I have my first appointment in a couple of days. I've seen a lot of people say that ultrasounds usually aren't done at the first appointment, or prior to 12 weeks. I understand there is concern to doing too many scans so some doctors try to do as few as possible.
I've had 2 prior pregnancies. I'd rather not get into how they ended but this will be my first child. My most recent pregnancy was twins.
I don't want to seem desperate but if my doc knows that I've had a multiple pregnancy in the past and that my dad had 2 sets of twin siblings, will that earn me the right to an early scan? I'm trying to think of anything I can say to persuade him if I have to.
I also had pink and brown spotting through weeks 5 & 6.
I'm only about to hit 9 weeks and my pants just don't fit anymore...not even with the hair-tie trick - even that gives me a muffin top. My coworker said I'm showing already but I think she's just excited and likes being one of the only ones who knows.
My MS hasn't been THAT bad. Smells kill me but I definitely don't have HG as I only throw up once a day now.
What else can I bring up to get a scan? My hubby is taking the day off work to go with me so I want him to have something to see (heartbeat) instead of just watching me have blood drawn and answering questions.
I have a feeling there is just one in there this time around...but if there are two, I'd like to know as soon as possible. It would make the MS easier to handle.
Also...I tested the day after my period was supposed to start and the preggo-line popped up before the windows even filled all the way up and was MUCH darker than the test lines. Does that indicate higher hcg levels? I suspect I ovulated early so I could just be farther along.
