Due Sept 2017

[Savasanna]

Well good luck and be sure to update us! What time is the scan?

 

[Lucinda7981]

Savasanna scan is at 8:30 am. I read you are having another on fri is your crazy re having you do any more betas in between?

 

[ladybrown33]

Lucinda I think you are the first in this group to get a scan lucky you! I'm still a whole long week away from it.

I can't wait to hear the update

Savasanna scan is at 8:30 am. I read you are having another on fri is your crazy re having you do any more betas in between?

Haha. No, I think I'm finally done with the betas. Ended up with 5 of them!

Although - it was pretty nice getting a little bit of reassurance every 4 days, I must say. I'm glad to not have to drive the hour to get to the appointment tomorrow morning (and then hour back to work) but I do wish I could have another little "pssst - everything is going ok so far!" whispered into my ear. I can't wait until Friday.

My RE likes a scan at 6 wks and 8 wks before they discharge you to your ob. My RE is in St Louis and I'm in FL so they sent me orders and I had the liberty of scheduling I also scheduled an in between visit with a ob so I'll get a scan tues, sat with ob....nothing for a wk(booooo) or I can push that sat apt to somewhere during this wk...and then another scan tues the 24th which would make me like 8 wks 3 days.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I'm jealous! My midwives don't do any scans until the NT unless you're unsure on dates or something, and they just take your word for it that you're pregnant I'm hoping we can hear a heartbeat on Doppler at my first appointment, but it's unlikely, especially given my weight.

 

[Savasanna]

Yea - that's how the midwifery works around here, too. When I was pregnant last time I called them and made an appointment for 10 weeks. They won't even do an intake with you prior to that.

I think the million of appointments you get with an RE is both a curse and a blessing. I've had 5 betas and 2 scans before I even hit 6 weeks. I've had several reassurances but now also have a list of things to worry about that I wouldn't otherwise have been aware of. I think those two things kind of cancel each other out.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Yeah, I love that they don't get intensely medical with uncomplicated pregnancies, but I wouldn't mind an early peek! They did offer me one when I was a nervous first timer and they couldn't find anything on Doppler, but I'm not sure if they will again or if we'd do it anyway - last time at least, we had to pay up front and it was subtracted from the deductible.

 

[wannanewbaby]

So exicted we finally have some ladies reaching scan time i still wont get one for another 2 weeks

How is everyone feeling overall?? I still really having nothing in the way of symptoms this pregnancy is very different then one with my son

 

[MrsKChicago]

I'm getting a bit more heartburn, but nothing major. Just fatigue. My stomach has been a little unsettled here and there, but barely.

 

[08marchbean]

Can I join? I think I'm due around the 10th sept but not sure on exact dates

Same. I'm more tired than usually and am definitely feeling off, but it comes and goes and really isn't so bad. Oh, and my wife says I may be a little more irritable than usual.

March - Welcome and Congrats!

Lucinda - Good luck today! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

 

[Savasanna]

(That said. I'm feeling pretty crappy at this precise moment. Just got to work and am so so so wishing I were still in bed/feeling a bit queasy. But, I'm still at the point where symptoms are exciting and I'm sure this will pass in an hour or so. I DO wish I could have a big ole cup of coffee! Might have to bump my afternoon tea up to the morning.)

 

[08marchbean]

Anyone else having a hard time sleeping?
I feel tired. It at night I can't get to sleep then I toss and turn all night. So frustrating.

[icegurl470]

So I called the dr office today because my husband wont be able to stay for the whole appointment on the 30th which will be my first appointment with a new dr and I wasnt sure if it would include an u/s or not. She said they do a preliminary u/s in the office with a portable u/s machine, but my first official u/s wont be until 12 or 20 weeks depending on whether I want the NT study done or not. I've never had an u/s using one of these machines, but I'm guessing it's not as clear as the ones they use in the hospital.. I will be 9 weeks exactly based on lmp but my cycle was a little irregular and averaged 35-42 days (because I was nursing) so im a little worried I could be earlier or further along (cant be much earlier tho because i got a dark bfp in the afternoon on the 30th day of my cycle) Anyway, my question is will they be able to see a heartbeat and confirm my due date? If they dont, will they send me to the hospital to confirm viability? Im very low risk and I know it seems silly but it wont seem real to me until I see him or her.. Thanks!

 

[wannanewbaby]

March yes i am struggling horribly to sleep at night everytime i lay down my nose instantly feels like it is stuffed up so then i toss and turn all night trying to find a position i can breathe well in its horrible!!

Icegurl i really am not much help i dont know if the machine they use at my doc is considered portable or not but i will get a scan on it at 8 weeks and you can see everything well and they will measure its size and i assume its to make sure its in right location and heartbeat. So hopefully that is what they will do for you also

 

[Lucinda7981]

I'm back from scan and wanted to post a quick update before stuffing my face lol...I'm starving!
I saw my lil bean and heartbeat!!!! My next US will be sat with OB and then another two weeks from today. I'm excited that the OB I chose those ultrasounds at every visit....boy am I going to be spoiled!!!!!

 

[Lucinda7981]

Oh one last joke...the woman doing the Sono wanted to remind me that I have a retroverted uterus...really thanks
