PAL, due in 6/2012

[chistiana]

Tisi hello hun so great to hear from you!!i m sorry this was such a difficult time for you, i know i will never forget the days i lost my babies and their due dates but take comfort your babies are looking after you and their bro/sis and they are happy for you...
Mine isnt exactly a SCH, it is my unpregnant side (bicornuate uterus) having a period and now it just seems to be stuck just above the cervix so it s a waiting game...but bubs is absolutely fine (i get weekly scans thank god) and that s all i want!!
I m sure your big scan will be great...you usually get a hint or a cue or something of something isnt right so try not to worry..it will be perfect! What did they say was the cause of your spotting?
Anyhow i am wishing everything a HAPPY NEW YEAR and may it be 1 million times better than 2011 with lots of happy and healthy babies our way!!!

Sorry ladies for being away. December 27th was a hard day for me. It was the 1 year angelversary of losing my 2nd, and the day I was due with my 3rd. A lot of mixed emotions, and even though everything is so far so good with this pregnancy, it's just been impossible to enjoy the holidays.

chistiana - Hoping that SCH goes away soon. I know a lot of women who have had spotting because of those. Sounds like if you've stopped spotting then it's on it's way out! As for feelig movement, I THINK I'm feeling it, but I'm just not sure. I don't think it's too early at 14 1/2 weeks to feel something for a not the first pregnancy either. I'm grateful when I feel things and I try not to worry when I can't since it's so early.

TTC - SOOOO happy to hear that your SCH is gone to just about nothing! Yay for happy news to bring into the holiday week!

lizbif - UGH!! I'm so happy you had wonderful news despite the scare! Congrats on your little girl! I know both of us are approaching our hurdle soon and things are going to go great for both of us.

PitaKat - Sending happy thoughts your way to get you through to that next scan on Tuesday!

kaboom - Yay on the great appointment!! My OB hasn't done the fundal measurements yet...I keep waiting for that.

AnnaPurna - LOVE the pics!!!

AFM - Next appointment is January 6th and the big anatomy scan is January 12th and I'm TERRIFIED!! I so wish I had reassurance that the baby is growing. I have a doppler and just used it and baby is alive, but I have nothing to tell me if it's getting bigger. A few weeks ago I had a spotting episode and needed an emergency scan at the OB and everything was fine but they didn't focus on measuring the baby, just the placenta and making sure there wasn't a bigger problem. I know at 12 weeks baby was measuring about 2-4 days ahead and hoping that we've continued with that growth pattern.
Lots of love to all of you and the hopes for a much better year for all of us.

Tisi: I'm sure everything will go great with your anatomy scan! Do you have any idea what you are having?

 

[TTCbaby2011]

Chistiana: How are you coming along?

 

[chistiana]

Hey ttc still on strict bed rest (3w+2d ceiling has stopped being interesting a looooong time ago) but baba was doing just fine in wednesday so i ll say it again...you can nail me on this bed as long as we make it strong and healthy to june!!!!how are you hun?

I'm doing great! Next OB appt is not until Jan. 11th. I got a Sonoline B fetal doppler for Christmas. I've been only trying to only listen to my LO heart beat every Monday and Friday but trust me I could listen to the heart beat 24/7 if it drive my LO crazy. BTW does food taste good to you? Everything seems yucky to me.

 

[chistiana]

Ow i wish everything tasted yak...everything tastes absolutely yam yam to me and i m growing a big bump now!

 

[Tisiphonie]

chistiana - Yikes - it's having a period?? Well tell it to stop! I'm so sorry you have to be on bed rest but my motto this pregnancy has been "whatever it takes" and it sounds like you feel exactly the same too! One of my friends was on bed rest the entire pregnancy, she had people bring her books and movies and did crafting, but she was definitely counting the days.
TTC - LOVE my sonoline b! Was listening twice a week until I got to the yucky time around my loss and have been doing it once a day for about three seconds after I get the heartbeat. I'm almost 18 weeks now and have just gotten to the point that I want to eat everything now! But before that everything was awful, it took forever for me to decide what to eat!
And no idea what we're having over here and we're not going to find out either. I like the idea of the big surprise at the end and I want my husband to hand me the baby and tell me. With how I lost my son (due to a stricture), it was undetectable by scan, but we're going to have another one 4 weeks later to see if he/she's growing and that will tell me. That's what I really want to know - how big is the baby. It was measuring ahead by 2-4 days at 12 weeks. Really really hoping it's continued in that way.

 

[chistiana]

Tisi yap...told it ti stop but it s just hanging around...stupid left side...anyway as you say... Back in april i was like "hey i m not spending my whole pg in bed...no way i dot care" ...now i know better...i ll stay in bed een if you tell me this will last 10 months!!!!
I love the fact you re keeping it a surprise,wish i could do it!and hey i hope your big scan go really really well, come on, 2012 is our year!!!

Yesterday I had to go to the ER for bleeding. They said I'm bleeding from the uterus (which its prob a SCH) the bleed is 9cm(4-5in). I go for a OB appt tomorrow so I should know more. I'm praying that the bleed will be gone in Jesus Name!!!!!!
I also had a ultrasound done and we found out the gender. Some think its the cord but trust me I know what it is after 4 boys!! We are having our 5th BOY!!!!! I'm already in love with him!!!!!

Heres the ultrasound pic of our june bug(rainbow baby) from yesterday at 14 weeks and 6 days:

[PitaKat]

TTC, congratulations on your boy!!! I love the ultrasound pictures I'm praying for you as well that the bleeding will be gone!

We had an ultrasound done today, baby was VERY active It was great to get to see our little pipsqueak! We did not find out the gender, we've decided to let it be a suprise.

[chistiana]

Hello everyone!
TTC- your pics are beautiful hun, and definitely a boy!congratulations!!!i will pray for your bleeding to stop, i hope you re feeling much better and remember your lo is 18 weeks already, everything is working to his favor!

Pitak- ooowwowoow also such great pic, i m gealous, all i get now is a round belly or the top of the head! So you re is team yellow too huh? I admire you people!!!so glad bub is doing great!!

Afm- we just came back from the doc (it s like our 2nd house we re there every single week!!). Bubs is doing great, moving a lot and measuring right for its dates! The blood is still in there but doc said it is getting more organised (???whatever that means!!!) and he thinks it will be gone by next wednesday. So we see him again then and fxed i can have the cerclage and get off my butt!till then the bed it is! Once again he said 80% girl but couldnt be certain as baba was sitting cross legged!

 

[PitaKat]

Thanks Chistiana, I was really glad to get such a good picture too. I thought maybe she wouldn't be able to get one because baby was facing us, showing us it's little alien face but then it decided to turn. It squirmed around a lot, did a lot of flips and kicks, but I still can't feel it at all. Oh well, in time!

It's kind of tradition in my family that you wait till birth to find out the gender, and hubby didn't mind going along with that, so yep, we're Team Yellow!

I'm so glad to hear that it looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel for you, and in a week you may be off the bed rest! Crossing my fingers that you get the all-clear at the next apt!

 

[TTCbaby2011]

I went to my OB appt today. I still have a bleed 5.6 cm under the membrane(the sack that the baby is in) The bleed is pushing the membrane upward. My OB is sending me to a perinatologist tomorrow. He does not understand why I keep having all of this bleeding( with this pregnancy and my previous pregnancy). I have been put on baby aspirin and lovenox because of what happened with my previous pregnancy (my angel baby). I had 3 big bleeds with her and when I had to deliver her I also delivered huge blood clots(sorry for TMI). I praying I'll find some answers tomorrow why I keep having all of this bleeding.

 

[chistiana]

Ttc i m sorry this has to be so confusing and worrying..i really hope and pray everything is ok. Have you been tested for clotting disorders?i was also put on baby aspirin at the begining of this pg and up till just before my big bleed even though i have tested - for every clotting disorder under the sun...i think it really helps and it definitily wont harm your baby... Will be thinking of you and your lo

 

[TTCbaby2011]

I went to see the perinatologist today. The SCH is still there it seems to be measuring 7 cm(still under the membrane). I asked him it was 5.6cm yesterday why is it 7cm today. It says its the way you measure it from different angles.He said it looks stable and its all old blood. I found out I do have MTHFR and some other blood clot disorder(but I can't remember what it was). So I do have to stay on the baby aspirin and lovenox. Our baby boy is doing great!!!!! He's weight today was 4ozs(by ultrasound) with a strong heartbeat of 169bpm!!!!! I go see the perinatologist in 4 weeks and my OB doc next week.

Praying the SCH will be gone soon in Jesus Name!!!!!!

Tisi -- I am sorry you had a rough time during the holidays. I was remembering the holidays last year when my betas had finally dropped from my Methotrexate injection. It took so many weeks for those numbers to go down, and rather than deal with it, I just threw myself into holiday planning. This year, I definitely had to take it easy and rest more!

Good luck on your appointment and your scan. I think everything will bring you good news and hopefully this will help you relax until the next appointment/scan. I just keep moving from one to the next trying not to get too stressed in between.

Mine isnt exactly a SCH, it is my unpregnant side (bicornuate uterus) having a period and now it just seems to be stuck just above the cervix so it s a waiting game...but bubs is absolutely fine (i get weekly scans thank god) and that s all i want!!

Anyhow i am wishing everything a HAPPY NEW YEAR and may it be 1 million times better than 2011 with lots of happy and healthy babies our way!!!

Chistiana -- I hope that the bleeding is calming down and your baby keeps thriving!

I STILL haven't been successful with my doppler. Stupid machine.

Everything tastes terrible to me. I did eat pretty well over the holidays -- Grandma's cooking -- but now I'm back to forcing myself to eat.

TTC -- Sorry about the bleeding! I am glad you were able to see your baby and find out the gender. Looks like you and I will be the only girls in a family full of boys!

I'm praying that the SCH heals quickly! Glad that your baby is doing great! Just tell him to keep hanging on and growing in there!

Sorry I have been away so long, I traveled home for the holidays and I'm still trying to catch up here on BnB! I have a scan in a little while, so hopefully I'll be getting good news. Talk to you all later!

Thanks, everything went well today. So the guess at 12 weeks was two boys, and it was confirmed today. DH is really excited. I'm just so happy they're healthy and still both measuring right on track. Maybe I was in denial about the genders for a few weeks... but I really am happy. I will miss the chance to raise a daughter, but I love my little monkeys more than anything. I haven't felt a lot of movement, they're probably too busy kicking each other to kick at me! But I have felt some slow movements every once in awhile, more like changing positions than kicking/punching.
