Lol emily. I think my bump has reached a plateau

 

[snowflakes120]

I can't wait for a bump. I don't even have any bloat - well I should say I have noticed it comes and goes - like everything else. I'm actually a bit worried as I have lost 3 pds already. Haven't even gotten sick at all. I think it's because I am eating healthier. But I am on the low side of what is considered a "normal" BMI to begin with. I'm not sure.

A question: Did you ladies get Flu Shots? My RE hasn't mentioned anything. I'm not sure what to think about it. There is so much conflicting info on the topic.

Lisa morning sickness tends to not kick in until 6 - 7 weeks if you do get it.

My bump is massive and causing me a lot of pain. Had to go to hospital last week cos of it and have been diagnosed with SPD Got an appointment on Wednesday with my consultant to discuss a possible induction before my due date.

However I'm half convinced I won't make it anyway. When I was pregnant with Max I had my bloody show at 36 weeks exactly and I dunno if it's coincidence or just what my body likes to do but I've been bleeding today. I'll be so creeped out if I lose it properly tomorrow lol.

Oh Shelli you are totally having a baby soon! Yayyyyy!!!! What were your SPD symptoms?? I can't tell if I have it or if I just have normal aches and pains! When I try to move or get up my whole body freaks out and it takes forever to walk without a funny waddle lol

Afm my bump is hugeeeee. This whole time I had only gained about 4 pounds and within the last week I'm up 11!

I don't get flu shots and neither does my kids or OH I think them sneaking in the h1n1 in the reg shot is terrible...I have bad feelings abt h1n1 vaccines...produced too quickly with not enough testing in my opinion.

 

[Hayaddie]

Oh I forgot the flu shot question! At my last appointment they asked me at least three times if I wanted the flu shot and I said no. I don't like the flu shot either so If I get the flu I'll take responsibility lol

I hope so, totally ready for her to make an appearance now!

Main symptoms are just constant pain in my back and pubic area. Especially where you get period pain, it's like stabbing all the time and it travels round to my back. Plus it's bad at night time and I can barely get out of bed to go to the toilet. Have to use the wall as support and lower myself on to the toilet using the sink lol. Basically I feel like an old lady

 

[mammaspath]

i cannot beleive its almost baby time!!!!

shelli - i can imagine you holding the walls........hahaha we will all be there soon!

as far as the flu shot goes......im getting one......i actually took on a flu clinic job this season and as long as you don't do the nasal shot you cant get the flu..its a dead virus!.....and its going around bad this year.

Hey Ladies,
So I went to the doctor last night to get my results from my 20 week anatomy scan. She was telling me how everything looked good except that there was a discrepancy with the picture of the heart. She said that there was a line that they usually see that the tech put a question mark because she didn't see it. She said for me not to freak out that she just wanted me to go to another hospital and get a better sonogram on a more high tech screen to look at the heart. Of course I freaked crying all night. I mean she had just finished saying how my risk of Downs was like 1 in 12,000 or something and then she said this was a potential marker for it so I was just like what the hell is going on. I am trying really hard to just think that maybe the baby was just being active and they didn't get a good enough picture. Its so hard not to get nervous because I already feel like a Mom and I just want my baby to be healthy. I have to call today to make the appointment. My doctor, Husband, and family all didn't seem as concerned as I was because the doctor said that usually with downs syndrome it wouldn't be just one issue it would be a bunch of issues like the fingers would have something wrong and the brain and what not. This pregnancy stuff is hard! Its such an emotional rollercoaster! I am a worry wart to begin with and I was looking forward to a great report so I could finally relax, but hey I guess this comes with the territory of being a parent right?

Hope all of you are feeling well and welcome Lisa yayyyy

 

[jf1414]

PS they gave me the Flu Shot last night at my appointment. I felt ok about it since it was my OB giving it.

 

[threemakefive]

No worries JF my sono couldn't see the heart well enough to mark anything off as ok with it!!!! I go on the 10th to have another look but my dr said some machines don't work as well and baby is still small at 20 weeks so not to worry!! I bet all is great!!

 

[mammaspath]

jf- just for another reassurance this same exact thing happened to another girl on another thread i am on.........her baby is just fine......im sure everything is just normal.......i hope that helps

 

[jf1414]

Thank you for the reassurance...

They are sending me for a fetal echocardiogram to look at just babys heart and then I have to get another sonogram by some specialists. I am totally freakkking, I broke out into sweats and had like a nervous breakdown after I got off the phone with the nurse, because they were like we definitely want to see you this week. Ughhh Scarrrryyy.

Amy what thread was that?

 

[mammaspath]

[jf1414]

Thank you Amy. Sounds like a similar situation but doesnt look like they sent her for another Sono? Mine is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:30. I am so scared! They are doing a Sono of just the heart. I am praying and praying it was just a bad picture and tomorrow they see all good stuff. I am trying to tell myself its my Mama in heaven giving me another chance to see my baby since my last sono tech was so quick. Talking myself into that one.... just need my mind eased! I just keep worrying but trying to be positive!

 

[mammaspath]

i really hope everything goes well for u..........when is ur appt?

 

[jf1414]

9:30am is my echocardiogram which is a sono of just the babys heart and then i have to get another sono apparantly afterwards so hopefully I get some answers.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Will be thinking of you tomorrow. I hope the scan shows all is fine and baby is well. X

 

[jrowenj]

I am positive everything is just fine, JF! Keep us updated, of course
