Early 30's TTC #1

[MsJMouse]

Aisak - I had some cramping after orgasm in 1st tri with this pregnancy. Didn't really have major cramping last year so every pregnancy is different. Not much Ms with either, though I have had lots of probs with sinus (weather related mostly) this time which makes gag and dry heave.

 

[Aisak]

So the RE (nurse) called today about my ultrasound. At the ultrasound (not at the RE's) the doctor there dated me at 7 weeks 3 days and showed me the heartbeat (144). When i spoke to the nurse today she mentioned that they spotted some fibroids and she said "but you probably know about that". Ummmm....noooooo. Since when do i have fibroids? i know lots of women have them and their pregnancies go fine. But the negative nelly part of me is like: here we go. i knew there would be problems. Why can't this just go smoothly?

Trying not to panic or read too much about what google has to say about miscarriage or stillbirth.

Fuck.

 

[MsJMouse]

Hopefully if they noticed the fibroids now that just means they will keep a closer eye on things. Good HB so that is a great start.

Aisak - I have fibroids too. I knew I had one small as they saw it at my IVf but at my 12 week scan I was told a had a few and they werent small!!! I freaked too and avoided google etc, but 10 weeks on and I can honestly say I dont think about them. All my books say that they are pretty harmless and move out of the way for baby - I do have an appointment with a consultant next Tuesday to discuss them, but my midwife said it will probably be a case of a scan or two towards the end to see whre they are positioned - if they are near the cervix ten you may have to have a c-secton.

Fibroids are common hon, please dont worry.

SB, whatever brings you comfort is only a positive no matter who else thinks it makes sense, and I'm sure your little one really is just waiting for the perfect time.

Everyone else, thinking of you in your various stages of your journeys!

Aisak, I too have fibroids and I totally agree with mrsmax. Also note that more than 50% of women have fibroids and 90% of fibroids are asymptomatic. Mine were not and I ended up needing surgery but that was before I even got pregnant. If you didn't even know you had them then I assume yours were not symptomatic. If you want some helpful, non-scary support or have any questions there is a fibroid group here you could join.

All the best to everyone!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aisak, try not to worry hun.

Readyornot Angelo is looking gorgeous! What a sweetie

[MrsPTTC]

Mrsmax you're near v day?! (I assume its 24 weeks?) x

 

[mrsmax]

Yep MrsP - ticker says today but I think I am a day ahead - but either way def 24 weeks now. I cant believe I got to V-day!! Just hoping minimax stays put for at least another 13 weeks

 

[readyORnot]

yaay for v-day!

 

[MsJMouse]

Yay for V day!!!

 

[Soleil Breeze]

What is V-day, MrsMax? But since everyone is congratulating you on it, I will, too! CONGRATULATIONS!! Does it mean that your little one would be viable outside the womb?

Aisak - I ditto everything everyone said previously. Fibroids do not mean something bad for you or your baby. Sometimes they make it difficult for people to get pregnant, but woman, you ARE pregnant! Focus on the positive!! "Everything is fine; everything is fine." SAY it, MEAN it and BELIEVE it.

I am so glad that everyone is progressing so well in their pregnancies (go lemons!) and post-pregnancies - Angelo is gorgeous and so is Jack!

AFM, guess what? Yes, ladies. Two weeks since my last checkup and I am STILL "pregnant." My level seems to be cutting in about half every week. So I was thirty-something two weeks ago, today I'm just under NINE. They are pretty confident that my hcg will be in the "negative" by next week Tuesday and they want me back in for a blood draw. I told them no, that I'm coming in in two weeks. That way we can be SURE that it will be in the negative. It's just frustrating that this Friday will be two months since the D&C and my body isn't back to normal yet.

Heck, who am I kidding? It's just frustrating generally.
I haven't gone crazy yet

 

[mrsmax]

SB - that is FRUSTRATING!!! As if you need all of this on top of everything.

Yes, V day means babies have a chance outside the womb, although it would be very touch and go so I tell minimax every day s/he has to stay put.

 

[pink80]

Aisak - I echo what the others have said, don't worry about it - you are pregnant and you're going to stay that way!

Soleil - I can't believe it's still in your system, you're being so strong

MrsMax - happy v day

Xxx

 

[readyORnot]

SB, sorry your levels are taking so long to normalise. I'm glad they're going down though, so hopefully at your next check it'll be all back to normal.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Soleil sorry Hun fxd for next week x

 

[MsJMouse]

SB. Fingers and toes crossed that the next blood test showed no HCG.

Ages since any posts on here

Heard hb last tues & pram ordered Today I'm positive I've felt baby p move. 2 weeks til 20 week scan Eek!

How is everyone? Any news from anyone still TTC??

x

 

[MsJMouse]

Yay for feeling baby move MrsPTTC. You are more organised than me - haven't ordered a pram yet. Happy belated 18 weeks. I think you said you were staying team yellow as well- is that correct?

All going well here in Oz. Currently in Darwin for a conference and absolutely exhausted. Bring on Saturday when I go home. If only I could do nothing on Sunday but housework will be waiting! Fuzzy isn't moving so much the last day or so but I think that is more to do with me being busy and not noticing movement than an actual lack of movement.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hey msj, yes I'm far too organised I've bought loads! Only reason I got the pram so early was because MIL bought it & there was an offer on it so I didn't want to miss out.

I feel your pain, I hate busy weekends when there's no time to relax!

When did you feel fuzzy actually kick as opposed to just the fluttering feeling? Think I got 3 kicks yesterday but not sure its too early? Something you can't pass off as wind though right?

See how the next few days go with the movement & maybe see your midwife, just listening to the heartbeat I'm sure will put your mind at rest x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Forgot to answer your question about team yellow! Yep still not finding out sex. DH did say to me the other night though 'its very tempting to find out the sex' I told him firmly no! We made our decision & are sticking with it! x
