Lost the bleeding probably is from your placenta right? Glad you could hear baby

Thank you everyone for your well wishes on my DS, he's already so spoiled!

Probably not. A foetal echocardiogram last week revealed it's right at the top. I'm waiting for the all clear at the 20 week scan on 20th May.

I rang the midwives and they told me to rest and 'take it easy' - As a single Mother I just laughed at them.

hi ladies

Welcome bubbles!

Congrats borr on your LB ...

Ah c beary Im glad they could tell you what the problem is ...

good luck MissCassie

Lost we cant wait to hear LOL

Ajarvis I also don't feel much movement more rolling than kicking and also not everyday and very random

My DH was in an accident on Saturday but luckily only got away with a scratch on his hand and some back and hip pain. And it my weekend couldn't get any worse my DD fell on her arm while playing with my nephews, but she also luckily didn't break it only bruised it. So my weekend was spent taking care of 2 patients LOL

My DH has a follow-up with the DR today to check how his pain is but he has been feeling much better since yesterday ...

Yikes that's quite the weekend. Silver lining at least they're ok.

I had a massive brown blood bleed today - by far the biggest yet during this pregnancy. I used the doppler and actually felt the movement under the probe.
Although I didn't pick the HB up for long I am reassured. Those kicks and punches were very strong to be felt on the outside.

How reassuring to feel baby. That's what I can't wait for! I remember anxiously waiting with my youngest too after feeling my oldest nice and strong at 17 weeks.

Blessedbaby- glad DH is ok! Hope they both start feeling better soon!

Cbeary sorry you are bleeding but glad you know why now!

MissCassie we are waiting!

Lost the bleeding probably is from your placenta right? Glad you could hear baby

I haven't felt any movement yet. With my DD I felt her at like 20 weeks and this time I have an anterior placenta so I am not expecting to feel anything any time soon

Thank you everyone for your well wishes on my DS, he's already so spoiled!

I'm starting to wonder i I have an anterior placenta as well because being my third I was expecting to feel more sooner!

I hit 12000 steps for the first time in weeks today lol. All because of the walk to the corner store for ice cream haha - that's what we ate for dinner. Totally worth it. My resting heart rate seems to have increased in the last couple days too. Wonder how that's related to baby's growth. Also waiting for anatomy scan next Thursday so this week seems to be crawling! My boys are going to their dads tomorrow so it will go even slower.............

Hi everyone, sorry for my absence. The move went fine but unfortunately we won't have internet access until 2-3 weeks. Apparently there was a misunderstanding so the previous owner's net was cancelled instead of us taking it over So will be using my mobile in the meantime which I hate

Was at my 1st midwife appointment yesterday which went well My uterus is measuring as it should and I got to hear baby's heartbeat for the 1st time which was amazing DH wasn't with me since I found out about the appointment a bit last minute due to our internet issues But he garantees coming to my anatomy scan on May 23rd Next midwife appointment is June 2nd.

I'll do my best to try and catch up with everyone ASAP

 

[Blessedbaby]

Kat Im glad you're ok ... hope you get the internet service sorted out quickly

 

[ClandestineTX]

Agreed, Kat, glad to hear all is well!

No movement here yet But I do have a definite muscular lump starting that I can feel, not showing yet.

@ajarvis, my scan is tomorrow! And it feels like it's never going to be here!

 

[KatO79]

FXed for your scan Clandestine

As for movement I think I do feel something although not 100% sure as it's my 1st pregnancy. But I have heard many 1st time pregnant women first feel movement around 20 weeks.

 

[Blessedbaby]

good luck with your scan Clandestine ...

 

[MissCassie]

My scan got pushed back to this friday...
They called me about 3hrs before the scan to advise me that the sonographer had to go to the hospital apparently.. so 2:30 on friday ia gender scan day! Hopefully bubs behaves and shows the goods.

 

[lady3]

Hi all.

Lost I hope the bleeding has stopped. I had a random day of spotting the other night but all has been well since. I hope it's nothing serious.

Kat glad to see you back! Great you got to hear the baby's heartbeat and that everything looks good. It's such a relief, isn't it?

Ajarvis- hooray for 12000 steps and ice cream for dinner. Your corner shop must be miles away! Mines literally 50 steps away from my front door, so a walk to get ice cream would not give me the same results However, I walk throughout most of my work day from location to location so end up walking over 15000 on my working days (non-working days are a whole other matter!).

Clandestine- I'm feeling a little hard bump too, but it's under my "layer of protection". I definitely have a bump but can still hide it under the right clothes- barely.

MissCassie- Friday is almost here! So hard to have to wait longer. Can't wait to hear what you're having.

I had my detailed scan today and an amnio. I decided to go for the amnio in the end because I need to know at this point. I'm now on bed rest for the next 24 hours and being very lazy! Will have tomorrow off work too, however my kids' school is closed for voting so I'll have them around for a bit until my mil can come take them out. The scan showed the baby still has a a fast heartbeat but there were no other soft markers that caused the doctor concern. I'll find out the results of the amnio on Monday. I'll stay under the care of the high-risk consultant for the time being, so my next scan will be on the 1st of June with him. I'll probably find out the gender then. It just wasn't the right moment to do it today as I was too nervous.

 

[Lost7]

Kat, Glad the move went well although what a headache having to use your mobile phones and your internet being cut off.

Lady3, Thank you. I haven't bled since. It just seems so on and off. I hope to get some closure and answers at my 20 week scan.
I'm glad your detailed scan and amnio went well. Enjoy being lazy. Roll on 1st June for your next scan and I hope you can find out the gender.

Lol. I don't know how I did it since I went for a half hour walk today and am only at 7000 lol. Weird.

Hope you get your amnio results soon. So much waiting in pregnancy.

Agreed, Kat, glad to hear all is well!

@ajarvis, my scan is tomorrow! And it feels like it's never going to be here!

Can't wait to hear your results tomorrow I have a hard lump in there too. Which is a good sign. Just would really like some kicks for reassurance!

My lower abdomen is sore and feels heavy. I don't know if that is too early for that to happen at 18.5 weeks? I feel like if it feels like that now 4 months from now will be brutal. I have a full day zoo trip to take my youngest on tomorrow with his school. Wondering if this was a bad idea

 

[Blessedbaby]

good luck with your amnio results Lady ...

Lost not long until you reveal the gender ...I sure cant wait ...

Last night I had a really hard kick and then nothing after that this morning it just feels like bubbles again ... oh and my boobs has started leaking ... the joys

oh no ajarvis I hope you get some relief ... maybe a belly band?

 

[KatO79]

Lady yes so true! It was great to hear but sad that DH couldn't be there I don't know if at the hospital they'll also let us hear it or if DH will have to wait until June now We'll see. I'm a bit behind so is there any reason you're doing the amnio? Hope it goes well! DH and I didn't need it since our NT scan results were pretty good.

Lost yeah it totally sucks I don't know what went wrong there but guess all we can do is wait. It's made inviting people to my birthday party on the 14th at our new house more challenging as DH had to invite people via his personal email while at work since I can’t log into my own via my mobile for some reason

Btw how many are using maternity clothes? I think I need maternity pants since my own (especially my jeans) are becoming uncomfortable. Been living in my leggings the past few days now. But don't know if it's a bit early to start, especially since it's my 1st pregnancy?

 

[Blessedbaby]

I have basically been wearing maternity clothes since about 8 weeks ... I don't go near to my jeans ...

also been wearing a lot of leggings and tops and some jerseys ..

 

[ClandestineTX]

I work in jeans with hospital scrub shirts, so have been ok there. I haven't been able to wear business trousers since March. So I wore maxi skirts instead. Until the meeting I have next week, the location makes skirts a bad idea. So I bought a pair of maternity trousers and since that took all day to shop for and I had to drive all over town for them, I bought two pairs of jeans also. Still wearing my regular jeans for now, hoping for a few more weeks in then, but ready when the others are needed.

Scan in a few hours!!!

 

[Blessedbaby]

good luck with your scan ...

 

[Lost7]

Two sleeps until the gender reveal, lol. The children are really excited to share the news with you all.

I can't believe that we're nearly half way already. About 10 days left until we're 20 weeks.

 

[lady3]

Kat at my 12 week scan I came back as high risk for trisomy 13. The baby also had a really high heart rate, which is one of the only soft markers at that stage for T13 (and probably what caused me to have the higher risk results). I've been under a specialist consultant since then and had a scan at both 13 weeks and yesterday to check for any other soft markers and to get the amnio to confirm or dismiss the chromosome abnormality.

I'm very happy to report I got my results back today and all is fine!!! Very very happy and relieved. We can finally tell people!!

As for maternity clothes, I'm not in them yet, but definitely wearing my looser fitting jeans and clothes. I think now I know all is ok, I'll start looking for some. Ill definitely be ready for them soon.

Clandestine- best of luck with your scan!

 

[c beary83]

That is such good news lady! Such a relief for you x

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Clandestine good luck with your scan!

Lady glad all came back good!

I have been wearing maternity clothes since like 4 weeks along! First for bloat, now my pants won't close. Just pants mostly. Shirts I like them lose so not a problem there.
