TTC and Beyond!

[Disneybaby26]

I couldn't tell if it was moving or not. My OB puts it on a big screen so it was like we were watching tv. I'm going back in 2 weeks for my 12 week scan but not doing a nt scan bc we talked about it and kinda decided it won't change the outcome for us. My OB reassured us too and said its really all about how we feel about the outcome. I'll have a 12 week scan, then 20 week for anatomy. See him every 4 weeks. DH has to get his blood checked for rh factor bc I'm a-

We are really only having the measurement done bc it's what I do for a living and the doctors at work would be like really?! Haha, wouldnt change anything for us either, more of a job-induced curiosity and preparedness thing! So awesome you only have two weeks to go in your first tri!!

ttc totally true, however, if you go at 9 weeks, doesn't mean something won't go wrong an hour after you leave. unfortunately you can never tell what's going to happen when you leave that room either.

I'm not trying to tell anyone not to do it. i'm just saying personally i'll do the minimum. Unless of course there was a problem and the mw recommended more- then of course i'd do it, but in a NORMAL pregnancy lets say, no reason to go more than the minimal amount.

I think we'd appreciate only supportive comments here in this thread. No need to remind any pregnant woman of "what may happen when they leave the doctors office". Honestly shocked you would say something like that.

My next appointment with my OB was for Sept 27th but I got a call yesterday saying the doctor won't be in the office that day & that I needed to reschedule. I called today to do so and it's now two days earlier and I go back on Sept 25th which is just under 2 weeks away, so yay.

I also asked when & how I'd get the results from my NT scan and blood work back. She said normally my OB just reviews them at your next appointment but she checked to see if my results were in. She said the baby's heart rate was 160bpm (totally the same range as both of my girls), placenta/cervical length/amount of fluid looked good, baby was measuring 13w 5d (when I was only 13+2 so my OB was so wrong to try and change my due date to 8 days later lol!) She said my TSH levels came back low and that my OB would likely just want to check them again but Google tells me toward the end of the 1st trimester, they're likely to be low because that's when HCG is at its' peak so I'm not worried. HOWEVER, she didn't tell me what the results were for the genetic testing. I'm sure all is fine but I'm just curious as to what those results were.

All my friends due around the same time as me already have appointments for their anatomy/gender scans so I can't wait to see my OB again so I can schedule mine. In less than a month (most likely) I'll know boy or girl!!! I'm almost positive it's another girl (although I want and feel like it's a boy) but my mom swears it's supposed to be a boy. She keeps making excuses as to why it has to be so I can't wait to prove her wrong (even though it's not what I was most hoping for lol.) Either way, we just want happy & healthy & I have plenty of girl clothes if need be lol.

I'm not even sure what I said to produce that response but I am about done with this lately. I am fully aware of what can happen in life. And thank you for reminding me that my baby can die without me knowing and could be dead right now. At least I would know in 2 weeks instead of way later. I feel like these threads have turned into "my way or the highway" lately and I'm soooooo tired of the negative comments. I agree with Kara, only supportive comments if you are going to follow this thread. She made this thread so that we wouldn't bombard the TTC thread with our happy updates. I was a little reluctant but after feeling a cold shoulder from some in the once so supportive thread I figured what the hell? Now it's seeping back in....I'm 2 comments away from pushing delete

I've felt the tension in the threads lately too :/ It's making me really sad. I try to only say supportive things and feel like we've all created such a great bond I don't want it to get ruined!!

I'm sorry anyone makes you feel that way ladies. I am seriously SO happy and excited for you all. I know everything will go well and I look forward to watching your bumps grow, seeing your scans, and eventually seeing those beautiful babies' faces!!!!!

 

[clynn11]

And Rachel, Morgan- scans are SO CUTE! Idk If I already said something or not but.... BABIES!!!! Eeeeeeeek! Ahhh can't wait to see my little one... one day!

 

[morganwhite7]

Hope my loud mouth never offends anyone.. I love all these girls, just wanted to get along and stay together bc (no matter if they believe it or not at the moment!) one day all the TTCers will be here. And how cool would it be to become mommies (or add to the bean collections ) together and share along the way?! All from different places from all over. Lol I just think it's cool.

So yeah keep it happy bc I will do whatever my doctor says no matter what anyone's statistics may say or what Dr. Google says. We may all make different choices in mommy hood, it's sticking together that matters! And I am freakin terrified so I will go that extra mile so daddy and I know our LO is doing okay in there. This bean is a special one, it is our miracle.

Having another scan in a week. No shame!

 

[clynn11]

Lol! Ice cream licking smiley... are you eating ice cream at the moment?!?!?! mmmmmmm

 

[wavescrash]

I'm totally starting to feel heartburn

I had it so bad with both of my pregnancies but especially the last one. I'm so dreading this lol.

 

[morganwhite7]

Ben & Jerry's Half-baked. And DH has, get this: Chubby Hubby. Lol. Oh yeahhhhh.

Btw drank an ENTIRE bottle of magnesium citrate within 2 hours and still nothing. Ugh hoping it happens before work tomorrow lmao.. Said it was the strongest laxative he could recommend me. Hm. We may have a situation lol.

P.s Waves I have heartburn too, need tums before every meal. Ha I swear it started at 9dpo!!

Gnight all

 

[clynn11]

I RARELY ever get heartburn. Like probably 5 times in my life lol.

I always say if I ever get a heartburn or bloody nose I will automatically think I am pregnant! Lol. I've NEVER gotten a bloody nose so that would be the bessst symptom to get ever! Lmao.

 

[clynn11]

CHUBBY HUBBY!!

I seriously almost spit out my soda just now, lmfao.

And OMG Morgan, I hope that helps you. Poor thing! I feel so bad for you. If I could help, I would! LMAO.
