I just had my ultra sound and we are one full week farther along than we thought. We are 11 weeks today and my new official due date is now October 30th.

We got to see the legs...feet...arms...hands...everything...bottoms of babies feet...baby waving around and little dives...it was really cool!

I will get the results hopefully later this afternoon....but the lady doign the scan pretty much told us there is one in there.

Welcome!! Its great to have you. Let us know how your appointment goes.


AFM- Id been having some really good days where I had energy and I wasnt sickly and now Im back to being literally exhausted. I took a nap on my lunch hour yesterday and then fell asleep at 830 last night Im so ready to feel better Hows everyone doing?

They don't let us have a picture until 20 weeks here . They wouldn't even let us take a picture of the screen . They said they are too busy and everyone would want one if they allowed it and they wouldnt get their work done !!!!!!!

 

[wantb502]

Really no ultrasound picture???!? That's crazy! I've done ob/gyn ultrasounds before and it literally takes one press of a little button and about 5 Seconds to print. I would have to pay for one if that was the rule here because like my HPT, I would look at it all the time to just reconfirm!

I am doing okay today. Pretty overwhelmed at work and with my extracurricular Activities. I am slammed with patients at work, I am hosting a baby shower this weekend, and I am fundraising and gathering a group of volunteers for the ALS association of KY. I get completely overwhelmed when I think about it all and I how I feel blah and exhausted. I wish I could just sleep, takes walks, and eat. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Still haven't tossed my cookies. I have an iron stomach and I'm 8 weeks Saturday!

 

[missjenn]

Congrats on 8 weeks! Do you work at the hospital or a clinic? Sounds like a crazy busy week for you!

I have not vomited once....a little nausea here or there but to be honest...I would never know I was pregnant if I didnt see the baby or hear the heart beat.

We have to pay 10 dollars for the one we get at 20 weeks but frig...I wish I could have one sooner!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

I cant believe they wouldnt give you one Jenn!!! Thats so nuts! They OFFERED to let me take one with my phone at 6 weeks even though they printed out like 10! lol Im sorry. But youre not too far!!!

Wantb I cannot believe you have the energy for all of that. At 8 weeks I was sleeping 16 hrs a day....heck Im STILL sleeping 16 hrs a day. This making a baby thing is exhausting lol.
Im getting impatient for my appt in a week and a half. I just want to make sure everythings ok Has anyone talked to you guys about genetic testing. OH and I are having a hard time deciding which tests to do

 

[missjenn]

We haven't had that talk yet...when do they start the testing?

They did ask us if we wanted a screening for down syndrome and we said yes as its only done with blood work (7 tubes of it). That's considered the first screening for down syndrome and you pass or fail. If you pass you dont hear anything...if you fail than you're contacted for further testing.

I had my first drs appointment today, they did an ultrasound because my cycles are so long and wonky- found out I'm 6 weeks +- about 2 days. We even got to see the heart beating! So that makes my official due date December 3. My first baby came 5 days early so I'm expecting this one to be early as well, but we'll see!

Thanks for sharing!

Oh hell naw. At my office, the picture prints immediately and they tear it off and give it to me like a receipt so it takes 1 second. Not even a picture of the screen? Wow. Sorry to hear that. Isn't the 20 week mark when you get the sex of the baby for certain as well? That's going to be an awesome visit for you!

Lucky you! Do you feel a little queasy at least? Do you have any diet secrets to keep you steady or are you just lucky? Please, share the secret if you have one!

 

[wantb502]

I don't know who I keep up with it all too. I feel like I am slowly losing it. Luckily, I have a very supportive husband and my parents are helping with the fundraising. I am an RN at a neurologist office and I run our ALS clinic here. It's the most sad disease and the people that get it are the nicest people in the world....it makes the stress and exhaustion worth to know I am doing something to help these people. We have a girl in her 20s that we just diagnosed with ALS and she just had a baby last month...bring it's close to home

In regards to the MS, I stay busy, eat constantly and try to avoid foods that are too greasy. If I eat all the time then I feel better

 

[therealdalia]

Oh crap....I am too slow to figure out the multi-quote function...my apologies! I am still new to this.

Anyways, I had my 7-week visit yesterday, and this time, the doctor located a heartbeat at 140 BPM! He said everything looks healthy, thank goodness! They took eight vials of blood for genetics testing and will send me in to see a genetic expert at the 12-week mark. My friends with children are telling me to beware of "false positives", especially for Down's Syndrome. We'll see what happens.

Sorry for the horrible grammar and the typos. I am writing on my cell phone.

I went To my parents house tonight and my sister immediately made a comment about the size of my breasts. My mom is the same size around as I am 32...and she had some old bras for me try on, so I went shopping in my moms closet. I took two: 1 is a 32 DD and feels amazing in comparison to my boob squishing ones I own and the second was a 32 DDD! The second was slightly large right now, but probably will be fitting soon. It's so depressing. My sister told me I had to wear the DD because then my fiends won't comment on how big they are and question about me bring pregnant (we are keeping it a secret until 12 weeks)! This is awful. I am not ready to accept that my breasts are taking on their own zip code.

 

[missjenn]

LOL...I feel the exact same way!!! I can't believe how huge mine are already! And I still have more than 7 months to go!!!!

You have a very stressful job but Im sure...very rewarding job! It sounds like you are probably on your feet alot too!

 

[larvalstalker]

I am only 9 weeks and my breasts have already ballooned up a cup size. I was already an H before pregnancy sooo lol

Anyone else having issues with clothes fitting this early? I have already had to buy a belly band because I can't even get my pants close to buttoning. My Mom is convinced I am having twins because my great-grandmother has 5 sets of twins... I dunno if I can handle that lol

 

[luna_19]

It's probably just bloat at this point. My pants still fit but are less comfortable so I've just been wearing PJ pants when I'm at home. I was so bloated yesterday two people pointed out my belly but it's mostly gone this morning

 

[wantb502]

Wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing!

I have my first US tomorrow! I am so very excited and nervous. I hate getting excited because I hate disappointment. It's hard to be excited when you are super scared that something is going to be wrong.... But I can't wait to hopefully see my baby, my new love
