Beautiful scan pic!!! That's Awesome!

Hopefully in a week or so my Doppler will pick up the heartbeat and I can relax a little!!

Aww lovely pic of your little beany med!!

 

[MissYogi]

I have a jelly bean!!! It's little heart is beating at 173 BPM and I'm measuring a few days behind at 8+6 now, which is sort of what we expected but since I didn't track ovulation we had been going off LMP.

 

[StillPraying]

Missyogi yay so glad it went well! Did they leave your due date or are they adjusting it? With my Dr they only adjust it if it's a week or more but idk if that's most Drs or not

Congrats on the lovely scans ladies!! What beautiful little beans you a both have! So exciting!

I hope the weekend flies for you Pink, and I'm sure everything will be wonderful with Baby though I know it's impossible not to worry when you've had losses. I had a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach before my last 7 week scan and I even told DH that once the tech told us there was no heartbeat he was taking me out and getting me very drunk... But then there was DS, just as happy as a clam, measuring just right with his heart beating away. I'm sure you'll have an awesome scan.

In terms of cravings when they do hit it's been out of nowhere. For example yesterday I was sitting at my desk at work eating a salad when I suddenly felt like if I didn't have something sweet immediately I was going to DIE. I was just beside myself. Then the most amazing thing happened: my coworker friend came back from lunch with a miniature waffle filled with custard for me. I nearly cried tears of joy. SO delicious. Crisis averted!

Mediterranean I'm going to be doing the $550 test when I'm (hopefully!) further along. I'm turning 37 in May so I'd like the extra reassurance!

MissYogi congrats on a great scan!!!!! I hope it offers you more reassurance after knowing there's a strong heartbeat

Pink, I'm hoping the time goes quickly for you this weekend for your appt and so you can start to hear baby's heartbeat. I never even thought of getting a Doppler when I was pregnant for the first time. There was never any question in my mind that it would work out but after two losses I'm all about the reassurance! I keep looking forward to the next scan and then the next to keep me sane but now that I can find the heartbeat myself, it's SUCH a instant relief

We only have 1-1.5 weeks until we are at the 12 week mark and our OB today told us that we should be confident to tell people now but I'd like to wait until after our nuchal scan which is longer but I'd feel better.

Fit Mama, if you do the Panorama testing (I think that's the name of the test you pay for) you only have 4 more weeks! I simply think it's amazing that you can find out the gender so early on these days! Part of me wants to but part of me likes the idea of forming my own speculations and having it a surprise for a little while longer. The option is there if we decide to go ahead and do it.

 

[pinkpassion]

Thank you ladies!! Yesterday flew by so I'm hoping today and tomorrow do as well!!

I loved my Doppler in my two girls pregnancies. It brought me so much reassurance! I received it at 10+4 with dd1 and found it immediately and with Dd2 I tried it at 8+6 and found it right away so I'm hoping sometime next week will work for me!!

 

[Ashaford]

Mediteranean and Miss Yogi - your pictures are fabulous! I love seeing all these healthy little ones.

I bought a doppler yesterday but it wont arrive until Monday. Hubs wasn't able to make my last appointment when I heard the heartbeat so we figured we'd get one so he could hear too. Ready for the reassurance. I have my next appointment on April 4th. It seems like lightyears away.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Can't wait to hear all about your appt on Monday, Pink!

 

[MissYogi]

You ladies really make me consider buying a doppler. I waver back and forth but the reassurance would be nice.

Still- I think my due date is changed officially, although I was only at the ultrasound place talking to the technician so I havent talked to my midwife yet. I see the midwife next on April 12th so I'm sure she'll update more then.

And I think I'm ready to have my due date put on the front page! I'll go with October 28th now.

 

[StillPraying]

MissYogi i just had to have a Doppler this time. Before I was okay when I needed to make it past 8 weeks, now I need to make it past 15 weeks and the anxiety was too much. I didn't get mine until 9 and something though. I added your due date

Ashaford hope you can find the hb quickly when it comes Monday! Which kind did you order? Time between appointments is soooo slow. My next one isn't until April 18th!

Mediteranian when is your NT scan?

Fitmama which of the tests will you be doing? I know there's several of them, MaterniT21, Harmony, Panorama, etc. I think they all do the same thing tho that's how my cravings are too! Lol like I'm gonna cry if I can't have it.

 

[pinkpassion]

Oh I'm not on the front page.. can you please add me? I'm November 6th.. or if you want to wait until after my scan Monday I'm fine with that!

 

[StillPraying]

Pink I'll add you! I wait till someone asks to be added as some ladies prefer to wait until they reach a certain point until being added

 

[pinkpassion]

Ah I see!! Well I don't believe in jinxing but if you want to wait until my scan Monday I'm ok with that

 

[sunshine2014]

I totally believe in Jinxing!! So I'm waiting lol.

Hey ladies,

I'm still sick - although yesterday I had a good day, so hoping that is a good sign.

I'm 10 weeks today. Not sure about due date, they told me later when I went for my first ultrasound, but I'm having a c section so it will be about when I thought anyways. Also with my DD I got moved up a week because she kept getting bigger every u/s. WE'll see!

Stillpraying - how's your nausea?

 

[StillPraying]

Pink I added you yeah for some they feel like it might jinx it, or others just don't want to get ahead of themselves because of the losses, It's different for everyone.

Sunshine sorry you're steal dealing with sickness. Mine seems to be easing up, I'm not sick every day now anyway lol so your date is just October for now then? I'll add it whenever you're ready

 

[ttc126]

Hi everyone! I'm a bit late finding this thread but it seems like it will be a good place for me!
I have 2 living sons then had multiple miscarriages. We saw a couple of specialists and a genetic counselor but all unexplained. I'm on aspirin and progesterone as a precaution and currently waiting on some clotting tests to get back to see if i need heparin. This is the farthest I've made it without issue in a long time. My due date is Nov 7th but will most likely be an October baby...Lord willing i make it that far. Can I be added to the group?

 

[StillPraying]

Welcome ttc would you like your due date on the front page? Fx your tests come back good and you don't need the heparin. A couple of us on here are also on baby aspirin

 

[ttc126]

Thank you! Yes I think go ahead and add me. I have had 3 good ultrasounds and so I'm slightly more hopeful ❤ StillPraying I think you helped talk me off the ledge last week when I freaked out over fluctuating symptoms....

 

[StillPraying]

I added you glad to help, we've all been there, or are still there. Even though I know symptoms come and go, and even though I know they typically ease up between 12-14 weeks I still panic too. Like "I didn't have a headache today, something is wrong!" It's hard but we have to try and remember it's really out of our control

 

[pinkpassion]

Scan is less than 5 hours away!!!
