I hope it’s okay for me to post here since I’m not due in May, but a bunch of you went through my journey with me, so I wanted to announce I’m 5 weeks pregnant! Staying cautious, but excited. I’m actually due around July 1st.

12 week bump

Congrats eppgirl!

Sorry you're still feeling so crummy cheluzal.

Holy bump huggies!! Nice!!

I called to book my 20 weeks scan, they were already fully booked for December! So I squeaked in one of the last few appointments.

My midwife said they would be weird about me not getting a dating scan and she was right. On the phone the girl was like, "you have to have a dating scan before we can do an anatomy scan" then I told her I chose NOT to and she was like, "so you haven't had any ultrasounds this pregnancy?" Lol.

Anyways I'm looking forward to finding out the gender. So sure it's a boy!!

 

[Huggles]

Yikes Reiko, glad you managed to get an appointment!

 

[ricschick]

Ahh congratulations eppgirl!!!! So pleased for you!!!! Xxxx

Lovely bump huggles!!!

Reiko glad you managed to get an appointment!!!

I feel quite emotional today and I hate crying I've managed to hold it in tho. Phew

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Reiko how are they almost all booked already? Are you in a small town? I wonder if I should have my MW book now? My next Appt isn’t until the 22nd and I want to get in before Christmas.

Huggles beautiful little bump! I look like I’m about 5 months pg already!! Maybe I’ll post my pic from yesterday.

Congrats eppgirl!

Hey guys!

I thought I was 12 weeks today but apparently I’m now measuring 12+4 so that brings my due date forward to 11th May, DD2’s birthday.

I also found out I had anti c in my blood, doesn’t seem to be much info on it :S

Still, baba looked like a little rocker and Was bopping about like a mad thing! I had my bloods done for screening too so hopefully won’t hear back for a while as no news is good news!

 

[Huggles]

Cute pic riveted Rosie!
Never heard of anti C but hope it's all ok and nothing to worry about.
Happy 12 weeks! (Or 12+4 )

No big city but I choose to get my ultrasounds at a really high tech private clinic where they are constantly updating their equipment... they do a lot of stuff for sports teams, MRI etc so they're just busy with appointments not necessarily just OB scans. It's still covered by my healthcare so why not!!

Our public ultrasound places I have found the techs to be less than friendly, turning the screen away from you, not talking, making you more nervous. The techs at the private place are friendly and they talk a bit more. Technically everything here has to be reviewed by a doctor so they can't tell you anything but I appreciate their demeanour a lot more. There should still be lots of bookings regularly but I'd want to book a month in advance at least for a decent appointment.

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Yay rosie that's wonderful!! What is anti C?

 

[cheluzal]

Love the new scans! Our babes finally look like little people instead of aliens, lol!
Mine is on the 10th. Just over a week!

Rosie-I saw a maternal fetal specialist with dd as they detected an anti M antibody but it isn’t one that generally causes issues and my titre was always super low. I think C is also one that isn’t common and therefore not usually an issue. The crap part is the monthly blood draws.
Reiko-I understand wanting to go somewhere that is somewhat personable. We have one one clinic here with a great tech that I usually request because she will let me see the screen and will tell me what she sees. I have had so many losses that I don’t want to wait for a dr to call me days later with bad news. That’s great that you got an appt. will they do 3D/4D?
I started taking Gravol Ginger today which is helping keep my stomach somewhat calm. If I keep food in it I’m fine but overnight is an issue. This am I woke up wrenching because it was empty. I’m just so ready to move on to the feeling good.

Ahhhhh yay!! Congratulations!! I'm so happy to hear this


Huggles, that is the cutest dang bump. (And that's a fab sweater, too!)


Rosie, I love the scan art! Curious to hear what you learn about anti C; I've got some uncommon Rh thing that we'll need to figure out more about and it seems like a strange world.

 

[KittenLifter]

I still don't know if/when we're doing any kind of FB announcement (we're kinda like...maybe not?), but I couldn't help but make a pumpkin-in-a-pumpkin for our porch steps. I am pleased I managed enough patience to finish it! My husband & MIL were smitten with it.

 

[Huggles]

Super cute kittenlifter!

I googled anti c and it seems to be one of the rarer rhesus antibodies.
So basically if you're rh negative your body can produce antibodies against any rh positive blood (so from an rh positive baby etc), and it seems anti c is one of those antibodies.

Wow, you go to 1 wedding and don't check the thread all day and you're 5 pages behind

Happy week milestones to everyone! Exciting that people are in 2nd tri now!

Lovely scan pics and bump pics also ^_^

Eppgirl congratulations!!!

Afm: I woke up 1am yesterday thinking I'd wet myself. My underwear were drenched with some fluid, no idea what. Not blood or as far I could tell not pee. More fluid came out when I went to the bathroom though and that was blood tinged iykwim. I started to bleed after that. Bright red, quite light, no clots at all. By morning it was just 'when I wipe' still bright red.
It was my best friends wedding yesterday, so even thought EPU wanted me in, I had to go. Over the course of the day the blood got less and turned brown. I'm heading for a scan at 2 this afternoon.

I have no idea what that fluid was. Not a clue. So I might find out I'm leaving you all this afternoon. I'll keep y'all updated.

In happy news, the wedding was beautiful, and I cried all the way though, then all through the speeches and the first dance. Preg hormones got me good!

 

[Huggles]

oh no broken, i really hope everything's ok! I hope it wasn't amniotic fluid.
