Well aside from the baby hammock im making payments on we made our first official purchase today! Or should I say hubby did! He went shopping on his own cos his work had a good sale on. He got a couple of double ups cos hes hoping for twins again (hes crazy lol)
But I think he actually did really well.

Sorry to hear about your appointment, Radiance. I wasn't allowed to know my HCG levels either. 3 weeks sucks too!

Congrats hopettc! I don't have any experience of a retroverted uterus but hopefully one of the girls here does.

6 weeks today! Feels like a tiny little milestone! I still don't even have a scheduled appointment and won't have a scan until 12 weeks but hopefully I'm half way there! This is my first and I'm feeling pretty impatient! It's great to see all your beautiful scans though, such a special time!

In terms of symptoms I've just got very sore bbs. No weird dreams - in fact they are becoming more dull! I don't have any bump yet.

Laelani - sorry to hear about your aunt. Thinking of you.

Zephyr - those clothes are so cute! I bet it makes it feel real!

Hope everyone else is feeling alright and look forward to seeing more pics of scans and bumps while I'm waiting for mine!

I went in for my ultrasound on monday and it went great! I have one lovely little bean and we even got to see the tiny flutter of the hearbeat. My oldest dd was absolutely amazed. She asks me all the time how big the baby is.
When I went in for the scan, I drank all that water like you're supposed to. As soon as she started the scan, she says "oh, you have a retroverted uterus so we'll have to let you pee and then do a transvaginal". I was like what the heck is a retroverted uterus! And I just drank all that water for nothing!! Anyone have experience with a retroverted uterus? I didn't have one with my girls.

I have a tilted uterus too. It's nothing to worry about. It can genetics, or previous pregnancies that cause it. It means nothing really.

Ps it usually corrects itself about 12 weeks. By which time, lots if woman haven't even been scanned by then, so it's probably even more common than they say.

I have a tilted uterus, it never caused any problems besides my sciatic acting up early on (already hurts now)! Also when I was giving birth to my daughter she was posterior and wouldn't move! Making labor back pain unbearable!! Dr said I could have been from my tilted uterus but not a guarantee!

Had my US today at 8+1.
Everything looked perfect! saw baby's little heart flickering away... feels like another milestone, no longer have to have internals which is great.. I'm feeling soooo happy

1st midwife appt booked for 2moro, no more US until 12 weeks now which will be booked at tomorrow's appointment.

 

[whigfield]

Bleeeuurrgh I feel so sick and nothing's helping WAH

 

[cntrygrl]

I was going to do the old fashioned gender test. The one with the cabbage and the other with baking soda, but now that it's twins not sure what results I'd get. We have another ultrasound first thing tomorrow morning hoping to see two little hearts flickering.

I have a scan tomorrow too ladies. I'm pretty worried and scared. Trying to stay positive though! 6 weeks today or tomorrow. A little unsure of my dates. Hoping for the best.

 

[jmandrews]

Happy 6 weeks loopy Laura!!!! 3 weeks will fly by. I've had to wait 6 now I have 2 weeks 6 days until my scan... Hehe let the count down begin!!!

Yay Zebadi!!!! Post a pic if you can! so excited for you!

Fingers Crossed! I'm sure everything will be great. Once you see your little bean all those worries will go away.

 

[jmandrews]

Anyone heard from GingerPanda? I've been thinking about her a lot. Hope she is ok.

 

[milosmum]

Sounds like everyone is doing well, lots of lovely scan pictures x

Still very mixed news for me. I had my second ultrasound yesterday and when I was supposed to be 7+4. The gestational sac in my uterus has doubled in size since last week and there is now a tiny fetal pole present but no heartbeat yet. They say its too early for a heartbeat as I am only measuring 5 weeks 5 days from their scans and so they want me back to scan me again next week. They reckon I ovulated much later than I think I did but I was doing ovulation tests and got a nice positive then they went negative again and also if I am 2 weeks behind then I got my positive pregnancy test the day after they think I ovulated! I know this pregnancy should be bigger than it is and have a heart beat by now so I have kind of lost hope for this bean.

Anyway another week of limbo, insomnia and nausea (think the insomnia and nausea are from stress rather than pregnancy!) Praying we know one way or the other next week - I can't take much more waiting.

Aw Zebadi, so happy for you. I have my 8week scan on Friday and I can not wait the anticipation is going to kill me lol between tomorrow and Friday were going to have a lot of scan updates. Yay so exciting.

Lol @ zephyr, how sweet of your dh. Anytime I mention buying something to my dh he says "we don't even know what it is!!!" So looks like I'm going to be waiting a while yet unless I get things neutral but dh doesn't want to jinx it.

I'm having issues getting my first appointment with an obstetrician??? The nurse said she will call me back on Wednesday with more information because my re isn't releasing me until Tuesday but the way she is making it should is like they don't want me as a patient?? They aren't my regular gyn, I was referred to a different obstetrician because of my cervix issues and the nurse was all like well why can't you see your gyn he is an obgyn and I was all like idk ask so and so I was told to call and make an appointment. She had my records so obviously I was supposed to be calling???? Nurses sometimes I swear they think they run the show. I'll give her until Wednesday but if she doesn't tell me what I wanna hear I'm gonna have to call the referring doc and give a hassle.
