladies?

 

[Starry Night]

Welcome, BellaRosa!

I'm with everyone else on the nausea. It's always the worst in the evening for me. I just feel really disgusting. DH bought a bag of nacho chips for me to munch on. They really help.

I've been getting shooting pains up both sides of my groin all day. I'm really hoping it's growing pains and not a bladder infection or anything. Ugh.

 

[Sass827]

Adorable shirt Powell! Love it.
Hey Bella!
I've had the pain the last two weeks too. I was describing them to DH as someone with a Small torch making a line of fire up in between my hips. Not cool. Since I've had a scan this week, I feel safe saying the pain is normal. WeRe just in a serious growth phase is all.

 

[prolifer]

My MMORPG isn't working today so I just grabbed DH and went through DD's bedroom. Filled up the garbage bins and still not done yet! So many toys and rubbish lol

Hi Bella! Everyone's welcome here ^^

Not sure what to do with the toys that are too good to toss away though?

 

[Hann12]

Hi Bella! Nice to have you on here!

Pro - can you give them to charity? Or if they are really good make money by selling on eBay?

So my DH now has the sickness. It's harder for a man you know, they struggle much more than us lol! It's a really good thing women have the babies! Anyway he's in recovery, I do feel sorry for him as it was awful! I'm feeling more normal today, just the usual ms!
Starry - I'm worse afternoons/evenings too! I also have the pains, very bad last night actually so your post was very timely!

11 weeks today! Happy 11 weeks to all my due date buddies! What are we now? Limes? Exciting - sounds much bigger than a prune!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Welcome bellarose !

Yayyy lime day and also scan day for me ! Made my announcement t-shirt last night and it looks awesome if I do say so myself, will upload a pic later for you ladies to see!

Alsoo I get to finally tell people today! Thank goodness for that! Xx
