[Storked]

Saw my OB today and got to listen to baby's HB. All seems to be going well! Next appointment she is sending me to a specialist since I am high-risk

Here is my 9th week one taken today, another little bear?

 

[sunnysun]

Storked- why are you high risk?

I'm getting monitored closely as im on daily injections for blood clot disorder.

Just had my 12 week scan everything looked good we were able to see the arms and fingers it wasn't moving around as much as it was at 9 weeks probably sleeping 2 more weeks until I tell the family I can't wait!

Cute baby!
Yup, I have a blood clotting disorder and am on lovenox. I have a pretty serious family history of blood clots during pregnancy

Totally! I love it.

So glad for the good news!

Yay for a good scan! Mine was sleeping too last Thursday, so next time I'm drinking Coke beforehand.

Glad to hear everyone's good news updates!

Baby's still measuring ahead 2 days, but I'm sticking with my dates. The scan was fine. NT was 1.2mm (Lucy's was 8mm, and she had fluid in her tummy and chest and had a bright bowel. They were surprised she was still alive as I'll as she was at this same scan.) No problems seen at all! Biggest sigh of relief!

Anyone good at nub or skull theories?

 

[grich2011]

They don't look as good as my 9 week one but you can actually make out the hand and fingers

 

[..Julie..]

Today's the big day. Hoping to hear the heartbeat today!

 

[sunnysun]

Stoked- what's lovenox? Another drug to inject like mine?

Mand and Grinch- Great pictures and good to see all is looking well! Keeping my finger crossed for my scan in two weeks.

Julie- let us know how it goes!

 

[Storked]

Sunny, we take pretty much the same drug

 

[..Julie..]

Everything went well!! Such a huge relief to hear the heartbeat! I go in for ultrasound for first trimester screen next week I'm so excited. Such a big weight off my shoulders to hear the little ones heartbeat.

 

[ginny83]

Julie - that's great news hearing the heartbeat

I had my first high risk obstetrician appointment today. The dr was sooooo lovely. I'm getting quick scans with her at 14 and 16 weeks just to get me through the next month or so, and then regular growth scans from 20 weeks.

Also got a quick peek at bubs measured 1 day behind but trying to remember that's normal!

 

[AngelSerenity]

Hi everybody, just checking in. Life is a bit manic with me at the moment but the good news is all is looking good with bubs.

Take care everybody and speak soon x

Glad to hear everything's going well. Did you have a recent appointment or do you have one coming up?

Hi Anchor, I'm having weekly scans as I am high risk. I have had 6 MCs and in addition to clotting issues I have a septum which they now think may cause more complications . I'll hopefully change to fortnightly then normal scanning soon x

Its been ages since I posted on here sorry! I think I slept non stop though until week 10 !
I have now lost track of everyone so hope everyone still doing ok?
My tiredness is lifting now, sickness still there but not all day.
Started exercising again, nothing too vigorous though
Had a scan at 7 weeks and next one in just under two weeks

 

[grich2011]

Went to the doctor today and she said I won't be back to see her for four weeks, I'm happy but nervous about this. So my next appointment won't be until may 28th, thank god I bought that doppler I don't know what I would do.

Wow, I'm glad it's not just me -- I've been sleeping non-stop for the last 5 weeks or so, and it's not letting up yet! Other than that I feel fine, so I'll take it. I'm just starting to exercise again too -- I was doing pretty well until 2-3 weeks ago when I got a really bad cold, and that combined with normal tiredness was just too much. Hopefully if I can keep moving a little bit each day I'll have a bit more energy, or at least I'll be able to fall asleep easily at night (my long naps sometimes interfere, although once I'm asleep it's a solid 9-10 hours!).

Grich, can you find the heartbeat with the doppler yet? I tried with mine last week, an Angel Sounds one, and couldnt find it. I've had a scan since and all ok, with my DS I couldnt find it until I was about 16 weeks but I would love to find it NOW

I'm still suffering too, and getting to the 'please lift' stage so I can feel a little bit normal! I've only been walking but hope to get back out again running next week, I've got a little bit of energy back but it only seems to be on rare occasions a few times a week at the moment. I seem to swing from insomina to deep sleeping, this past week it has been insomnia so I'm praying the sleeping returns soon.

It shouldnt be long now ladies, right?

 

[ginny83]

I am sooo tired!! But my dr has changed my blood pressure meds, so I think that could be adding to the tiredness. I seriously wake up feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep I get!

I have a doppler but I agree with my obstetrician that I'm not going to use it. It was how I found out about my 2nd tri loss, so I have funny feelings about it because of that and I'm also worried that I start obsessing about it! Luckily though my scans are still pretty frequent! Hopefully we'll all be feeling movement soon!
