Jox I hope he has taken what you have said on board! You are 100% in the right. Has he apologized yet?
 
Dark how exciting your scan is tomorrow best of luck!

Thanks ladies I'm totally bummed but just happy baby is looking healthy so far! Super gaggy brushing my teeth this am so annoying haha.

I also saw January dds and was surprised it was possible already haha it is moving along fast by June we will all be halfway there!
 
Oh and apparently I may have a uti got bloodwork done and two urine samples one at drs one at hospital and the drs found blood in my urine and low white blood count so we will see by tomorrow hopefully I might need antibiotics I had no idea I had a uti if that's the case bc I pee all the time anyway!
 
Hey guys! Trying to catch up, but I wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I haven't joined until now because I kind feel like I don't belong anywhere. My due date is around November 30th (possibly a day or two sooner), but I seem to go a couple days past my due date, so I may go into December. However, my first two were surprises, so it's possible that they didn't have the exact due date correct because I wasn't really tracking my cycles. One can always hope. I'd love to have a little November Nugget!

So I'm 31 and I'm pregnant with my 3rd. It took us a year of TTC to get here. It was a long time waiting to try before that, though, as my youngest will be 8 years old in a month.

I'm still very cautiously expecting. I had some drama with my midwife at the beginning because I was scheduled for an appointment too soon and she doubted the pregnancy's viability due to a faint test line. It turned out that my HCG levels were on the lower side of normal, but they were doubling perfectly. (664 at 4w6d and 7600-ish at 5w6d.) I did have an early scan at 5w6d and it showed a perfect gestational sac in my uterus... but I was right at the point where either a yolk or fetal pole might have been expected, and none was visible. The sonographer didn't seem concerned, but I've spent every day since that even worrying about blighted ovums and such.

I'm 9 weeks now and just had my first "real" midwife appointment yesterday. I had a better experience this time, which was a relief because I really wanted to deliver at the maternity center where I had my youngest, but wouldn't have been able to if the midwife was still rude. (Putting it nicely. lol) The midwife had agreed to send me for a scan to double check viability, but when I started asking about prenatal testing, she said she would combine both ultrasounds... so now I have to wait two more weeks to know if I even have a living baby in there. It is driving me crazy.

Anywho, I think that sums me up for now. It's nice "meet" all of you! :flower:
 
Hi isme :wave: and welcome!!

The early months r so difficult!!! Would u not consider getting a private scan? Sometimes it came bring huge reasurrance X

It doesn't matter that ur little one may be born is December. There's a few of us here who actually have late October due date who go overdue usually and myself will actually be having baby in the middle of October but these ladies r just so lovely!!!

R they ur daughters in ur pic? Beautiful girls for sure!!

Xxx

Thanks for the welcome, Jox! Congratulations on your October baby. I have an October birthday and it is the best. October is my favorite month. :D

I desperately want a private scan, but I'm in the states and can't find anyone here that will do them this early. Everyone just offers keepsake and gender determination ultrasounds starting in the second trimester. It's driving me batty, because I just really want to know if there is even a baby in there. It sounds awful, but if the pregnancy isn't viable, I just want to take care of it and move on. The worst part for me is thinking that I'm wasting this time. I'm not getting any younger, and it took us a year to fall pregnant with this one. I really don't want to waste even two more weeks unnecessarily. :(

And yes, those are my girls. Thank you very much! I love them to pieces. They will make great big sisters if they ever get the chance. We had a foster daughter (of sorts) for 8 months, and when she was gone it left such a hole in our family. I know my youngest, especially, will be thrilled to have another baby in the house. :)
 
Thanks for the welcome Snowbunnie and Darkriver! :hugs:
 
Hi Isme! I'm due Oct but sure my dates are a little out as I was charting my cycles. So will you get a DD at next scan?

Jox hope you're having a better day?

Dark hope Lucy's dad has pulled his weight today.

Elmo, hope you had fun this afternoon celebrating!

Hunni :big hugs: it must be so hard but you're defo better off without him.

Smiley hope your back is ok.

Sorry if I've missed anyone. We're still away and it's hard to keep on top of everything!
 
Welcome Isme!!! I'm due 2nd Nov but will most likely be early - mid October with twins on board. This is a great group of ladies, you'd be welcome here even if you were due well into December!

Hunni I don't know, I'm yet to see an obs but am thinking being induced is a possibility as is a c section because it looks like the twins share a fused placenta. Makes me higher risk and will need even more monitoring. I won't get confirmation until my obs appt which will be after I see the Dr for my NT blood/scan results next week.

Hugs to all you ladies who have or are doing the hard yards with absent ex's/fathers! :hugs:
 
Pippy sorry to hear that increases your risk I'm this shared placenta rare or common amongst twins?

So I am so bad I craved original dorito's ate half a medium size bag my stomach is so full bc I ate them during and after dinner chicken mashed potatoes and avocado and had some cinnimon crunch cereal which I also craved I texted dh asking for tropical fruit Starburst candy is the biggest craving I try not to give in all the time but it's just one of those I'm pregnant days and I want what I want and now! Too bad dh won't be home for hours
 
I don't think it's common for fraternal twins. There's a chance that even fused they are still receiving their own nutrients etc, rather than one more than the other, but we won't know until I see an obs. I hope it's not high risk as all the extra appts are going to be an issue with work.

I had a massive bowl of dorito's Wednesday night after work...covered in salsa, melted cheese and sour cream. Seriously so good but makes me so bloated. Lucky OH is on night shift or I'd be in trouble for eating too much rubbish. Had a takeaway burger the night before that...and for lunch on Monday lol. Today I'll be having a big bowl of hot chips and gravy for lunch at work. Somehow I'm a kilo down from my last Dr appt!
 
Oh my that sounds amazing but dangerous hahaha

I hope all goes well pippy it's probably a very good idea to be monitored by a specialist although I understand the tricky part with work.

Dh is almost home I'll be so sad if he didn't see my text to get Starburst lol TGIF to those that work Friday tomorrow Woot woot!
 
Thanks almost!

Today is Friday here but I'm working the whole weekend, 11 hours each day booo :nope:
 
Todays the day. He helped a bit yesterday but went mysteriously deaf again during the night. However I have to take what I can get lol.

Nervous for my scan later.
 
Dark hope scan goes well my love :)

Scarlet hope you are still enjoying your time away chick!

Pippy I'm sorry about the complications, I watched a very interesting program on twin to twin transfusion is it? Hopefully this isn't the case but even if it is there where lots of cases where everything was just fine, just meant lots of monitoring xxx

Isme - welcome! Doesn't matter when you are due we will have anybody won't we girls! We are a friendly chatty group and your most welcome! Congratulations on your pregnancy after your long wait and I bet everything is just fine, hope the time doesn't drag too badly until your scan xx
