Yay for good scans! I totally relate to the all the gas, ladies. My goodness. This is just ridiculous! I have an appointment tomorrow. Doc is going to try to find the heartbeat on the doppler. I can't wait to hear it!

My scan went great sonographer was a right grump though and pics are ok but my 10 week scan was clearer! Measuring 12+1 bubba was asleep sucking it's thumb at first - so cute and then she asked me to have a shake which woke it up and started moving loads!

Tweak looking forward to news of your scan xx

Bumpy that's awesome news!!!! How sweet your LO was sucking it's thumb!!

My scan went absolutely wonderful!! Measuring 13w2d, with a heart beat around 160! Baby had his/her hands up by their face the whole time and had the hiccups. It was absolutely amazing!

Kinda dark and hard to see, but you can make out the hands up by the face!

Just wanted to update: saw the genetic counceler today and that was pointles, she asked if I was in the medical field because I seemed to know so much! Didn't learn anything new but did get my karyotype testing done today!! She said it'll be 3-4 weeks before it gets back so I'm hoping something will turn up, we may need to go back for more testing but she's going to check with my doc and see what I've been tested for in their office before she schedules anything. She also adviced against an RE because we don't have any issues with getting pregnant and said that it may actually hender our chances since there's a lot of stress involved. She also advised against PGD because it's not a gaurantee and because if we have a gentic disorder and the embryo shows that it does not have that disorder then it could still have something wrong (trisomy or another defect) and I could still miscarry...so basically it's down to do we want to spend 20-30k on PGD only to potetially m/c or do we want to try on our on for free. THat feels like a no-brainer to me...We are only testing me at this point but if mine come back with nothing then we'll be testing DH too. She seemed really nice and we both like her, so now to just sit back and wait on testing results...hope I get my results on my D and soon too! Good luck you guys and I will update again when I have the results from my d and c and then when I get the results from today's testing!! Hope everyone is doing well! Congrats again on those good scans girlies!!

Tweak - I could have posted that same ultrasound pic!! When I was preggo with DD she had her hand in the exact same spot course she was laying with her head to the opposite side! I told DH that if it was a boy he was a little drama queen lol!! Luckily it was a girl and she is such a drama queen she always had her little hands to her face...that pic brought back some wonderfull memories for me...thank you!!

Wooo 5 days till my 1st scan !!!!, I cant wait, its taken far too long !!!

Hope everything goes ok !!

 

[Tweak0605]

Charmer, so good to hear from you. I'm sorry the genetic counselor was pointless. I hope you can get your test results back soon so you can see what's going on. I'm glad I could bring back some wonderful memories for you

Charmer-the RE that I was seeing, not only specialized in getting people pregnant, he also specialized in working with ladies dealing with RPL.

SOOOO, went to my regular OBGYN appt today, and it was fine.... he said everything seems to me on track and they'll call me tomorrow or tuesday with an ultrasound appt for next week.

 

[3xscharmer]

Got the call this am from my doc and they weren't able to do the testing from my d and c. I am sooo happy that I got the karyotype yesterday! I am also slightly relieved, I know it's crazy but while my ins will cover the maternal fetal specialist, we may be paying for testing out of pocket and hopefully they wont charge us too much since they weren't able to test the baby and we can put all our saved money towards testing me and DH. Kinda upset too though because I was really hoping for some results!

 

[beth30]

Hey ladies, how is everyone this weekend?? I'm starting to get aches and I know why, my belly has grown since monday... I'll post the pictures later.

 

[Emerald87]

Pretty good. How about you Beth? I have a killer headache. It usually goes away with sleep but sadly it lasted the entire night this time.

 

[beth30]

Ew! I hate headaches! I get them too... I am doing good. Just having round ligament pain I guess.... here is the picture comparison which would explain why I am having some discomfort..first is 11 weeks 1 day-second is 11 weeks 6 days... there is definitely some growth there!

 

[Emerald87]

That's a gorgeous bump you're sprouting there!!!!

 

[cazi77]

lovely bump Beth. I think I might be getting a little one will post pics later xx

 

[bumpyplease]

Funny you should say about pains Beth I have felt a bit off last couple of days, tummy ache, back ache, stretching and cramping pains also had a bit of an upset stomach. Your bump is definitely growing looks fab!! Happy 12 weeks!

Happy 13 weeks Cazi 2nd tri whoohooo!!! can't wait to see a bump shot!! My tummy still pretty flat in mornings but I look about 6 months preg by evening so must still be a bit of bloat will post a pic soon though when my morning tummy a little bigger!

 

[rm16]

Just wanted to say happy Easter everyone xxx

 

[Meaggers]

Beth your bump looks fabulous! I can't believe how quick it grew in such little time. Mine has grown too. I feel like it grows a little more every day lol!! Happy 12 weeks!

Happy 13 weeks Cazi!

AFM: I can tell I'm in the second trimester. My appetite has increased, my nausea decreased, and somtimes (besides feeling huge already) I forget I'm even pregnant. I have, however, had a lot of tiredness, ligament pains and back pains- usually in the evenings when I'm pooped from the long day.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Holiday!!

 

[beth30]

Thanks ladies! I am glad everyone is doing well. I am not having as much morning sickness, I am wayyyy hungrier, and I didn't think that was possible. Having a bit of trouble sleeping now days.... I remember it got bad with DS near the end, and if it is already starting this early I may be in for a rough few months, especially with DS to run after! LOL!
