[WishMeABaby]

Hi ladies I ordered my doppler yesterday but it wont be here until the 29th March to the 3rd April. I'll be almost 12 weeks. I have a scan on 1st April and another scan on the 9th April which will be the dating scan where they check for adnormiltys. I'm going to get them to have a good look at baby at the scan on the 1st April because I'll be 11+6 and I want my mind put at rest so then I wont have to worry so much about the dating scan. Cant believe I have to wait until I'm 13 weeks for the dating scan but happy I'll he having a scan the week b4. So glad I had them 2 privet scans now other wise I wud have had a very long wait.
Hoping the doppler will arrive b4 the Scan and praying I will be able to find the HB.

They class the 2nd tri here from 13 weeks some doctors even class it form 12 weeks so were all so close now ladies.
I'm so nervous about all the screening testing. Hubby isn't nervous one bit. He has Romney gypsy blood in him and he said he know that this baby will be healthy. I wish I cud be more like him and more calmer but I'm a born worrier.

Sickness came back a bit yesterday but it hasn't been to bad today. Boobs are still tender but don't seem as tender as they was.
Anyone else been suffering with insomnia. Like u feel totally drained but have trouble sleeping and then when u do fall asleep u keep waking up?

O.M.G, I wake up every hour everynight ever since I found out Im pregnant. I have this alarm clock that projects to the ceiling and I swear, when I randomly wake up i feel like ive been sleeping for hours only to find out its been no more or no less than a hour. Im so exhausted through out the day. My morning sickness since my 10th week has started has been nothing, but puke. If I'm gagging its coming out I better just make it to the bathroom, But thankful today I've only gagged. - lol - I cant really hold a conversations because then my mouth will start to water up and you know the rest... YAY!!!!!! for ALL DAY morning sickness. woohoo.

Hahaha that's so me. I wake up and think oh it must be morning and I look at the Time and its only like 2am
Ure the exact same stage as me 10+2 thankfully I have not thrown up yet. I have felt very sick to the point of gagging but haven't actually thrown up.
My sickness hasn't been bad at all today and my boobs don't feel as tender so I'm a bit concerned.

Just hope and pray everything is ok in there. Cant wait to start feeling baby move.
All i feel is little bubbles popping that's what it feels like and I think is that baby but I don't think that's possible this early. So I just put it down to gas Haha.

Hi guys, it’s almost like you knew I was lurking...I have been checking in every day and glad to see you are mostly all doing very well. Sending lots of thoughts to myheart. I am sure this will be a nervous week but hope for you that it all turns out ok.

AFM. What a week it has been...finally got seen by the EPU on Monday. They offered me a D and C but the wait would be nearly 3 weeks. So I chose to have medical management. The first dose worked and I was sent home to miscarry. It was a horrible night and absolute agony but I passed my baby on Monday night. I then had another rough day when I passed a lot more clots. Bleeding eased off a bit yesterday but has got really heavy again today. Mentally I feel a bit better now the baby is gone (I know that sounds horrible.) They gave me a sick note for only two days but my GP has extended it until the end of next week so I will see how it goes. I am just super drained at the moment but trying to keep busy with jobs around the house. Follow up at the hospital on Tuesday. Thanks for thinking of me.

I had a mmc and passed baby on my own vs d&c as well and I get what you mean about feeling better.. it was like a closer for me and I’m actually glad I was able to do it that way vs the d&c. Sounds weird but it helped me cope! Praying for you!

I have booked a private scan tomorrow just for their opinion, They are aware of what's happened yesterday, they advised that it might just too early. The sonographer who I am seeing tomorrow used to work at the hospital and set up herself 10 years ago and I've used for all of my children so value her opinion if that makes sense. Hopefully we see a nice bright skull x

Hopefully you’re just early or see what you need to see! We only have like 1 place for private scans but it’s not like how y’all have them I don’t believe. Like ours is for either finding out gender around 15-16 weeks or just seeing baby in 3d during 3rd trimester. I mean I guess you could technically book one for anytime in between those but it’s not cheap around here.

Edit; they also won’t tell you if anything is wrong.

Interesting Brittany here they don’t tell you if anything’s wrong via private scan either. They’re legally not allowed to tell you anything (except gender if you’re far enough along).

I’m sorry for all still dealing with MS. Weirdly for me I’ve had a pretty symptomless pregnancy so far. I had a small bout of MS a couple of days this week, mainly gagging no vomiting. I also spotted throughout with my son but haven’t had that either. Boobs feel ok, I’m only noticing being more exhausted and not being able to do the poopy diapers. Even that I can do if I really focus on not smelling it

I kind of am thinking I wasn’t as bad with my son as I remember, but that I had more time to analyze every twinge. Now I’m so busy with him I feel like I can go the whole day without even thinking of being pregnant.

I am guilty of regularly checking HB with the Doppler though haha. I catch it most of the time - the only times I can’t hear is when my bladder is empty. I always drink a bunch, wait and try again until I can find it.

Maybe this baby will be easier than my son haha

 

[Teanna]

I know i was only thinking about her too @Sander

@Baby_brain hope you are doing ok. Please feel free to keep checking in. I'm still part of the march 2019 due thread. Hope you are keeping well and taking it easy x

Insomnia is killing me the last couple of nights it's 4:20 am here in Ireland and I have been awake since 2:30.. what is up with me

Insominia has been the worst for me too. I usually have no issues with sleep but it's been an ongoing problem lately.

That’s pretty much how this pregnancy has been too! Except I have 2 kids, my husband lost his grandfather unexpectedly at the end of January when we found out I was pregnant and then just this past weekend his great grandfather also passed (grandfathers father) that one was expected though as he was 88 and has been fighting Parkinson’s Disease and some other health issues, and I also work full time at our plumbing company, stay at home/bring my kids to work with me mom, prn X-ray tech and part time photographer! So my life is a bit crazy and that probably has a lot to do with why I didn’t have as many first tri symptoms as I did my other two, but I can bet my third tri symptoms will be KILLER!

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Ok, there's a lot to reply to, so I'll do my best.

Names - As far as I was concerned, our runner up names for DS were Matthew, Auston, and Liam (William). If that's still the case now, I'm leaning towards Matthew Werner (my late father) [second middle name].
For a girl, I've wanted an Emma for literally half my life. SO says he that's that name is old and boring and the closest he'd want to get to that is Emily, but he'd just call her Lee. So, the next time it comes up, I'd counter with Emmalee and then we can both just call her what we want. A far 2nd choice would probably be Leila or Laila. Lynn and Mae are our moms' middle names and I love the name Autumn, but probably not as a first name.
Either way, I'd like for all my kids' names to start with different letters.

Gender - Ya, we're finding out the gender, but probably keeping it as private as possible from friends and family. I have a SneakPeek kit, so I'll probably do that around my 12 week scan.

Chinese Predictor - It predicted boy with the dates for DS and predicted boy again, so I guess we'll see.

Preference - I think SO and I would both really like a girl, but I'm not looking forward to having to fight him over her name. Though we do already have everything for a boy and I'd really like to get a chance to use my dad's name. Plus, SO already asked if I wanted to try for a girl if the 2nd is another boy. So, that's probably my best chance to have 3 kids, which is what I want. Well, ideally 4, but I can settle for 3.

myheart - I'm sure everything is fine. Keeping my FX for you.

Nolimit - That's a great looking scan pic. Congrats!

Baby_brain - Glad to hear that everything went as well as could be expected. Just take the time you need to rest and recover and best wishes to you for next time.

brittany - I feel the same way. Doing it on my own at home was so preferable to some random medical building.

AFM, here's the jist of my scan results drama...
Monday - scan
Tuesday - Called for results, receptionist said they were still unviewed in the email inbox
Wednesday - Called again, different receptionist told me me Dr will be out of the office for a while and her sub is only in on Fridays and she's the only one who can view the results.
So, this is bullshit and one of the many reasons why people hate Drs. Like, if I was super sick and tried to make an appt, would they said I have to wait til Friday? No, they'd have someone else see. Just get another Dr to take a look, tell me the gestational age and what my EDD is. This is not difficult. Fucking idiots!

In other positive news though, I was able to find the HB really quickly last night and it was super strong and fast and we approximated the bpm were about 180. Such a beautiful sound.

 

[Nolimitxox]

I'm so glad you found the heartbeat so quickly!!! I do hate when Dr. Offices play that game, it's such bullcrap!! I hope someone gets back to you sooner over later with the great news

 

[LNWXO]

Hello everyone.
Cor that took me a minute to catch up with the tread. I do love that it’s so active though
Glad everyone is doing ok. I love that everyone is listening to their babies heartbeats! I wish I could do that. Although I don’t think it would be good for my mental health lol.

I agree with the insomnia it’s so frustrating

Afm, the bleeding stopped after my sudden pour at 10 weeks. I have booked a private scan for today because I’m just so paranoid after the bleed. Well more than I already was lol.

 

[xxmyheartxx]

sonographer at the private place is happy with how baby is developing, calcification is happening for the skull, if she saw me today and didn't know what happened on Wednesday she wouldn't get me back for a re scan as baby is how should be, gave me loads of pics and a sneak pic in 4d, oh and dated me 12+2 and I have an anterior placenta as well. Feel so much more calmer now x

 

[xxmyheartxx]

baby pics

 

[Shorty88]

Wow amazing @xxmyheartxx So happy for you.. pics are adorable and the 4d is amazing looks like the baby is snuggled asleep

Scan went well baby measuring 2 days further again! 175bpm and just so cute!!
We are so excited to find out the gender. We know that it will probably be a boy due to my husband not having a girl in the family for over 90 years Xx
