PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Yes, that's about 10am. So mine is going to be before yours. That's a first! I'm always last since I'm in one of the latest time zones!

 

[heart tree]

True Lou, but usually my scans are in the afternoon, so the UK girls have to wait an extra day to find out. At least this time you'll get my update tomorrow, early evening!

 

[Embo78]

I know!! The clinic I'm going to doesn't open until 5.30pm! Let's hope this one doesn't get cancelled! If it does I'm demanding a refund and I'll book with another company :/

 

[heart tree]

That would be really annoying if they cancelled again. Let's hope they don't!

Hi, sorry I haven't been on here much for the past couple of days. I'm busy until the weekend, too, so you might not see as much of me as usual. I'm fine, though, and so is ducky as far as I can tell.
I've got new maternity clothes and have been eating pancakes (mostly savoury) for two days now.

I wanted to say hi to the newbies and congratulations to HA for her lucky bfp and to all those with good betas

Heart, if the heartbeat is still good then the likelihood is that your baby is still growing nicely.
Try to let go a bit when they do the measurements. I've had femur, head and belly circumference measured and each one comes out with slightly different measurements (expressed in dates). At this point the accuracy is less than in first tri as racial and family differences come into play. For example, if you were carrying a Thai baby it would start measuring smaller than a Scandinavian one. Or your baby might be taking after your grandmother who was a shortie or your uncle who had unusually long legs giving you an 'older' measurement on the femur than on the head circumference.

As long as there is continued growth and good movement, all is well

Thank you Pip that's very reassuring. My grandmother and father are shorties but my husband has ridiculously long legs. Wonder what baby will be?

Hope you have a good busy weekend!

 

[petitpas]

That's easy: your baby will be half and half!
Better hope for a girl as the heel will look less odd

Lish – hi! I just joined this group a few days ago, and already I can tell you that this is a very comforting group of girls to talk to. That’s great news that you have already seen a healthy heartbeat

Puppy – Is the horrid taste you describe something along the lines of a dirty penny? A mix of vomit and metal? That was probably one of the WORST symptoms I had with ALL of my pregnancies, successful and not. Around 7-8 weeks I develop the horrible taste and it lasts until a week or two after delivery. It sounds minor enough, “just a bad taste”, but to be honest I thought it was worse than the nausea and vomiting because it was there all the time, 24 hours a day. I hope your bad taste is only temporary!!

Mom2 – congrats on the great numbers! How are you getting your hcg levels taken so regularly this early? I would love for my OB to do that but it was never offered, even with my previous miscarriages. I am right around you, 4 weeks and 6 days, so I’d love to know my levels are that high as well!

Heart – try not to worry too much about your scan tomorrow! Everything seems to be going so smoothly for you! I know we’ll hear wonderful news from you when you get back tomorrow I wonder if we’ll be able to see your scan? That would be fantastic! And finding out boy or girl is so very exciting!!! That little piece of news will rock your world and forever change your life.

So just out of curiosity, when did all of your MS start? I’m in my 5th week and I think with my previous pregnancies mine didn’t start until the 7th or 8th week, but I have heard other women saying theirs started earlier.
Hope everyone had a great day!!

Welcome lish. Congrats on your bfp. fingers crossed for h&H 9 months.

APB - my nausea started about 6-7wks stopped in weeks 9-10 and returned with a vengence weeks 11-14 now thankfully all gone. WE have all differed so much in here.

heart and embo good luck with the scans, how exciting and genders too!!!! Everything will be just great, imagine how big those babies are compared to 4wks ago!!!

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Adrienne and Kellie. I'll post pictures if I get a scan and they give me pics.

Adrienne, I started feeling nausea around week 6, though it really kicked in around 8 weeks on a more constant basis. Like Kellie, it went away during my 9th week then came back horribly from 10 weeks through 13 weeks. It definitely came in waves.

 

[Pretty Please]

Heart and embo good luck with scans !!!

Hear as long as your baby is growing week by week by your measurements that's good. I remember they also predict weight but that is wildly out !!!!
