PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

I'd love to see how you find the hb DSemcho!! I've got belly fat too, so I'm sure that doesn't help me find it this early (8 weeks 4 days). When did you first find it? Also, I don't know the nub theory, so I'm going to have to Google it, but look at how beautiful your baby looks!!!

 

[hopeful23456]

nice pic and I see a nub dsemcho!

 

[Tasha]

D, what you're seeing there isn't the nub. The nub is between the legs, when they talk about the being in line with the spine they don't mean actually in line but just that the nub is at the sme angle. Google nub baby scan and look at images, it wi show you where you should be looking for a nub x

Random question for those of you who already have a child or children - we are thinking of going to Tenerife when our baby is 3 months old. Is it safe for a small baby to sleep in a travel cot? (Will likely still be in a moses basket here). What covering - is a gro bag ok in a hot climate? Any other issues that strike you that we would need to consider? Have to decide by Monday. Thanks.

 

[Ummi2boyz]

When will that be? It depends on the season. Travel cot is fine. I took ds2 to Algeria when he was 3 months old. It was beginning of October. He was sleeping in his pyjamas and a sleeping bag.
If it's summer time, usually sleeping in just nappies is fine.
Also take a mosquito net, even though in that part of the world mosquito bites are dangerous, but they are annoying, so best to avoid them. It could be that there is none, or loads, depending on where you stay.
Hth, don't hesitate if you have other questions.

I'll make a video when I can. You'll have to excuse my fupa roll though lol.
I found it the day after my doppler came in so I was 12+3.

Thanks! I had just noticed that thing and was like no way I missed that before ha. I'm hoping to find someone that does skull theory too. I've posted in gender prediction but no one ever comments lol.


AFM - Second Trimester today!! And I think I felt baby flicker earlier.

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Happy 2nd tri D!

 

[Radiance]

I still don't know when I am due.

Beta:
January 20th: 345
January 22nd: 710
January 29th: 7,000

Going up wonderfully

On January 20th, they saw nothing. "No signs" of new pregnancy. On the 29th we saw gs, ys, and at odd angles a little baby AND my big clot from the hemorrhage in December that was still there January 20th is nearly gone! YAY!

My dating scan is February 11th. The closer I get to 2nd trimester the more I can feel myself getting anxious. I've been really calm and relaxed but my problems tend to come in 2nd trimester. :/

 

[Squig34]

Thanks Ummi- it will also be early Oct so it's a relief to hear your experience was fine at same age & same time of year!

Aw look at your little bean, Radiance

Happy 2nd tri, D!

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Sorry, I meant mosquito bites are NOT dangerous!

 

[dairymomma]

Radiance-lovely news! FX things stay this good from here on out. Are you getting any extra monitoring this time along with the progesterone/aspirin? (I believe that's what you said you were taking, right?)

Not much help on the traveling with a baby part because the only traveling we've done is to my parent's house with a LO that small and baby has just slept with us in bed or in a crib in the same room.

 

[floridamomma]

Hi ladies. Is it safe to drink during the tww? It's girl night and we we hitting the town. I'm 1dpo

 

[wookie130]

Florida, yeah... it's probably fine to have a few. But be safe!!!

Squig, we took ds to France in Summer when he was less than three months old. We just made sure to keep him out of direct heat and kept him in light clothing. We took some clothes pegs and extra large muslins to make sure he was protected from the sun when in his pram. We also had a sun umbrella but it wasn't as good.

It was cooler at night so I think he had a light weight baby gro on although I can't quite remember. He slept in the carry cot top of our pram, which we lined with a sheep skin (naturally adjusts to temperature, keeps you cool in the heat and warm in winter). I was breast feeding on demand so did not need to give him extra water. If you are using formula you will need to think of sterilising equipment and giving boiled water to keep hydration levels up.
Other than that, it should be manageable! Go!

Miracle, I am sure you are doing your best. Try not to worry about drinking exactly what your doctor says. I think it is much more important to listen to what your body wants.
I couldn't drink flat water at all during my pregnancy, not even during the Summer heat wave. I couldn't drink anything acidic, either. All I managed was peppermint, chamomile and decaf tea and I was so sick of them I don't know how I stayed hydrated. Towards the end I managed to drink sparkling water. Have you tried that?

I am sure you are not harming your baby. Your baby is taking what it needs and you will be the first to be affected by any deficiencies, not your baby. Keep up the strength

MrsR, I barely managed to hear a hb at 8.5w when really pushing the probe down and pointing it towards my knees (rather than at a right angle if that makes sense?). If you are carrying extra weight in that area it can be more difficult to find the hb and you might have to wait until the uterus has lifted further out I f your pelvis. Not hearing a hb yet doesn't mean there isn't one, though!

AFM, it seems that we are going through our first growth spurt. Dd fed 20x in 24 hours. I was chained to the sofa and just watched tv and ate naughty food all day

 

[Radiance]

Thank you both! I am on baby aspirin and progesterone So far everything seems great. I have been seen more in the last two weeks than I ever did with Elena and we lost her close to 14 weeks. That speaks volume :/ I left Elena's OB office and went to a new one. My new OB is the one that delivered Elena. She's really good and for awhile specialized in high risk so I can't wait to see her!

We have a girl name picked, Athena Rose but I am now thinking this is a boy

 

[petitpas]

That's a beautiful name!

Judging by the u/s I'd say you were about 5 weeks 4/5 days then so that would put you at 6+2/6+3 today (Feb2nd). I'm only saying that because your ultrasound looks like mine did at 5+3 except we didn't see a fetal pole yet.

Hi ladies. Is it safe to drink during the tww? It's girl night and we we hitting the town. I'm 1dpo

I certainly did drink so thankfully everything is fine so far lol.


Nothing new except I'm excited that the new Vampire Chronicles book is here!

Also MrsR I got the video made for you, I just have to put it on photobucket... It's like 4 minutes long lol.

 

[Squig34]

Sorry, I meant mosquito bites are NOT dangerous!

I knew that's what you meant from the rest of what you said

Thanks Petit, I wouldn't have known that the sun umbrellas aren't up to much. I'm hoping to BF which will be a lot less hassle than bottles! Glad your LO is doing well although that was a pretty intense day of feeding!

Very pretty name, Radiance

Good luck with the doppler if you get it, MrsR.

Not much happening here today except I'm having to take the day off work as my back is really quite sore & last night's insomnia was the worst ever - 2 hours sleep. But still, not going to work is a silver lining

 

[floridamomma]

Thanks ladies the day of my IUi on Friday I did have a glass of wine next night I just had cranberry juice and told everybody that I put in it LOL

 

[DSemcho]

DH has finally become interested in baby and picked a first name if it's a boy. Cole. But I can't find a middle name.
