TTC and Beyond!

[Disneybaby26]

Ashlee- I definitely hear you! The ginger pills definitely help and my OB told me recently that Benedryl also does wonders for MS, so every once in a while if I'm nauseas at night I'll take one and kill two birds with one stone!!

I had such a vivid dream last night I woke up completely disoriented, like had no idea where I was.

Yesterday I was excitied, today I'm a nervous vomity wreck...can't wait till this scan is over!

Woke up because of backache. My bed and I are not getting along Going to have to figure something out otherwise I'm going to be one miserable preggo. Nausea got the worst last night before bed. Got up off the couch to head to bed and threw up a little in my mouth eww. Had to put on my seabands to reduce the nausea so I could get to sleep. Going to try and go back to sleep, I'm exhausted.

Oh no! you poor thing! I hope you feel better soon so you can get some rest!

Scan today Kara?!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks Rachel! That's what I was thinking, too. It's just weird. Coincidence I imagine.

Yay for your scan, Kara!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Yes, first trimester screen. I'm sure everything is okay, this was the worst day of my life last April though so I'm just feeling very anxious.

 

[morganwhite7]

OH Kara, I see. I know things will go just fine sweetie. I cannot even imagine how nerve-wracking that must be for you.. kinda like birth for me :/ (we had crappy Aprils together ) It is so tough being a rainbow mama and worrying yourself sick.. Just keep praying! Can't wait to see the little pics

Just a NT scan, and then quad-screening bloodwork next time right? Just checking if I could be missing something since my next appt isn't until 13w1d..

 

[Disneybaby26]

Thanks hun, it means a lot when someone understands! The NT scan has bloodwork associated with it too, they combine that with the measurements and come up with a ratio.

You have until 13w6d to have all the appropriate testing done!

 

[morganwhite7]

Niiice, well then I should be right on time

Sending positive thoughts your way this afternoon, can't wait to hear that all is well!

AFM- Off to do a bit of retail therapy on my lunch break!! DH needs some warm clothes and baby Kilo needs a new doggie bed! (almost 8 months now, and 55 LBS!!! wtf) Be back in an hour, or sooooo

 

[asmcsm]

Thanks ladies! Been wearing my seabands all morning, these things are awesome! Only had a little nausea right when I woke up.

Kara- so excited for your apt!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Kara, I'm sure everything will be okay this time! I'm like Morgan.. if I ever get pregnant again, birth will be the hardest part, mentally anyway. I wont be ok until I have that baby in the carseat in the truck on our way HOME. Thinking of you today!

 

[asmcsm]

So, I've realized that since my apt is on Thursday, I won't be able to go back for my second betas until Monday. So I'll have a 4 day gap in between. I know I'm gonna be going crazy Also, I could be anywhere between 4+5 and 5+3 the day of my apt because my cycles are longer than 28 days, more likely the first so there won't be anything to see yet This is definitely the downside to finding out early grrr

 

[frsttimemama]

I agree with you Ashlee! I felt like I was pregnant FOREVER!!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Just got home from telling all the grandparents that they have a perfect little grand baby on the way! Everything is spot on and our risk of any trisomy is 1:20,000! So so relieved and so happy!!

Yay! So happy for you!

 

[clynn11]

Yay Kara!!! So excited and happy for you! How exciting it's announcement time!

 

[asmcsm]

I agree with you Ashlee! I felt like I was pregnant FOREVER!!

I don't really care that it seems like I'm pregnant forever, it's more just that now I have to wait forever to see anything. The first few weeks just seem to crawl by and they're the hardest because you don't know what's going to happen. Last time I was 4 days away from my apt for my first scan and I miscarried. And that time I found out at 15DPO and also had ovulated sooner so I wouldn't have had to wait so long to see something. This time seems extra long because based on my late O date I'd only be 4+5 for my first apt

 

[Disneybaby26]

Thank you so much girls!! Feeling pretty awesome!!

Ash- could you go to like a quest or labcorp on Saturday so that you'd have your results first thing Monday morning?

I could, but that would cost me another $50...I might as well wait until Monday so my insurance covers it. Plus they like to do it 3-4 days later so it's still in that time frame. I really just wish I could see the little guy/girl but it will be too early

 

[Disneybaby26]

Ooooh i got ya!! Definitely makes sense to wait for the insurance then!
