3chords - thanks . Hope your scan goes well, the hcg is really high.

Mrs R - I hope you are still off google!

Tasha - how is everything going?

 

[dairymomma]

before baby brain kicks in again and I forget (for the umpteenth time)...
Tasha-how are you today? Been thinking of you.

 

[SweetV]

Blue - congrats on 2 great scans in a row. I hope they are all good until 40 weeks.

3chords - that is a high beta! I think you will see something on that scan for sure!

Hope - I would love to find out at 14 weeks! I am so impatient lol.

 

[mowat]

Great numbers ladies!

 

[Mrs Reineke]

blue, yes I haven't got on Google except to see when you can start feeling the first movements of baby because I have felt a few flutters here and there, but I don't know if it's too early? I'm 14w2d today and I've had some the past week or so. More the past few days, but maybe I always have these feels do to digestion, etc and are just really noticing them now?? It says it's possible to feel the first movements as early as 13 weeks, but for 2nd/3rd time moms because they know what they feel like. I'm pretty in tune with my body though...but who knows. Maybe just be wishful thinking.

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Sweet and Dairy: Yay! For great numbers!!!

Blue: Yay for a great scan! can't wait to read about the next one!

Afm: just had my last and thank God everything is good. Baby's kidneys are measuring back in the normal range, such a relief! My next appointment is with the mw on Friday and consultant on the 23rd. Almost there...

tasha: how are you?

Mrs R: 14 weeks! Time just flies by!


Everyone else:

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Sorry, I'm typing from my phone and all my sentences got mixed up! Don't know how that happened!

To everyone else: I'm following you all, baby brain is preventing me from answering individually! But I'm thinking of you all.

 

[SweetV]

Mrs. R. I think it depends on your size as well as a few other factors as to when you can feel baby. My first I could feel at 14 weeks, my angel I was 20 weeks and movement was still infrequent. Yay for those first kicks!! I can't wait!!!

Ummi - Only thing worse than pregnancy brain is new mommy brain. Congrats on the last scan! Next time you see baby it's in your arms

Firmly back in limboland. Period cramping, cervix is lower, and the ever dreaded discharge is back. It's pink, watery, no clots, still feeling pg, and (so far) it's just when I wipe but it's more than just spotting and the cramping is pretty constant. Pretty sure that despite my amazing numbers, something isn't right. Not overly concerned or freaking out because there's nothing I can do at this point but just super annoyed this is happening N.O.W. I'm if anything. I'm leaving crack of dawn tomorrow for a weekend at my parents house and I CANNOT back out of this trip. My mom needs the distraction from my brother's situation and I need the break. But I can't tell her this is happening because she'd spend the whole weekend worrying herself into a frenzy and I don't want that but if this is a miscarriage I'm terrified of miscarrying while driving there or at my parent's house and how am I going to hide that? I just don't know what to do...:nono: Wondering if it's worth it to wait a few hours before leaving tomorrow so I can call the dr's but there's nothing he can do at this point anyway except order another blood draw.

 

[SweetV]

dairy - I'm so sorry. Do you think knowing your numbers were doing what they should would ease your mind a little? Fx that everything is just fine for you.

 

[mowat]

I felt something at 12 weeks with these babies Mrs. Reineke. Totally possible.

Hoping the spotting and cramping stop Dairy. Best of luck tomorrow.

 

[DSemcho]

nm, I see in your sig you are team blue. How many weeks were you when you found out? Usually here they won't tell until over 20. I hope with my bi weekly scans they will tell me earlier.

I found out at 16+6 I had to pay for the private scan off base. Totally worth it - he was definitely showing his goods.

Well ladies, you know how I was hoping for 300? Uh yeah...My hCG came back at 734. I just about fell out of my chair in shock. Decided to break down and get a ticker.

Edit: Holy Cow. Didn't realize I'm 5 weeks tomorrow! Gonna call the dr and set up an ultrasound for 7 weeks. If my pattern holds true, I'll be spotting by then and will probably want one anyway. This way, I'm being pre-emptive and I'll know by 7 weeks if this pg is viable.

Congrats on the high HCG level!!!

Good morning ladies,

DSemcho, I'm excited you get to see your nugget here real soon!!

dairy, congrats on your HCG sky rocking to 734!! Remember yesterday I was like "well I hope it sky rockets for you." LOL!!

Sweet, congrats on your HCG being 954!!!

blue, congrats on a wonderful scan and two in a row!!! Woot Woot!!!

3cords, I can't believe your HCG was 10,600 at 5w2d!!! That's crazy!!

I'm excited to see him again. I've been feeling really nervous lately for some reason.

 

[Oasis717]

Congrats to all on fab hcg results and a successful scan xxx

Dairy...personally, I would go, as sucky as that sounds. I would just wait and see what happens. I hate to say it and go into explicit detail, but if you do miscarry at this point, it will be more or less like a really painful period, but not much worse. Praying that does NOT happen, obviously, but I do think that getting away will keep you busy while you're in limbo, and you can just sort of self-monitor what is happening. Once you return, then you'll be closer to 6 weeks, and your doc can help you a bit more, hopefully. Hang in there. I bled PROFUSELY with Oscar, and he's now here, almost 7 months, and just peed through his diaper leg. LOL! It does happen.

I'm stalking for Tasha...anyone heard anything? I'm concerned for her...

 

[ab75]

I just came on hoping for an update from Tasha too. Hope she is ok !!

 

[blueblue]

Ummi2boyz - thanks . Great news about your last scan.

Mrs R - glad you had a nice google experience rather than a scary one, keep us updated with the movements.

Dairy - hope you are feeling better today and everything has settled down overnight . When mine first started I had fluttery cramping during the night (the GP thought it was an irritated uterus) and have had mild period like pains a few times. Fingers crossed everything will be ok for you. Can you speak to the doctor? Make sure you take it easy at the moment.

I'm hoping Tasha is ok too.

 

[Hope39]

Dairy - my 7w loss was more like a period, I would still go

Xx

 

[dairymomma]

Thanks ladies. If this is a loss, it's the earliest I'll have had one but all but one of my mc have been 7-9.5 weeks so I know what to expect if it is. It was about a half hour of cramping and a few swipes of pink watery discharge/staining on the tp last night. Nothing yet this morning. Not worried about ectopic as the cramping was period cramps and not one sided or should tip pain, my hCG wasn't rising overly fast so I'm not thinking molar, and this is exactly how LO's pg started out almost to the day. My plan right now is to go on my vacation but have a beta and progesterone level drawn before I leave. My mom needs me home more than I need to stay here and wallow in nerves so I'm going. My dad knows about this though and we're going to discuss whether or not to tell my mom when I get there tonight. On the one hand I think it would be good for her to know because it would give her something to focus on other than my brother but I'm also afraid it would give her TOO much to worry about and I don't want that either. And really, I think it's the best thing for me to go. DH is going on a ski trip to the same area I am so if something starts happening and I need him, he's literally a half hour away instead of 9 hours and 2 states away. And it'll get me out of the house so I can't get all cabin-feverish either. There's nothing I can do to change whatever is happening, I can't get an ultrasound until next week at the earliest anyway, and for the moment, I'm still pregnant.

And was hoping I'd see an update from Tasha. I've been worried about her and wondering how things are going. Just hoping it's not bad news...

 

[Tasha]

Dairy, the hugest of hugs. It's a good sign that it's nothing more.

Sorry girls, been really busy and very tired as I didn't sleep for two nights before last night. The scan was good, baby is following its lines and now weighs over 500 grams, that was important to me as it means they can help now if it needs to come (RR was too small at 340 grams even though she was over 24 weeks). The woman was a total cow, the same as the anomaly scan and moaning about me taking her time. Any way all is fine with my little baby.

I will catch up with everything else later, just hope told me you were worried xx

 

[dairymomma]

Thanks Tasha. And glad things are looking good for baby. Honestly, why do they hire people like that for scans? Seriously, doesn't she know what your history is? People like that you just want to smack upside the head and shake some sense into them.

AFM-calming down. Had some yellow/tannish discharge a bit ago but it's like the stuff I had earlier on and it's hard to tell if it's brown or not so just taking it minute by minute at this point. And feeling sick so to that, right? *sigh* PARL sucks and scares make it harder but I'm determined not to let my nerves get the best of me. So I'm off to call the dr and then I'll prob be on the road in the next hour or so. I'll update later tonight or tomorrow AM and hopefully I'll have numbers to make me feel a bit better.
