PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

Its gone now... but it was here! I know... really dumb... but I enjoyed it for about 10 minutes! :)
 
welcome chocolate! :hi:

hello! its sooo hot here today! i think its 27C or so... craziness but i'll take it! just took the dog for a long walk and she's panting because of the heat and i'm panting because of lil bubs and the increased bloodflow...lol. i'm going to have to go shopping because none of my spring clothes fit with the weight i gained in my last pregnancy :( and i can't buy mat clothes yet so i'm kinda in limbo state... going to bite the bullet andbuy a few bottoms though and some belly bands so that i can wear them until june when i figure i'll have to wear maternity clothes.

still no nausea... :wacko: trying not to get scared by that dissapearing symptom...
 
:hugs: its about 5c here! hahah soo cold,

im scared too,. but we can do this xxxxxxx
 
:hugs: Hannah! I'm sure you're just getting used to the pregnancy hormones and its not making you so sick now. Most people don't see sickness until 6+wks. I'm only just now 6 and hoping to be sick soon... I swore I wouldn't hope to be sick! But, I'm apparently a liar! LOL
 
So I was kinda flipping out today, my boobs didn't seem to hurt nearly as much but I couldn't really eat all day. I couldn't tell for sure if it was the metformin being hire or actual pregnancy nausea. I was really upset and then my girls started to ache again and I was finally able to eat something: steak. It was soooo good. But I got no sleep today so that might be why I feel so sick I hope. I'm a mess.

DH and I finally had an actual discussion about what went on at my last appointment since he didn't go. He fully agrees that as long as there is a heartbeat we won't be terminating anything and he thinks the doctor is wrong. He's also glad I got an appointment with the high risk ob. So yay for some support!

Glad everyone is enjoying feeling sick! Anywhere else this would be a mental health forum.
 
Glad hubby is being supportive Kimini, this must be so scary xxx

I had a bit of a meltdown last night but this morning am telling myself that I am MUCH more likely to have bled than MMCd so I have to be positive for my little Munch. Only one more week to go til we know...
 
Ah Nic, I'm sorry you had a bad time last night. Sending lots and lots of love. You didn't watch corrie did you? That will have tipped you over!! X
 
Kim - Yay for support, honey! :hugs:

Nik - I keep remembering that I did have heavy spotting/light bleeding last time! It keeps me sane! In fact, I've come to almost realize that the "missed" part of my MMC was basically my own fault. I was using progesterone cream, and I think the light bleeding should have been a full on MC... but the supplements kept it from going that way and everything from being lost when it was meant to. I should have stopped using the cream when I started spotting/bleeding... but I wasn't in that frame of mind and had so many people saying that the bleeding could be normal... obviously, I wanted to believe it was. But, I think I knew in my heart (based on all the times I said "This can't be okay... This can't be normal!") that it wasn't okay. So, every day that I'm not seeing any sort of bleeding is a day that I'm more confident! You have to be confident too! You are much more likely to bleed than MMC!
 
Haha no, I don't usually watch corrie. I was enjoying a very young Lindsey Lohan in The Parent Trap. Love that film!
 
Morning Jojo, you alright? Cryptic status on FB last night!! x
 
im alreet aye - huby just stayed out longer thna he said he would so he missed the shop so i didnt get my much needed lemonade!
 
Men!! Do they not realise their fathering responsibilities have already begun?!
 
lol. i gave him a much needed telling off, and told him i just want consideration - i mean if he knew he was gonna b later back i would have gon to tesco myself! lol

but were all good now - he's just a silly sod,

i think having a blocked nose make nausea less prominent - i cant smell so every smell doesnt make me gag :)
 
I've just accumulated some very encouraging information from various websites and am hoping and praying:

The fetal pole grows at a rate of about 1 mm a day, starting at the 6th week of gestational age. Thus, a simple way to "date" an early pregnancy is to add the length of the fetus (in mm) to 6 weeks. Using this method, a fetal pole measuring 5 mm would have a gestational age of 6 weeks and 5 days...

According to that my baby measured 6w2d at 6w4d so only 2 days behind. According to the info my doctor is going on I should have been 7 weeks at that ultrasound but I didn't ovulate on cd 14, I never do.

The normal fetal heart rate usually varies somewhere between 120 and 160 beats per minute (bpm) throughout pregnancy, but in the early part of the first trimester, the baby's heart rate can be slower. A 1996 study established the following as the minimum normal heart rates in early pregnancy ultrasounds, with the size varying by the size of the fetal pole:

* 2 mm embryo: 75 beats per minute
* 5 mm embryo: 100 beats per minute
* 10 mm embryo: 120 beats per minute
* 15 mm embryo: 130 beats per minute


And according to that the heartrate wasn't low at all. And my breasts hurt quite a bit today and I was sick last night, not throwing up, but it kept creeping up my throat until I got that nasty taste in my mouth iykwim.

So now the only issue seems to be the fact that bean was ill defined, which I think means he was hiding a bit (come on he's only 2mm!) and the sac hadn't grown a lot according to the avg diameter rule, but if the went by the largest diameter which some do, then it was perfect. Compared to the first ultrasound the sac was about twice as big with clearer edges and had changed shape quite a bit.

Missy, yay for the symptom of congestion.
 
Kimini that is so reassuring. Got everything crossed for you sweets x
