**MIDSUMMER DREAMERS** Mid July - Mid August Pregnancies!!! Come join!!!!! :D

[Love_Krystal]

Ladies, I'm really really really worried, and trust the hospital to send me my urine results to reach me on a SATURDAY! ARGH!

They've sent me a letter saying they need to repeat my urine test!

On the test it has counted 7 white blood cells (0-40 being normal) and then 76 red blood cells (0 - 45 being normal).

Argh! I have no idea what this means? I do know that I've complained about UTI symptoms (back pains etc) over the past couple of months but nothing ever came up in the dipstick tests doctors did! I get discharge but thats about it really!

Has anyone else had the same problem? Whats wrong? I'm am just so so so worried!

I'm not sure, I know that high white count usually means an infection. And a low red count usually means anemia. I'm
not sure about a high red count, or how high that's considered? Red ones carry oxygen, that's all I know

maybe it was a messed up sample? Don't worry to much unless the dr gives you reason to worry... Don't jump to any conclusions, it could be a lab mistake or no big deal anyways! hang in there

Congrats on 14 weeks!!! Yay for you! I'm 12 today and that's exciting to me!!

 

[Love_Krystal]

Ok I also read it could be from kidney problems or as simple as dehydration which makes the red cells concentrate and appear that u have a high count! So who knows for sure but I wouldn't worry too much!

 

[ericacaca]

Thanks Krystal! I think it probably is something like dehydration or some kind of infection. I'm trying not to get too worried about it, if the doctors were I'm sure they'd have called me in by now! We'll probably have the scan before we find out the next set of results and we see the midwife again the week after that so it should be ok. My best friend is a nurse, but I don't want to bombard her with all my medical problems!

And 1st trimester is almost over for us! yay! I agree, it's been a long time -one of the perils of finding out early! lol

I'm so jealous Squeeker, do you feel as great as everyone says you will once you're out of the first tri???

Haha, I don't know if it's so great as all that quite yet... but it's moving in that direction! I'm not exactly nesting or doing incredible feats of housework, but I feel more normal than I did a few weeks ago. I can vacuum, mop, and clean the bathrooms without needing a nap between each, so I figure that's all I can ask for!

In other good news, I just found out that a family friend is expecting only 3 weeks behind me, which is awesome! Also, my dad called me and asked if he could make me something for the baby, and he suggested a cradle... I almost cried, I was so touched! My amazing Dad!

 

[Love_Krystal]

Yea I Agree ericacaca! I think you'll be just fine!

So exciting that we are all almost to 2nd tri!!!

Sequeena that is so sweet of your dad! I have had a few spurts of energy this week & they all went directly to nesting instead of household chores lol I got the babies room cleaned out & almost ready so we can paint etc when we find out the sex! & lots of other things like that! Although I'm still exhausted by 8 pm!

And I need to bra shop too but I am so depressed! I pretty much own stock in Victoria secret & none of it fits now! I've gone from a 36D/34DD to a 36H already!!! I can't find anything cute, just sports bras an it's so depressing! I don't want to be frumpyy!

 

[Mum2miller]

I have my 12 week scan in the morning, i am so nervous and anxious!! wish me luck! i hope everyone else is going well xx

 

[Love_Krystal]

aw I can't wait to see pics & hear how it goes!!!

 

[Mum2miller]

the scan went really really well. They said 70% likely to be a girl looking at the tubercle. Plus i just have a feeling she is a girl.

Congrats Mum2Miller! Great pics, what a tubilcle?!

 

[Mum2miller]

yee i thought the same thing when they first told me so i found this page helpful. apparently it is on more than a 30% angle to the spine if its a boy and i guess lower than that or inline with the spine if its a girl. its thought to be 85% accurate at 13 weeks. if you have a specialist sonographer and a high tech machine. i guess we will wait and see. im not going to buy heaps if girls stuff just yet in case its wrong but she did say so far she hasnt been wrong yet.

Aw congrats!!! Lovely pictures!!!

 

[SamiraNChris]

awww your pics are amazing!!!!!! congratulations! and congrats on a little girly too were they private piccies? xxxxx

 

[Mum2miller]

yee, they were at a specialist ultrasound imaging clinic. They only do obstetrics and every scan is done by a sonographer and an OBGYN. Cost a bucket load but the public scans in brisbane arent great and because im a private patient i cant go to them anyway. How many scans d you get to have in the uk?

How exciting mumtomiller- I am soooo hoping I can get the sex of my bean in two weeks when I have my next scan, I'll be 15 weeks so there's a possibility!!!

I'm officially 13 weeks today- I have a doctors appointment this afternoon and I'm extremely nervous to be weighed in, I know I've gained a ton!!

How's everyone feeling?? I still don't feel like the end of morning sickness will ever come!

 

[TaNasha]

aww gorgous photos!

I have my scan tomorrow, very excited!

 

[Love_Krystal]

Congrats on 13 weeks! I am hoping to find out at 15 weeks too, but that's still almost 3 weeks for me

That's exciting TaNasha! Can't wait to hear how it goes!!! I can't wait to get another scan! My last one was at 7 weeks & I am ready to see him looking more like a baby!!

I've had a frstrating day so far with my job, the child I keep is sick & his mother left him with me anyways... And now I have to worry about getting sick, she also told me I worked at the end of the week then called me at 4 am and asked why I was late and I find out then I work today! ... She is manipulating me bc I am pregnant and she knows I want the job to be able to stay at home with my baby! Grrrr!

On a good note my parents are bidding for a house for DH & I in their neighborhood on Thursday. I haven't told anyone bc I don't want to get my hopes up but I am praying it works out, it would be a major blessing!

I hope everyone is doing well and sickness is starting to wear off! Ttc I hope u get to feeling better very soon!

 

[marie_wills]

Oh wow I wont get to find out sex for another 8 and a half weeks , hope your scans go well ladies remember to post up the pics

Hi girls, I've been to see a consultant and substance midwife today. Both have agreed I need anti depressants so I've been put back onto sertraline but now it's a 100mg dose. I can go up to 250mg before it starts to get dangerous for baby.

When I have my triple test I need extra blood taken to check my liver. I overdosed back in October and a lot of the tablets I took were paracetamol which can mess your liver up. I had tests whilst in hospital which indicated it was ok at the time but they want to keep an eye on me.

It's a weight off my shoulders, especially since I only have my OH to support me
