Congrats on the 12week scans coming in and pleased to see ms is getting better for people. After 3 weeks off work and hardly getting off the sofa, I woke up feein good! Back to work today! NT scan on Thursday - nervous!

Mummy I will update your DD on the first page!!
Welcome Babydust!!! Congrats!

Sorry for the late update! My appointment went really well!! she found the heartbeat right away and was going at a strong 160BPM. After about 30 seconds, baby moved and hid behind her placenta. It was so cute! She let me record it with my cell phone so I could let my OH hear when I got home.

Scheduled my next two appointments and my gender scan!! Will know if we have a he or a she on the 18th of April. we couldn't be happier that things are going well.

I asked about the weird uterus thing, and she said that it was really common in second pregnancies because the muscles are already stretched out. She was not concerned at all.

Thanks for the kind words ladies!!

Congrats to all the ladies in their recent scans. So happy to hear great news!

I've haven't been on in a few days. Morning sickness has been really bad. This morning I was barely up 5 min and I was puking in the toilet. I really hope it eases up soon! I have a scan tomorrow morning. Looking forward to see how the baby has grown since my last scan. I'll update everyone after its done.
We are getting a big snow storm here this afternoon, hopefully that doesn't impact the roads tomorrow.
I wasn't going to get a Doppler either, but after seeing all the posts I am searching as we speak! Lol

Sorry for my absence, we've had a manic week but thankfully all is settling down now at last.

My brother, his wife and their children are coming to visit us for the next 2 weeks, I can't wait! They've not met Moo and we've not met their youngest, who is 14 months. We're all going Centre Parcs with this them this weekend so fingers crossed for some good weather!

Will catch up on all that I have missed x

Hi all,

So lovely to read all your updates...I look forward to it every evening once work is done, LO is asleep and I can stop pulling my stomach in and have some "pregnant time!" I haven't posted much as am feeling quite down stuck in 1st trimester limbo just waiting for the next appointment and desperate to make it to 2nd tri. Honestly the days feel like weeks! My 12 week scan isn't until the 16th, day before Lora? It feels almost impossible that we're all due in the same month and yet so many of you are already in the 2nd tri....

In addition, I feel positively huge by the evening! I don't think I was this size until 20 weeks last time! I used to be a professional ballet dancer so it's really tough for me psychologically to see this crazy bloat. Just need to get myself bump shaped and it will all be good!! Here I am tonight at 10wks 2 days after eating way too much bread today lol

 

[amantila]

Lallie...glad to have found another former ballet dancer who understands how it feels to be getting bigger! I have to remind myself all the time that this is healthy and normal. According to the doctor, I've only gained 2.5 pounds, but I look like I've gained 20 and it's hard to look in the mirror sometimes. Totally comes from staring at the mirror every day as a dancer though...back when I thought I was "fat" at 108 pounds.

So my 12 week ultrasound and nt scan is tomorrow...praying that everything goes well. I will need to tell work soon as my students have already begun to guess that I'm pregnant. I tried to ward them off with a "you can't ask or suggest that a woman is pregnant...it could just be weight gain and it's rude to ask", statement, but I'm not a convincing liar and they weren't buying it.

Happy March, everyone! I am just soo glad Jan. and Feb are over!

Just1- congrats! such great news. Hmm..you're referring to baby as a girl.. so you think it is?! Great news on that uterus thing too. Congrats again!

Lallie- you look great! Only normal to bloat up after carbs. I totally hear you..the weeks are feeling like months! I'm told that later on pregnancy seems to go fast. This first tri though...ugh!

Babydust- welcome!

PsyC- great to hear from you and glad all is going well, despite the ms. ugh. It is so annoying when hit 10 wks and you think - wow I'm feeling better, maybe it is gone, and then comes right on back. I'm not going to get doppler either, b/c I know I'll have trouble finding the hb and freak out.

Mari- so sorry you are still feeling so sick too. I had the same thing at 5:00 this morning. It really is the pits at almost 13 wks we are and to have this still. Did your ms go away at 13 or 14 wks with your other pregnancies? Wishing you all the best at your appt. tomorrow!

Mumma- Incredibly great test results! CONGRATS!!
great news on the sick free day, too! I love tea and tried it yesterday for first time-- just 2 sips.. bad idea..so sick afterwards.

I'm glad March is here but also can't wait 'til it's over.

 

[Uni tsi]

Today I realized, I am going to give myself away at work sooner than later because every time someone brings up babies, kids, or mothers I subconsciously put my hands on my tummy I really want to keep it under wraps until after my NT scan on the 10th. But, at least everyone has been too polite so far to say anything to me directly. But seriously, I'm going to have to start sitting on my hands, or something!


Lallie, your bump is super cute! I appreciated your picture, cause it gave me a better idea of how things would look for me this week if I were thin. Thanks for posting!

 

[littledreamer]

Hello all ! Congratulations on all the scans.

We have been crazy busy as we put an offer in on a house.
xan congratulations on the baby boy !
I got my Cell free DNA results and they were negative ! So we have an appointment on Thursday to go over all the labs. After that appointment we will share our news. I think many will be shocked! But I am starting to show and it is getting harder to hide. I did have a bladder infection so am on meds for that. I didn't even notice. I worry about taking any medication but I am sure a bladder infection warrants treatment.

The cell free DNA will also tell the gender, but I am so unsure if I want to find out. My husband definitely wants to know, but will wait if I want. I am thinking we will get the results in a sealed envelope and decide later.

This is my first pregnancy and since I am 42 probably my only baby.

We are in process of buying a house, but it needed many repairs and we can only afford it if the seller will agree to fix things... but they are major repairs like the chimney and windows and electrical work. If we get the house I think I might want to know so I can decorate the nursery. We are both thinking girl but I had a dream the baby was here and it was a boy. My head just spins and spins thinking of it all. As I am sure you all understand.

 

[live_in_hope]

hey ladies :wave: xxxxxxx

I have been awol for the most part of the pregnancy so far, since posting back at the beginning.... i was just so sure baby wasnt going to grow or get past 9 weeks after a mmc afew years ago.... But had my scan last week, they brought my due date a week forward so I am only just elligable for the group lol

New due date 2nd Sept and here is my baby xx what a great piccy hey! And im sure its a girl xxx

 

[Lallie81]

Thanks all and good luck for today amantila!
Fingers crossed for the house littledreamer, when will you hear?
Live in hope that is a gorgeous picture! I think she looks like a girl too...

 

[xanzaba]

Good luck today, Amantila!

Little dreamer, I hope you get good news about the house. I think you'll know at the appointment whether you want to know the gender. DH and I are keeping it a secret in the real world, a little secret to savor until ~20 weeks.

 

[mari35racz36]

Little dreamer - congrats on the house So exciting !

Liveinhope - what a beautiful scan pic Such wonderful news.

Hopie - My morning sickness usually goes until 18-20 weeks. Ugh!! Been like that with each of my other pregnancies. This ones will probably be the same lol Today is much better. Yay!!

AFM - It's a snow day here! My kids are so happy there is no school today. Lol I got my scan in 2hrs, Yay! My hubby will be working from home and going to have fun with 3 kids at home while I'm out. Lol I hopefully have a scan pic to post when I get back

 

[Lallie81]

Lallie - congrats on the house So exciting !

Not me getting a house... wish it was though

 

[mari35racz36]

Lallie - congrats on the house So exciting !

Not me getting a house... wish it was though

Omg, I mean littedreamer!! I am so sorry. I've definitely got baby brain! Haha

 

[Just1more2]

Great scan Liveinhope!! What a funny position, "she" looks very comfy in there!!

Hopie, I cant help but refer to the baby as she, I have such a strong gut feeling. I had the same with DS and I was right. And it isn't just me this time, even my midwife is convinced!!
The funniest part is that I NEVER wanted a girl. Couldn't even imagine it. Always thought I was destined to be a boy mum. I grew up with too many girls and never really liked them, HUGE tomboy to this day!

We will see in a few weeks if I am right!

Littledreamer - good luck with the house thing, it is so exciting!!

Good luck to scans today!! I cant wait to see pics!!

 

[mari35racz36]

Just finished my scan and baby looked good. Their printer was still broken!! Ugh! No pic. I saw on my paperwork after that NT measurement was 1.2. I think that is in the normal range.

 

[hopie2015]

Wonderful news Mari!!! Yes, 1.2 is an excellent measurement!
Wow- 18-20 weeks. You are some trooper! I think mine might last 'til then as well. Hate that I still have to be on meds, but thank God they work now and it doesn't seem to be hg anymore.

Lildreamer- CONGRATS on the wonderful news on your genetic results!!
I'm with you -- in my 40s and this will be my last (never made it this far in pg'cy). So exciting on the house. Best of luck.

Amant- best of luck tomorrow. I am sure the heavy feeling is just bloat. It gets so bad especially after eating. Sure you will bounce back to pre-baby weight in no time. I'm concerned with it too.. Let's all support each other after baby with our fitness routines!

MrsMax- that is wonderful to hear! Hopefully from here on the sickness is better. Glad you had some good time off work.

Just1- me too! Just a strong gut feeling it is a girl. Now since I read about nub theory, I see that maybe it wasn't a boy when ultrasound asked if we wanted to know the sex..they can also guess girl then too.

Xan- how are you feeling? Good to be back at work?

Reading all the great updates made me happy! Have been feeling v. irritable from all the lack of sleep. Wondering if melatonin is safe during pregnancy?

 

[amantila]

Little baby looked great today! Thanks for all of the well wishes! They were bouncing around everywhere and giving the poor ultrasound tech a tough time...just like his or her dad...trying to avoid pictures! Haha. But everything looked good...baby had a nasal bone and nt measured 1.4 which doctor said was great! I'll try to add a photo in a few minutes!
