TTC after D&C (Soon)

[Kelly9]

I think you have to be 10 weeks for the NIPT so thats good timing for your apt! I'd ask about it if you're planning on having the screening for trisomy 21, 18 and 13 done it's much more accurate then the quad screen. I think it's even covered in the US for some, in Canada it hasn't been approved for coverage so though it's available we have to pay out of pocket for it and it's costly! It's suppose to be introduced here as standard I think in the coming 5 years. I would have had it done after my 20 week scan if I could have got it done living where I do but there are no labs.

GP and MJ.... Just dropping in to check on how things are going. Your guys' tickers made me so happy!!!!!

All the best to you and everyone else.

 

[3Minions]

And you too Tella?! Yay you guys!!!!!

 

[Tella]

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.

Well that is great if you found your own as well!!! then it must be your bean

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

it such a bittersweet sickness you want it but dont want it. Funny enough im entering 3rd tri and i just had a wave of nausea and was like what the hell....lol hope its just a once off thing!!!

And you too Tella?! Yay you guys!!!!!

Jip i cant believe it either at time still, then i feel her move and im like jip this is happening!!! 3 months and i will be holding my long awaited LO.

Kelly - thanks for the info. I'll be sure to bring it up at my appointment. Waiting for my OB to advise what date my appointment is with the perinatal office. They set the appointments up for me.

 

[Kelly9]

I still have doubt I'm pregnant especially when I wake up in the morning and baby is quiet! lol.

 

[Tella]

I still have doubt I'm pregnant especially when I wake up in the morning and baby is quiet! lol.

LOL that is exactly the same time for me, like this morning i actually went and lay down again to wake her up and once i got a nudge i went to shower

 

[Kelly9]

Pretty much! Except now the belly is getting big enough to not forget about

 

[Tella]

Hows all our first tris doing?

AFM > I have a jumping tummy at the moment, i would love to have a window in there to see what she does.

 

[GingerPanda]

Feeling pretty blah. I'm out of progesterone (my pharmacy is stupid). Just took 8mg of Zofran. Hmmm... What else? Oh. My "10 week" appointment is scheduled for 11w4d.

I swear, my doctor's office is full of nice people that can't count.

Probably going to be another day on the couch with the puke bowl.

 

[Tella]

Oh no man, cant you get from another pharmacy? Its annoying when they dont keep enough stock.

Shame girl, im so sorry you battling with the MS so much but it is atleast a great sign of a healthy bean!!

hmmm yes i agree they cant count, LOL you might as well wait a few days and just do the 12 week scan.

 

[GingerPanda]

I don't get a 12 week scan. They only do them if they think it's medically necessary. I'll only get one more scan I think, and that's at 20 weeks.

 

[Tella]

Oh wow that is a super long wait that!!! We get them every 4 weeks but it all comes out of medical insurance. Not sure how government works here, i wouldn't not dare go government in SA, the level of service is horrible!!

 

[GingerPanda]

Yeah, seems like only two scans per pregnancy are covered under most private insurance here, unless you're considered high-risk. Any more scans than that, and you have to pay for them out of pocket... And they're like $400! I got a bill for $800 after my second miscarriage because I'd had extra scans to diagnose and confirm the loss.

 

[Kelly9]

We usually get a 12 week and a 20 week covered by our provincial health care but where I live now (but f*ck no where) they only do the 20 week scan unless otherwise needed. I did get a dating scan because we weren't sure if I was off a month on my dates but not everyone gets one. And because I'm going to a different province to have my baby I'll likely get one more when I get there so they can see baby and have their own files etc.

Ginger ms sucks, I don't miss it, though I still get the odd wave a nausea i had it brutally for the first 20 weeks! I hope it passes soon for you.

 

[brighteyez73]

Good morning ladies,

How is everyone doing?

 

[GingerPanda]

Just keepin' on keepin' on here.

How are you Bright? How are things going so far?

 

[Kelly9]

I'm tired. Yawning all over the place.

Got my second scan results yesterday all checks out ok! Baby is measuring 3 days ahead. Maybe now I can relax a little.

Have you started stims yet bright??

 

[mj2013]

Hey ladies - looks like everyone is doing great.

Ginger my ms comes in waves now, I might get a 1 day break in between several days of sickness. Hope yours will give you a break soon.

Kelly & Tella - home stretch for you ladies, not long now. Kelly still holding out on finding out babies gender?

afm I'm still waiting on my perinatal appointment date. I've been searching for babies heartbeat on doppler but still can't find it yet, hopefully soon. Other than that, my belly is starting to grow. With my first I didn't show till 5 months...... so much for that this time around.

 

[Kelly9]

Oh yes we don't know the gender and won't have another scan maybe at all though likely they'll do one close to my due date when I get to Nova Scotia since they won't have my prenatal file from here but if someone gives it away in that last week or two I'll be so mad! Besides I've pretty much decided I'm having a girl.

Spent the last 2 days setting up the nursery/Lexi's room since they will share, can't add things like a name to the wall or order blankets and some sheets etc until baby is born but thats ok. In the mean time knitting up my last of 3 newborn hats for the big day and sewing some newborn layette sets in boy and girl fabrics.

My friend is currently 10 days overdue with her first so waiting on her to pop so we can find out if baby is a girl or boy and send a gift!
