[Thejoie]

Lil bug is perfect!! 7w 5d HR 156!

Feel sooooo relieved. Maybe now I can try to enjoy the day So i feel good!!

 

[DobbyForever]

Leso so glad you were able to get your snack on and that the nausea was better controlled today

Weebles yay for the scan!!! So sorry about the cold. I hope you feel better.

Catalyst, sorry to hear about the cold but congrats on getting your Christmas shopping done! FXed for a good result from your bloodwork

Rainbow I agree heartbeats can vary, and even the same baby in the same timeframe can measure differently just based on the angle of the scan. 100-180 is the average, but being a little over I’m sure is perfectly fine.

Gag, I’m so sorry. I would freak out as well.

Baseballmom, I’m glad they got you in quickly and you got to see your baby and the heartbeat! I’m surprised they want to rescan you. Like I said above my gyn said 100-180 is the normal range for heartbeats. I’m glad you have some clarity on your gestation. I remember you mentioning you weren’t 100% on it.

Joie I’m so happy you measured right on and all was perfect! Congrats!

So much good news today

Theo great scan and heartbeat!! It's such a relief isn't it?

Bbm, I believe it's normal that early for the heartbeat of baby. But I'm glad you get another scan soon to make sure.

 

[Catalyst]

Grate scans ladies so hapou for you.

This cold seems to be teducing. At least I dont have sorr throat anymore and fever is going down but still caugh and stuffy nose.
And caugh makes me sometimes gag and it tutnea my stk ach upasite down. Made me hurl couple of times.
So thia morning since DH had to work realy late I got the boys to their schools. On the way home just few metera from the driveway I start to caugh.. alot.. and end up gaging and then I was just thinking "omg goin to hurl almost home got to get home" I managed to park the car and then open the door and get out the hurled on the driveway.. then ran inn and hurled there in the downstairs toilet. Ugh... so so so over feeling like this.

Few things that ms ia bothering me now.... tomorrow I have bloodwork but habe to fast for it. I always wake up feeling hungry and nauseus and if not eat I hurl. So that will be a fun morning for me. Then there is the holiday... I am going to drive to our old hometown where we grew up and our parents and some of our siblings live. It is about 5 hour drive I think and In starting to get nervus. Im so sensitive for things so I am seeing my self geting motionsickness for the first time and hurling on the way. Then there is a tradition here. December 23rd there is this fish thing we eat.. it smella horrible and I know ppl from other plazez would think we are crazy for eating it. I usualy het different fish but I am afraid I might not hande the smell. Im realy sensitive to smell. Then xmas dinner. My mum has to change her plans about the desset cause there i something in it I am not allowed to eat causr Im pg. Been telling her to just make what they usualy do (sherry trifle) and I will just bring icecream for me but she just keeps trying to find something for all. And Im afraid I wont be able to eat or enjoy xmas dinner... food aversions and ms!

Anyone els stressing about stuff like that? Im maby just silly?

 

[second.time]

Joie and baseball, congratulations on the scans! Such good news.

Catalyst, I'm also nervous about Christmas traveling. We're doing a two-leg trip to see different relatives. I've stocked up on preggie drops and other things that help nausea, but it's still daunting to think about being in the car for a long time. I also worry about my food aversions. I have so many foods I really love during the holidays, foods that are nostalgic, and I hate not being able to enjoy them freely! I don't think you're being silly at all. I hope the trip ends up being fun and easy for you.

 

[Ad0rkkable]

Great scans ladies!!! Glad to see everyone is doing good despite the MS. My nausea has pretty much subsided and now I'm just always hungry! I know its way too early but I can't wait to feel the baby move... I'm waiting to find out the gender at birth so I feel like the next big thing will be feeling movement... can't wait! All of you moms out there, how early did you feel baby move in your previous pregnancies?

 

[Girly922]

Great scans ladies! I'm rather jealous here waiting for mine

After thinking I'd got lucky and escaped ms, I have been struggling no end this week with constant nausea. I have a bit of a fear of throwing up so I'm massively fighting the urge to vomit. It's worse when I'm hungry or haven't eaten in a couple if hours, but snacks just aren't doing the trick. I need a full meal. I'm really conscious of the weight I'm putting on, but I don't really know how else to cope with the sickness.

I felt my first flutters at 14wks with DD. It felt like little air bubbles, and I didn't really know what I was feeling until I tried explaining it to one of my friends who explained that it was baby. The movements only got stronger from there.

 

[Maries_s]

First, congratulation on all the lovely scan this week. I am so glad that everything is ok to everyone.

Catalyst: I am glad that you cold is reducing. Hope you feel completely recover soon.

About me: I am freak out because I have been having acute pain in my lower back. When I have it I can barely walk, it seems like a type of spasms and it occurs mostly after going to bed. Also I think my UTI is back. I sent an email to my doctor and the nurses said that it sounds like it could be a UTI or kidney infection. She sends me to and Urgent MD or my PCP but I’m pretty sure she did not look into my record and notice that I am pregnant so I called the office and left a message a now waiting.

We had a scan today and everything was good! Could see the baby moving a lot and I had to stop myself from crying! Baby measured 34,6mm. The ticker is a bit wrong, i'm about 10+3. Also we decided to do the new bloodtest which will tell us with almost certainty if the baby has down syndrome or other common chromosome problems which means we will find the sex of the baby already early Jan!! Time is gna fly with christmas around the corner!

Congrats bbm and Joie about ur scans too!

I am a little bit jealous too! My scan is not until Jan 4th!

Congratulation on your scan! I am curious about this test. What is the name of this labs? Did you ask for them or they tell you about?

 

[Weebles]

Aww, cute scan Luna! The US I had when my baby kinda looked like that, the way it was moving, those little wiggles, it was just the most adorable thing. Hubby and I teared up too.

 

[Catalyst]

Second trimester - exactly. I am already kond of missong out on the xmas cookies. Dh has been baking and I habe just nibbled. One here one there. Cant eat more than that. Everyone els are eating them like 3 at a time or more with big glass of milk! And quality street chocolate.. that is sp xmas thing here and we usualy buy big box. I can maby eat one then I feel ugh.. used to eat some when wrapping the xmas precenta.
Think I will fo something similar and maby have some sandwitches to eat on the way. Still just over a week til the holidays. Much might change by then. At least I hope for us so we can enjoy the food

Marie - UTI is no fun. I used to get one every 3-5 months. Been to specialist who has checked my bladder and kidneys. Im just unlucky to be prone to having them. When pg with my older I had like 3 or 4 times before I was 18 weeks. So they put me on antibiotics for the rest of the pg to prevent it. Said a infectio can causr tractions. With the younger I had one or maby two and then straight to the meds. But after I had him I have seldom got UTI.. dont know what they will do about it now...
Hope they fins out what the pain is and help you with the uti.

Marie we live in Belgium so the name is in french. But i found this article about it:

https://www.google.be/amp/www.forbe...me-dramatically-reduces-errors/?client=safari

The doctor told us about it, she said it is really new that they have only been doing it for less than a year. They take blood from the mother and they find the baby's molecules from it. But it's completely safe compared to the amniocentesis. Downside is that here it's not yet covered by the insurance and it costs about 400euros.

I assume it's similar to the harmony test that they have in the US? It's Non Invasive Prenatal Testing. It's only available privately in the UK and the sample has to be sent to the US for testing, but it can be done from 10 weeks to check for trisomy 13, 18 and something else. It also reveals gender. But it's like £200-300 here.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

I'm over the moon. Last night my hubby came home with an early Christmas present for me.. A snoogle pillow... Best night of sleep I've gotten in two months!!!

 

[Flueky88]

Quick selfish post. Baby looks great and heart beat was 167. I forgot to ask what baby was measuring Oh well I was just over the moon seeing baby in there

 

[808malia]

Beautiful scans ladies!!!

 

[DobbyForever]

Fluek your Jedi is so humanly now

Agreed the harmony, panorama, and maternit-T tests are all non invasive prenatal tests that use bloodwork at 10 weeks for screening and you can learn the gender if you specify you want to know. Here in the us it runs around $700-800 but I had a doctor who would do it for $300 if you paid cash. I can't get it because I am under 35 so I am trying to find a private practice to do it

 

[lesondemavie]

Beautiful scan fluek! The measurement of the baby is always printed on my pictures. Do they not do that for you?
