October Rainbow Babies!!!

[Tweak0605]

Aww cute pic Beth!! I'm sorry baby wasn't cooperating though!

Good luck tomorrow Hope!

 

[beth30]

It will be my 5th scan in 3 months! I bet my insurance is ready to kick me to the curb! LOL! I said that the baby was acting like me because I am stubborn and I only do what I want! LoL!

Pretty ladies, how are we? Was just wondering if you guys have had your NT scan and bloods yet? If so, do you have any idea your PAPP-A and free B-hCG results? Got mine today and scan isn't till Monday so I'm obsessing (of course)

 

[Emerald87]

Had my NT scan today. Baby would not cooperate, so I have to go back monday for another try. Posting a sucking thumb scan pic below. The pictures they gave me were kinda blurred and fuzzy...??? They have me down for 13 weeks 3 days instead of 12 weeks 4 days... anyone know why?? I know that 12 weeks is right because the specialist and I have talked about it....

i had mine done last week but not had the results yet. what were yours?

 

[Emerald87]

PAPP-A was 5.2 and free beta HCG was 50. Those aren't in MoM though, I think they're in IU/mL. I don't have reference ranges to compare to. Ugh.
From what I've gathered on some forums (few and far between) those seem like pretty normal values but of course, forums aren't reliable and I don't even know my exact units. *sigh*

 

[bumpyplease]

actually im not sure i will even get those results, i just had a scan and blood test and i get a risk rating. maybe the test you had in australia we dont have over here?

im sure they would have told you if you had something to worry about, so your results sound good to me x

 

[Emerald87]

Yeh they usually just give you a risk score but I was curious so I asked for my results. I'm a med student and like to know each individual result lol. Then I stupidly read into too much and spend hours reading about it. Suppose I'll just have to wait until Monday *sigh*

 

[Islander]

Im having mine done on monday.

 

[beth30]

I know I am probably getting annoying with these bump pics, but I like to see the difference from week to week, so I post them here. Anyone else growing quickly?

 

[Tweak0605]

Awwww!! Definitely not annoying!!! I love bump pics, and you look great!!

I'll take mine tonight, and post a collage of 10-14! Hoping to see a difference!!

 

[beth30]

yes yes! I for sure want to see!

Nope, sadly I don't have a love bump. Well, much of one. A small podge sprouted around week 10-11 but hasn't changed externally. I can feel a massive internal change though, especially when I sleep on my belly. There's a big, rock hard ball I'm now laying on lol. Comforting that something is happening.

 

[beth30]

LoL! don't fret, with DS, I didn't show until he was hanging halfway out of me just before I had him! LOL! But Doc said since I have been pregnant so many times, my stuff is already stretched out and that is why my bump has sprouted out. my friend is 3-4 weeks ahead of me, and she still wears her jeans and everything with no problem, I almost immediatly had to try to find things to wear because my jeans wouldn't even come close to buttoning... now I am in maternity for days out and about, and in pj's and stretchy things at home...

 

[Wilfbown]

My bump is growing nicely too Beth...everyone is different. My friend who is 20 something weeks looks less PG than me!
I'll be 14 weeks on Monday and it will also be the due date of my angel baby. Don't know how I'll feel. This EDD is exactly 6 months after my first one.
I had another scan on Wed, measuring 13 +4 so 2 days ahead. They couldn't get the NT measurements either Beth so I'm just having the blood test this week with the midwife. Next scan is in 7 weeks unless I book in for a private gender scan at 17 wks, so I've ordered a doppler to keep me sane!!
Has anyone's sickness returned? Mine went at 10 weeks but came back this week. Can barely keep food down.
How is everyone? Congrats on all the great scans xxx

 

[beth30]

They will try again Monday for the NT scan. I have come and go morning sickness. And I use my doppler every other day, or if I feel I need to. It does keep me from flipping out over every little thing.

 

[Emerald87]

Are you guys cramping? I'm cramping. I think a lot is toilet issues but there is some actual crampage going on in there too.

 

[lindblum]

I'm cramping loads too. It's normal, just your uterus growing/stretching. It lasts throughout pregnancy x

 

[Wilfbown]

I wouldn't say I'm crampinh, it's more a heavy pressure, stretchy feeling. It's normal. Had cramps at 10 weeks though xx

 

[beth30]

I was just seaching the second tri forum for cramping! Yes, RLP I am guessing, but I've had it from about noon yesterday-all night last night, and still having it. It isn't unbearable, but it is annoying, and makes me worry a bit just because of my history. Atleast I have my scan tomorrow to really get in there and see what is going on.
