Hi Ladies - please does anyone have any thoughts?

Hi Ladies

I would really appreciate your thoughts as something has been bugging me since my scan last friday.

I am pretty sure of my dates because for once my cycle was "normal". If I am out I am pretty sure it can only be by a day or two.

I got a positive OPK on CD13 (24/06) and my first BFP at 10DPO (04/07). It was a digi and said 1-2 weeks. A week later I did another, 2-3 (10/07). And again a week after that, 3+ (17/07).

So when I went for my scan I calculated I was 6+4.

But she said our bean was measuring 5+6. That's 5 days out. Feels like a lot to me. There is no way I could have got a BFP at 5DPO or after late implantation on that date?

So I am now worried that baby is not developing properly. Or do they go in fits and starts and has maybe caught up? Don't know what to think. I guess I will find out about the next scan but don't have a date yet.

Has anyone else had this?

Sorry I'm not sure but didn't want you to feel alone. I've read a few posts like this though and usually things turn out ok in the end, fingers crossed for you

I have IBS and have had problems with my stomach just turning and having to run to the toilet. It's like a mucuos as well, not nice at all.

I thought it was pregnancy related but will ask when the midwife rings next week.

I have had a terrible upset stomach at times, also as you described. Not everyday but not nice when it does happen. Not considered it could be IBS before though. Just assumed my stomach had not agreed with something.

Be good to know what your midwife says

If thats the case, Im going back to my original tea and throw the decafinated tea in the bin.. I really miss my tea in the mornings

You can have up to 200mg (or is it ml? whatever the caffeine is measured in) per day If you drink coffee, you can't make it to 2 cups. But a pepsi or coke has about 35mg of caffeine in a can. I drink one of those big 99c cans of Arizona sweet tea and those are somewhere between 30-40mg of caffeine No reason to cut it out completely!

I'll let you know when I speak to them what they say. It's the first time I've said I'll speak to the midwife, all seems very strange and real! Xx

I threw up for the first time ever during a pregnancy this morning. I knew it would happen eventually, considering all the gagging and dry heaving I do all day, everyday.
So. Gross.

On a good note, baby's heartbeat is still staying strong at around 170. So I guess all is well

Do you listen to your baby's heartbeat at home? Which product do you use?

Everywhere we reaD it is a symptom. I guess you can't expect your belly to grow a baby and stretch without feeling it.

As long as its not severe an you are not bleeing then maybe you just need rest?

 

[hope2bmum2b]

it looks like we're all at a bit of a low stage, not really knowing whats happening to our bodies and if it what we're feeling is normal and ok.

im full of a cold and achey and worried that its a sign somethings wrong...

i hope not as i caved and told my mum today...couldnt bear to have to take it away again!

fxd on a good note i had my first ms today, came over me like a wave..wasnt sick but was ready for it!

Heres my scan from Aug 1st I was 6 weeks and 2 days heartbeat was there the lady wouldnt tell me what it was

 

[delilahtoday]

Ha that sounds intriguing that the doctor was 'a bit odd', I've got all sorts of images in my head! I hope this next one is an improvement!! My due date is 6th March I think, but that's only the date I've worked out myself & my midwife went along wirh it. It's just my 2nd midwife appt on Tue, scan on 22nd. Good luck with your scan!! Thanks for your reply, it's reassuring to hear others are going through similar! This last few weeks feels like several months! X

Well he was just awkward throughout the whole appointment and I couldn't decide if he was interesting or awkward or both haha. I went away and thought 'I can't imagine going through the internal examinations etc with you because it would be like going to the land of awkward cervix checks'. Anyway I may have been a bit harsh but I'm pretty sure at this point I'm allowed to be..
It is reassuring to hear that other people have some of the same concerns about symptoms and really anything. I'd love to hear how you're going so please keep in touch

P.S I agree, this has been the longest 4-5 weeks of my life I'm sure. Bring on the 12 week mark and the big belly!

My due date is March 15 2013!!!!! Happy & Healthy 9 months to everyone!

 

[Libbysmum]

Love the cute little scan...The sonographer told me the heart was healthy and when I looked through the photos one said 107bpm that was at the 6wk scan I haven't had any since then...probably next one will be the gender one at 20wks. I am sure it will have grown a whole lot by then!

 

[SLCMommy]

My next prenatal appointment is Aug 9th I should have more information than. LOL

 

[hope2bmum2b]

hi ladies can i ask why so many of you have had such early scans? i saw my midwife on friday and she said they wouldnt do an early one(before 12weeks) unless they're was a problem. even though i have had a mc before. i desperatley want to know if bean is at the right size for its age...and everything else. its going to be a lonngggg 5 weeks to wait!

 

[Ocean breeze]

It seems they do the scans earlier in different parts of the world, USA being earlier than UK. In UK it's standard to do the first scan at 12 weeks, unless you've been through IVF or are deemed high risk, ie 3 previous miscarriages. That's my understanding of it, it's such a struggle waiting til 12 weeks isn't it!! My last midwife did say that at my next appointment (10wks) they would try to listen for a heartbeat, so maybe you could also request that, although they did say that in some cases it can increase anxiety as the baby may not be in the right position for the heartbeat to be heard. You're not alone though, I've also had a miscarriage before which makes this wait all the more agonising! Fingers crossed for you xx
