TTC and Beyond!

Love them. The polka dots are awesome! !

Love the dots but i would leave it for contrast.

Thanks ladies!
I also got a pink and white polka dot picture frame with an owl on it. DH loves them too so that makes me happy.

Amanda - sorry you had a bad visit. I would just make sure you always see your doc. I have my glucola screening at my next appt, Jan 15th. I am not excited to drink my nasty cocktail. I chose fruit punch...

Lucky you, we don't get a choice lol. We get the super-syrupy/flat orange soda concoction :/ But this would be my 4th time doing it (I had to do the 3hr last time as well) and you get used to it.

I missed y'all!!! I'm back.

A couple days late but figured I'd share my 28 week belly pictures.

And then a comparison from last week to this week... I think my bump got a little bigger and higher. Maybe lol.

And one last comparison - 28 weeks during each pregnancy. I think my bump is finally bigger than it was last pregnancy.

Lovely bump Amanda! Sorry your appointment went crappy and they seem to be slacking. Hope your glucose test goes well!!

Glad you're feeling better Nikki!!!

So I'm scared that the combination of the hematoma plus a smaller gestational sac means some bad shit could happen.

I feel sick.

VERY understandable but try not to worry yourself too much. During the first trimester I had 4 scans I believe (maybe it was only 3?) and each time I measured 1-2 weeks behind. They didn't see a fetal pole when they should have. Didn't see a heartbeat when they should have. Tried to say my due date was 10 days off from what it really should have been and I freaked out thinking she wasn't growing right and it was going to lead to a miscarriage but obviously, that wasn't the case. At my 12 week scan she had finally caught up and matched with my actual due date. Early on, they grow at such a different rate from every other bean. Since they're so small, if the tech places a marker (on the scan machine) in the slightest wrong spot, it can affect baby's measurements greatly. It's so hard to properly measure a bean that tiny on a machine. Human error is so easy with the whole process. I wouldn't worry that bean is measuring "small" just yet because it could be a whole number of things that gave you smaller measurements when, in actuality, your baby is measuring spot on for your dates

Lovely bump Amanda! Sorry your appointment went crappy and they seem to be slacking. Hope your glucose test goes well!!

Thanks!

The polka dots are my fav...think I should do them all polka dots or leave them like they are?

Love it! Love it just the way it is!

Sorry your appt. didn't go well, Amanda Lovely bump, though! FX'd for your glucose test.

Glad you're feeling better, Nikki!

Rachel-Love the letters! Personally I love polka dots lol

Nikki-I'm glad you are feeling better!

Amelia-Are you getting another scan or anything soon?

Waves-I think she sounds crappy, I don't think it's just hormones. They should have already had your glucose test scheduled a while ago, which makes me think they aren't on top of things. Claiming you don't need to come in to check the placental lakes bc you went to l&d???? That's just stupid, they were checking for that and haven't been the ones to see them this whole time. She's familiar with them, she should be checking them. Plus she doesn't give you a chance to ask questions?! That's the worst!!!! I hate doctor's who seem to have no time for you, don't tell you everything and don't ask if you have questions. Our doc doesn't really do or say anything unless she is checking something that hasn't already been checked, she just lets us ask questions. I have never felt rushed. She always waits until we say we are are out of questions before she leaves lol I wouldn't blame you at all for leaving and going back to your old doctor.

Just curious, has anyone else had their cervix measured? They did an internal u/s at our apt the other day and measured how long my cervix was. She said it was something newer they are doing and they especially want to do it since I have twins. Just curious if it's common practice.

I am starting to feel babies more and more everyday! I can feel more kicks and am starting to feel more of them from the outside. DW still hasn't really felt one, but I can't wait for her to! With two in there, I feel like there is pretty much something happening in my belly all day lol

 

[wavescrash]

I'm at work so just a quick reply but I've had my cervix length measured at every scan I've had.

 

[goldstns]

Spoke too soon. Back in bed feeling like poop. However I am determined to get my spa day.

 

[SmallTownGal]

Julie, I hope your DW gets to feel the babies moving soon! Hopefully as they get more active she'll be able to catch them moving.

Sorry you are feeling poopy again, Nikki. Glad you are still going for your spa day and I hope it makes you feel better!

 

[VivianJean]

99% sure I just miscarried. Will confirm on Monday morning but doctor is not very hopeful and based on what just happened and what I saw neither am I. Peter arrives in 6 hours.

 

[morganwhite7]

Amelia- Replied on the other thread love..

Julie- They started measuring my cervical length too every ultrasound since my bleed could cause premature labor. But all seems fine they said.. Just a precaution they take for high-risk I'd assume!

Oh and at this week's appt they gave me my glucose drink to keep in the fridge and chug before next months appt.. I chose Lemon-Lime ugh sounded better than orange I had last time.. Blech.

AFM- I DREAMT of Amish cooking/food during my nap after cleaning the house top to bottom. Think we'll go tomorrow for some homemade noodles on mashed potatoes and fried chicken. These cravings are not good!! Lol.

 

[clynn11]

Oh Amelia I so hope that isn't the case but we are all here for you

 

[clynn11]

Here's my bump/bloat update. Hate that I was in the worst shape of my life when I finally got my BFP. TTC made me stress eat, lol. I've actually lost weight so far, haven't gained. But I think the bottom of my tummy near my pelvis is starting to pooch out a little.

5 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks.

 

[wavescrash]

Cassidy - I see some growth

Amelia - I'm so sorry dear. I hope that's not the case but whatever the case may be, we're here for you.


Today on the way home with Autumn & Hannah we hit a huge pothole and it immediately blew out our tire It was pouring rain out. We pull off for OH to change the tire and I see that Hannah's had an explosive diarrhea diaper that leaked through in a matter of 5 minutes but the car was full with the girls and suitcases (Autumn's spending 2 nights & we had just picked Hannah up from spending 2 nights with my mom) so I couldn't change her in the car but since it was pouring rain out, there was nowhere outside the car to change her. OH had the hardest time changing the tire so it took forever. Hannah fought us changing her clothes/diaper when we got home and Autumn's been a bit of a brat all evening. I'm so ready for today to be over. Thank goodness I don't work tomorrow.

 

[asmcsm]

Amelia- FX that's not the case glad your hubby will be with you soon.

Cassidy- definitely seeing it rounding out at the bottom! Yay!

Amanda- ugh! Sounds like you've had a rough day, hope your night gets better
