*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

While on the topic of sleep, here's a link to a sleep study that was performed. It basically says women are biologically designed to NEED more sleep then men.

So ladies, with all of us being preggers and all, I must say, time to hit the hay!

I like this news very much! Must tell my husband next time he says I'm always tired!:haha:
 
I have my next ultrasound march 7th. I'll be a day before 8 weeks. I'm not thinking anything will change but I'm hoping. Completely deveststed right now
 
Kyla my friend said her dr tried to schedule a d&c and she opted out and carried a helthy baby.
 
So I was really hoping to get away without having any morning sickness. Well as I was finishing my bagel yesterday I got nauseous, and as I was finishing todays bagel, I had to run to the bathroom. Didnt actually get sick but I really thought I was going to =( Now I just feel like crap and I have to work today.
 
Kyla my friend said her dr tried to schedule a d&c and she opted out and carried a helthy baby.

Why did her doctor want to so that? Did she have an ultrasound that didn't show anything?

She only let me see it quick. But the sac was bigger and I saw something in it. Though I'm not sure what she didn't let me see it long.
 
Sorry to hear. Was worried when you said would not let you look.

When I went in for MMC they did not let husband in but I knew it was over so did not matter much to us at that point. I will be honest I just wanted to get drunk if it was over as I knew I would not do D&C unless really medically needed.
 
I'm not sure if it was due to bleeding or lack of heartbeat? Not sure.

Did they say why yours isn't a 'viable pregnancy'?
 
The guidelines set for what is normal/what is considered not viable sometimes do not go with how baby is growing. I would think often they are right but sometimes baby is just growing to a different standard.
 
The doctor called me. She said at this point they do not think it's a normal pregnancy. She said they could schedule a DnC or have another ultrasound in a week and go from there. I chose the ultrasound but she's not optimistic. :(

OMG what a horrid experience youve had today - why did they say its not looking good, maybe your a bit behind - DEFO have a another scan! and get bloods drawn xx
 
Oh Kylas I am so sorry to hear but I am so so so glad you opted for another ultrasound. You can't be too sure but march 7th is way far away. It would have been nice for them to get you in sooner. Did you get to see pictures at least?

She never said it wasn't viable just that it's an "abnormal" pregnancy. And that they didn't see what they should have seen at that stage. That's all she said and I was too in shock and crying so couldn't really ask her to elaborate.

That is a awful way to leave you. Now your expected to wait for another 2 weeks... I would call them and demand your bloods taken to see if they are going up
 
Kyla--I am so, so sorry. What a horrible experience for you. I'm praying for you to get some peace, rest, and answers.

I'm heading to the doctor at 11:00 to get checked out for some brown discharge and light cramps. I'm really expecting bad news, and at this point I just want an answer.

They could have seen me march 3rd but I only have Tuesdays and every other Friday off work and that was a Monday. No pictures. It's not an OB ultrasound just a regular ultrasound machine so they don't print pictures. The tech barely let me look.

I'm supposed to be working in my mothers daycare today but I'm just upstairs on the couch crying.
 
To me reason to wait so long is so that if there is a baby growing they will see it and know for sure by next ultrasound.

Why don't you call them back and discuss exactly what made them think it is abnormal-if it is just measurements or if they saw something else that indicates issue. Have paper and pen to write it down as emotions make remembering hard.

Good luck :hugs:
 
Kyla, so sorry to hear! :( Definitely a good plan to do the ultrasound because you never know.

I went in at 9:30am today for my first appointment. Things are looking good here which is a sigh of relief. Will be going for an ultrasound as soon as they call to schedule it with me. I will also be doing some more blood work to make sure my levels are rising. My levels as of the blood work I got on Friday was over 40,000 so that's pretty good and on track for 7-8 weeks.
