Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[bagpuss19]

I obviously have baby brain already as my appt is tomorrow

Another day to wait but then I think each day is a milestone so I think if I can get a scan showing me past 6 weeks that will be the biggest milestone of all

Hi Ladies - just wanted to post some pics from my scan yesterday. Unfortunately baby either had an arm, a leg, a hand or the umbilical cord across its face from every angle that we tried but we got a couple of pics. I also took a screenshot of when baby kicked its legs right up. In your opinions, is this what I think it is???

Girl!


Went to gp feel a bit flat. She was very nice and basically said to phone Epu. She took some blood for hcg and said they could use the results for comparing and that they would probably scan me Monday and do further scans to see progression.
Phoned Epu who said blood test only useful if something went wrong so they could use it for comparison and that since I didn't know how far along I was they would use my positive preg test so that makes me 5.5 and they will only see me at 8.5 for a scan. Another waiting game I felt so positive when I came out the gp that the ball was rolling and now I have to wait three weeks
Why don't these people communicate with each other? throughout this whole process it seems everyone says something different about everything and sometimes within the same department!!! Ugh!

Ah Bagpuss, so sorry you feel this way. I agree with them that a once off blood test will be of no use at all. My doctor has always sent me for bloods 48 hours apart as, if your HCG is doubling in that time frame, it is a very good sign. Perhaps you can ask them to do repeat bloods early next week to see what the different is?

Otherwise, we will all be here for you over the next few weeks to help you pass the time. But stay positive!!!

ps: amazed you think girl. I really thought it looked like boy bits between the legs. Glad it is still a bit of a surprise then! xx

Problem with gp is it took me 6 weeks to get that appt! I was actually going to discuss miscarriage but got pregnant in the interim!
Don't know what to do with myself today next three weeks are going to be awful. I'm thinking of getting a private scan at 7 weeks. Thing is I could already be 7 weeks :/

Oh manny what beautiful pics. Def look like boy to me

Sorry havent posted for ages not much happening. Hopefullu ovulating next week but who knows what my body will do.

Manny I think boy too. What a beautiful wee face- I often think the 3D scans look a bit freaky but your pictures are gorgeous!

Bagpuss, if you are able to arrange a private scan and it would put your mid at rest I say go for it! By the time you get booked in there should definitely be something to see, even if you're still towards the earlier side of where you think you might be. And if you could get one just after 8 weeks that would be great too as your risk of miscarriage drops dramatically if a heartbeat has been seen at 8 weeks.

Manny I'm with Lou, a boy!! But you never know, they say the sex organs get swollen by the mothers hormones, altho still looks boy like to me!

Bagpuss hopefully another blood test will show your numbers are doubling. It's tricky to know when to be scanned, I just took what was offered, which for me was 7 weeks.

[bagpuss19]

That's the problem epu said they won't do any it was gp that did the first for them to use. So I'm back in limbo land having thought today would get things moving!

 

[bagpuss19]

I was nearly sick today had to go sit down! Never been so glad to feel sick, hoping its a good sign!

 

[Lou15]

Excellent Bagpuss! Although hope you don't get TOO vomity! xx

 

[mah0113]

Nothing to report from my end just waiting will test Fri if she doesn't come - but not holding out much hope

Hope all you bumpys are beautiful

[bagpuss19]

Right I'm obviously meant to wait for the 8.5 week scan! I decided today to phone the private place and book in for a 7 week but they are not in next week! Did I want one for the following week.... Er let me think!
Oh we'll what's mean to be will be I will just sit here chewing my nails in the meantime

Bagpuss - I know it will be hard to wait - but just think how much more you will get to see of your little bean - I have scan pics of my boys when they were 5/6 weeks and they look like little dots by the time they are 8 weeks wow what a difference no wonder mums are so tired

AFM - Looks like I have had a 17 day cycle - started spotting this afternoon - roll on next week when I get to see the FS

I know I will get a much better view in the scan and must stay positive I just worry that something could be wrong and my body hasn't realised yet. The first mc the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks but it took till 8 weeks for me to mc. The 7 week one would have been a reassurance but as a friend said I just have to try and believe everything is fine pma and all that ! X

 

[bagpuss19]

Ugh still two weeks to wait time is dragging so slowly.
I have been majorly short tempered today like pmt which I never used to get anyone else get this? My poor wee boy was really pushing my buttons and getting the brunt of my anger ! :/

 

[mannymoo]

Bagpuss - I've been like that for 7 months now. It's a good sign as the moodiness is from the increased progesterone. My poor dh gets the receiving end of my temper. Lucky he is very patient!

 

[Lou15]

Thinking of you Bagpuss and willing the next couple of weeks to go very quickly for you. As Manny says grumpiness is a good sign although mostly I was just too nauseous to even get grumpy....but then I was exceptionally, unnecessarily nauseous! Any other symptoms at this stage?

AFM, can't believe I have reached the last ticker fruit! Although it certainly does feel as if I have a watermelon-sized something pressing up on my lungs and down on my bladder! Although I think watermelons don't violently kick the inside of your ribcage...! Every day I wake up and wonder if today will be the day...not likely anytime soon I don't think though as I'm pretty sure little man is as happy as larry in there and probably doesn't fancy coming out into this horrible snowy weather! Midwife has arranged for me to see my consultant on Tues to discuss maybe inducing me at 39 weeks given my bad nausea and pelvic pain though so we will see what he says.

Garfie, still thinking of you, keep us posted! xx
