I just got back from my scan. I am only measuring 5 weeks instead of 6. I am worried, but the nurse said it is common. How can my date be a week off when I had u/s's and timed intercourse. I have to go back next Friday for another scan.
She said everything looked fine for 5 weeks. Yolk sac and fetal pole. I asked if it could mean that the baby stopped growing last week. Se said that we can know until next week. But she said not to worry!!! But of course I can't help it!

When I was pregnant with my ds HR measured 5 days behind and I was freaking out. Well needless to say he's a screaming 2 year old lol. You'll be okay, no worries its very common.

I went to have my ob write up today and nurse said babys heartbeat was a little low. Despite the fact that I've been seeing that average at my gestation is between 90-110 bpm. My babys was 110. Go figure. I mentioned this bc every medical journal I read says 90-110 is normal for beg of week 6. She didn't know what to say when I brought that up other then, well its a viable pregnancy so don't worry. Really?!??! Why the hell did u tell me my number is low then?!?!

Point is sometimes knowing too much will freak us out. Your baby will be fine

love, i'm sure everything is just fine!! the nurse is right - don't worry, your baby doesn't need the added stress
i know how hard it is not to worry, though. so hard!!

Sweetie!

Don't worry too much... I know easier said than done and i think i should try taking my own advice! Tee Hee! But I had mine today and she said that I am measuring about 5 weeks instead of 6weeks, but that they can't always be exact at this early stage and that things even out later on! I know what you mean though about not being able to help worrying!

Hey ladies.

I guess this is where we say goodbye. AF showed up moments ago and as much as I want to be sad and shocked, I knew it was coming so I was able to prepare myself for what felt like was the inevitable.

The good news is, our doctor has us scheduled for our very first IUI on the 17th, so hopefully in another month, I'll be back here with a very sticky bean.

Best of luck to everyone!

I'm so sorry.

I also have a feeling Monday will not give us the news we are hoping for. I've been having AF type cramping today and backache. Not sure what that really means at this point.... but I'm just really deflated about this pregnancy. Maybe we can be June babies together. Lots of lucky and for you and your IUI sweetie.

 

[TonyaG]

Thanks everyone. I wish I was normal and didn't know all these stats! Then I could be blissfully ignorant about what we going on!

 

[BabyMay]

I am sure we all read too much. May husband told our dr that I am crazy and read everything. But I just can't help it. Double edged sword. Praying you all see heartbeats soon!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Oh stucki I'm sooo sorry to hear I'm gutted for you chick

 

[Babee_Bugs]

I feel slightly better that I'll be getting my scan at 7 weeks and 1 day... I should then hopefully get to see a heartbeat!... I havent got a clue on my exact due date, due to being pregnant straight after a loss with no af.. So hopefully I'm not wayyyyy out and therefore no heartbeat can be found.

 

[Babies123]

Anyone else freaking out with every little thing they eat now? I had a nice big piece of cake today at a party and after i felt i just over dosed my little bean with sugar - I normally indulge when I want but now im feeling super guilty!!
I eat healthy meals but love a nice piece of cake!!! yum.

Got my date for booking appt today - 27th Sept & I'll be 9 weeks. Will I get to hear my little munchkins heartbeat?

 

[kezziek]

Hi ladies,

Havn't been on in a while as struggling with the nausea but have been trying to read your posts on my phone.

Stucki- I'm so sorry to hear that AF arrived I really hope that next month is your month please let us know how you get on

yay for all the good scans

I am already starting low dose anti-sickness tablets, really didn't want to this early if at all but just not coping and have to look after my other babies too I know it's meant to be reassuring to be so ill but I just hate it and want to fast forward to the second trimester when it seems to ease up a little (i hope)

We told my parents in law last night about the baby and they were lovely about it, such a relief. They are the only people apart from you lot lol who know.

Hope you are all doing ok xxxx

Poppy- I'm not sure, are you in the UK?

I've never had midwife listen for babies heartbeat with the doppler before the 12 week scan but I don't see why not. Although I think I might have had it done at either 10 or 14 weeks first time but my memories a little hazy. xx

Yes, in the UK.

 

[Hann12]

In the uk they won't check heartbeat at 9 weeks, I think the first attempt is at 16/18 weeks.

I hope that all the rescans go well FX!

I did a digi this morning at 15dpo and saw the lovely 2-3 weeks and my IC got a lot darker too. Feeling a bit better to see hcg levels are rising though still want to see the heartbeat!
Two weeks until my scan!
Started to feel a bit sick today but not enough to be sick, it's coming though I know it!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Honest opinions please:

Left to right ----> this way shows the progression of the tests. Wednesday has two, one at 5pm and one at 10pm. The rest are FMU until this morning.
Are they getting darker?!?!?!?

[Babies123]

Yes CaseyBaby!!! I used those tests too and thats exactly how mine looked - congrats

 

[Sass827]

Yes- definitely darker for sure. Relax woman!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Yes- definitely darker for sure. Relax woman!

Thanks! I'm trying but until Monday I know i'm going to be a nervous reck.... especially since both the nurse that called and my nurse told me the fears of what 24 hcg means. My nurse did say more about how it could just be a low number and she has seen women go on to have normal pregnancy with low hcg numbers in the beginning.

It's just a waiting game for me, and i'm SO IMPATIENT! lol

 

[Sass827]

And this is number two for you, so you know your body can do it.
