Ok it’s time for me to ask another silly question…. I am so glad I have you ladies!

Ok so u/s went well… but this week I have felt weird…. I kind of feel unpregnant. My symptoms fade in and out in particular nausea and mood swings.

Yesterday and today I woke up feel amazing… I don’t feel sick, breasts aren’t sore no head ache.

I AM SCARED. Is this normal? Can you have symptoms come and go?

It’s 7 weeks today shouldn’t I be feeling super sick? Man I wish I had an u/s machine at home so I could be sure I was ok… it’s not fair! I wish someone would have warned me before I fell preggos that I was “going to be a paranoid nut”.

Maybe I might see my doctor today?

Be careful what you wish for! You might not be able to drag yourself out of bed tomorrow--you never know. Try not to worry--but I know it's easier said than done.

I think it's pretty normal for symptoms to come and go. I felt mostly good for most of the last two weeks (although very slight nausea almost all the time) but today has been worse again. I'm about 9.5 weeks now and keep expecting the nausea to go away (I think I remember it ending at 10 weeks with DS) but it is still here.

Thank you so much… You are definitely right! I need to relax…

Besides I just hugged someone and breasts hurt so all good. LOL

Speaking of breasts…. I LOVE MINE. OMG I am a full C cup now… too bad for DH they can only be looked at and not touched.

I think that it's perfectly normal for symptoms to come and go. If it'll give you a peace of mind talk to your Dr though.

I have another ultrasound today. Last one before the 13 week mark. Is anyone else doing the double test & nuchal scan? Also, to the ladies that get to know LO's heart rate. How do they do that? Does it come up on the ultrasound machine or do they just time & watch the heart flicker?

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

It came up on the ultrasound machine for me. . .and the doctor told us.

 

[Beauty_Geek]

There has got to be something that measures it… I had a normal scan (on my stomach) at 6+5 and we saw the little jelly bean and I saw its heart beating.

I’m always in awe of technology. I can’t image how mothers survived back in the old days. If they miscarried or were having complications they would never know.

It really is amazing when you think about it.

 

[Guenhwyvar]

Thanks ladies. I thought I remembered it coming up on the screen with my nieces and nephews but I couldn't remember for sure. Here they just say that their machines can't do it... I wonder if it's just a hidden function.

Oh well. I went in for the double test and got my last ultrasound for the next 5 weeks. We got to see little arms and part of the brain (my sister teased that at least now I have proof of a brain... oh older sisters...). When I asked about the heart rate the Dr that owns the clinic who is extremely good at his job counted the heart rate for me and said that it's about 170! Woohoo. I hope it's a girl!

 

[ksilme]

My Lo's heart rate is 168-170 too xx heard it very loud and clear on Doppler yesterday morning xx
a few of the family know now bit it is getting annoying, I was at my aunties wedding on Saturday, and I helped organise it and set every thing up on the day, and I was the hairdresser, make up, and photographer lol so was busy, and then dancing in the evening but felt fine, I know my own limits, but people who know kept telling me to sit down and stop etc, and it just really bugged me, probably more than it should have, but it was like they were saying I am not thinking about baby or caring because I wasn't sat there with my feet up all day, I am pregnant not an invalid!!! Grrrr sorry rant over
how is everyone? Xx

 

[Beauty_Geek]

Yep same here…It’s my mum who thinks I should be a vegetable! All I should be doing is eating and sleeping. LOL
Do you have your own Doppler? I’ve been thinking about hiring one. It would be nice to hear my LO’s heartbeat whenever I wanted to! When could you start hearing it?

I know, it's annoying! Yet guaranteed if I sat down and said I can't do anything I am pregnant, I would get moaned at and snagged off no end!! X
yes I bought it from eBay, it's fab, I very very briefly found it at 8 week's bit very quiet and couldn't register bpm, but on Sunday morning and 9+2 it was grill, really loud and clear, and 170 xx

My DH smells...

I am pretty sure I use to love that smell he had. But lately it's been horrible. Its not even a bad smell... just over powering MAN smell.

In fact... EVERYTHING SMELLS. I walk into my office and yup... everything smells. Now my house does too.

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Oh man, I can't handle the smells either. The hallway of our apt complex smells rank to me now. I pass people in the store and have to hold my breath. I keep lemon oil next to my bed to sniff off and on all night long just to get weird smells out of my nose!

 

[mel28nicole]

Well I had my interview about genetics today and they moved my due date to feb 21, day before my birthday! First appointment is next Tuesday so I'm excited! We may or may not listen to the heartbeat but I hope so!

You might not hear it but I was able to see it at 6+5days

 

[Whitesoxfan41]
