gender scan in 7 days!

 

[mzswizz]

magic-do you have a gender in mind?

 

[magicwhisper]

i think girl, matt thinks boy but neither of us actually mind

 

[mzswizz]

that's great

 

[ricschick]

oh exciting!!!! I love scans don't like the full bladder bit tho nearly wet myself last time lol xx

 

[mzswizz]

I dont have to do the full bladder scan thank goodness.

AFM, im on cd4 today and i just realized that for the first time in like 13 years that I had a 28 day cycle and a 14 LP So that cycle was pretty good. Nothing new to report here. Still bleeding and DH will be back home Saturday. I got to go in tomorrow to go pick up my Clomid prescription to start taking it on cd5 which is tomorrow. Im very tired so im just going to do school work and relax.

Aww patrice sorry about af I was really hoping for you this cycle.. well I havent had time to update you ladies in ages but i guess I should.
Everything went well at my 12 week scan, the only thing is that altho from my last period is 12 weeks 3 days, the scan put me almost a week ahead at 13 weeks 1 day. This makes no sense at all to me as that would mean we conceived before af, and Im sure sure sure I know the date we conceived I did ask can it just be a big baby but mw said she cant be a week big there's too much difference!

ashley why do u have to have diabetes test? we only have that here if we're overweight which you're certainly not!

 

[AC1987]

Another weird state law here, I guess so no one accuses them of being unfair to plus size women? I dunno So with every pregnancy you hafta take it.
Apparently they're now also planning to make it where you hafta receive the tdap vaccination with EVERY pregnancy.. I must say that I am a little wary of that. I mean I already do take my booster shots and everything so its not like I'm not covered, so it just seem excessive to me, and I am worried to what it will do to the unborn baby, I don't feel good about being used as a guinea pig. so I think my next appt I will try to get more information on why...

 

[josephine3]

whats dtap? we are offered a flu jab but im not sure...

 

[magicwhisper]

thats strange josephine about your dates


it is mandatory for you to have a glucose test in the uk as well it dosent matter about your weight

 

[AC1987]

That's the tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis shot...
I had always heard that as long as you're vaccinated then you just need boosters every 5 or 10 years.

 

[ricschick]

that is strange about your dates Josephine, was it a normal period do you remember?

ive never had the diabetes tests and this is our 5th!xx

 

[mzswizz]

hmm maybe it wasnt your AF after all Jo. Was it normal?

Ashley-I would question the docs about that because i dont see why you need all these vaccinations while pregnant. In my mind, less is more.

AFM, i have to go pick up my Clomid prescription right now so i can start taking it today.

 

[ricschick]

its is a lot of vacs we get the flu jab and I thing one other im not tho and that's it.

 

[AC1987]

Yeah I plan to, if they try to push it next appt, because it just makes me feel iffy about it..


Jo, perhaps it wasn't AF after all? I dunno what else to say... are you scheduled for another scan?


Patrice yaaayy! I hope this works for you! I had such high hopes for you last time

 

[josephine3]

We just get flu jab which i think i might turn down and whooping cough which is a new one cos whooping cough has made a comeback and killed a lot of young babies. So i will definitely have that one.
Im really confused about the dates thing cos if id concieved the previous cycle then surely id be a whole month ahead of what i thought. My period was normal too from what i remember. And im soooo sure of the day we concieved too, remember me saying that when we dtd it all stayed 'in' lol? And 2 days after i had implantation pain too. The only thing that stands out to me is that i had milky discharge towards the end of the previous cycle too. Not due another scan till the normal 20 week one. Iv had an awful week, terrible sickness and reflux to go along with a cold. Iv hardly kept anything down

 

[hello_kitty]

I never had any vaccinations when I was pregnant with Zachary. Is this a new protocol? I only got the flu shot and the tdap after I delivered.

Omg, I swear the early weeks of pregnancy feels like an eternity. I am supposed to be 6 weeks today based on my lmp, but I have a feeling I might be earlier than that based on my ovulation. I am experiencing the stress all over again wondering if my baby is developing normally, miscarriage, lack of symptoms etc. I dont have any morning sickness except for my nipples being super sore when Zachary tries to breastfeed and the occasional cramping. He still wakes up a few times during the night and since dh and I are both too lazy to fetch a bottle I just do it the easy way by breastfeeding.

My first doctor's appointment is next thursday, hopefully I will survive before then.

 

[ricschick]

hope you feel better jose!! il def get the whooping cough one not sure on the flu jab.

HK im sure everything is fine I felt like that too no symptoms but 6weeks 3 day boom felt like crap!! so make the most of it lol xxx
