Faith, so glad you're joining us over here! How do you think your boys will respond to the news when you tell them?
Nicola, congrats on your pregnancy! And yes, this second time around does seem different already!
Larraine, welcome! It sounds like you conceived directly after your loss. What a blessing! Hope this one continues to be safe and sound in there and progress perfectly.
Dogmom, yay for another reassuring scan. Those scans are like cocaine, lol. I wish I had one of those machines at home to just peak in on this babe periodically. Haha!
Positive, your daughter is going to be so thrilled. It must have been hard on you all with the loss of your last one so late. We are waiting til after our genetic testing at 10ish weeks (probably 11ish by the time we get results) before sharing with family.
Daisy, I'm with you. Soooo sick. But I'm dealing with it the opposite way as everyone else... I am eating NON STOP. I think I've gained 4-5 lbs that has nothing to do with pregnancy weight. I only feel better when I am stuffed with food, so I've been eating so many carby fatty things. I need to cool it!
As for me, had a scan yesterday at 8+3. Babe looked great, measuring exactly on track to the day. It was wiggling around and kept "hugging" the yolk sac. The tech said it had long legs for this stage, lol. So baby is well, but me on the other hand, ugh. I have a small subchorionic bleed, just a cm large, and the doc thinks it's fine. I'm not actually bleeding at all, so it may just reabsorb. But it does stress me out some. Doc will bring me back for a repeat scan in two weeks to make sure it's not getting bigger. Recommended continued pelvic rest for now. But I keep telling myself baby looked great, had a 177 heart rate, and was right on track. And it gives me another reason to see this little nugget again soon.
