Thanks so much Preethi. Yes, this time it is going to be every other day except the 2 days in a row when it's most fertile.

Baby's heartbeat is 160 strong. I changed my ticker to match my doctor's EDD. He says he expects the baby to come around November 10th anyway.

Yay sheryl! How come he moved you forward a week? i didn't know they could do that without an ultrasound?

Awesome!

So happy for you Patience pays!!

Thanks preethi You are sweet, im just shy to have a bump pop out so big and so early. This is when I was like 6 monhts pregnant with my daughter so feel like others look at me like I should be further along and it makes me shy!

 

[Dew]

NY: I have heard that bump shows early in second pregnancy for whatever reason...don't think about others so much. To me, in that picture, you look great...you are very slim!

 

[sherylb]

We never discussed dates. I was going by ovulation but it's easier to just go by LMP and not explain why I use a different date every time.

 

[nypage1981]

Oh gotcha. That makes sense. Maybe after you have a scan, then you can go by that date. Mine changed at my first scan so been going by that the whole time....


Thanks dew! I will wear this bump proudly! I've tried to get it for 2 years now so you are right !

 

[sherylb]

I am not sure when I will have a scan. Medicaid only covers 3 so I may not have one until 20 weeks. I will hear the heartbeat every time I go in though. My doctor mentioned wanting to get an ultrasound to confirm dates today but he also said that Medicaid doesn't cover any ultrasounds or sonograms which I have confirmed is wrong. The nurses had already told me 3 were covered and were right. So they are spaced at 20 weeks and two closer to delivery. I think as long as I know the heartbeat is good I am better off waiting.

 

[nypage1981]

I so wish you were close to me...you need to find a friend who works in ultrasound at a hospital where they are sometimes not busy

One suggestion- here in minnesota I found one private place that offers them for 100bucks. Maybe look again in to a private one? just for a peek. I dont think they'd tell you much of anything wrong or whatever, but its a thought.

 

[sherylb]

Oh, I should have written that info down. There is a community college that had a sign posted that they are looking for OB patients for the sonogram program. I will get it on Friday when I go back.

 

[nypage1981]

Thats a great idea! At least you could get a peek at your LO and just see how amazing it is...maybe a pic to share with us too! I wanna see your lime!

 

[sherylb]

I know. Me too. They are having finals this week though and then I bet my cousin will be able to get me free sonograms. She is in nursing school there and next semester is her OB semester.

Sheryl and NY: I like the sound of free U/S

My ultrasound bill was about $700 -transvaginal and transabdominal, insurance covered 90% of it. How much does it cost for others??

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone :wave:

was out of the house early this morning and just got back.

love the new pics: preethi your baby looks gorgeous, and I cant wait to find out team blue or pink. which day exactly are you leaving for your trip and will you have internet when away? It will be so nice for you to get away, relax and have fun with hubby

ny: your bump is so compact and cute! they way you were talking I was expecting much larger and sloppy looking hope your antibiotics work asap

flying: LOVE the bargains, everything looks so cute! cant wait till theres a little bubba in there

sheryl: cant believe your mother would say that, it makes no sense at all. do you usually get on with her or does she come out with things like this a lot??!! and yay for a strong heartbeat, how amazing

I cant remember if there was anything else, I had to scan through pages and pages, thats what happens when you dont come on for 24 hours!!

AFM Im ignoring my temp now thanks for the advice. It was just because that one member had commented on it I was wondering. At least it showed I ovulated which was what I wanted, so I will ignore the temps even around period....as you mention dew they can get hopes up and not drop till later. I having the calmest 2WW ever, loving it.

Normally scans and stuff are all free here as part of our free public health system, but because I prefer to go to a private hospital to get them done (smaller, parking is right by the door rather than 3 blocks away and it's right near work!) it costs me $35NZ (less than 30 in US$) as the general maternity stuff is still free, they only charge the minimal charge for using their ultrasound! Fine by me, it's much easier going there than into the city for the public hospital!!

baby, I'm NOT finding out the gender on 23rd. Or at all until bub is in my arms in October!


ny, I've heard time and time again from other mums that their bump has popped out SOOOO much earlier and bigger than last time, I think the muscles are already stretched and go back to that shape easily from your previous pregnancy! Be PROUD of your bump, you worked hard to get it, and you never know if you'll ever get one again hun! ENJOY it!!! I plan to....



omg sheryl, you're nearly at 12 weeks already!? wow! I can't wait until you can have a scan and you come back here gushing about your lil one! Get pics!!!


And NDH, you're nearing 6 weeks!? YAY! Half way through the first tri girl! Well, nearly... lol!


Don't get me started on me. Again, a couple of days out from when I go up a week I start going 'OMG!?! wtf!? REALLY????' lol! 17 weeks seems like it should be AGES away. heck, 20 weeks, 30 weeks etc is all a loooooooooooong way away. But somehow it sneaks up so fast once it's actually looming within a few days!

Hubby read an article in a science magazine that pregnant women actually LOOSE a significant amount of actual brain matter to the baby. Apparently the brain has particular proteins or whatever that the baby needs and the body actually takes the physical brain matter and passes it down to bub. That'd explain the 'baby-brain' thing; I actually have less brains at the moment! lmao!

 

[nypage1981]

I FEEL like I have less brains lately!

I've just been going through old clothes of Ella's and realized i've got quite a few non gender specific items because for one baby shower we didn't know the sex! This is so exciting to have some pieces of clothing already...especially since after having one, I now how little of clothing you really need when they are new. You wont ever use all of them if you buy a ton because they grow fast and season changes so don't go overboard!

I am trying to do my duties as a sister and give away girl clothes to my sister....but I am finding it hard to part with most of Ella's cutest things. What is wrong with me?

 

[Huggles]

ny, that's a cute bump! And it's definitely not huge at all - it's lovely and neat!

Flying - you are right about the brains. Pg women do indeed lose brain cells, but after the birth, i think it has something to do with early breastfeeding, although i could be mistaken there, new mom's develop new brain connections and stuff at an alarming rate and can therefore land up cleverer than before pregnancy! It's a really interesting topic to research.
