I rescheduled my scan for exactly 8 weeks (march 8th) I knew it may be too early to find a hb and also I really want OH by my side at least for the first one.

So glad your oh can come with you honey.

You will feel better with him by your side.

Good mornng ladies, I had my scan today I am measuring at 8 now actually a day ahead from their calculations everything went well and the re released me to my obgyn. I don't have an appt with them until mar3rd. Dh and I decided that we will announce our pregnancy after that appointment just to make sure everything is good. I've attached the scan pic. The us tech said everything was perfect she even pointed out the arm and legs buds but said baby was facing us so it was harder to keep it on the screen and she showed me the brain. Hb was 178 bpm but no sound again she said its not safe at this stage. It was very cool. Pic is attached

Great scan pic lovely

oh yes, definitely. and he seemed more comfortable with me not going by myself. he doesn't like me taking cabs the cab drivers around here try to cheat you out of money.

I noticed your sig and I bet you are pumped for your 8 week scan.

I just scheduled my first ultrasound for April 7. I will be 12 weeks 1 day. It seems soooooo far away.

Yay for another beautiful scan pic and healthy growing baby! That's wonderful news! why is the sound now safe?

The way she explained it was that the machine has the ability to hear it but they at there practice will not use it bc they are perfectly fine confirming with the flicker and seeing the waves thing something about the heart valves at that stage. I was alittle upset I was looking forward to hearing it but I didn't push it. Maybe bc it was a transvaginal scan???

Lost 2 things I was going to return and so upset. Rationally shit happens but I am just about to cry. it was not even that much. Think I had it hanging and on garbage day thought it was trash or we started to use it as trash. Just something stupid like that makes me think "and I am going to be a mother?"

On bright note did 3 sugar readings today12 hour fast, 1 hour after breakfast and 2 hours after. all 3 are great readings. Need to buy more strips tomorrow to get few more readings in. And then monitor few times a week during rest of pregnancy.

 

[sprite30]

Ugh I hate when I lose things, but even worst is when you find it and it's in the stupidest place and you think "now why the heck would I have put that there"

No worries about crying I was crying on and off all morning for no good reason. When a sad song came on the radio or the tv show I was watching had a sad ending...that's one pregnancy symptom I can do without.

I'm sure you'll be a great mother, the baby will cry when it needs something it'll be hard to forget lol

The pain that brought me to the ER on Sunday is back. I am in excruciating amounts of pain. This time it's not my whole arm but from the middle of my forearms all the way down to my ring fingers. Thankfully no cramping this time or leg pain. Only thing I can take is Tylenol and it is not helping. I just want to cry :'(

 

[Kittycat155]

Sorry to hear it came back Are they concerned at all or they feel they ruled out anything that could be wrong? Have you tried to get 2nd opinion on it?

Yeah it is just that oh crap moment of what I have done. Would have been nice to have few bucks to buy something vs knowing I sent food to the trash! Jeez would have given it for free to a neighbor had I knew this would happen.

Yeah I am known to do that. I KNEW I had a credit card in house and I knew I had moved it "safe spot" yet no idea what safe spot was. I looked for a week then finally me and husband started from kitchen then hit living room which was the last spot I remember having it-I had put it in the cookie jar I display only. It is a jar from the 70's that we used growing up. I just looked at him like do you know how many times I checked the shelf it was on???

Debating lunch options. Will be dinner time soon so probably should get anything at this point!

9 weeks this Sunday. Last night my MS started getting much worse and I've had it throughout the whole night, gagging every 10 minutes. Today I am actually vomiting. I tried eating some crackers and drinking ginger ale and they came right back up. I tried taking a B6 but I don't think it was in my system long enough before I threw it up. Just took a Zofran, hoping I don't throw up before it kicks in! Tomorrow is my nieces 7th birthday party at the bowling alley, 2 hours away, hoping I can get this under control! I went and bought Sea Bands last week and they don't work at all for me, which is a shame Hoping to get some sleep sometime today, got maybe 2 hours throughout the whole night because of my MS. Eep!!

Update: well I have a severe tilted uterus so it was hard for tech to see but she did take a few measurements that were between 6w6d-7w2d, and we heard and saw heartbeat of 160bpm! I think I am right on track now! Next apt in 2-3 weeks!

That's so bad about the cab drivers trying to cheat people out if money!

Thanks. I don't even know who I would go to get a second opinion. I'll definitely ask my OB, but I don't see her for two weeks since they changed my appointment from this coming Monday to two weeks from today. I wonder if it's maybe something to do with reduced salt since I've been trying to cut back as I'm a salt FIEND! I had some salty ritz crackers and now the pain is a lot less. I'm also wondering if it was too much vitamin d? I didn't know my prenatals had 1000 d3 and ie as taking 2000 d3 as I did before the prenatals. But then when people are vitamin d deficient they give them like 30000 for a couple of weeks so I doubt it would be that.

I just want it to go away

Maybe call ob to let her know the pain that sent you to er last time is back and see if they can move you up. You may be on to something with the salt as anything your body is used to and taking it away could give you some side affects.

That's the only thing I could find that's been different. I called the OB before I went to the ER and the OB on call keeps saying she didn't know what to tell me and the pain and the pregnancy aren't related. Hence why I didn't go to that hospitals ER. They would have called her in and she's as no help.

I am exhausted! I've been cleaning and picking up my house all day. My DD has been into everything making it impossible to keep this house picked up so that I could clean. I got a lot done during her nap but I still need to dust and organize/ put away a few more things plus clean the bathrooms. This house is far to big for me to get this all done by myself. I have 3 friends coming to visit tomorrow. They are coming to see my new house. So I'm trying to finish before they come. I hope DH helps me when he gets home from work because DD needs my attention.
