Well ladies, I haven't been around thanks to my cranky bean:/ I have been in and out of the hospital with BAD morning sickness (i forget the proper name of it) I am also showing, so they did a ultrasound and I have something called Polyhydromis https://www.mayoclinic.com/health/polyhydramnios/DS01156

it typicaly starts in the second trimester so were not sure why its starting now, can be a sign of a birh defect.. But not worried about that just wanna make sure i have a healthy bean!

but wanted all you ladies to know your in my thoughts!

 

[Mrs__P]

Morning Ladies.

HAPPY LIME WEEK!!!! Oh my goodness its going fast!!

I haven't been on for nearly a week!! I have been poorly. (3 days of sickness) not sure if it was MS or not but its gone now thank god.

Joey how did your scan go?? Excited to hear some news!!

Mammaspath, sorry to hear your MS is still bad. I only had 3 days of feeling ill and thought i was dying!! You're a right trooper!!!

So names already huh!!! We have already decided - Olivia for a girl and Jack for a boy .

Kim, I hope your BF is all settled in. At least you have another 6 months together before baby arrives. Time to smooth out any rough edges. hehe.

Kate thats brilliant news about your mom. Least you can now enjoy christmas knowing you will have a date in Jan.

I haven't really thought much about finances yet. I know that I get a really good maternity pay though. It'll be when I go back only part time after 9 months that my wage will drastically drop and we might struggle a bit. But if we'd waited til we could afford it then we'd never have kids!! My thoughts are that people always manage no matter what. And our parents are so supportive too. We're very lucky.

Elaine - I am so sorry to hear your sad news. My thoughts are with you and i'm sending lots of hugs.

Jill that is such sad news about your friend. My prayers to her and her family. It must be hard trying to spead your good news when someone else is feeling so down.

We told our parents this weekend. They were so happy. I think my mum has told everyone she knows. So its out for us. Not yet told my colleagues at work but we're going out for christmas lunch tomorrow so i'm going to tell them then. A little scared as we haven't had a scan yet but it was the right time to tell.

Raising minime - That sounds quite scary but glad you are being very positive. I suppose until you know more then you will just be getting worried over nothing.

Elaine, I am sorry to hear of the news with your bean. As others said, I think the best thing to know is that God does have a plan, even though they involve heartbreaks. I wish you luck for the future, and I hope you can find peace with what has happened.

And Jill I will say a prayer for your friend.

 

[Dahlia2007]

Nicola, That must've been exciting to tell your parents! I still got nervous before I told my mom, like I did something wrong It's just that in life, you only get to announce a pregnancy a few times, if any. Anyway, it just felt odd for me, but she was really happy anyways too.


I can't believe we're limes : ) I do have a question, and I don't know if anyone else has noticed. I get sent about 3 different emails for baby's development throughout the week. They all say different sizes for the baby! It's quite confusing! One says a lime, one says 1.5 inches long, while another says the baby is 3.15 inches long! I wish they would tell you WHAT they're actually measuring. I seem to think some of the measurements are crown to rump, while others are the size of the whole sac including baby.

Hey Ladies

Still waiting to hear how Kate's and Joey's scans went today!!!!

Nic so exciting to tell your parents, how did it go with your co-workers today?

Laura i hear the sizes are soo confusing, it'll be interesting to see what the scans actually say.

[kgriffin]

hey ladies
ill make sure ill catch up with everyone, just popping in quick to share some news

had my appt today, they changed my due date to july 10!! What the hell!
this puts me at 10 weeks, they used a doppler but couldnt find a heart beat, and i dont have a scan until 20 weeks, ugh, im pretty upset, the doc said not to panic, but its pretty hard. they are sending us to a geneticyst (sp?) due to my dh's past with having a stillborn at 9 months, they want to ask him questions and look into his DNA, hopefully all goes well.
anyways, im kind of nervous, i called the doc back and requested a scan for a sooner date, but i havent heard back, hopefully i will

 

[klsltsp]

Hey Kate

no need to worry, at my 10 wk apt last week they couldn't find the heartbeat either. My best friend is a family doc, she said she doesn't even try before 12 weeks because it's so hard to find.

Hope all goes well with the geneticist, it's good that they are being proactive.

Kim

 

[klsltsp]

btw, why did they put you back a week?

 

[Dahlia2007]

Kate,
That would be discouraging, but don't let it ruin your day! I think that's pretty normal for that time then, if you're pushed back to 10 weeks. Looking in my baby book, the size changes dramatically from 10 to 12 weeks, so it makes sense that it would be more difficult to find a hb at 10 weeks. Good luck getting a scan! I didn't know we were both in the same position of not getting a scan until 20 wks, but I am going to request one at my 12 wk appt. I hope all goes well with your husbands DNA check

 

[kgriffin]

thanks kim and dahlia

kim - they pushed me back a week due to my 8 week ultrasound when i was meaasuring at 7 weeks, kind of upsetting, because i would have had to get my bfp at 3+0, which just wouldn't happen. so much to think about
i work wih medical imaging departments at some local hospitals, so im going to ask for a favour to get an ultrasound earlier than 20 weeks, that is so frustrating, sim sorry you have to wai dahlia

kim - glad you have that family friend, what a relief!!

 

[joeybrooks]

Hey ladies, just been catching up.

Elaine, I am so sorry to hear your news, I am sending lots of hugs and prayers your way xo.

Jill, your friend will also be in my thoughts and prayers.

As for my scan..... OMG, it was amazing. I was so worried in advance as I just didnt feel any connection to the baby etc, but when I seen it on the scan, I just loved it. There wasnt a massive amount to see, it was a white blob, but it was wiggling around like mad and the heartbeat was good and strong. The OB didnt say a lot, which I take to be a good thing as I am sure he would have had to talk me through some stuff if there was anything wrong.

He said the baby measured at 10wks 2 days and that at this point I couldnt expect to see a great deal anyway and that on my next scan there will be much more to see. I have another scan scheduled for 20 Feb 2012 - looking forward to it already. I finally feel pregnant!!!

 

[Mrs__P]

Joey thats fantastic news. I am so excited for mine next week now!! I suppose its the first time it does feel real. I think i'd better take some tissues!! So glad everything is ok.

Kate, I've heard that they sometimes will use 2 scans to date you early on so you may find at your next one that they put you back forward. Things can vary I think. FX'd you can get one earlier than 20 weeks! That is so far away!!

Laura, I get a bit confused about the size too. I have a day by day pregnancy book that has an actual size photo on it. It only goes to 12 weeks though. Its very exciting now. I can feel my uterous more and more. Its quite strange though cause sometimes I can't find it at all!

Telling my colleagues in 1 hour. Looking forward to sharing the news. Not sharing on facebook yet as I haven't told my friends. I won't see them til new years eve so hoping to hold out until then.

I hope everyone is doing ok!!!

Not long until first tri is over.

[kgriffin]

glad to hear Joey

Nic - glad yours is next week, it will be so exciting! let us know how it goes showing your colleagues!

 

[biliboi2]

I told some close work colleagues today. They shrieked and kissed me! X

 

[RaisingMiniMe]

I had another can today also girls! were scanning fools! my babys a growing crazy bean! And is bouncing like nutz! All is well with the world for now!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Great to hear all the scan news coming in. Kate & Laura hope you both get one before 20 weeks.

I have been told I wont have mine before christmas now. Gutted as that could mean another few weeks as I am working between xmas and new year and probably wont be able to get time off. Plus we wont now tell any of the friends and family we'll see and so wanted to tell them when we see them face to face We are going to look at private scans if we can afford it.

Nic hope it went well telling your colleagues.

[kgriffin]

im sorry to hear about your scan dates, how frustrating!

I am getting a free scan either tomorrow or thursday, thank god. if i didnt work in healthcare i would never be able to swing this, and im not telling my doctor either, in case she cracks and gives me one too, which i doubt. here's to hoping its good news
