Yay for hearing heartbeat Mrs R.
Glad all was well Mowat.
Got everything crossed for you Hope.
Dairy, glad you are feeling better, hope you are back soon.
Squig, I think I was about 19/20 weeks when I first felt Zoe, felt like spiders walking in my belly.
Happy 2nd tri dsemcho.

Hi to everyone else xx

 

[DSemcho]

does that mean the quad results are good dsemcho?

when is your first scan hope?

I hadn't gotten them yet then. But they were good 1:1890 for downs and 1:87000 for trisomy 13/18 Cystic Fibrosis wasn't back yet, but every test so far has been okay. Also I got to schedule my gender ultrasound for 23 March

 

[Hope39]

Scan is a week today hopeful x

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Hope, stay positive. I know how it feels to almost try to ignore the fact that you're pregnant and not talk about it much for fear of jinxing it or something.

Dairy, I really hope you get pregnant really quick again!!

Mowat, glad all is well. Your babies will be adorable!!

DSemcho, so glad all the quad screening tests are coming back wonderful!!! How exciting you have your gender ultrasound on the 23rd of March!!! Not too far away!!!

Ab, hello!! How are you doing?

AFM: Last night I had a spell where I thought I was going to throw up, but didn't. I get those every now and then, but haven't actually gotten sick. I'm 9 weeks 2 days today, so hoping it won't get any worse and then by 12 weeks or so I'll start feeling better. It's really been pretty easy as far as that goes so far. Knock on wood!! My uterus feels full and I get some pulling pains when I roll over in bed sometimes if I stretch my belly. Also I've sneezed a couple times and get a quick pain. Thinking it may be the start of round ligament pain possibly? Or just my uterus growing. Other than that, my bbs are still sore, but don't seem quite as sore as they were a couple weeks ago. I can take my bra off without it taking my breath away. LOL!! I'm still tired and can fall asleep on the couch way to easy!! My next scan is the 19th. I'll be 11 1/2 weeks at that point. I'm anxious and just praying everything looks good and baby is measuring good. After that if all looks great, we may announce it. We'll see.

 

[Squig34]

Good news on your results, D.

Looking forward to your scan, Hope. Thanks for the advice re placenta position in my notes. I can't find anything, but maybe they only record it here at 20 weeks or something.

 

[Hope39]

Mrs R – me trying to forget the fact I am pregnant has nothing to do with me thinking I am going to jinx it, I didn’t mean for my post to read like that. I’m way beyond jinxing thoughts now after 7 losses.

I’ve been here 7 times already so I just forget about it till (or try) I have a scan and then I will carry on trying to forgetting about it because a good scan one week doesn’t mean a lot to me as it can all go so terribly wrong by the next week. Once I get to 12w I will start thinking about it because I will then only have another 12w to sort my life/business/baby stuff out before I go to the hospital for a 12w stay there. That’s actually scary writing that, ive got 20w left 

Lots of good scans with this pregnancy will mean nothing because I lost Isaac at 27w, I’m at more risk of another abruption

Squig – I cant remember if it was my 16 or 20w scan that told me.

I’ve forgotten everything else I’ve read now, sorry x

Squig-the technician told me at my 20 week anatomy scan with LO that my placenta was anterior. I didn't have 'official' scans between 7 and 20 weeks though, just a quick one in the office to verify she still had a hb at my appts and the dr wasn't looking for placenta placement, so I didn't have any opportunity to find out before then.

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Hope, I didn't mean to offend you if I did. I meant that I think that way and understand how you feel when you say you try not to think about it. Sorry if I said it in a bad way.

 

[Radiance]

TWO things!! I would love your opinions!! Some of you are major experts!!

1. Today I clearly saw baby AND heartbeat!! Yes, a big big day over here

2. So I got all my results from January 20th and January 29th.

January 20th: My platelet count was 380, excellent! I was also about 3ish weeks pregnant at that time and had started on baby aspirin the day before.

January 29th: My platelet count was 200. In normal range of 150-400 but not a great number.

That's a huge difference in 9 days! Now a few concerns. I've hemorrhaged 3 times during/after birth, 2 really badly. Low platelet can cause clotting or bleeding too much.

I am also wondering if I do have a undetected blood clotting disorder now!! We've done those tests 3 times and they have been normal but these test are showing during pregnancy that my platelets aren't performing the way they should be?

 

[DSemcho]

Yup MrsR only 6 1/2 weeks away!! And I have an appointment two weeks before and two weeks after that lol. For some reason I'm being seen every 4 weeks.

Also I wouldn't say that at 12 weeks you start feeling better. I'm super nauseous anytime I wake up from sleeping and I'm almost 14 weeks. Like right now my nausea just kicked in lol.


Radiance - congrats in the HB!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!


With the placenta talk I found it at 10 weeks where mine was, but they used some kinda fancy word that meant directly in the middle.

 

[Hope39]

Its ok Mrs R, you didn't offend me as such. i get upset easily when people say i know how it feels lah lah lah i just think no you don't. I don't mean that personally to you, just in general it gets said a lot and i might be wrong but i don't think those 'said' people do know how it really feels

I'm on the steroids which just make me grumpy too

Its no problem, sorry if i sounded offish when i replied xxxx

I need to catch up properly with everyone, feel out the loop and can't remember a lot xx

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Radiance, I'm glad your scan went well!! I'm not real familar with having platlet levels checked, so I can't give you much advice on it.

DSemcho, I'm hoping I will feel better in the 2nd trimester, but I know my friend said it was her worst trimester for how she felt. But hoping I'll get lucky, we'll see!!

Hope, I did not mean I know how you feel. Your situation is horrible and I can't imagine going through what you have gone through. I just meant I can relate to trying to "forget" your pregnant at times to protect yourself from the possible hurt. That's all I meant. Sorry.

 

[Hope39]

It's fine Mrs R , no need to apologise hun x

 

[Radiance]

I don't know much about it either. I do know if it's lower/low it can cause too much bleeding and clots so I definitely found that interesting based on my history. I'm going to make another trip and get my results from during Elena's pregnancy, when she passed (they checked before starting induction), after birth, and when I hemorrhage. Might reveal something. Thanks everyone Sorry I haven't been too supportive on my side.
I've shared and ran. I'm having severe sickness, I've cried about it two nights in a row. Looking like an ER trip soon. Thinking of you all

 

[DSemcho]

Idk Mrs. R I'm noticing I feel better. Except sometimes in the afternoon I feel like poo lol. Last night I felt good but couldn't eat much.

 

[dairymomma]

Radiance- Hang in there hon. Hopefully the morning sickness gets better and you start feeling better soon.

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Radiance, I'm so sorry you're not feeling good at all. I'm praying even though it's horrible, that it's a great sign that baby is thriving!!

DSemcho, my morning sickness normally kicks in around noon. I try to eat in the mornings, but some days it doesn't matter. It's literally every other day for me.

 

[Squig34]

Radiance, great news on your scan & hb; great to see your pic! I have heard that it's possible for some women to have clotting issues when pregnant that they don't have when not pregnant (one of my consultants told me this), so it's very possible that you're right - worth asking at least. But beyond that I don't know very much about it. I hope you can find an answer this time, in time. Sorry to hear about the awful sickness too

 

[DSemcho]

14 weeks today! And we finally picked a boy name!! Cole Daniel Semcho (Daniel is his dad's name)

 

[Tasha]

Lovely name D.

We still aren't any closer to names
