Sorry it is not better news regarding the numbers.

Bloodwork not good. 5400 on Friday and 5800 yesterday. Considering it was 3100 a month ago. Not good. I also learned I have rh- blood. So that's not good either. Gonna have an ultrasound at the OB Friday, but I'm 99% sure it's over.

So so sorry!

Sorry for your loss Sunflower.

Cute announcement Mac.

Sorry about the numbers Kyla. Glad you got some answers and is no longer in limbo land. Take care of yourself.

I was able to find baby's HB on the doppler over the weekend. I've put it away til this weekend again. Not going to go nuts over it and try all the time.

We have told my parents and only my one sister and hubby's mom so far. And my BFF. We won't be sharing the news til later. Def after 1st trimester. Maybe around 14/15 weeks. Around Easter time most likely. With DS, we waited til 16/17 weeks. I loved our FB announcement with DS - It was around Christmas time so we incorporated that - it's going to be hard to top it this time but I am sure I will figure something cute out again! Maybe something Easter related this time!

The doppler came today but I didn't manage to find a heartbeat. Disappointed, but will keep trying

It takes patience when you first try. For me it was just at the very bottom of the abdominal area. As soon as I find it, baby moves off!

Mamamac-oh poor you! How do you manage such long hours? Hope yor not working too hard honey

Any of you ladies from Australia?

I'm not in Australia im in NZ but my family is in Darwin and surfers

well the inlaws know our news now!!! Which isnt so bad I guess however they asked me in front of my kids and I had to talk my way out of it as the kids dont know yet either!!
After our miscarriage before we had our twins I became very paranoid about breaking news to them.

apparently someone asked them how my pregnancy was going and when they said what pregnancy ?
All the person could say was uh oh..... lol a conversation I would of loved to have seen.

Oh well, a bit annoyed we didnt get to do the announcing. I told hubby to be careful who he told but hes told so many people grr oh well.

the inlaws are excited which is strange cos I honestly thought theyd be the first to judge us but the mil was squealing on the phone when hubby confirmed it haha

I'm glad we already had a scan because all I heard was "you know your chances of twins are alot higher now" twin this and twin that and I was able to stop that before it got crazy by telling them there's only one. My goodness that would of gone on for weeks.

Thank you for this I tried again after watching a couple of youtube demos, and I went higher up and pressed harder, and I got something in roughly the right place that might have been LO. It was quite faint but sounded quite like the 'train' noise you're supposed to hear, and the bpm climbed really rapidly up to 150+ but I kept losing it before it could plateau to a steady reading. Hopefully it was LO just swimming all over the place, and it'll get easier with practice and LO growing bigger.

The weather here today was gorgeous! 60 degrees. Went out with my sister for Pizza (YUM). and did some shopping. Got home and put my Lo down for a nap, i heard a weird noise on the monitor and realized the poor thing had thrown up all in her crib, and in her hair!! So i gave her a bath and then about 45 minutes later she had a blow out of diarrhea! I think she has a stomach bug. My poor thing. I hate when she is sick! She wont eat anything, but I have been getting her to drink water most of the day. She is sleeping again now. Ugh, its so hard when your sweet baby is sick!! But on a higher note, I feel great today. Not much nausea nor headache!

Mamamac-oh poor you! How do you manage such long hours? Hope yor not working too hard honey

It's not terrible normally. I work as a nanny so it's basically just being stay at home mom for 12 hours. It can be hectic but a lot of the time it's just sitting with kids playing barbie haha not to strenuous.

 

[GeralynB]

Jcliff - just realized your in NY too...I live in Long Island. Sorry LO isn't feeling well...hopefully she's better soon

 

[MamaMac123]

Err I'm so annoyed right now. I had a bit of brown spotting again this afternoon. Not wanting to overreact and run to the hospital again like last time I decided to call my midwives and ask them what they thought. I left a message and finally they got back to me hours later only to tell me "sorry we can't even comment legally because you're lot officially a client until after your first visit"

What the freak is up with that!? You've got a worried pregnant lady and you have no comment? I'm so annoyed. So now I will probably be going to the hospital tonight like a paranoid freak because I have no other options! The spotting has gone away again for now so maybe I'll wait it out and see if it comes back. No cramping or anything so hopefully it's nothing. Ugh I hate feeling so paranoid! I think it's so absurd doctors and midwives don't see you till you're so far along. Now is when crap is most likely to happen and now is when you need the reassurance. Errrrrrrrrrr sorry just venting

I was a nanny up until my third trimester with my DD last year. I was working 12 hours a day m-f for a very successful family. It was so tiring! Two boys. 5 months and 3 years old. The oldest boy was diagnosed with autism my last month and he started to get really violent. Kicked me in my stomach one day that knocked the air out of me while I was 20 weeks pregnant. Needless to say I quit the next day! It was time anyway, I was too exhausted to work that many hours and be pregnant.

Legally I get where they are coming from. They could get sued if you do not go to er and something happens.

I personally had spotting from 3-10 weeks. Sometimes brown sometimes red. I did not go to ER as in my mind nothing they can do. Well very few things they can do(low progesterone being the main)

Will they at least let you in on an earlier appointment? Can you private pay them one appointment to get in?

that really sucks try not to worry though spotting is very common in twin pregnancys.
During my twin pregnancy I spotted twice and got a scan the first time it happened which confirmed both were doing just fine. Good luck at the hospital if you decide to go.
