Sparky- those digital tests are evil....they can be quite misleading. I put mine away after I saw the 3+ and I couldnt do it again, too stressful. It does say you have to do them with FMU. I think if you are feeling good and have no distress signs all is probably great- if you want to put your mind at ease maybe a blood HCG? although my doctors did not believe in those even and just said to me wait for the first u/s as that is much more reliable

Thanks Britt, i think i'm gonna go with that notion otherwise i will drive myself nuts. I have my scan in 2 weeks so will just wait for that also i had my bloods done last week and the doctor was really happy with the results so unless i have cause for concern i should really relax xxx

oh thats right you had bloods done not too long ago, oh well yeah then dont worry at all- put those evil digis away...I dont trust them. I am sure everything is perfectly fine, just try to keep busy before your scan.

I also have permanent bloat! It's hard at the bottom, so I wonder if it is more than bloat and the start of an early bump?

I'm growing out of my jeans quickly and some of my sweatpants don't fit anymore.

Still having crampiness in the mornings (possibly because when I'm asleep I may be leaning against it) and minor achiness throughout the day. Lots of CM...it keeps freaking me out! I know it's normal, but I get so scared when there's a lot of it - I'm always checking to make sure it's not blood.

I'm back from my scan!!!

I was a nervous wreck before going in, I thought I was gonna throw up at one stage.

I explained my history to the sonographer, she was very kind about it all.
I expected the worst, but we saw the sac with the baby & HB before she even moved the probe around. It was so clear & easy to see. Once the sonographer saw that things looked normal, she couldn't stop smiling! (nor could we!) She was so chuffed for us, she even gave us a pic!

Baby is obviously really small at this stage, but it's tiny heart was beating away furiously, nothing like last time where is was a bit on the weak side. I'm measuring 1-2 days behind my EDD, but my consultant said it's kinda hard to get things exactly right at this stage (as it's so tiny) & my next scan at 8 weeks will give me a better idea of the exact EDD, as they can measure the CRL properly. She has told me she's so confident everything is normal this time that I should book in with my midwife now!

OMG! Can't believe it!

Here's the pic!

[MrsWez]

dan-o: that's awesome, congrats!

I am feeling tired and hungry today. Tomorrow is my scan. I can't wait.

Answer to age question. I'm 26, DH is 32. I'll be 27 and DH will be when LO is born. Together for 5 years, married for 3 years.

 

[MommyWishes4]

That's an interesting question, how old is everyone? I'm 30, 31 in a few weeks time.

I'm 22, DH is 26. I'll be turning 23 within days that LO is due. Dh and I have currently been married for 8 1/2 months.

Should I be worried that it took the sonographer a while to find my baba on the scan? He had to do an internal scan before we could the see the baby and heartbeat - is this a bad sign?

 

[Sherri81]

Congrats on the scan!

Sparky, isn't there a way you can get beta HCG tests done today? If your Dr puts a rush on the test, they will have the results back in a couple of hours. It might put your mind at ease. I can't tell you not to worry, but you didn't use FMU which could have led to the bad digi test result.

Just waiting on my HCG results now. I don't know if I will do them anymore if they have gone up again today. It gets tiring going in every 2nd day.

Already in maternity pants. I bought the under bump ones that just have that 2 inch elastic waistband. I am just so tired of shoving myself into regular clothes and not getting mat clothes because I was superstitious. This time comfort is weighing out. I mean, I am already bloating out because I don't think my uterus completely shrank last time. So the waistband on my other jeans are all just rolling over and they are so uncomfortable.... I feel like crap though, because I held out with Devon until 17 weeks. But then again, it was summer, and I had really roomy capris and I could just use those Bella Band things to hold them up, and then cover it all with a long tank. This time, no go. My jeans don't have any strech to them, so they are gone!

Feel like a tard in Mat jeans already At least my winter coat covers the top portion of them.

Nooo not at all, they usually have to do an internal scan when it's this early on xx
