January 2020 Garnets!!!

[goingforit]

Back from OB!! We saw baby and heartbeat!!!! It was an abdominal scan but still pretty good. He said bee is hiding in the back of my uterus. Haha.

Measuring 7wks (I'm 7wks2dys) and HB is 160.

Awww I didn't see yours before I posted. So pleased for you Something so magical.

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

Thanks. Im happy! Im not out of the woods but I feel a lot better. Baby is measuring on track (my loss wasnt), baby has a good heartbeat (my loss wasnt) so I feel relaxed in that way.

I go back for another scan in 2 weeks. I'll be 9wks3dys.

OnErth, Goingforit - Aww, so happy for you guys!! Those are such beautiful scan pics.

Serenyx - welcome! Also, I kinda can't believe how many late January due dates we have in this group.

Yellowmoon - at 11 weeks, are you able to hear a heartbeat through a Doppler? Maybe it'd be worth ordering one for yourself, to help bide the time between now and your scan?

AFM - I have a scan today too, and can't wait! It's at 2:30 CST, which means I have 90 more minutes of work (aka an eternity) before I can finally go see this little bean! Hubby and I have been TTC for over a year now, so needless to say we are pretty stinkin' excited to finally be here. I'll post up a pic too as soon as I have one!

Lovely to see these early scan pictures with lovely healthy babys!! It's my last scan before 12 weeks tomorrow. I'm feeling really anxious even though we saw the hb last week. I think it's because it's the 10 year anniversary of my mmc on Tuesday so I think it's playing on my mind. I keep thinking well all was OK last week, but then the thought of last time comes back to haunt me. X

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

I have a doppler, I've already been trying to hear bee. No luck of course yet

 

[Serenyx]

Lovely scans ladies! Glad all is going well

I'm not sure if I will have an early scan or not. I was eligible for one last time due to previous losses but not sure if they will do one this time.

OnErth & Goingforit - congrats on the good scans!

Seems like lots of people are having happy news these days.

But for those who are still waiting, i’m Right here with you!

Yellow moon - sorry you’re having to wait so so long for your first scan! That’s amazing that you’re 10 weeks already!

Serenyx - I hope you can get an early scan. If you don’t, will you get the 12 week scan?

Becca - good luck at your scan today! I know how torturous it can be to stay at work until this appointment!

 

[Serenyx]

Serenyx - I hope you can get an early scan. If you don’t, will you get the 12 week scan?

Oh yes definitely - as I am considered high risk I tend to have a lot more scans than most - I had 13 with my eldest (IVF) and 10 with my youngest (however most of those are from week 20 onwards).

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

Next scan might be my last, I contacted a new OB and they dont do any scans!

 

[Literati_Love]

OnErth - wouldn’t you still get an anatomy scan around 20 weeks?

 

[beccabear86]

Well here it is! We saw a beautiful HB today, around 130BPM, and Baby was measuring 6w6d. Which is 6 days behind LMP dating. I’m super relieved to see that little HB, but a little off set by the discrepancy in dates. Especially considering I’ll likely have a CS this time, I want to make extra sure the date is correct. So they’re going to have me back next week to re-check, and we’ll see what happens! But for now, hooray for a healthy baby!

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

Yay for baby!!

Love, no, not even a 20wk scan. They are older ob and old in their ways apparently? I can pay for a scan but it would be $300+ mattering where I went.

 

[co_fostermom]

OnErth, Goingforit, and Becca - such beautiful pictures and happy news!

OnErth - unless you’re totally in love with the new doctor, I’d personally find a new one. But I’m also a bit more high risk so I have to have the scans. Not sure why they are against technology?

I’m 8+2 today and if I weren’t overweight I swear I’d be sporting a baby bump already. It’s crazy. I give it another week and the bit of fat I’m carrying in my lower abs is gonna get pushed aside and I’m legit gonna have a bump. Is it normal to have a bump at 8 weeks?

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Congratulations on your scans OnErth, Goingforit and BeccaBear!!

I'm late to the party but I had mine this afternoon as well. Baby is measuring at 7 weeks 6 days (so 4 days ahead) and the heartbeat was 149 BPM.

They are changing my due date to January 23 which is funny because I'm completely sure of my dates.

 

[co_fostermom]

Fit_Mama do you want me to change your due date on the first page?

 

[co_fostermom]

Oh and lovely scan!

 

[Literati_Love]

Co foster - technically, it’s definitely possible to be showing at 8 weeks because your uterus is already the size of an orange! So could definitely be pushing things out a little bit.

Becca - congrats on the good scan, but sorry you’re a little troubled about the date discrepancy. That’s great they’ll do a scan next week to double check the dates are right. The first trimester scans are pretty accurate for dates, so I’m sure they’ll get your c-section date just right!

Fit mama - interesting that they’re adjusting your due date! Oh well! It doesn’t really make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. Beautiful scan! Glad everything looked great!

Afm - I haven’t been too nauseated lately, but I have SO many food aversions and can’t really stand eating anything except restaurant food. I’ve managed to have self control so far, but I know I’m going to be spending more $$ on fast food and such in the coming weeks. :/
I did some shopping today and bought a few cute tops and dresses that should easily accommodate a tiny baby bump for the rest of the summer. I spent way too much money, but I’m seriously so excited about everything I bought!

 

[co_fostermom]

Literati - yay for clothes!!! I seriously need to do some summer clothes shopping myself.

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

They are a very natural practice and I guess dont see the need for extras? I dont know. Ive never seen them. They would be my 2nd opinion

 

[Sophie1234]

Yay for baby!!

Love, no, not even a 20wk scan. They are older ob and old in their ways apparently? I can pay for a scan but it would be $300+ mattering where I went.

Wow 300 dollars for a scan, that's rediculous. Makes me very very lucky we have the NHS here in England. Just out of curiosity, how does maternity work in the US. Do you have to pay for literally all your appointments and medication etc? Xx
