Glad the news was good Dee, and you get another scan! I enjoyed my extra scans, even had one the day I went into labour!

Scan day Katya

 

[Diddums]

All went well!! Baby is measuring exactly 10 weeks and little heart beating away! Saw her move her little hands. Have another scan 2 weeks Friday where I will be 12+2 xxx

Congrats Katya! That's great you get a third scan! What is it for??

I passed my GDM screening! My 1hour was 120 mg/DL. My iron levels were great too, which I was expecting since I started taking an iron supplement a few weeks ago because I was borderline.

 

[Diddums]

I get another scan at 12 weeks so that they can measure the nuchal translucency for Down's syndrome risk, as 10 weeks is too early I have the test done

 

[mrsc81]

Thats great Katya hope you have a nice holiday.

Good news Dee

 

[Diddums]

Thanks ladies

 

[Diddums]

Dee that's fab news! Bet that's a weight of your mind! Xxx

I threw my lunch up in spectacular fashion lol. Marmite on toast and fruit salad is not pretty coming back up! Now I feel all shaky on our way to the airport so will grab a bottle of water once through customs. Hope I'm not sick on the plane.

I might not be around much for the next few days but will update if I can. Hope you ladies have a lovely week and relaxing (as much as you can with babies) weekend xxx

Dee- that's great news you passed the test

It didn't show up but the link worked. So cute, looks a lot like my 9.5 week scan pic

Katya - I'm so glad your scan went well! Have fun on your trip!

Dee - I'm glad things seem to be well with your little guy and you'll get to see him again. I haven't had any scans since 22 weeks but like Rachel said I guess I'll be seeing her soon enough!! Congrats on passing the diabetes test! The three hour was a pain in the butt!

Bethany, raven, NewMrs - I hope you are doing well! I may not comment often but I'm thinking of you!

Nat - I hope everything is going great with you and you are still basking in the glow of your bfp!

Hope our new mommies are doing well!

Rachel - How are you feeling? Feel like you'll make it to your due date or go early?

 

[bnporter81]

Aww, I'm glad your scan went well, Katya. So adorable.I know it's a GREAT feeling to see the heartbeat and know that everything is A-okayDo you have any gut feelings as to what the sex will be?

Dee, congrats on passing your glucose test...Sounds like everything is going along smoothly for you

Caroline and Rachel, can't wait to hear updates soon. Do either of you feel like you'll go early?

 

[bnporter81]

Aww it has been a while Beth. Sorry with the baby brain I can't remember much. Are they going to start investigations soon? Did you have trouble conceiving with your first children? Xx

Sorry, girls, I must have missed this page of postsI'm not sure what will happen next. First, I have to find a new doctor because my current one has pretty much deserted her current patients and they don't have one to replace her ATM. As far as my other children go, it only took a few months with my first child, but I was a lot younger then (20) and my PCOS problems hadn't really popped up then. My second child took a little bit of trying and my third was a total surprise, lol. I had just had my second child 3 months prior and only had 1 AF cycle and that was all it tookSo this time is definitely the most challenging. I'm just so thankful for the children I already have

thank you so much bethany how is this cycle going? i can't see your chart, the computer i'm on is a bit outdated so it just brings crosses up

Thanks for asking, Nat...this cycle is just BLAH. Doesn't seem much different from the others. I get so tired and frustrated with taking different vitamins and supplements, always hoping the new one that I add will be *it*. That it will just make the difference and things will start changing for the better. I'm so frustrated that I'm not even really temping. I usually do an OPK almost every day, but that's about the extent of it.

 

[mrsc81]

Cant believe how close you are Caroline and Rachel
Doesn't time fly!

 

[Rachel789]

It does go crazy fast, I can't believe my baby girl will be here within a couple weeks!

I have no clue if I will go early or not. Nothing out of the ordinary is happening yet. I just dread the thought of going overdue and having to be induced if things don't happen.

 

[mrsc81]

I thought I would go overdue, but was almost on DD at 39+6

 

[cmwilson]

Bethany - I hope you can find another doctor soon! I can't believe it seems like your doc deserted her patients! I'd be so frustrated!

I can't believe my due date is only 18 days away! I think I'm going all the way to my due date and probably passed. I could be wrong of course! I haven't had any labor symptoms. I haven't even had any Braxton hicks contractions yet. We found out at our doctors appointment that she's finally head down mostly so that's a start I guess! I'm okay with not going early though, just trying to enjoy these last two and a half weeks as a twosome with my hubby.

 

[rmsh1]

Caroline I was not aware of any Braxton Hicks either, but I was hooked up to a CTG machine at one point and my midwife said I was in fact having contractions (or quickenings as she called them), I was just not aware of it. So you might be having them too!
In the week before labour started, I had a few AF type cramps, but only when I was sitting on a particular chair at home, whenever I got up, they went away, so maybe that was stronger BH? No clue really

 

[Diddums]

I told my sister last night. She's currently living in Florence until July so I text her that I had my hospital results back and she couldn't tell anyone. Then sent her a picture of the scan

She was so so so happy!!!! She said she was out with friends and just burst into tears in front of everyone lol. She's so excited and it makes it even more real

We've come up with a plan to be able to Skype with her when I tell my parents so she can see their reactions as well! I'm so excited. Can't wait to tell them on monday!!!

Xxx
