Livvy - Hope your appointment went well today, did they do a scan?

Hhimayy - How are you doing sweetie? Hope the spotting has eased off X

Ttc126- Cramping scares me so much, even though I know it's normal it just reminds me of my period coming! Mine have eased a little but I'm feeling so sick instead But like Mels says if you are every anxious get checked out X

AFM - I had another scan today... The little bean is growing perfectly & they dated me at 7+2 X

Am glad your scan went well katestar I can't wait to have my first scan

I seen the midwive today she gave me a due date of Feb 23rd said I was 9 weeks would not listen to my dates but I am positive my dates are correct so we will see

 

[ttc126]

Thanks ladies. I called the ob office and the nurse reassured me everything is most likely fine. She said don't put too much stock in symptoms and just relax and don't worry unless the cramps get severe or I bleed.

My first scan is next Wednesday at 8am! I can hardly wait!

Mel that's crazy she won't listen to your dates. Typical I'm finding. They ONLY will go by lmp even if you know exactly when you conceived!

Kate, so happy your scan went so well! And thanks for the reassurance on cramping ❤️

Hi everyone! It's still a worrying time isn't it.

I'm a bit worried about my lack of symptoms (just sore boobs and tiredness, but who isn't tired with a toddler!) but I just keep trying to remind myself that I had no symptoms with my LO until 7 weeks and BAM I got hyperemesis, but it's still scary!

Only another 6 weeks til I'm out of first tri, arghhh!

 

[katestar53]

Next Wednesdsy will soon be here Ttc126 then you get to see your little bean ❤️

I know button... 1st trimester drags doesn't it 😥 I bet having hyperemesis was awful! Did it last your whole pregnancy? X

Mel some midwifes are so ignorant & never listen to us mums even though we know our bodies! X

 

[button05]

Kate my HG only lasted until 16 weeks last time but it was awful...dreading it this time! I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't happen this time, and taking lots of vitamins that I didn't last time (b6, ginger etc) to try and prevent it happening, but we'll see!

livvy - how was your appt today? Did you have an ultrasound?

ttc126 - I find my symptoms come and go and I also stress on days that they are less or non existent. Yay for your us next week!

katestar53 - I had an ultrasound today as well that they dated me 7+2! So nice to see lo!

mel102 - it's silly when they won't listen as dates for important tests can be off. I just tell them I don't remember my lmp when I think my dates may be off. Then they have to go by ultrasound

button05 - I hope you don't get HG again!

afm - very happy to see the heartbeat today and my dates were moved forward exactly where I thought they should be (my first u/s last week showed a week behind which was scary). New EDD is March 13th.

 

[Livvy]

Katestar congrats on the ultrasound! Very exciting, hope you can relax a bit

Sweetv, congrats on your ultrasound too! You all are lucky, I had to pretty much beg for one! They scheduled me for next Thursday, and took blood today. Really hope my progesterone is all right as it was a bit of an issue last time.

Mel, my ob did the same thing. Dated me at 9 weeks based on lmp even though I'm certain I'm only 6. I wasn't ovulating regularly as I'm still bfing. They'll see at the ultrasound I guess.

Finally got my beautiful 3+ at 23dpo. I so so hope that this indicates that this baby is the one 🙏

I'm at the midwife today. Will get all my paper work and be booking in for 12 weeks scan. Kinda hope she sends me for an early one with my history too but we will see

Such amazing news Kmpreston!! So happy for you & I know that I'm 7 months time you will have your rsinbow baby in your arms X

 

[SweetV]

Livvy - my progesterone was an issue last time as well but I've heard it can interfere with breastfeeding so I didn't want to ask for supplements. My doctor didn't bring it up so neither did I. Perhaps breastfeeding is the reason my dates are off too? I should also be closer to 9 weeks but I told them that didn't make sense as we weren't "active" until af was due. That's how I got the early ultrasound. Sure enough dated me at 7 weeks. Hopefully next Thursday comes quickly!


kmpreston - yay for 3+!! I hope you get your ultrasound early!

 

[ttc126]

Yay for that 3+ kmpreston!!!

 

[kmpreston]

Thanks guys. I know I'm not out of the woods yet and still worried about another loss but at least things are progressing as they should so far. No early scan from the midwife but I have a private one booked in for 7 weeks - Monday 8th. Part of me doesn't want to go in case there is no HB

 

[mel102]

Yay for the 3+ Kmpreston 2 weeks will fly in and am sure you will see a healthy little baby x

 

[hhimayy]

Livvy - Hope your appointment went well today, did they do a scan?

Hhimayy - How are you doing sweetie? Hope the spotting has eased off X

I'm okay. Spotting was minimal and seems to have tepered off. Still no symtpoms other than the indigestion which I know is from the progesterone I am on. With my daughter my only symptom was the indigestion so I'm hoping that the low progesterone was the only issue I have. Scan on Tuesday so I've just been keeping my mind off things until then. Thanks for thinking of me

 

[Livvy]

Congrats kmpreston! I really hope you feel a bit better now.

That could definitely be, sweetv.

Got my labwork back and Hcg was 41,000 and progesterone was 12. I feel super relieved as my Hcg at 6 weeks with my mc was only 300. Anyone know if 12 for progesterone is low? She told me it was normal but I think with Slade it was around there and she put me on supplements "just in case."

 

[SweetV]

kmpreston - I feel that way every scan. I think the worries are totally normal.

hhimayy - I hope your scan goes smoothly and only having indigestion sounds amazing!

Livvy - 12 for progesterone is normal (I believe anything over 9 for first tri) but when I was at the fertility clinic they wanted to see it over 50 so I think it depends on circumstance.

afm - I told work this morning. I'm suppose to be coming back from leave and taking a promotion when I will be 12 weeks so I wanted to be upfront with them. They told me they still wanted me to take the job and not to worry. What a huge relief. It has honestly been keeping me up at night so I feel so so much better. Even if they had of said no to the promotion I would have felt better knowing I had done the right thing.

Hi new ladies, congrats and welcome! I will respond individually at some point, but wanted to pop in real quick to see how everyone is doing!

AFM- yesterday afternoon I had the tiniest amount of blood when I wiped, but I think it wasn't vaginal..just really freaked me out. Nothing right after or since, so I assume all is okay. I have an appt booked for Tues, hopefully they'll do a scan then or at least schedule me for one the same week

 

[SweetV]

I had some bleeding in my last pregnancy and it was nothing. It was still nice afterwards to have a peek at baby though and make sure everything was ok. Hopefully they give you a scan!

Mine was at 12 my doctor didn't seem concerned. My symptoms had disappeared though and after we saw the heartbeat I asked to he put on them. Online I've read it needs bto be above 6, above 10, and I've seen above 15. She said it wouldnt hurt anything so I thought better safe than sorry.
