I probably won't get a scan til end of sept, seems forever from now!! I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long.

Thinking of you Mrs A xx

MrsA, take time to recover.

I probably won't get a scan til end of sept, seems forever from now!! I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long.

Mine wont be till around that time, and seems forever away. Wish I could have one around 8 weeks for the reassurance, as our old hospital fobbed us off last time, then one around 12 weeks to check baby is growing healthy.

Shouts to all the mommies who had recent scares or were nervous beyond words. Glad to hear such great results for everyone.
My thoughts and prayers go out to MrsA. Speedy recovery.

Went to the OB yesterday for post appointment from my U/S. I have luteneal cysts on both overies, which explains my severe cramping all the darn time. Baby measured 6w4d with a 108 hb rate. I thought that was pretty good. But my dr says it's low. He is sending me to a maternity medical specialist at the local hospital to get another ultrasound. They specialize in fetal medicine and only focus on fetal ultrasounds so they will give me the best information possible. The ultrasound takes about 45 minutes and then an hour later the doctor comes in to talk to you about everything. Appointment is Monday so I should be measuring 7w6d. Just hoping my little nugget stays strong.
MS has taken over my life. I asked the dr about Zofran and he subscribed a newer drug that's been FDA approved for pregnant woman and it's supposed to be a lot better than Zofran. I really hope so. I've never felt so ill in all my life.

Hi Everyone! Congrats on all your BFPs!!

I'm close to 6 weeks pregnant with my first, and I'd like to join the thread. I just turned 32 and DH is just about to turn 33. We have been together for 10 years. DH and I got a wonderful surprise on July 16th. After TTC for 15 months with one early loss, we decided we needed a break and decided to NTNP. To our surprise, on our second month of NTNP and only BDing 3 times the whole cycle (only one time that could have been in the fertile window), we somehow wound up pregnant! I'll take it!

I had a beta on the day I got my BFP (July 16). It was 26. Two days later it was 81. I just had another beta today. It was 10089! I have one more scheduled in two days, but I'm feeling positive that this is my sticky one!

I'm estimating the due date to be March 28th, but that will likely change by a day or two. I have no idea when I O'd (or even when we exactly ) because I truly was NTNP, so this date is based upon my typical O date.

I look forward to getting to know you all over the next 8-9 months! I know nothing about being a mom, so I'm hoping I can learn a lot from everyone on here and share ideas and resources.

So sorry Mrs A!

I feel like im in the twilight zone recently. Ive had a very crabby baby who wont nap during the day and i just feel like tryig to get her down is taking over my life!! Ohhhhh the joys.

Hmmmm... my next doctor apptmnt is aug 12th or 13th and i will just have the doppler, no scan... my next ultrasound is at the end of august I think august 27th?? i will be 12 weeks and they will do the NT scan and the bloodwork that goes along with it.... ahhh.

Hi girls!! I've been MIA for awhile! I spent the weekend so sick and unable to do anything. Nausea and dizziness and fatigue. Monday I finally asked MW for a prescription for zofran. Feel better now except now I'm constipated!!! It's awful :,(

 

[wavescrash]

Hey all. So sorry to hear, Mrs A

So I was prescribed Zofran yesterday and took it last night but I was already feeling pretty nauseous so it didn't really have much effect. Took it first thing this morning & felt better most of today than I normally do. However, instead of nausea I was hit with the worst gas pains ever while at work. They were crippling and felt like actual labor contractions. I knew it was just gas because I would get relief but it was still so painful. And then I had to go to the bathroom and let's just say that took awhile but I apparently cleared out my system and the cramps subsided until this evening. I'm going to go ahead and blame the Zofran causing constipation for the pains lol. You win some, you lose some.

 

[Shabutie]

So I cant sleep and its getting on my nerves! Just cant shut down.

Hello ladies hope everyone is doing well!
I had my first official prenatal appt. today, mainly health questions, height/weight and labs...
I'm scheduled the 8th for a dating u/s, and the MaterniT21 test which tests for genetic disorders, etc., and it's always leaves one apprehensive and a bit nervous to get those tests done, but it does tell you the gender of your baby in the first trimester, so that's pretty interesting to know I will most likely know the gender right around 11-12 weeks. This is the first pregnancy I've had being 35 or older so I'm hoping for a good outcome, and I also hope for healthy babies for all you lovely ladies as well...

 

[Disneylovers]

How did I miss the post on Mrs A I'm so sorry, you are in our thoughts

As for the zofran constipation, I get that and cramps from it but they pass. I figured I'd rather have that over the constant nausea. If I don't take it a few hours before bed, I'm pretty much guaranteed have a terrible time sleeping because it feels worse when I lay down. Sure, they tell you to lay on your left side when you sleep because it's better for preventing still births/improving circulation but they dont tell you it slows down digestion too

On the good side, taking the zofran is definitely helping me, I haven't lost anymore weight and I actually put 2lbs back on And I managed to eat half my dinner, chicken with a mix of steamed veggies in gravy. I knew I had no hope of eating it all but I did better than I thought! I loved the gravy that much that I was contemplating watering it down to drink the rest of it... Gosh that makes me feel weird but hey I've always loved gravy. Whenever we had roast dinners as a kid I would swamp my plate with gravy so much that my Mum would ask if I wanted some roast dinner with my gravy haha!

 

[ruby83]

Hahah I love gravy too, and now you have made me feel like it!!! Might need to whip up a roast this weekend! ;-)

 

[donnarobinson]

[mummy2o]

Welcome lionchild.

AFM the only thing left is swore boobs. So I'm now doing all my pre-pregnancy stuff and enjoy it again. The only other thing is I sleep more at night, which I may have to change once college starts in September, but I'm really positive about the whole experience now.
