TTC after D&C (Soon)

[GingerPanda]

Yay for a good scan!

Haha, MJ. I keep getting the feeling I'm having a boy, but I keep trying not to be biased. I don't want to be disappointed if I'm wrong!

Ginger - I'm kinda feeling like a boy for you

 

[Kelly9]

I don't know MJ I just see a boy in your future, my accuracy isn't terrible but it's not absolute! Lower heart rate to for earlier on so definitely saying boy. With my son his HR was lower throughout the pregnancy with my girls it was higher.... even this pregnancy baby's HR has been around 155-160 this far along. Yay for a healthy scan! Also ms was much shorter and less intense with my boy.

Ginger i can't guess for you yet... need to wait a bit longer to see symptoms etc.

 

[GingerPanda]

Sick as hell and bloated 24/7. No acne, though. My sisters were sick with their boys, but not their girls. My mom only had girls and wasn't ever sick. I'm guessing the HB was 140-150bpm. According to the Ramzi method, it is a boy.

 

[Kelly9]

Its so funny how that works and is different with others but I'd use my families experiences to gauge if I were you. My boy I wasn't sick (just short lived nausea) but had horrible acne great hair couldn't eat steak and wanted beer, lower heart rates, the runs for all of first tri! With my girls I had nice skin, ok hair, terribly sick, high heart rates, could eat steak, didn't want beer, had friendly happy bowels.

Had my scan! Baby is still breech but overall I think it went well tech didn't say much but I'll get a copy of the report in 9 days at my next prenatal so whats a few more days waiting!? Now to try and get this baby to flip!

Happy 29 weeks kelly hope the little rascal turns quickly and you dont have to stress. i think skylar is also breech still going by the movement is still mostly at the bottom same as 24 weeks.

happy 8 weeks for yesterday ginger!!!! i didn't have any sickness, skin is fine and hair. also not a fan of red mead but thats because it has to be over cooked. ive had hectic heartburn right through. hb was also correct for me, mine was 160+ everytime he measured it.

mj, im thinking girl for you!!

afm, not much change except that everyone says ive popped and look alot bigger.

 

[mj2013]

Happy 29 weeks Kelly! Hopefully your LO will turn soon, it will happen.

Tella - I've been feeling girl too but everyone around me is feeling boy. I can't wait to find out!!!

Ginger - how are you feeling? My ms is back but not as bad as the beginning.

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm on an increased dose of Zofran. Still pretty shitty, though. It's all worth it if everything's going well!

 

[Kelly9]

Tella start trying to palpate your stomach you should be able to start making out hard lumps like bum and head and the spine! I think I started being able to feel baby through my belly and distinguish about a week or 2 ago. I also think this baby is back to back as for a while I could feel the spine but haven't been able to for a while. A lot of my movement is down low to except a few small ones up top likely from her hands. I"m going to check out spinning babies.com to see what I can do to encourage a head down position, I have no desire to deliver breech and even less for a section.


Yup 29 weeks! One more week and I'm 75% there! A little hard to believe but it still feels like time is dragging. Baby is 2.5 pounds!

 

[GingerPanda]

I found the baby's heartbeat with my doppler!

 

[Tella]

WOW that is super impressive!!!!!!!!!!! Its the best sound ever!!!

 

[GingerPanda]

Really, I found two heartbeats, one of the left side of my uterus, and one on the right side where the ultrasound tech said the baby was. They're about 2.5-3" apart, and you can't hear anything between them.

Maybe one is the placenta, but it seems weird the placenta and the baby would be so far apart this early in the pregnancy.

Maybe it's a twin.

The nurse on the phone said she doubted it was a twin.

 

[Tella]

What did it sound like? So early it sounds like a train so very fast. It could be that you finding your main arteries on the left and right.

 

[GingerPanda]

It sounded like a rhythmic wooshing. Fast, like 140bpm.

 

[Tella]

I found that the swooshing one was my arteries and my HR went up because i tended to hold my breath to listen more Maybe Youtube a clip and compare that gave me a good indication, its so hard. Also what i found, if you can find it every time in the same place it is most probably your own HB.

 

[GingerPanda]

I can't find it anymore.

I was watching a YouTube video to help me find it, and what I was hearing sounded like what she was getting.

I also found my own heartbeat, and it was about 70.

 

[Kelly9]

yay for heartbeat! It could be a lot of things but I doubt it's a twin since you had a scan already lmao! Though weirder things have happened!

 

[Kelly9]

Mj will you do NIPT because of the ivf? If you do you can find out gender in first trimester!

 

[mj2013]

Ginger - yay for heart beat! I hope I'll be able to pick up my baby's heart beat on my doppler soon. I tried yesterday but no luck yet.

Kelly - I'm not sure, I am supposed to have my first perinatal specialist appointment in 1 to 2 weeks, so I guess that's when I'll know what additional tests they'll be doing.

Afm I'm back to feeling super ill. I feel worst running around doing errands and working than laying still in bed but either way I'm not feeling too well
