Good luck with your apt Amber and with the scan waiting! Both so exciting!

I’m feeling pretty crappy today. Having pain in my side, called the midwife on call... it’s common just tendons stretching, heating pad seems to help for now- just going to chill and head to bed early I think. I might be crazy, but I swear I’m starting to feel baby in there.... just flutters right now. I’ll be 12 weeks tomorrow, I think that’s fairly early... I honestly don’t remember when I felt my other 2...

mrscletus - I have thought the same for the past few days, mainly at night when I am lying in bed. It has been a comforting thought of everything being okay in there.

Mrscletus and waiting - so glad im not the only one i could swear ive been feeling flutters in there when im lying on my back for the last few days. Thought maybe I'm just going crazy

I think i somehow accidentally unsubscribed from the thread wondered why i hadnt been getting any emails for people replying!

I had my appt with the early pregnancy unit this morning, he didnt really seem to know what he was doing, kept changing his mind on what to do with me until he decided to just get out the doppler and hear the heartbeat and then just told me come back to emergency if the bleeding comes back.. pretty much a waste of the morning but I'm excited to have heard the little heartbeat for the first time
It took him forever to find hb cause he was looking wayyy too high haha like above my belly button sometimes i think i could do a better job then these doctors haha oh and he also didn't like that my hcg levels have dropped and says its a mystery why but hes just going by baby still growing that its not a bad thing.. and I'm just thinking how does he not know that of course they have dropped as im 12 weeks now they are now 90,000 down from 180,000 on the 1st feb.

Oh i had a scan on friday for EPAU to review results and bubba was so active i couldn't even see heartbeat cause every time the lady got him/her on camera baby would kick its little legs and disappear off the screen it was sooo funny! Meant she didnt get very good photos though!

hi gals...

So happy to see everything is still going good and GL to all going for appointments and scans in the near future. I was just at the Doctors for my follow up from last weeks ear nose and throat infection and I got classified as high risk as my blood pressure and hemoglobin levels are a little on the low side. they are going to be starting me on asprin for the remainder of my pregnancy in 4 weeks

Glad to see everyone is okay! I turned 10 weeks on Saturday so I’m finally in double figures! I’m hoping this nausea goes away soon. I’m getting so fed up with it!

I got my next scan date finally, which is 2 weeks today so I’m excited about that! Can’t wait to see baby again I’m a bit scared in case something is wrong but I’ve been listening to the heartbeat every day and I know that once that’s heard/seen then chances of something being wrong goes down dramatically. I think it’s hard to relax at all once you’ve had a loss at any stage.

I just really hope this is our rainbow baby!

 

[amytrisha]

Gonna take a break from here til my scan as I’m going out of my mind and don’t want to put a downer on those who have seen/heard baby already.

Good luck to those with scans soon x

 

[waiting2c]

Scan went really well, all is good in there. Baby wouldnt cooperate though so no pictures. Refused to face up kept rolling so back was facing scanner.

She said all looks as it should and good strong heartbeat so will go with that. Now to just wait on the NT results.

8 weeks till the next one! Eek!

You're so right! First timers that have no issues have no clue...

 

[Boognishrises]

Emotions are all over the place with cute moments making me cry... I've cried talking about my little brother and how cute he was as a kid, but he's like 30 now... I cried over little fish eggs bc the eyes were looking up... I cried over a family friend playing thumb war with my niece. What have u cried over so far?

Nausea is changing times of day. Now more in the am and pm and not mid day.

We are telling our family on Thursday and I'm over the moon! I'm hoping all goes well with everyone. My next scan is March 14th. "So far away but it's so easy to see you..."

I'm gonna try not to cave and get a Doppler. How effective are they?!

 

[Lightning7]

Mickels - good luck with the aspirin fingers crossed your risk goes down!

Cookie - congrats on double figures it goes so slow doesnt it!! I know exactly what you mean after last time having a miscarriage i get so worried about everything there isnt that feeling that of course everything will be ok! I have had a lot of pain in lower abdomen where baby is today and i just keep telling myself no bleeding so everything has to be ok!

Boognishrises - soooo tempted to get a doppler too.. esp after hearing hb with it at docs yesterday and he found it quite easily once he went low enough!

Sooo i vomited for the first time today which is weird being that I'm a little over 12 weeks so for most people sickness would be on its way out!

 

[Dandi]

Same here, I’m crying at anything and everything! It’s ridiculous. I feel bad for my husband, he’s so confused from one minute to the next. I’ve had a lot of nausea too. I didn’t even realize it for a while bc it’s not the same kind of nausea I had with my son. It’s more of a constant underlying queasiness that just makes me feel yuck.

I had my second scan today and everything looked great. Heartbeat was 178 and baby is growing right on track. I finally feel like I can take a breathe and start to get excited. Of course, anything could still happen, but knowing that baby has caught up and is doing well now is very reassuring.

I hope you are doing ok amytrisha. Everyone is going through ups and downs, we are here for you, don't feel like you need to censor yourself! I know I always get negative just before going for a scan, maybe its a defense mechanism.

Stories of preggo ladies crying over the smallest things are the best, imo. When I was preggo with my 1st I had a *total* melt down (thankfully once I was back in the car, and not still standing in the shop) with DH because I was 10 cents shy of being able to get a small ice cap at Tim Horton's! He seriously looked at me like I'd lost my mind. I was crying hysterically the rest of the way home. He felt so bad he immediately drove back out to get me one and came home to find me sleeping on the couch. I don't really have any other times it has happened, mainly, I think, because I'm so aware of it from that first ridiculous time.

I ended up telling my mum last week and was pleasantly surprised that she was genuinely happy. I knew she would eventually be happy, but I thought initial reaction would be pure worry. She ended up telling me she had been worried our history would prevent us from trying again even though we wanted one more and that we would always regret it. It was so nice, I felt like a weight had been lifted- one less thing to worry about!

 

[waiting2c]

Thats great news Lilfooshfoosh! We were worried about telling our parents for various reasons but they all took it well and are excited for us too, it is so nice to get it done and move on to the excitement isnt it?

Hope everyone has a lovely day/night, depending on where you are in the world. I am just off to work!

 

[AmberR]

Mrscletus, waiting and lightning- so amazing you can feel movement already. I can't wait!

Mickels- hoping the aspirin helps, hoping the best for you!

Boog- I have heard that's common but I haven't been overly emotional. I'm not the type to cry much at all normally so maybe that's why

Cookie- glad things are going well, yay for double digits!

Dandi- glad your scan went well!

I had my midwife appt today and got to hear my baby's heartbeat on the doppler! It was so lovely. I still am having a hard time believing it because I really don't feel pregnant. I can't wait to have a bump!

 

[Lightning7]

Dandi that is exactly how my morning sickness has showed itself! Not as definitive nausea but an underlying one that makes me just feel really yucky. Well up until yesterday when i actually woke with slight nausea then vomited before i left for work lol.

But today no nausea so far so I am happy with that!

I told my mum on the weekend she seemed pretty excited. Wasn't sure how to say, so just folded scan in half and handed to her lol. It was pretty funny seeing her reaction when she realised what it was!

 

[amytrisha]

I finally found a heartbeat on the Doppler!!! phew!!!

 

[Catmumof4]

Hey all I had my 12 week scan today baby was so wiggly bless it, all is good xx hope everyone is well xx

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

amytrisha and cat that is great news

I keep waiting to see threads for people due in November, but it hasn't happened yet.

 

[CertifiedOreo]

I am a little over 8 weeks today and I have been feeling a lot better...i'm kind of worried cause isn't it kind of early to be feeling better? I started feeling sickish week 5, nausea and needing to eat a lot and then feeling sick after I ate and now I just feel so much better, is that bad?

 

[Jules8]

I hope everyone is doing well! Happy to see that appts. and scans have been going well or coming up for some people.

This pregnancy has been sooooooo different than my first. With my daughter I just had the general things like queasy here and there, tired, and uncomfortable mainly at the end. Other than that I felt great! This time I've been feeling rough. I've been exhausted, nauseous, emotional, hormonal, and just...well pregnant. lol I've been feeling better here and there over the past few days so hopefully I'll be feeling better soon. I don't have another ultrasound til March 15th, but I have a general OB appt. next week.
