Yeah i heard u have to be further along and it will probably take a little bit for it to get here so i still have time it will be nice to be able to pick it up when i can though!
Yeah im glad too! Hopefully this trend stays awhile. Haha
So i ate something weird for the first time today lol i tried eating a salad from a salad bar but the only thing that tasted good was the sunflower kernels eggs and ranch so i got more of just those 3 on a plate and ate it. So weird but it tasted good! Haha

Hey girls!
Not much to report really, feeling a million times improved than before. How you guys doing?
A couple of girls on another thread I'm on have recently had miscarriages, late ones too. I know it shouldn't but it always makes me worry! Got my scan in 8 days so Im hoping that will set my mind at rest a bit.
How you girls?

 

[MaeganNicole]

Hey, doing okay just having nausea every now and then. Today has been rough but its def getting better! Glad youre feeling better! I totally understand that. Im on the dec babies forum and someone just mc. Its so sad and then u also realize that it could happen to u.

[MaeganNicole]

Haha cant tell at all bonnie! Lol doing ok....

Awesome to hear the scan went well! Im looking forward to mine in 2 weeks! Hoping to hear the heartbeat this time! Havent heard it since my 6 week scan!!!

 

[Bonnie11]

Had my scan today!!!!! All went good. So nice to see bubba!
Naughty baby was curled up on his front sleeping when we first went in, looked so cute! The sonographer have him a good old poke about and he turned with his back to her! Had to get up and have a shake about before he turned over for a few seconds but she just managed to get a pic and do measurements in time! Due date is spot on, and it's on our wedding anniversary!
Happy bunny today!!

 

[MaeganNicole]

Thats wonderful news bonnie! Glad u got see the cutie pie! I dont get to see my cutie pie for 5 more weeks when we do the gender scan! Hopefully i will get to hear the heartbeat again next week though!

 

[Bonnie11]

Thanks! Was so awesome. Would post a pic but don't think I can do it off my phone.
I'm curious, I know another couple of other US people on here who don't have a 12 week scan either, is that normal? How do they do a Down's syndrome test?

 

[MaeganNicole]

Oh im sure it was! I can post from my phone. U just have to make sure the resolution is loe when u take a pic.
Yeah im off schedule. My first appt was at 6 weeks instead of 8 so im falling different than most. So my 2nd appt was at 10 weeks. They offer testing. Its a chronic villi sample or something like that around 10-13 weeks which checks for chromosomal abnormalities if any of them come back positive then they will do a scan. I actually opted out of testing. If they find somwthing it will be at my 18 week scan when they check for organ development. We will see.

 

[Bonnie11]

Ahh ok they do it differently here then. Everyone has a '12 week' scan (anytime between 11-14weeks) and they make sure baby is growing ok and then measure the food at the back of its neck and do a blood test. The combined result gives you your chance of downs. You can opt out though and just have the scan and they won't look for downs. They only do the chronic villus if your chance comes back high,because of the risk of miscarriage with the cvs test. The reason we har to have an earlier scan is because the scan/blood combination is only accurate between 11-14 weeks so that's why everyone ends up having that scan. Then we have another scan at 18-22 weeks to check development and sex. I'm so excited to find out what it is!! Are you finding out?

 

[MaeganNicole]

Yeah thats weird. Goes to show how different we all do it! Haha
And yes we are. My hubby said he's going to need that much time to prepare if its a girl. Lol he really wants a boy!

 

[MaeganNicole]

Well i received my doppler today from my sil! Gonna try to use it tonight or tomorrow morning! Hopefully i can find that little heartbeat quickly! i will let u guys know!

 

[MaeganNicole]

Sorry for my multiple post in a row but i was too excited to wait til tomorrow! I found the heartbeat rather quickly for my first time which was beating between 155-165! I cant believe that such a small device can produce such a powerful sound and emotion! Im once again relieved and excited! Yay!!!! Cant wait to share this little heartbeat with my family!!!

 

[Bonnie11]

Yeayy! You must be so happy! Still can't find mine on the doppler but at least I know it's there, am going to start trying again. Lovely to be able to hear it whenever you like! How far are you now? About 14 weeks?

 

[MaeganNicole]

Yes i was estactic! I cant believe i found it so quickly! It was a relief since i havent heard it in 7 weeks! Im 13 weeks today! Yay second trimester!!!!

 

[Bonnie11]

Think I might have managed to upload it, can you see it?

 

[MaeganNicole]

Yep as clear as day! What a beautiful pic! Thanks for sharing! Yay!

 

[Bonnie11]

How you guys doing? Not much to report, getting bloody fat now, feel like a whale!

 

[MaeganNicole]

Yeah not much here. Just been dealing with allergies again which caused me to dry heave off and on for like 4 1/2 hours this morning. Been up since 1 am and im working all day!
