D - thinking of you & hoping all is well

When is your scan Squig? Is it this week? Any movements yet x

Scan this Friday but it's for a pre-eclampsia study so my 20 week scan is next Friday. Yay for 2 scans no movement yet though & I'm 19 weeks tomorrow, so a bit anxious. You have a scan tomorrow, right?

 

[Hope39]

Yeah it's tomorrow. Prepared for bad news, Ive been on sofa since Friday due to a show x

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Squig and Hope, I hope your scans/appointments go well. I'm praying for both of you!!

 

[Tasha]

Thinking of you tomorrow Hope and squig!

I wouldn't usually do this but I went stalking D, as I was really worried and so were you girls and she posted a few hours after her post here, saying everything was fine. Phew. Pleased your okay D

 

[Squig34]

Oh Hope, I really hope it doesn't turn out to be anything to do with the baby. Sorry to hear this. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow

Thanks for that update Tasha, it's a relief to hear, I was getting pretty concerned not to read an update from D.

 

[Hope39]

Wonder why she didn't update her, she must have fallen out with us ��

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Glad to hear everything with DSemcho is ok!! Thank goodness!!

Hope, I am praying for you. Please let us know how it goes.

I'm so glad all is well with DSemcho! I wouldn't assume that she's fallen out with us...it may have been a busy day for her, and she updated others prior to those of us on this thread? In any case, I'm glad all is well with she and baby!

Hope, I hope all is well with you, also. Sending lots of prayers your way!

 

[DSemcho]

Sorry ladies I took a long nap when I got home from work! - it was a super busy day lol.

They found the HB. Whew. Turns out the little turd is about an inch under my belly button to the left side. They tested me for a UTI and everything is fine. And they want me to get a OMT massage from a doctor here on base. I'm feeling a lot better now.

Also ran into the doc I saw at 10 weeks, who ran the vitamin d and thyroid and all that stuff, and she said my vitamin d was really low - 20.7 where in pregnancy they want it to be at least 30. So they think it was even lower than that before pregnancy because I had already been taking my prenatals for 8 weeks when I had my blood draw. So she's pretty sure it was what caused all of my losses,and all the symptoms of low vitamin d fit me perfectly.

Also MrsR I'm trying to upload that video for you of how to find the hb but my iPad is being a turd.

Great news, D!
Are you increasing your dose of vitamin D? How much are you on at the moment?

Wooks I'd not assumed, I just got my silly head on yday

All Was ok today, there was a little heart beat beating away

I have a 22mm cyst on my ovary too but there not concerned at the moment x

 

[Squig34]

Very glad to hear that all is well, Hope how many weeks are you now?

 

[wookie130]

So glad to hear all is well with you, Hope!

 

[Hope39]

I'm 6w 3d based on lmp, they measured it at 5-6 wks which I'm fine with, isaac measured 5w4d at my 6w3d scan and had caught up by next week

It was a trainee sonographer too so not as experienced although she was being supervised

Glad all is ok Hope xx

 

[dairymomma]

Hope and Dsemcho-glad your scans went well. Always likes to see good scan news on here.

 

[DSemcho]

Great news, D!
Are you increasing your dose of vitamin D? How much are you on at the moment?

I'm on 1,000iu

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Such a relief that everything is fine for both of you girls.

Ds: I also have low vitD and was put on very high dose at first to get a quick boost (25000 iu per week for 12 weeks) and then 1000ui per day like... For the rest of my life!
Ask your doctor if you can up your dose in the short term and then continue with 1000iu.
And I've read about vitD deficiency and pregnancy loss and also infertility. It makes sense.

 

[dairymomma]

I'm on 3,000iu daily during the summer (I get sunlight then) and I bump it up to 6,000 in the winter.

 

[Mrs Reineke]

DSemcho, I'm so glad everything is ok!!!! I was worried about you!!! If you can't get the video uploaded it's ok. I think I've figured out where my baby likes to be now. It's about a 1/2 to 1 inch to the right of center.

Hope, yay for the heartbeat!!! So glad everything is going well!! A friend of mine had a cyst on her ovary as well and they weren't concerned about it either. It is super common in pregnancy.
