This is my scan from Thursday they measured me at 7+5 it was really clear!

Can anyone do Ramzi on this picture?

great scan pic boo!


I thought nausea was supposed to ease in subsequent pregnancies but the nausea this time is much worse then it was with lo.

Great scan pic boo, not sure how to do Ramzi but baby looks pretty much in the middle? X

 

[GeralynB]

Luckily this time around I haven't been too nauseous. Just a little bit but not like last time

 

[joo]

I'm thinking my nausea is worse this time around too vaniilla. It's been awful this week, can't get up off the sofa all morning. My poor DD is so bored and starting to act up a bit. I almost cried in asda today because they didn't have the ginger beer I NEEDED to feel better.

Great pic Boo

Wow Boo what a clear picture! Sorry I don't have a clue about ramzii, I know sometimes they're flipped anyway.

 

[Boo44]

I have no idea how to do it either lol but yes it's bang in the middle and so I don't think it would work anyway

Aw joo I really feel for you - I had an awful day yesterday I couldn't get off the sofa I felt so ill and so out of it Much better day today. I've discovered how much salt and vinegar Pringles help my nausea which isn't great for the waistline!

 

[mommyxofxone]

What is ramzii? Andi think the nausea depends on the baby. My sil is on her third and her nausea was the worst this time. She was so sick. Also was her first boy.

Hey ladies, hope you're all doing ok.

I had my reassurance scan today, which has done the exact opposite. My dates put me at 7+5, the sonographer sounded very positive and said everything looked fine, gestational sac, yolk sac, baby and heartbeat. But she measured me at 5-6 weeks. I told her this couldn't be right, so she took the measurements again a few times but furthest she got was 6+1, which would put me at 11 days behind. I wouldn't be so bothered about this if I wasn't positive on my dates due to charting and tracking ovulation, she is saying the earliest I could've ovulated is October 9th when I got my BFP October 7th, and I haven't had sex since the end of September once I'd confirmed ovulation, so it's impossible for it to have been later. I could understand a few days out for late implantation etc, but not nearly two weeks, and I know I didn't implant late as I got my BFP at 8dpo.

I left feeling so upset and I'm so worried now, I can't seem to find many positive stories with similar experiences, just people who've gone on to miscarry. I can't bear the thought of having to wait weeks to my NHS scan to find out I've miscarried, but can't afford any more private ones, it cost me £100 today which feels like a complete waste of money now.

The sickness is killing me. I can't keep anything down. Dr has prescribed ciclyzine but said only to take if I really. What is that supposed to mean (as I type this I think i. Au have already told you guys this, if so, ignore me lol).

They said to take one before work to get me through work, which it almost does, then I just spend my evening vomiting. Brushing my teeth is quite interesting, toothbrush in, vomit out, just have to keep at it until there's nothing left to throw up!

You can take 50g Cyclizine 3 times a day hun, have a look at pregnancy sickness support's website for more advice. I was taking it but sadly it stopped working for me. Looks like I'm off work for another week.

I have a bit of appetite back although baby has no logic as I can happily scoff crisps and McDonald's chips, but decent home cooked meals make me gag. Oh well hopefully the multivitamins will compensate lol

 

[Becyboo__x]

I'm same I seem to be ok eating crisps and chips .. anything else I can't seem to face I'm not a big veg person anyway but I loved my roast dinners and now I can't even bare to cook one letalone eat one .. with my son I craved gravy on everything but saying that I think I eat anything with him never had any food issues.. chicken was a big one nearer the end kfc mainly ..

I'm feeling ok ish today still a bit sick but not threw up thankfully yet .. I was really bad the other day literally throwing up everything from food to any liquids
Hoping I get a letter through tomorrow so I can finally get an appointment with midwife if they make me see doctor again I will flip as I need a scan date booked and I need to have my bloods tested anyway with being prone to being anemic, make it worse I blacked out yesterday and fainted luckily beside OH and in our house I'm fine just feelt really strange had it before and its all down to my blood sugars and iron levels but I can't get in at doctors until they put me on their system even explaining to them I'm over 10 weeks now

Hey ladies I'm looking for some thoughts. I'm thinking about cancelling the NT (12w) scan that I have in two weeks. I've been reading some concerning things about ultrasounds, and we are only getting the NT scan as a chance to see baby again. We already had two scans (5w (ectopic check) & 7w (dating scan)), and we will be getting the 20 week (anatomy) scan. Is anyone not getting the NT scan or have opted out of it in prior pregnancies?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Bubbles I'm so sorry your scan wasn't as reassuring as you'd hoped I'm sure scans at this stage can be a week out either way. If that was the case and they measured you at 6+1 baby could have really been measuring 7+1 and there's always a few days for late implantation. It's so so hard but if the sonographer said everything looked healthy all you can do is take them at their word. Could to speak to your gp or midwife and explain your concerns? Maybe they'll refer you for an early scan?

 

[vaniilla]

I'm really sorry for the ladies suffering badly with sickness, don't let the doctor guilt you into not taking medication, as long as it's within the dose limit you should take it regularly

Thank you for your comments I really appreciate it. I just can't get my head round it, I know I didn't implant late as I got my BFP early at 8dpo, so really struggling to find explanations for there being such a big difference in their measurements. I don't even have my booking appointment for another 2 weeks so haven't seen a midwife yet, and it's almost impossible to get an appointment with my GP lately, but I think I will try and phone them next week.

 

[Starlight32]

Prayers to you and your baby, bubbles!

Bubbles, I've read quite a few stories in first tri where the dates don't match up so mamas worry but everything had turned out ok. I have everything crossed for you.

Thankfully, although I'm still nauseated I still haven't vomited again yet.

I had some really sad new this week. My sister had been adopting two brothers for over a year now (adoption order hasn't gone through yet) and sadly the older one hasn't bonded well at all so will be going back in to the system the youngest's fate has yet to be decided. It honestly feels as though I'm grieving and I have no idea how to explain it to my 3 year old.

On a brighter note I have my scan date - November 27th.

 

[mommyxofxone]

Oh Dory how sad! How is your sister managing????


Scan is tomorrow at 220! First Dr appt
