Beautiful pics whisper!

Welcome Michelle & Sweetness!

I had my first OB appt and now my head is spinning! I got so much to read about all these test that I should take from NT is by choice so I don't have to. They told me due to my age, twins and overweight I need to be monitor even closer. I'll start seeing a specialist in high risk pregnancies and if all my blood works comes back ok then I can return to my regular OB. I didn't get a scan but I will in two weeks. I'll be 10 weeks by then. I also got my first pregnancy book compliment of my OB.

Welcome to the group Michelle & Sweetness!!!!!

 

[Whisper82]

Thanks to everyone for your support!!! So grateful to have all of you there rooting us along!!!

Welcome Michelle!!

Happy - I think you'll enjoy waiting till 10 weeks to do your u/s. They actually look like babies now!!!

Want - Counting the days till you get to finish the suppositories! I just finished mine and I have been feeling SO much better.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Whisper I love te pics!!

Hey I posted this in the other forum but wanted to post it here----

So the ultrasound tech made me super nervous trying to shake what se said. She said " well come back jan 3 cause sometimes the heart just stops for no reason" who says that?! I know The Lord wouldn't take this away from us but still want to just fast forward to jan 3. I thought free seeing a heartbeat your chances are like less then 5% for something to happen. You ladies want to shed some light please or opinions

 

[wannabeprego]

@Sweet, I am not sure if you saw my response on the other thread so I am reposting it on here again for you.


I did some research on Dr google and found a few different articles about the risk of miscarriage after seeing the heart beat, one website said 10% and some others said as low as 5%, in other words the risk of miscarriage falls greatly after you see the heart beat.

https://www.wisegeek.com/how-common-is-miscarriage-after-seeing-a-heartbeat.htm

Can I just add that the ultrasound person that said that to you was rude and insensitive. The tech didn't need to say it like that to make you scared. She could of just said you need to come in for a follow up appointment to make sure everything is going good.

I personally am refusing to dwell on all of the stuff that can go wrong in my pregnancy. I want to enjoy every minute of it. I know that worrying is not going to change the outcome of the pregnancy regardless. I have no control over any of it. The only thing we can do is take care of ourselves as best as we can. Just put it in gods hands hun. Big hugs to you hun!!

I found this article too...

Question: What Are the Odds of Miscarriage After Seeing a Fetal Heartbeat on an Ultrasound

Answer: Seeing the baby's heartbeat on an ultrasound is a good sign and does put a pregnancy into a lower risk category for miscarriage.

Doctors generally agree that the risk of miscarriage decreases once the pregnancy reaches a point that an ultrasound can detect a heartbeat. The exact amount that it decreases, however, seems to vary by group.

It's hard to say any exact numbers from the available research, but here are some statistics that certain studies have come up with.

For women with no vaginal bleeding, most estimates suggest that the odds of having a miscarriage after seeing a heartbeat are about 4%.

For women with vaginal bleeding but also a detected heartbeat on ultrasound, risk of miscarriage is about 13% according to one study.

One study found that about 17% of women with a history of recurrent miscarriages will miscarry after seeing a heartbeat on the ultrasound.

Mothers over 35 also face significant miscarriage risk after ultrasound detects a heartbeat, even though the risk does drop after detecting the heartbeat. A 1996 study found that women over 36 have a 16% risk of miscarriage at this point, and women over 40 have a 20% risk.

I'm sorry Sweetness about her stupid comment! God is going to protect your babies! She could have said something different. I know if someone told me that I would have gone off on them. We have been through so much and then to have someone make that kind of comment. Don't pay attention to her!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Thanks guys tht makes me feel a lot better!! I will just enjoy my little ones growing. Still any believe she said it like that. And then I did look aroind ad have heard horror stories of that. So praying God will keep everything great

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Hello ladies,

I hope everyone is doing well. I have my next scan on 12/27 and I'm looking forward to it. I wish the weeks would just fly by.

 

[Whisper82]

Happy - It will be here before you know it!!! The 27th is my DH's birthday. lol. Just a couple days after Christmas and you will be seeing your little ones again.

So I went and bought some maternity clothes today! Whoa! Feels like such a huge step. I don't have much of a belly yet, but there is a little bump that is big enough to make my pants uncomfortable. Got some super cute clotes! I also saw tons of cute baby stuff, but it is hard to buy without knowing genders. All in good time I suppose!

 

[wannabeprego]

@Happy, my first scan is on the 27th too!!

@Whisper, Thats so great that you got some nice maternity clothes!! I still need to buy myself some maternity pants since I am wearing my black leggings and work out pants the majority of the time. I can't fit into my jeans at all anymore. LOL.

AFM, My DH has a phone interview on Thursday and I am so happy for him. It wil be a promotion and a raise if he gets the job, so please keepyour fingers crossed and wish him luck!!!

 

[sandoval_star]

Good luck to your dh wanna! Hope he gets the promotion.

Whisper, I'm going shopping today for some new clothes, mine are feeling very uncomfortable already. Might not need maternity yet, just looser to cover my belly lol!

Good luck to all those with scans coming up. My 12 week scan is not until 9th Jan but we wanted to tell some friends at new year (or else it will be pretty obvious I'm not drinking!) so my lovely dh has booked an extra scan for my christmas on 29th Dec! So excited to see little bean again and it will put me at ease for telling people before the 12 week scan.

 

[michelle01]

Wanna - FX'ed for DH; hope he gets it

I have my first scan today; I am SOOOO nervous and SOOO scared!! Will update once I get back

Hope everyone else is doing good.

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Good luck Michelle! Did you transfer two?

Wanna good luck to your DH on his interview. A raise sounds good now that your prego!

Whisper I bought some stuff too over the weekend. Yes there are so many cute things out there but we have to wait until we know the sex.

Sandoval how exciting you get to see your baby again.

So I got a call yesterday for a Nuchal Transluncency. It's a detail ultrasound that test for down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. After that I have to wait three weeks for the results. Is anyone planning on taking these tests? I did all my blood work over the weekend including the 24-hour urine test
