Congrats to everyone on all of the wonderful scans!!!

Inviv- sooo wonderful you saw both babies wiggling all around.. Must have been so amazing!! Thank you for the re-assurance on the bad cramps I had.

Xan- so glad your arm is healing well. Thanks to you and Inviv, I feel better now about those horrible cramps. MS hit real bad again. Still can't reduce the Zofran, which is ticking me off!! I am not telling most people until 20 weeks either.

MMax- excellent numbers from your scan!

Amantila- congrats on the amazing test results! So happy for you. I should get mine back this week. Sorry your ms is still so bad, too. It is just terrible and all I can do is pray it ends for both of us v. soon. The only way I don't throw up is if I keep taking the Zofran, which I hate to do, but also can't keep getting so sick.
And don't worry- my OH thinks I'm nuts too. I think it is common during first tri!

Happy Mother's Day to all those in UK! And wishing all a happy, ms-free Sunday!

Happy Mother's Day to my fellow UK ladies!

So we have gender results in a sealed envelope from our Cell free DNA test... I am still unsure if we are going to peek... I am still wanting to keep the surprise not sure how long I will make it.

Lora Loo - So sorry scan is such a long wait !

Campn - All the best !

Welcome Tru Hope and anyone else I missed this thread moves so so quickly !

They are making most of the house repairs off our list so we accepted ! Tentative settlement date is April 8th !

We told all of our family today as we are just over 14 weeks

Xan - The alphafetalprotein was just offered to me... I think it checks for neural tube defects. I was going to inquire more about it as I think I have heard a lot about false positives on this test. They say to get it between 16-18 weeks. They did not even ask me if I wanted the test, just said to go for bloodwork. I will be reading / asking more about it.

Anyone else feeling like time suddenly slowed down to a crawl? Sine MS eased up, I was surprised at how fast time seemed to fly, but this week I couldn't believe I was still only 14 weeks pregnant. Maybe it's related to how soon your next appointment is?

 

[hopie2015]

Xan- slowed to a crawl? I feel like time is standing still!!! I know just what you mean. I'm still 13 wks. I feel like 2nd tri will never get here!! Doesn't help that I am back in bed b/c I am so sick.

Oh man, these days are not easy. I just keep saying this is all temporary. And Northeast is having 70 degree weather this week, so that should help!

Hope everyone is feeling good today. I'll stop complaining now.

 

[amantila]

littledreamer...you have a lot more self restraint than I do! That would have been opened immediately had it been in my hands! I even asked the doctor at my genetic scan if they were using the blood test that tells you the gender. To my disappointment, it does not. I will have to wait until April 14th to find out! Unless I get really impatient and book a private scan. I'm going to try to just wait until April though and save myself the money.

xan and hopie...I agree! Time is crawling these days. I'll be in second tri on friday...but it just seems like it will never get here! Sorry that ms has you back in bed hopie...I really hope your ms is gone for good soon! We are having nice weather here in the midwest for the next few days as well...can't wait to enjoy the warmer days!

Haven't thrown up the past two nights...still feeling nauseous and back to wearing my sea bands all of the time, but hoping that the lack of actual vomiting the past two days might be a sign that it's on its way out. Fingers crossed.

 

[mari35racz36]

Just1more - what a great FB announcement: I announced last week in FB as well. I definitely shocked a lot of people! Lol

Littedreamer- I'm not sure I could wait 5 min without opening that envelope! So exciting Great news on the house too!

Xan - I feel like the last week has gone by incredibly slow. Feels like I've been 13 weeks go so long!

AFM - my stomach has been as mess today. I really hope it's not food poisoning. My MS seems to slowly going away. I still have bad moments of nausea but not 24/7 like before. Next week is spring break here and we are going away with the kids for a couple days. Really looking forward to it

Scan day for me tomorrow and I am soooooo scared. Excited too but just want everything to be ok.

Being nervous is making me a complete emotional wreck x

 

[Uni tsi]

ssarah, I have my scan Thursday and I'm trying not to think about it. Last week I felt pretty confident that everything is ok. Today, I was less sure. Part of me just wants to assume the worst so I won't be disappointed but the optimistic half keeps winning out so it is very emotional. fx for you it all goes well tomorrow! It will feel great afterwards to have had the reassurance.

My doppler came today and I tried it out right away but couldn't find the heartbeat. I'm trying not to let that freak me out. I'm 12+1 today and, to be blunt, I'm a little fat so I think I might just have to wait a few more days before it will work. I also heard it works better early on if you need to pee so I'll try again later after drinking lots of water!

 

[littledreamer]

Here is the card they gave me... I think we will open it once we move into our new home.... maybe lol. We both think its a girl, so its probably a boy lol ! Everyone can't believe I won't open it yet... I just want to save the surprise. My poor hubby is waiting patiently.

Ssarahh and Uni Tsi waiting for scans is so so difficult. I told my doc how worried I get between appointments and she said I can come in weekly for a heartbeat check until I start feeling movement and can relax. At the 12 week scan I knew it would be my last until 20 weeks.

Mari how nice enjoy your spring break trip ! We cancelled Jamaica but are going to a hotel for 2 nights over break.

I now am showing and purchased my first few pair of maternity pants... They are so comfy and I even found real jeans.

Time is moving slowly now ... but I feel less sick and more hungry. I have finally allowed myself to start looking at baby items online. I need a crib for short moms as I am only 5 foot tall !

I wouldn't worry too much about not hearing the HB yet. My doc won't even use the Doppler at checkups until 14 weeks. I actually haven't heard my baby's HB but have seen it flickering on the ultrasound monitor. Definitely try again in a few days

 

[Uni tsi]

littledreamer, what a cute card!

Mari, thank you. I keep telling myself not to worry but it's hard not to have the anxieties twinge. I think I'm just anxious in general till my NT scan Thursday.

 

[hopie2015]

Sarah- wishing you all the best at your scan today! So normal to be nervous. I know I will be before each one. We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Amant- thanks! I hope so too. Yes- that is a great sign for you that the vomiting has ended.

Uni- try not to worry-- so common not to find heartbeat at 12 wks on doppler...even at doctor's office and then lots of times they have you go for a scan.

Mari- hope it is not the stomach flu! That is great you guys are getting away. I remember you cx'ld Florida trip. Good thing-- I was watching on news about all the Zika virus can cause..very scary. Hoping it is not a problem in the US this summer.

Just another nite of insomnia and sickness for me. But bring on the 70 degree weather!!!

 

[MummaMoo]

Uni - I only found the heartbeat on Sunday at 15weeks, and I have some belly fat. I've learnt that it's a lot lower down than you might think.

 

[ssarahh]

Thanks ladies.

All went well. Measuring 13+1 which brings my due date forward to 12 September. Could you update the first page when you get a second please?

Baby was not overly cooperative so was hard to get the measurement for screening but eventually got it and it's 1.7 .

Now to start telling everyone ...

Thanks for all your support xx
