[sherylb]

Of course now that she got my message about just wanting to put it up she is all sweet about it.

Here are a couple of the scan pics - the first one is the legs.

I do my bump pics on Saturday - I'll post the next one in here.

Oh and there was just a mouse on top of our fridge! I watched it run from behind the fridge to under the stove just now. Gross! I've never seen any sign of mice in here before.

amazing!!!! so are you in 2nd tri now?

dew: Im not sure if temps show anything, I think its just the test. chart looks good to me so far. FX'd omg it would be so amazing for you to get a BFP as it would give me so much hope

sheryl love the baby pics, and sorry your mum really does seem to have a chip on her shoulder about things. hope you can ignore her, I have issues with things my MIL says and even though I try to ignore her its hard.

hi everyone else, going grocery shopping now and then to work out. Work is really slow this month its nice to have a break. have a lovely day

 

[sherylb]

I woke up concerned about the baby and tried to find a Doppler on Craigslist. The baby gave me a little kick while I was reading reviews on it. Feel so much better.

 

[Huggles]

that's great you got kicked sheryl!

Im back! Uneventful 22 week check up...i had a couple questions but not much. Asked about my tummy issues and he says not really sure, but if its like that one more time to call and he would just order ultrasound of gallbladder to make sure its not that. Otherwise indigestion in pregnancy apparently can be super super fricken painful!

Also, they say I have not gained any weight yet so thats weird since ive got this huge belly! Guess its measuring fine though and baby has moved up so he isn't too worried, just says, eat healthy don't try to cut back blah blah blah. I'm sure my gain will start soon so im not too worrid, just really surprised as I expected 10 lbs by now. Oh well!

Sheryl- cute picture of you as a baby!

 

[sherylb]

Is that in reference to your pre-pregnancy weight or did you lose some also like me? I try not to weight myself b/c I get upset when the number goes down. What week did you pop aka baby move up at? From my friend's pics it looks like she did between her 19 and 21 week pics.

NY, uneventful is good during pregnancy, right? Glad baby is doing fine.

Sheryl, yay! For the first kick!

 

[Huggles]

glad the app went well ny.

 

[NDH]

Yay Sheryl for kicking!

Sarah, I have one week to go til I consider myself out of first tri - I'm going with 13 weeks and 27 weeks myself.

This morning the mouse was sitting in or under my cupboards loudly chewing, and not at all concerned wit stopping when I opened the cupboards to investigate and even tapped on the wood between them. Cheeky thing!

 

[babyhopes2323]

yay for kicks sheryl, sorry about your mom ,

Ny, unless they say they have a cause for concern about weight, i dont know if i would be worried,maybe you should ask your ob gyn direct about the same issue. not sure if you visited ob gyn or midwife this time.

hope everyone is doing ok, i will probably pass by the medical centre and give her my past history files in terms of blood tests and ask her questions if i can.

ugh ndh about rats, i would have screamed my head off !!

sarah and dew, i would like to particulary add that i know i dont say a lot about ovulation and fertility tests and stuff like that when i read your posts, but honestly the only reason is because i dont know anything about them, nothing as much as you guys do ! i cant even count the day 1 and day 2 thing proper, i usually mess it up. im not sure about cycles etc because mine have been so varied.

 

[MummyCat]

I still have my parents visiting, so not been online much! I had my 20 week scan on Tues, it went well - but they couldn't get the heart detail they wanted, so I have to go back in 3 weeks for another scan! I'll try post pics soon! It's my Nan's 87th birthday today, so we're off to spend the day with her!

NDH... Congrats on a great scan and fab pictures!!!

What a wonderful day not !!

first off it was the end of my spanish course so we all decided to go for a mexican lunch, most of us had to follow our lecturers car in our own cars as we did not know where the restaurant was located.

on the way to the restaurant, my lecturer decided to cross the yellow light and my classmate infront of me was unsure as to whether she was going to go or not and then decided to stop when the light was flickering yellow in a split second., i was behind her and could not stop my car and rammed right into her. my bonnet is crushed, not so bad but definetely needs work. the back of her car is scratched and needs repair too.

i also got a fine of 200 dhs as here the law states that no matter who was driving and what way the person was driving, the one behind is always at fault for hitting the one at front.

the seatbelt that i was wearing thankgod ( i usually dont wear seatbelts) yanked my bump and i was so worried. went to the lady doc close to my house, bubs is doing alright, but she said as a precaution i should take my progesterone for another week.

this is not the first time and since the last few days ive been very close to having accidents and have had a lot of road problems and this has not happened for a long time. i guess im not going to be driving for a while

anyhow, bubs was measuring 20wk 5 days in todays scan and im 21 + 3 according to clinical measurements. she also assured me that a couple of days to even 2 weeks is not a problem so i am satisfied now. she also said that sometimes the movements are associated with placenta but its not always true !!! she said she has a patient who at 25 weeks + is still not able to feel any movements.

my LO was wiggling and moving her hands and opening her fingers and closing and opening her mouth in the scan so she said not to worry at all about movements. its only around 27 or 28 that you should start counting the number of kicks etc.

hope everybody else has had an eventful day. x

Happy birthday to your gran mummy, and enjoy your stay with your parents. x

You are a sweetheart! Don't you worry about such things, I know in my heart that you all are wishing well for both of me and Sarah

Congrats on 20 week scan! And happy birthday to your Nan Enjoy your time with family

Sorry about your accident Preethi glad you and baby are doing well Be more careful

 

[sarahincanada]

oh no preethi thats horrible! its the same here, if you go into the back of someone its your fault which is crazy the way some people drive. Reminds me: people braking when theres nothing in front of them on the highway is my biggest pet peeve!!! dont they know they can just ease off the gas to go a bit slower!! no-one should brake on the highway unless the car in front of you is braking and you might hit them

did you go to the lady doc that you are thinking of staying with for the rest of your pregnancy? when is your next appointment after this? anyone else got apts coming up? NY glad everything was good with yours.

I go tomorrow for my follicle measurement yay! although not looking forward to the bloods again...she gave me a massive bruise last week, its still there so I can show her and ask her to take blood from the crease of my elbow instead of lower down. It hurt more than usual then I got a massive bruise so I dont think she did a good job. Im excited to see what they say about the follicles though, I need to leave the house around 6 as the apt is 8 right downtown in bad traffic, so will be an early night for me tonight

 

[babyhopes2323]

Thanks Dew

Sarah, this woman is so brilliant, i am definitely thinking of staying with her, but there is a problem, the hospital that she works for where i will deliver, only delivers women after 34 weeks they dont have an NICU for babies so if i suddenly happen to have a premature delivery, she will have to refer me to some government hospital,. that is the biggest issue i am facing where as marcu's hospital has an NICU, but no lactation consultant and the delivery rooms are very small where as this one has a big delivery room and two people are allowed at one time to stay with you and they have a sofa for them to be comfortable, plus she is such a sweetheart, so i am in a fix,

if i leave marcus and happen to have a premature delivery, then i want to be delivered by a doctor i know be it marcus or her, so i dont know for now, thinking of keeping both on hand until delivery or maybe will inform marcus's hospital about distance situation but inform them that if i happen to have a premature delivery then i will need their assistance.

good luck for your appointment tomorrow, cant wait to hear about it, sorry that those bloods hurt you, i hate it when they leave a bruise !!

 

[nypage1981]

Preethi im glad baby is ok. I think about that often when I put my seat belt on that i try to put it under the bump and hope it wouldnt hurt baby if i crashed....scary!

Sheryl- for my weight, I am going by my very first appointment which was at almost 5 weeks so thats my prepregnancy weight too. I weigh the same as then. Oh well. I am not worried. My baby started to move up really early and even at 10 weeks my uterus was much higher than a normal woman so my belly is huge now.

Sarah- cool that you have your follicle measuring tomorrow. Hope its good news. Will it be able to tell if your body is pregnant, or implanting?

Mummy have a fun time with the parents!


Preethi I only see an OB/GYN for all my appointments, and don't care what doctor it is. I dont even really care which doc does my c section that night. It all depends on which of the 10 or whatever are on call or working that night at the hospital, so im not particular.

 

[sherylb]

I know I am still down at least 10. Last week it was 15.
