[OPEN] 1st child due late July/August 2011

Hi guys

Well I sent a PM to Turtlebeach, so hopefully she'll get it (I don't know if the default is to receive an email when you get a PM..)

Maybe she'll get several if anyone else sent a message too :)

I am actually looking forward to tomorrow's doctor's appt.. I felt relieved when we had an answer to the pregnancy in the first place, so I could stop worrying and stressing and feeling negative, and now this will feel like the resolution to the miscarriage phase that has lasted too long.. And then finally we'll move on.

hopefully then my DH and I will get away for a few days to relax in the coming weeks..

Sideways have you contacted your doctor and set up any appts yet?
 
Hi Susan :)

Yes, February 22, which should be my 8-week scan. But, they want me to run to the lab tomorrow and give a blood sample to check for...whatever... because of my miscarriage in 2003.
 
Dizny, a video would be cool! Especially since I don't really know much about dopplers.

I just scheduled my gender scan for Feb 22! Can't wait!

Getting my bloodwork retaken tomorrow. GRRR! :growlmad:

I am also getting my anatomy/gender scan the 22nd! It's my 12 year wedding anniversary too!

What do you think your having?
 
This was from when I was 13 weeks. I have noticed the heartbeat is a bit slower now. I will have to upload a more recent one...

Sorry ladies I could not get the video to just imbed in the post...
 
sorry I'm a total geek with numbers - I think Feb 22 is a pretty cool day - it's "Two"sday, the 22nd day of the 2nd month :) (and 2011 - well there's a two in there and 1+1 = 2 hehe)

I like even numbers so I say it's a lucky day :)
 
Aww lol yeah you're right! my appointment is at 1pm, maybe I should move it to 2pm LOL!

Speaking of numbers one of my good friends seems to be stuck to the number 28. Her daughter was born on Dec 28, he husband died the following Mar 28 (so sad :(), his birthday is Oct 14 (half of 28), their anniversary was June 28, she closed on her house on the 28th of some month and her monthly payment amount has "28" in there. Very weird!
 
hi everyone, sorry to be blowing up this forum lol. A new bfp makes one restless :)

I went to the doctor today to get bloodwork done, they are checking beta-hCG and progesterone levels. I guess to confirm the pregnancy. Not sure when I'll hear the results but I am pretty sure everything is ok so far... except now I'm worried about my bath I had last night (thanks rducky and SM! lol jk). I'll diligently test the temperature from now on!

Sideways, I've taken baths from the start of my pregnancy. I got a thermometer and as it turned out, I wasn't making the water too hot. If you don't like a bath where your skin gets all red and you get sweaty, then you're safe. Bathwater also starts cooling instantly so the temperature is not sustained. The warnings are more for hot tubs and saunas because the water is heated and never cools. Don't worry! I really couldn't give up my baths! When it's -30 celsius here, sometimes a bath is the only thing that will warm me up..
 
Hi girls

Sideways - sorry to have scared you a bit - I should have been a bit more descriptive and less daunting but I thought I might catch you before your bath so you could look stuff up..

Well I am pretty well recovered from the medical management - not sure if that's good or not.. The whole process was over in about 8 hours for me - I got cramps, heavy bleeding and passing clots about 4 hours after taking the pills, that lasted for a few hours (was never agonizing either) then everything stopped - no cramps, bleeding became light, only tiny clots..

So now I have to go for an ultrasound to see if it's over or if I'll have to have a D&C anyway... I have to wait for their call to see when I can get in..


But feeling ok. It's sunny here so that's kind-of nice. Hope everyone else is having a good week :)
 
Susan, it's ok, the past couple of days have been rough on me emotionally, I seem to be getting depressed. I don't even want to lay eyes on my DH right now. That's a whole 'nother story.
I did go home and take a bath, this time with a thermometer, and it was about 98 degrees so it wasn't too hot anyway :) yay!

:hugs: for what you're going through. I'm praying for you guys.
 
Hi Sideways

I read your journal - sorry you are having a rough time with your DH.. I hope he can be more supportive of you when you need it in the coming months! Sounds like a bath would be very nice and soothing for you.. Hope you can keep the stress to a minimum..
 
Susan, I'm glad that the worse seems to be over, in a manner of speaking. I hope that the ultrasound shows that everything is ok.

Sideways, I don't know what to say about your DH...I could never give up my kitties. Hopefully this is just an adjustment phase for him. I think it does take a little time to get used to the idea of the wife being pregnant (even though it was obviously planned) for men.
 
How's every one doing? It's quiet in here...

I just got home from another long day at work. Looks like I may be put on preventative leave around March 18th. I'm really hoping that I only have about 5 weeks of work left...
 
5 more weeks? wow. Wish I was that lucky! :) Actually I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't go to work. I imagine I may be saying something a little difference once the baby is here :)
 
thanks rducky for the invite to here! Harlii, I hope you don't mind me joining in here too, even though I'm due mid Oct!! We were all TTC together so even though our EDD differ, it'd still be neat to keep in touch through our pregnancies toooooooo!!!!

It's the weekend here, so I won't call a doctor until next week and go from there... :D

I'm going to have to figure out something for work... I don't know quite what though! I work alone, the business only exists because I groom the dogs. And I'm booked out until nearly April right now, and already have multiple bookings on the week of my EDD too!!! lol.

Talking to other groomers though and many of them have been able to keep grooming right up until birth, as long as they take it easy, cut down to the smaller and easier dogs, and don't over-do it. I'm hoping I can keep working ok, even if it's drastically reduced! I love my clients, and I'd hate for them to be forced to go elsewhere because I'm unable to groom their dogs!! Even if we get someone in to help take some of the load, each groomer has a different style, and people have their preferences [just like in a hairdressers!] so all my clients come to me cos they like how *I* do their dogs... Could be difficult...

But I don't care! haha! I'm young, and I'm PREGNANT! WOOOOOOHHOOOOOO!
 
I just got a call; DH wants picked up at 2:15 (in just under an hour) so no, he has NO IDEA yet! omg!!

And yay for FB! I poked you. lol!
 
poke, what on earth does that mean, lol

I keep forgetting you guys are like 19 hours ahead of us and it's early afternoon there! How are you going to tell him? Come on girl tell us!

My way of telling DH was really dumb actually, lol. He was in bed asleep and I was in the bathroom, waiting on the 10 minutes so I could be sure you know! I woke up him and with sad eyes said, "baby can you please come in here, please" and then I showed it to him. It's really dumb, but, I wanted him to come see and figure it out, instead of me pouncing on the bed with a piece of plastic that had been soaked in pee... lol!
 
lol, on FB I poked you... go look at my profile, and up the top corner will be "poke". It does nothing but let me know that I've been poked by you [or whoever] and gives me the option of poking back. LMAO! I have a poking war with a friend that hasn't ended in a long long time... pointless fun. lol!


And I have NO idea how to break it to him! I was thinking of one way. See, since our blow out the other week, we were talking about how we should do a class or something together, so we have something to go out to each week together. We're both into photography as a hobby so that is our main idea, but I did think of telling him something like "I know another class we can do together..... Antenatal classes!" lol. But then I'm not sure he'd twig, as he KNOWS it's possible I'm pregnant, but he has no idea I was going to test at all so he might just think I mean in general it'll be a good idea, not that I am pregnant and we will be doing them... haha!

I also thought of simply saying "It's only a waste of money if it's negative" and show him the test [he'd have no idea if it was positive of negative unless I told him as I doubt he's ever seen a pregnancy test in his life!] cos he has said it on many an occasion what a waste of money it is for HPT when "you'll know soon enough"

Other than that, I really have no idea....

Though now I'm thinking I should go and find a card or something and put it in that. Something like a card for "the best dad" or something... Pity fathers day isn't until September here! LOL


Ok, I think I'm gonna have to pop in to town and find a card! LOL! I only have 20 mins before I pick him up... will let you know!!!
