January Jelly Beans 2014!

[goldstns]

Des- Thanks! I was tested for thyroid problems and mine all came back healthy. My blood pressure is great too. I drink about 10 glasses of water a day, which I think is fine. I did take a break with my wrists yesterday and last night was much better for me. I woke up a few times from the numb feeling but after repositioning my hands it went away, right away. I have a diabetics test on Tuesday. Hopefully that is all good too. I agree with taking it easy, I am known to over work myself. I didn't realize it until the pregnancy. Tonight im going swimming and that usually makes my feet feel good.

We are team

Saw the little guy opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue A LOT!! He is also very active. The lady doing the scan had a hard time doing the measurements because every time she was about to freeze the frame he would move lol.

I'm glad you finally got your surgery date, live!! I hope your surgery goes smoothly and you get your bfp shortly after!

desptcc, I'd have to guess boy just due to the odds being so much more in that favor. There are WAY more blue beans in this group than pink. It's so odd, I would think it woud be more even!

 

[despttc]

I was lying on my side,playing with my mobile phone and I felt my baby kick. Some jabs at my tummy. Is that what I think it is?? Oh! I'm on cloud9

 

[hakunamatata]

Question: is the 20 week ultrasound the last U/S for the pregnancy?

 

[despttc]

I was advised one more at 28weeks,but I don't think its compulsory

 

[vtjess423]

goldstns, I think it really depends on your doctor/midwife. With my son, my doctor told me that she likes to have a growth scan done at around 28 weeks just to make sure the baby is growing as it should. I'm assuming that she'll do the same for me with this pregnancy as well but I never asked. At that scan my son's abdomen was measuring small so we had some growth concerns there at that point and I was referred to a fetal and maternal specialist. Everything turned out to be fine (he was just small) but I got some extra scans out of it! But I think for a lot of women, the 20 week scan is the last one (unless there are concerns) but like I said, I think it really depends on the doctor/midwife.

Question: is the 20 week ultrasound the last U/S for the pregnancy?

It really depends, I know in my area they only do the first scan, 12 week scan and then the 20 week scan unless they are concerned about something.

Question: is the 20 week ultrasound the last U/S for the pregnancy?

In the UK they only normally do 2 scans 12 and 20 wks unless there is something they want to keep an eye on. I will be having 4 extra scans due to the high risk of downs syndrome so I will be having growth scans at 24, 28, 30 and 32 weeks

 

[despttc]

The more scans I get,the more I love it So I'm taking my 28week scan for sure

 

[mommytobe11]

I only get a dating scan, 12 week and mid pregnancy ultrasound (which was at 18 weeks) with my son, they wanted to check his kidneys again so I had another one at 28 weeks. I think I'm done with ultrasounds now unfortunately.

 

[vtjess423]

See my doctor doesn't even do a 12 week scan; so maybe instead she prefers to have a later scan to ensure that the baby is growing properly (28-30ish weeks). So far with this pregnancy I've only had one scan and it was at 8 weeks. My 20 week scan is a week from Friday and I'm SOOO looking foward to it. So I'm hoping I get the additional scan later, as she did wit my son, just so I can see my bean again after next week.

 

[hakunamatata]

I had weekly ultrasounds for the last month and a half of my first pregnancy because my amniotic fluid was low. Fluid ended up steadily increasing so all was well. Loved getting extra pictures!
