Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[Maries_s]

Finally I leave the office at 3pm! Everything looks good, I really like the doctor he was very kind, patient and communicative. He showed me the baby!! With a tiny US machine just for me nothing official. He told me that based on how the baby look I am only 6w but we are not going to know for sure until my official US that is going to be in 3 or 4 weeks. Finally, the UTI is gone but I have and small YI (he prescribed me something for that). I mentioned him that my DD was premature so he is going to give me a meditacation at 15 w to try to avoid premature labor.

I'm lucky that my DH does most of the cooking already since I tend to get home from work later. Sadly, I've been sick even on diclegis, so I can't eat much. Had the fun experience of dry heaving at a restaurant while out to dinner with DH's uncle and family (who don't yet know we are expecting).

So glad I'm not the only one starting to show something. Whether it's bloat or bump I don't care, my tummy is usually pretty flat!

Well my US went really well today!!! I got to hear and see the baby's heart beat!!! Measuring right at 8 weeks, so even though they say July 10th, I am going to keep my due date at July 14th... Here's my little 3d gummy bear

Yay 808! Wonderful scan!! Adorable gummy bear

 

[DobbyForever]

Awww congrats on your gummy bear, 808!

Afm had an early scan even though I know better. She said the sac was measuring fine and I have a yolk sac, which is good but no sign of a fetal pole. I know I'm early and honestly based on temps I may only be 5w3d but it still didn't feel good walking out. I did a beta just to see where it's at since I read online that generally you can see a sac at 1500, a yolk at 3000, and a hb at 10,000 and I should be well over 12k by now. Throw in the mishap with the weeks estimator giving me a 2-3 when I should have gotten a 3+ and I'm just feeling really shitty. Plus this means my edd is the day my dad died. And I finally stopped crying after like an hour. I feel so stupid for going in today instead of just waiting until at least next week.

 

[808malia]

Sorry to hear that Dobby! Hopefully its just too early and when you go back in everything will be ok... I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

 

[Thejoie]

Oh Dobby- I'm so sorry you had a bad visit. You're still sooooooo early- babies sometimes develop a bit slow at the beginning. When do you go back in?

 

[DobbyForever]

Thanks. Deep down I know I shouldn't panic but sigh. She has me scheduled for the 12th. So I would be 6w6d (7w1d if going by my ticker/original O pick)

 

[lesondemavie]

Dobby, I went in at what we thought was 5+2 but actually based on how baby is measuring now it was 5+4 and we just say a gestational sac with a great little yolk sac and we were happy about that. I went in the next week and baby was measuring 6+3 with a great little heartbeat. Hoping the same happens for you

My hcg should have been about 8080 on the day of the first ultrasound (based on it being 2020 the Sunday before).

 

[DobbyForever]

Thank you. I guess it's hard to take my own advice because I know I tell women all the time it's ok. I read that it can take up to 6w3d to see a fetal pole so I feel better. It's just not usually me. I usually see it by 5w4/5 but every pregnancy is different. My beta came back at 15,901 so that helps the anxiety a bit

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Dobby. This is totally why I didn't book an early scan... Too many variables. Sounds normal - and not too long to wait to go again x

Congrats on your gummy bear 808! X

9 weeks today for me. Getting impatient about telling DD but I have ordered surprise stuff for Christmas - t-shirt, book, I love my sister frame etc x

 

[Catalyst]

Dobby, I went to early with my younger son and didnt see much. But came back 2weeks later and saw heartbeat.
Where I live now they wont take you for a early scan unless you are about 7 weeks.

 

[vaniilla]

Dobby - I'm so sorry the scan has just made you worry hopefully it's not too long till your next scan and hopefully you'll be able to see a lot more.

 

[Weebles]

I'm so sorry you're feeling down Dobby. I had an early scan as well and only had an empty sac that was measuring almost a week behind, it was terribly stressful. My hormone levels were also exceedingly low and that just added to it. Top it off, my edd is also the week of my brothers death and since we don't know the exact date just he day we found him it's a strange feeling. These early weeks are tough to get through. So much worry because love is there from the very start but just a few days can make so much of a difference this early. They start as just a blob of cells we can hardly wrap our brains around the concept let alone see. I think you're just early Dobby. It's different when pregnancy is a surprise and you don't know until it's obvious but when your trying you know from the get go so it's next to impossible to be patient but it takes time to grow.

 

[DobbyForever]

Awww Betty that's sweet you are holding out until xmas to tell her. When does the stuff arrive? Has she hinted she wants a sibling?

you ladies are incredible. I think I was just highly emotionally yesterday as well EVERYTHING made me cry. But I slept for 12 hours and feel better. I'm just mad because I stupidly asked "so a week like exactly a week on a Friday or wait until Monday?" And she was like you know wait until Monday which is three extra days to stress haha

 

[Weebles]

It's also three extra days for your baby to grow.

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Agreed! Waiting those extra 3 days should give you a much better picture.

Yes Dobby - she asked Santa for a baby brother or sister Thankfully! X

 

[DobbyForever]

Omg Betty that is too flipping cute/perfect!!! Are you going to go with Santa and Mommy and Daddy got together (lol that sounds like a threesome but you know what I mean) to get you this present!

Afm my parents said I could move in with them the final month/right after birth so yayyyyy

 

[Thejoie]

Ugh. GI symptoms are full on. Nausea. Food aversions. Hungry but not wanting anything. Sigh....

 

[Girly922]

Betty, DD asked for a baby sister for her birthday back in October. She's going to be ecstatic when we do tell her, I haven't decided when we will tell her yet but it won't be until after the 12 wk scan.

That's great Dobby! That'll be a big help once baby arrives. Try not to fret too much over your scan, so much changes so quickly this early on, I'm sure you'll see that little heartbeat fluttering when you go back.
