I have my next doctor appointment tomorrow and I am very much hoping that I get to hear baby's heartbeat!

Cat, an SCH is a subchorionic haematoma which is basically a blood clot in your uterus. Sometimes they bleed, sometimes they don’t. Most will resolve by 20 weeks.
Mine caused a massive gush of blood at 6 weeks and now on/off brown gunk for 3 weeks. They are very common - apparently the most common reason for first trimester bleeding.

Thank you elliecain. That is really interesting, now I can say I learned something new today

Happy Valentine's day to everyone! I got to see my bean today! Hb is 153 she said everything looks great!
New official due date is October 4th... I think I'll hang in here though!

Hearing that heartbeat was amazing. Knowing that you have alittle growing person inside of you. I've happy cried about four times today. I have alot of support from my co workers. My last day at the job was yesterday. I'm over the moon.

Congrats and OMG! My official due date was also 4 Oct at my first ultrasound. I just decided not to pay too much attention to it, because my first U/S was at just over 5 weeks and theres still a chance for me to have a September bub (we're hoping bub's birthday will either be with my Mother in law (16th) or my dad (30th) )

Sorry to hear of your loss Bee Bee! Congrats on the lovely scan boognishrises! Peonies83 I hope your scan goes really well! And amytrisha yay for having a scan date!

Sorry i havent been around for a few days, i went to my doc appt after the all day cramping monday arvo, and she said all normal as long as no bleeding with it.

Then I woke up with bleeding again tuesday morning.. back to ED and the portable scan showed baby moving and hb but also showed placenta bleeding, first time they've been able to see the cause of bleeding on ultrasound, so the ED doctor says i am high risk, but to just keep working as normal cause there's nothing i can do to help just dont do any high risk activities like horse riding or bungee jumping.

I have another proper scan tomorrow arvo as well as HCG level blood test and a specialist appt on monday to look at results of those.. just praying i get to keep this baby.. 11 and a half weeks in now and so close to the end of that first trimester.

My MS has ramped up sick every arvo/night from about 4pm until i fall asleep, but just feeling crappy no vomiting as of yet!

Hope everyone else is going well!

 

[amytrisha]

Lightning, sorry about the bleeding must of been scary but I’m glad baby was moving about in there, take it easy

Peonies, hope you get to hear the HB! Fxd!

Boogn, that’s brilliant!!

Dandi, reassuring you haven’t been able to find it yet either so it’s not just me it is very early. Mine is an angelsounds so awkwardly shaped I think that could be part of the reason too.

Cookie, glad the spotting stopped

 

[Lightning7]

Thanks amytrisha

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Good luck today, Peonies!

Lightning, I hope things settle down. It's good they were able to find the source of the bleed, knowing can be reassuring and then you know you can get the correct treatment. Good luck tomorrow!

Mickels, are you feeling better?

 

[mrscletus]

Hey ladies. Things are goin well, got to see our little bean yesterday as the Doppler wasn’t able to get the HB, midwife wanted to make sure all was well, so they used the portable u/s. Babes was moving and jumping all around (no wonder the Doppler didn’t work). Any way I am so happy that babes is doing well and very active. I just feel horrible that I told DH he didn’t have to go to this apt, and then I got the scan.

Lightning- hope everything straightens out for you, you are so close to 12 weeks! Did they say why they are testing hcg level again? I’m just curious.

Good luck today Peomies!

Cookie- glad the bleeding didn’t last long, maybe next time you dtd you won’t bleed at all!

Have a great day today ladies! I got
To video the scan... I wish I knew how to upload vids lol.

 

[Lightning7]

Mrscletus - glad you got to see your little bean again! Always nice to see they are still ok.

They didnt say why they are checking hormone levels again. When i was in ED on Tuesday the doc said she wouldnt be doing my hormone levels again because they were already decreasing when they did them a couple days apart at 9 weeks

 

[CertifiedOreo]

Well I just scheduled my first appointment! Its for March 9th when I will be 10 weeks, almost 11 weeks. I'll be getting my first ultrasound! I have to go and get my labs done beforehand though. Now just the waiting...

I rent as well but my house is in serious need of tlc and to declutter! I only have 3 rooms and my 2 girls share their room. My son is still sleeping in his cot in my room purely because our spare room is a huge storage room but that will be getting cleared out after the downstairs is sorted (and when I don't feel so exhausted!) so my son can go in there and the baby can sleep in my room!

I am currently saving up to get a 7 seater car, I'm hoping to get a VW touran or a seat alhambra but I'll decide nearer the time when Im ready to buy one.

I have never had any inklings as to whether I'm having a boy or girl. I guess I'd like a boy so I can pop him in with my son and for the OCD side of things to say I have 2 girls and 2 boys 😂 though another girl would be nice and just have 1 mummy's boy! My husband would like another girl as he maintains that girls are more chilled out than boys who winge at everything! (I stated that includes him too!)

I have my first scan on Monday afternoon and I'm anxious that there is even a baby in my womb! 😂

Yayy!! We are right on time together!! Thank you!!! It was amazing... Such an amazing feeling!

 

[Peonies83]

The doctor appointment went well! The litte heartbeat was coming through nice and strong. I found out my doctor is retiring, so I have to search for a new one. At least I am not finding that out later on!

 

[elliecain]

Mrscletus I use Vimeo and you can then post a link to your video. I’d love to see it.

Boognishrises, that’s so great! It’s such a relief to see and hear your baby.

Lightning, I bet you were gutted that you can’t bungee jump! I’m so glad all is well though, cramping and bleeding are terrifying.

CertifiedOreo, ugh the waiting!!! I’ve been lucky to have so many scans this time, I’ve not had to wait long between each one. I remember with Finlo, I had a viability scan at 6+3 then it was such a long wait until 12 weeks!

——————

I’m just hanging out waiting until Wednesday when I have my final scan with the IVF clinic. They gave us 2 free scans because they wanted to monitor me even though this baby was a natural conception. So far, I’ve had an emergency scan with them and one with the EPAC (due to the bleeding) and one of my freebies and a follow up with the EPAC. Wednesday will be scan 5!

My little boy is 1 today and I’m so amazed and proud. He’s a little superstar and has come so far. He was 4 weeks early and very ill for a while but he pulled through and you would not know he struggled now. I’ve laid out all his presents and banners and balloons in the living room and I can’t wait until he gets up and sees it all

Today is family and some meals and celebrations then tomorrow he’s having a big party with his baby buddies at the local soft play.

Then I’m back to work on Monday after a year of maternity leave. I’m so lucky that I was able to take a whole year and I’ve only got to go back until July, when I’m on school holidays (I’m a teacher) then maternity leave again in September.

I need to chase my 12 week scan date. I’m keen to get the NT and blood tests done so I can see my risks for trisomies etc. I just want to tell the world I’m pregnant!!! Finlo had a cake smash photo shoot yesterday and we included an announcement photo too!

In other news, this is my second pregnancy in a year and I think my stomach muscles remembered the form. I swear I look pregnant already. It’s going to be hard to hide this at work!

 

[amytrisha]

MrsCletus, that’s lovely you got to see baby. Shame OH wasn’t there but there’s always next time and at least you have the relief all is great

Peonies, glad your apt went well!

Bubbles, good luck for the US!

Oreo, I’m sure it’ll fly by if you keep yourself busy!

Ellie, a big happy 1st birthday to Finlo! I hope he has a great day!

 

[Catmumof4]

Hey everyone glad all is good news! Back on the school runs tomorrow time to be a mombie again lol x

 

[AmberR]

So glad everyone has good news! My first appt with the midwife is on Tuesday and I am so excited! I never made it this far with my first pregnancy so have no idea what to expect. I suppose it's probably too early to hear the heartbeat on doppler? I will be secretly hoping that my midwife offers to try at least!

 

[Peonies83]

Good luck with your appointment on Tuesday, AmberR!

 

[waiting2c]

Tomorrow is finally scan day!! So excited! Hope everything has been growing well in there!!
