TTC74 - Did you get advice from your Dr? I feel like I'm pinching a nerve or a muscle in my lower back every time I bend down and it's driving me crazy.

My Dr told me that she wasn't worried as long as there was no uterine cramping or bleeding. I have an appt for an ultrasound on Monday. So, she said to just keep my appt and we would talk Monday.

Congrats ladies on the awesome scans.
Wantsali\tle1, glad to hear the bean is ok.
Back spasms do not sound fun! Can you use heat pads? Perhaps u overexerted yourself?
I am anxiously waiting my blood test results from the 35+ testing....which will hopefully tell me I hv a healthy bean and...the gender. I hv a beautiful healthy boy and hope for a healthy baby first and foremost, but also wish for a girl. This is likely to be the last one for me and my hubby so would be good to have the pair. Will hopefully get the results today or early next week....

ehj beautiful baby bean, so precious!
not_so_easy can't wait for an update on the test results. FXed for a healthy bean, and so exciting that you're about to find out the gender! Hopefully you don't have to wait until next week and the results come back today
I get my blood drawn for chromosomal testing on Dec 18 and even though we were planning team yellow, I am most likely going to find out the gender when the results come back. After the scary bleed on Tuesday, it's become very important to me to connect to this baby in every way possible while I still can (who knows what tomorrow will bring), and I want to know everything possible about him/her!

Thanks wantsalittle1. So funny...I felt the same way with my first. Even though I had a big belly and felt him moving early, I didn't connect with the baby until I found out the gender. I can't tell u why, but that really worked for me.
Good n luck with the testing, keep us posted.

Depending on your risk factors (such as advanced maternal age), they sometimes do chromosomal testing between 10 and 12 weeks that tells you the baby's gender (in addition to whether or not there are chromosomal abnormalities).

At our clinic, they give everyone the option of doing the NT scan -or- chromosomal testing, which I've never experienced at any other clinic. Usually the NT scan is the default, and they only offer the chromosomal test for advanced maternal age or abnormal NT scan results. I was pretty surprised when they offered the blood test right away
Loving all the scan piccys!

hey ladies! i've been keeping up with reading, but haven't commented since i first introduced myself. thought i should probably start getting my feet wet. loving all the scan pics and feeling so jealous that my doc doesn't seem to have an US on the radar for quite sometime. i go in monday for a "informational" appt & then January 5th for my first "real" appt. hoping we'll at least hear the heart beat at that one.
had a rough go during week 5 to 6, sick and so tired. but the past week now has been very minimal. i'm actually feeling quite anxious about the fact that i don't really have much in terms of symptoms at this point... other than a little bit of nausea if i wait to long to eat. =/ kind of worried, especially since i don't have a scan or anything on the horizon to settle my nerves.

jGo, could you call your doctor and let them know you were having some symptoms and the symptoms have gone, and that you'd like some reassurance? Sometimes they are receptive to that--my OB with DS was very supportive when I told him of my concerns, and happily did an early scan to reassure me that things were progressing well
PS. If they say no to the scan, you could get a Doppler and about a week and a half from now, there's a chance you could hear the heartbeat on your own at home. I got DD and DS both on the Doppler for the first time at 8.5 weeks x

JGo - I won't tell you not to worry bc I know that's much easier said than done but I will tell you that pretty much all of my pregnancies have been mostly symptom free. I have 2 grown children and have seen my current LO's heartbeat on a scan. So, Fx this pregnancy is a healthy one, too!

wants - that's a good idea. i don't know why, but i always feel so silly calling the doc for anything... but i'm gonna mention it to them at the "info" appt monday and hope they'll be willing to do something then or schedule something between that and the appt on the 5th. i could call, but i suppose since i'll be physically at the doctor anyway in a 3 days, i might as well just wait for that (my doc office probably wouldn't get back to me before then anyway). i thought about getting a doppler, but i worry that if i can't find the heartbeat myself (which i know is common early on) that i'll just freak myself out more.
TTC74 - thanks =) i was nauseous 24/7 with my son for most of the first tri so i guess that's where a lot of the concern is coming from... as when it kicked in last week i was thinking "yup, saw that coming!" and then it stopped... which is unexpected. maybe i'm just a lucky one who feels pretty good in the first tri this time. it's hard not to worry tho, that's for sure.
