EDD:01/03/2013-Anybody else?

[jrowenj]

Yeah but if your baby has grown well they do measure you ahead. It might work differently in the US but when I had my dating scan with my daughter I was measuring 6 days ahead. I knew my dates, and I ovulate later in my cycle rather than earlier but they kept me at that date. She was actually born 4 days later than the date they gave me, two days earlier than the date I had by my LMP so it was somewhere inbetween!

oh, wow! My dr said no matter what the scan says next time she is keeping me at Jan 3rd... which is FINE by me because the other date was the 27th and I don't want my baby born on xmas! hahahaha!

Ha ha my new due date based on my scan is new years eve! Babies come in their own sweet time from 2 weeks before your due date (hopefully not before!) to two weeks after as we all know so really I'm just saying my baby will be due some time late December/early January and leave it up to him/her! I ended up giving birth to my daughter on Friday 13th, the one date I was hoping I wouldn't. By the time I went into labour with her I didn't care anymore. It's my lucky day now.
I know what you mean about the Christmas thing though. Any other day but not Christmas day. What a crap day to have a birthday.
You watch, I've just jinxed myself again, it'll be a Christmas cracker...

I just hope beyond all hope this baby isn't born on the day we lost Tess. I think that day will be too emotional for me. Because I had a csection with the boys, I'll have a scheduled one this time, which will prob be scheduled for a week before my due date, but like Mrs M said, they come when they wanna!

Just had some stretchy cm.... normal??

 

[duckytwins]

I've had bright yellow cm for a long time now... I don't know too much about it, though...

 

[jrowenj]

Im bleeding

calling my Dr... im so upset....

 

[Greens25]

Thinking of you Jaime.......

I went to my midwife yesterday and she said spotting between 8-10 weeks is very common (especially after sex).

Keep us posted!

 

[duckytwins]

Jaime, is it red blood?

 

[jrowenj]

Bright red with mucus just like period and had a tiny clot

 

[duckytwins]

You mentioned on the January board that you had a pap yesterday? It's probably from that. I had one when I was pg with Tess and bled AND cramped. I hope it's all okay.

 

[jrowenj]

omg thanks for the pep talk ladies!!!!!!!!!!!

went to my dr's and had an u/s... everything is OK!!!!!!! THank you, LORD!!!!!!! Heard the heartbeat 175bpm and baby is measuring 9 weeks 6days!

When they showed me baby on the screen I shouted THANK GOD, HOLY SHIT!!!! And the tech laughed hahaha!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I'm so sorry I've only just caught up with the thread, I'm so pleased, so MASSIVELY pleased its all ok! Thank god!!

 

[jrowenj]

Thank you sooooo much Claire. I was sooooooo nervous! There were clots and EVERYTHING! The ONLY thing giving me hope was I had no cramps!

The tech was AWESOME! She checked my ovaries and all around to make sure no clots or fluid surrounding the baby!

So, the bonus is I got to see my baby tonight and don't have to wait 4 more weeks!

 

[duckytwins]

Good news Jaime!

 

[jrowenj]

Thanks ladies... i seriously would have been freaking out even MORE if i didn't have you all to support!

 

[duckytwins]

I feel like I got hit by a truck today. I had a salad for lunch, which is one of the things I've been craving, then it all went down hill from there. I got this wicked stomach ache and felt soooo tired. I came home from work to lay down, then got up to get the boys off the bus and still didn't feel well. I just made some vegetable soup and I still feel like I got hit with a ton of bricks.

 

[duckytwins]

One of the apps I have that guide you through pregnancy said something about feeling contractions as the uterus grows. I wonder if that's part of what I'm feeling. I felt, what I can only describe as an electric current, go up my belly, down behind it and to my cervix. Does that sound like a contraction? Or something I should worry about?

 

[korink26]

Omg Jaime I'm glad I first saw this now or I would have been freaking for you!!! So glad everything is fine, and I bet it is from the PAP you had, which is why I think they don't really do them when you're PG!! Did you guys have sex or anything? I've been kind of trying to prepare myself for any spotting because I seem to always see on here around this time people start spotting. Because of my fear of seeing blood poor DH hasn't gotten any action since getting my BFP.
That's crazy you're a week ahead, even at your 12 week scan she won't change your EDD? I think at my 10 week one whatever I'm measuring at she'll put my EDD as, unless it's so close to my original one maybe it'll just stay the same.
Claire---I think you should keep your EDD as 1/3/13---then you'll get to stick with your lucky 13's!!!
I've posted this in other threads and it seems to be common, but its still worrying me. Is anybody else getting shortness of breath? And it's not when I'm moving around, it's just sitting here I have to take big breaths to try and catch my breath.

 

[korink26]

Sorry you're feeling shitty Jes, I have no clue what a contraction feels like so I'm of no help to you. But my guess is it's just everything expanding.
Oh and Jaime (I'm so fricken happy everything is ok, gosh) did you get a pic at all today? I'm guessing they just probably did a quick one but I'd love to see your lil bean at almost 10 weeks. Was he/she moving around or is it too early for that?

 

[ssjad]

Jaime - how scary!! Thank God everything is okay!!

Korink, I'm short of breath a lot! It's really uncomfortable at times. It's due to both the progesterone, and the increased blood volume. Completely normal.

Ducky - I'm sorry you're feeling so crap. I started getting contractions in first trimester with every pregnancy after the first - led to very quick labours in the end!!

I've been here every day reading, but not writing... still feeling the same. Pretty crap most days. Sleeping in my car at lunch time every day. Some days vomiting, some not. Today I feel ok, and kind of wish I felt worse in some ways - it really does ease the mind! However I think that I actually do feel pretty yuck - just that I'm not as yuck as other days. Still exhausted. Can't wait for my next ultrasound in 5 days (but I'll forgo the scary bleeding to get one faster!)
