well ladies i had my first scan this morning i am only measuring at 5 weeks i thought i was 5+5 the re thought i was 5+3 but she said i am still within normal ranges. shell probably have me back in a couple days so they can look again for a fetal pole and yolk sac. i was too early to see that today. but there is def only one sac and it is in my uterus so thats a start.

Aw what a beautiful scan! so excited! I'm sure everything is fine but it's nice u get to go back for reassurance.

 

[jmandrews]

YoYo! that made me laugh so hard!!! Thanks I really needed a good laugh!

I also had a horrible dream that I was cramping and went to the bathroom and there was blood everywhere I don't like having dreams like this. Makes me so nervous!

I had to go over to my neighbors last night and watch her daughters while her DH and her went to the hospital. She is almost 8 months pregnant and couldn't stop vomiting poor thing I'm so worried about her. She's in the hospital she was so dehydrated. Her and her family were over here the other night with my sisters family. I'm so nervous it's a stomach bug going around because today my BIL is vomiting. I hope I don't catch it. Scares me to death.

thanks ladies, im a bit nervous though i think ill feel better when i get my betas back and see what they are today.

i had a horrible nightmare last night. i think i was just anxious to get my scan done that i had alot on my mind.

 

[babyfeva]

Nice scan Sprite, looking forward to hearing about your hcg levels!

 

[whigfield]

Yay Sprite! What a cute little scan.

The weird dreams must be going around right now. I had, I don't even know how to explain it, a weird dream. Had absolutely nothing to do with pregnancy, but whatever was going on, my mother instincts were on hyper drive and woke up just feeling absolutely weird and confused and scared. Anywho... I hear that weird dreams will continue to happen throughout pregnancy? It will be interesting to see how this progresses especially since I'm a known thrasher in bed and DH is not too happy about that. I've been feeling a little congested lately, but I'm wondering if it has to do with allergies since my eyes have been more watery and itchy lately. Although I do not know of any allergies I have that it was weird. I've been reading pregnancy books and a symptom in the second trimester is congestion... but there's no way I can be anywhere near the second trimester now. So I was wondering if I could be experiencing some second trimester symptoms just early on. Because another one I read was dark spots forming around the chest and face, and what do you know, a dark spot presented itself on my chin yesterday. Still having the sore BBs, only slight MS after I eat or completely empty stomach. Still experiencing pressure headaches but I'm wondering if that's part of the congestion. I'm feeling forgetful a lot lately and spaced out, but I think that's due to me always having baby on mind that everything else takes second. I'm hoping I get my referral to an OBGYN this week so I can finally make an appointment and get some US going... I'm a military spouse and the way it works is that I first have to see my GP to confirm pregnancy and then they refer me out to an OBGYN that takes my insurance. The waiting game has been a bit hard this last week.

my res nurse just called with my betas they are 2580 so perfectly in line with how many dpo I am I am extremely excited about that I was starting to get worried that bc they didn't see the yolk sac and fetal pole that it wasn't looking good but both the re and the nurse said no as long as those betas are raising appropriately they will just wait a few more days. So I go back on Thursday to check again...if I want to...I told her I did. I figured it'll just give me piece of mind

Im so excited!!

 

[zephyr]

Congrats on the scan and numbers sprite Good luck for Thursday.

My daughter had a bleeding nose early this morning and didnt wake any of us up and didnt flush the toilet the monkey before going back to bed and hubby got up 2 hours before me and couldn't sleep and panicked till I got up thinking I was mc!!! I said to him why didnt you wake me up?! He said he wanted me to sleep.
The poor guy he was so worried.

Still lightheaded and crampy occasionally feel a bit of nausea but nothing too bad.

 

[Scottishmum2B]

That's great Sprite.

I haven't been feeling right at all today. I really struggled to get up for work today as I was so tired. I have felt nauseous most of the day and had an upset stomach. I have also had quite strong cramps on and off today.

 

[kel21]

So woke up today and bbs are all of a sudden way more sore. Yay! Now it is lunch time, I'm feeling slightly nauseous and need to eat but nothing sounds good Lol. I love having pg related symptoms!

 

[CharlieKeys]

That's great news Sprite can't wait until everyone starts having their scans!

So tired today - had an afternoon nap which never happens and falling asleep now!

So just wondering who is finding out what you're having when the time comes? we found out with the other three, so I've decided to stay team yellow for this one.

 

[sprite30]

We're finding out ..I'm too much of a planner not too.

I'm exhausted today too. This snow just makes me wanna sleep.

 

[whigfield]

We'll be finding out, too. I want a giraffe themed nursery (so lots of yellow) either way so it won't affect the decorating of the nursery itself, and I'm going to TRY not to buy too many gender specific clothes (so they can be reused for next baby), but we just can't wait. I don't know if I'll tell family or not. I think my mom will try to weasel it out of me, though!

 

[Scottishmum2B]

We weren't sure whether to find out or not as we found out with our daughter. We are only wanting 2 kids so thought we might stay team yellow for a surprise. However, we have so many clothes for a girl that is taking up space so if we find out, we can either keep them for a girl or get rid of them for space for boy clothes.
Decisions, decisions! If we do find out though, we will not be telling family/friends, it will be our secret! Ha.

 

[Hairsky]

We will definitely be finding out. DH and I are too anxious especially since it's our first. We are also too much of planners to not want to know.

Just got my referral call today! Unfortunately, I have to wait until 2/26 for them to see me! ugh... this is going to be a long 3 weeks. Hoping everyone has better luck than me!

 

[jmandrews]

We found out with DD and will find out with this baby. We want 3 so I'm thinking the 3rd one we will stay team yellow. I can't wait to find out!

Hairsky will you have a scan at that appt? I wish my scan was sooner March 11th is so far away.

 

[HGsurvivor05]

Awww lovely sprite

Hope you are all good ladies and not too bad with any MS

I too have baby brain, took our wee ones at work a walk to shop and I forgot to take the money, had to rum back with couple to pick it up. They had great fun telling their Mums at pick up time

Not too much to report today tired and feeling bit queezy feel hungry then pick away and either before or after tummy does somersaults just trying to sit for a while after and continually sipping even have bottle in the car to sip but that makes me have more pee runs

Been going to my bed hour earlier but not sleeping thing am worried about HG and also excitement. I still have this little secret to myself and hubs thinks he is going to be delayed so totally gutted apart from you guys had to keep this to myself ;-(
Anyway have doctor tomorrow but with us they never seem to take bloods, check your beta or even get you to take a pregnancy test they go with what you have told them and refer you to a midwife who I am sure isn't meant to see you until 8 weeks or so although when I met with MW last Feb to discuss my plans she said she would see me early but will wait and see.
Anyway heading to bead. Got some books from midwife last year so away to look up in them. Also been naughty as Next have some maternity clothes in sale/clearance so bought some bits for work!!! anyone else had sneaky buys?? x

 

[zephyr]

We are staying team yellow I was team yellow once before and the surprise was amazing also having everyone else trying to guess beforehand is really cool.

First day back at school today After the summer holidays and omg what a mission.
We live on a very steep hill and the school is at the bottom. Ten minute walk so not worth the drive plus the main road at the bottom makes it hard to get across in a car. So going down was fine but pushing my toddlers back up was a killer!! And I have to do it again this afternoon
I'm thinking about ditching the double pushchair and walking them down but feeling really nervous about that as I don't like walking them without a second person there.

Hgsurvivor - I am starting payments on a natures sway baby hammock and stand this week was a bit of a sneaky buy. I was meant to wait but couldnt hehe. Making payments meant I could cancel it if I needed to.

 

[Jcliff]

Feeling a tad better today. Not as tired as yesterday. Still nauseous throughout the day. BBs dont hurt yet, (they never really did with my daughter.) I was thinking of getting another digital test just to see if has gone up to 3 yet but we are in the midst of a snow storm, cant leave the house! Maybe Ill go out tomorrow. Anyway, I dont want to find out the sex of the baby this time around. We did with my DD. But I guess I have ALOT of time to decide!
