Hi ladies! I haven't been able to read all of your posts, but wanted to pop on this thread because I'm due 3/29. I'm 4+5 today, and am always super nervous in first tri. Would love to hit fast forward to my first scan at least!

Hi mlm.

Sweetkat that is awesome!!!

5w 4days and hcg was 1457. Progesterone was 20.6. I go for my first scan next Monday.

Flou I think we have the same edd

Thanks ladies! I have an appointment at 6+3, but they usually don't scan until 8 weeks. I'm mostly feeling totally fine. Had cramping at first that seems to have lessened. Occasional slight nausea, some bloating, and some soreness in my breasts but that's about it. I hattttteeee morning sickness, but I'm kind of wanting it for reassurance right now!

Hi Mlm and congratulations!

Hi Carybear, I think we do have the same date. Good luck with your scan on Monday.

Welcome mlm and congrats!

So I finally called my OB today. Apparently he books up about a month in advance. So instead of getting in around the 7th, my appointment is the 15th. I'll be just over 11 weeks then so at least it should be clear if things are progressing properly or not.

The nurse kind of got after me for not calling earlier. Last time I called around 5 weeks though and they made me feel silly for calling that early. I can't win there. He is a very good OB though so I'm sticking with him.

I guess I have a 3 week wait now. Sigh. One of the main reasons I delayed calling was because the wait made me very anxious last time. I guess it's unavoidable.

That's when my scan is aswell! The 15th feels tooooo long away!

 

[Sweetkat]

Thank you. It's a huge relief. Obviously a long way to go and other things could go wrong, but I am feeling much better.

And so pleased it's a girl - I have sooooo much girl stuff that a boy would have had to wear pink

Hope everyone else is ok. Keeping everything crossed for more good news on this thread xxx

 

[Sweetkat]

My normal scan will be between 10-14 weeks - I will get the date in the next week. I think that means that if it's late August we can't go away, but I am not planning to fly anyway.

 

[mlm115]

It is so nerve wracking leading up to a scan! Hope the wait goes quickly for you.

 

[Sweetkat]

Karoolia, the good thing is at 11 weeks they can do NT measurements and all the blood tests, whereas at 10 weeks it's sometimes too early.

I hate waiting. I am the most impatient person on the planet. Called the clinic 3 times today because they said results might be available, just on the off-chance they would be. I just can't wait.

 

[karoolia]

That's when my scan is as well! The 15th feels tooooo long away!

At least we can wait together. We have a trip planned this week Thursday-Saturday for DH's work so I think this week will go by quickly for me. The next two will be torture though. Do you have anything to keep you busy for the next 3 weeks?

We're flying home for a week long visit on Aug. 25th. I really hope I don't get bad news. The only thing that could make a miscarriage worse is probably having to experience it while stuck on an international flight while it happens.

On the other hand, I keep having wonderful thoughts of getting to tell our families in person and show them the pictures. I really hope this baby is doing well.

 

[maryanne1987]

I'd say 11 weeks is better karoolia. With my eldest my dating scan was at 10 weeks and I had to come back a week later because baby wasn't big enough to get measurements they needed. Week later all was fine. Plus is you want the nt mesuremebt then 11 weeks is perfect. Hope it passes quickly for you.

 

[karoolia]

I'm glad you guys all think 11 weeks is a good time. The nurse made me feel stupid for not booking earlier.

That nurse has rubbed me the wrong way before. When I went in with spotting with my miscarriage she told me there was a good chance I had never been pregnant in the first place. Then got mad at me when I presented my arm for the Rhogam shot (apparently it goes in the butt, how would I know that?).

 

[xkirstyx]

I have nothing planned. Running round after the kids seems to be keeping me busy. My weeks are flying by so hopefully the next 3 will!
