Jcliff-good luck on your scan!!

I don't have a scan until March 3! It's so far away!

Sorry for your loss bug x

Not looking too good here either. I had my early scan on Monday should have been 6 weeks 3 days but I am measuring really far behind - only 5 weeks. There was a gestational sac and a yolk sac but no fetal pole or heartbeat. I know when I ovulated due to my ovulation tests so I shouldn't be measuring that far behind.
Bit distressing really as last time this happened I miscarried a week later. I really was praying for a 'good' scan like I had with DS - at 6 weeks 3 days he had a perfect little heartbeat which made my heart sing.
Anyway back for another scan next Tuesday to see if bean is developing - keep your fingers crossed for me ladies xxx

Hope everyone else is feeling well - don't worry about the lack of symptoms, I felt fine for my entire pregnancy with DS barely a sign, symptom or a bump. No one really knew I was pregnant unless I had told them cause I had such a teeny bump!

Fingers are crossed!

Did you use ovulation sticks after as maybe your body tried to O didn;'t and then did few days later? I actually had that with this cycle. They got darker and darker then was + and we BD and then they got darker again and I Oed that time for sure as got + HPT 9 days later-also felt implantation 6DPO

Either way good luck! I knwo the limbo feeling.

I've never had a scan with either of my previous pregnancies and won't be getting any with this pregnancy either. But hopefully for those of you who are getting them, the time goes by quickly!

 

[SisterRose]

Fingers crossed for you milosmum

 

[La Mere]

Fx'd for you, milosmum!

La Mere-I had 1 in last(MMC) cause I had an idea where I was but was curious and it was a 1 minute scan-Heartbeat and CRL and it was over, ended up finding out at scan I was 2 week or so behind. I have decided to do no scans unless proven medically needed. Did you have regular prenatal care/regular DR? I am thinking I am going to have to fight for a lot just with how they were about a dating scan.

Would rather enjoy this pregnancy as long as I can-hopefully till birth but do NOT want to have that black cloud hanging over that something is wrong. Also I do not think it is possible to know the US risks. Xray used to be used and deemed safe and now they won't use it at all to do any xray unless your in life and death. I know that is not a common view among many on board but to me why risk it.

I know you show early with your second but wow! This just came out of no where last night. I had some bloat a couple weeks ago but it went away. My tummy had been flat. I am freakish out there is two in there. Lol

 

[La Mere]

Kittycat155- I am sorry to hear that. With my first I had midwives and regular prenatal care. Attempted a home water birth but was non-emergency transferred to hospital. With my youngest, I actually did everything myself. I did my own prenatal care, my own measurements, I do have a doppler to check the baby's heart beat and once I got into later months of pregnancy, I did my own urinalysis testing (bought test strips from amazon). When it was time to deliver, it was just myself and my husband. I know a lot of people will probably give me some flack about it, but let them. I hope you can enjoy this pregnancy!!

jmandrews- Aw, so cute! I would say that was a bump.. maybe a little bloat, but definitely bump!

 

[GingerPanda]

I think it is every mother's right to approach pregnancy and birth the way they want to. So no judgment here. We're all on our own personal journeys.

 

[babyfeva]

cute little bump jmandrews!

 

[La Mere]

GingerPanda- Thank you! It's always nice to hear someone so open minded and honest! I appreciate it!

 

[GingerPanda]

Jmandrews, wow! Bump already!

 

[jmandrews]

Thanks ladies I'm shocked to see a bump already! I showed early with DD so I guess it makes sense id have a bump sooner this time.

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm jealous! We're at the same point in pregnancy, and I'm just fat.

 

[jmandrews]

I think it's because this is my second.
I've lost 6 lbs the last month. I weigh less than I did before DD. I haven't changed anything but I think it's because I've been busy chasing DD around and this baby is sucking everything out of me. Lol

This is my tummy last week. Huge change!

 

[Kittycat155]

I am very overweight and all these bumps(even bloat ones) I am JEALOUS! I fear I won't get anything till last few months. But for 7 weeks that looks huge!

I really would like to do unassisted pregnancy but I know I am not in position due to my state being one that really is over involved with CPS and scare tactics I would rather go to Dr after talking to few in area. I also have in-laws that will flip when they learn I am pregnant. I feel more then capable to do my own care(I normally test blood sugar due to being large-so far always normal reading, do BP when at the store, urine tests) I do plan to monitor that still now even though I am going to Dr just cause you can not rely on a monthly check.

I love that there are a few on here who are doing UP and have posted that so freely on this site.

Jcliff-good luck on your scan!!

I don't have a scan until March 3! It's so far away!

Mine's not til March 27th, at 12+2...I'm going out of my mind! May have to give in and get an early private scan done, but am holding off at the moment because my symptoms are quite strong. No throwing up yet, but definite nausea, and very big tender boobies, still!
