May 2013 Babies

Baby Pickle at 6w 6d

 

[Courtney917]

I went and had my scan and much to my shock the baby was absolutely fine! HB perfect and measuring 6w6d! Couldn't believe it... was crying so much as Hubby is away at the mo and I went alone that the sonographer was even hugging me!

One more step down many more to go....

The mantra continues... Hope is Important!

Am obsessed with silver skin picked onions at the mo... have eaten 3 jars in as many days... so this one is nicknamed Pickle!

I too have a crappy thyroid.. am now overactive with at last test (Aug) a t4 of 51, TSH 0.05 and t3 of 22.... urgghhhh only saving grace is that apparently being overactive is not so bad as being underactive for baby... just make sure you are tested regularly.

YAY!!!! So happy that everything is okay!!!!!

My T4 was 1.05...I am assuming this is normal? I've heard that the t4 is more inportant than the TSH for the baby...not sure how true this is?

Beautiful padbrat. So glad everything's ok x

 

[padbrat]

Ty Courtney and Missm!

Courtney in the UK the upper limit for T4 is 24-29... so I am quite severely over active... this is not so bad as the baby needs a higher level of thyroid hormones. If you are underactive, which i was for all of my prev pregnancies then that needs to be monitored carefully.

Pad I am happy to hear that you will be with us after all and glad pickle decided to hang around YEAAA!!! I guess I should schedule my prenatal appointment.....just don't really want to based on my experiences with doctors lately.

Oh Pad sweetie, I'm so so so happy for you!!! That is just wonderful news. I was soooo hoping this was what you would be posting today! I can sympathise about hubby being away at times like this, mine's in the sandpit most of the time & always seems to be away when 'stuff' happens (d&c included). I love that your sonographer was hugging you!

afm - I'm suffering from what I'm hoping is round ligament pain/ aches and not an ectopic. Yesterday I had a pretty busy day and boy was I achey in the evening. It was all gone when I woke up but now I've been up and about a bit, I can feel something and I've not being doing anything strenuous. Oh I want to have my scan already! Anyone else feeling achey down there?

Yes, I have been achey too. Since Saturday off and on I have had pulling/ cramping on left side and today it feels like mild AF cramps. I am very cautiously pregnant and hoping I am just being hypervigilant!! I am sure it is just the uterus stretching to accompany out sweet babies!!!

 

[MightyMom]

OMG Pad I am SO CHUFFED!!! Yay for baby Pickle!!!

[padbrat]

[Storm7]

Brilliant scan padbrat! Also great choice of nickname - we call dd out little pickle and she is the light of our lives - I hope that yours turns out to be the same x

 

[padbrat]

Thank you Storm... I so hope I have a healthy little girl pickle just like you.... please please please please!!!

 

[padbrat]

Heart burn today... bad heart burn.

And dare I say....

A hint of MS...

 

[EMTAmanda]

Yay for symptoms! I'm jut exhausted today with a horrid headache :-/morning sickness seems to hit me in the middle of the night at random

 

[padbrat]

Urghh how miserable Amanda... hope the headache goes soon... although that is apparently a pregnancy symptom too...

 

[Tasha]

Gorgeous scan pad. And yay for symptoms. My main symptom is tears, I dont think I'v stopped crying very much over the last three days

I have a recurrent miscarriage appointment now, which means I will get a scan and if all is well, meds.

 

[MizzPodd]

Pad- your little pickle looks beautiful
This is the first pregnancy that I craved pickles! Girls with both pregnancies.
Lol I never had a desire for pickles until now. Hmmmm.... I think I'm having a boy!!

Amanda- thanks! Working out feels good. I was super active before I found out and just knew I had to keep some type of workout going. But because of spotting here and there I just work out three times a week. Mon Wed and Fri it will benefit me later on I just know it! I was on bed rest from5 months to delivery with my first pregnancy so I am hoping I don't have those issues again. However I'm willing to deal with it again if it means my baby will be healthy.

 

[Tournesol]

Hello again ladies.
I had my first scan today, saw my tiny weeny bean and heard a good, strong heartbeat. So exciting! Just wanted to share that.
We will all be fine this time, May 2013 is a lucky month, I just know it!
