Welcome to the Nut Hut!

OMG!!! Adorable Anake!!!!!!!!! Your baby looks perfect!

Thanks Everything looks fine. We got a 4th photo of something, but we're not entirely sure what it is...might be the sex photo, but it's hard to tell. Michael swears he heard the tech slip out a 'HE' once, but who knows. I don't really care what the sex is as long as little one is healthy
You can't really tell on the photos, but LO has Michael's face

Great photos Anake Will be exciting to find out the sex, even if you "don't care"

Rose- love the pics!

That's so funny what you said about chicken breast and fries- I'm the exact opposite! I've been eating a lot of roasted chicken and the thought of French fries makes me queasy! Lol!

Yay anake! I can't believe you're already 20 weeks!

If most docs don't do the first prenatal until like 7 or so weeks then why is mine giving me an ultrasound at 6 weeks?? Is it because of my low hormone levels at the first blood test? I think we're going to switch to a midwife at the end of the month.

Thanks for the advice ladies. I think OH's sister is just being touchy because ever since she was pregnant all eyes have been on her in their family and everyone is obsessed with her baby, so maybe she feels like we are kind of trying to steal her thunder or something. Also her bf left her when the baby was like a few weeks old and I think the fact that my bf and I are happy together and he actually WANTS a baby (opposite of her bf) kind of gets to her. But everyone needs to get over it!

What's funny is I originally wanted another boy (I know, I know, I have 2 already) and jay wanted a girl, now I'm leaning girl and he's leaning boy....but obviously it's not that important, but with my other pregnancies I definitely wanted a boy each time! My youngest is a total momma's boy,lol, so I think jay was sorta hoping for a "daddy's little girl" lol. We'vE had a name picked out for a girl since last time, but never decided on a boy's name.

all docs are different. A friend if mine got pregnant and didn't see the doc till week 8.

My doc that delivered my oldest didn't give me an ultrasound till around v14 weeks.

Typically at 6 weeks they can see the fetal pole and even hb ....

Some docs wait till 7 because of the possibility if conception dates being wrong.

Whether 6 or 7, ass long as they see a gestational sac, but nothing else, they'll repeat the scan in a week.

So 6 weeks just may be how your doc does things, that's all.

Fx for all the scans on the horizon!

God bless Anake !! sooo cute. Are you wearing new bras yet? My boobs are ginormous I trief a maternity bra that I used to breastfeed my son but it doesnt start to cover anything. When milk comes after delivery I will be luke Pamela Anderson.

 

[Angel wings13]

Lol confetti! With my boys, especially the first, my boobs only got real big after birth - they slowly swelled the entire pregnancy, but went HUGE after !

With last year MC my boobs were HUGE by the time I had my bloods drawn!

After o they were swollen, but have gone down a little, so I think the swelling was related to post ovulation.

Now they are a bit heavier, but very very tender.

At first I worried that the swilling went down, but they are hurting more and more and my numbers are doubling
So I'm thinking hormone fluctuations were the cause of early swelling.

I just used my last opk
I did one Saturday and the test line was SO dark, did one today and the test was crazy dark, the control line looked like a squinter by comparison lol.

I've been thinking if buying dollar store cheapies just cuz!

I had trouble finding an OB to start with and it was just the dates they gave me for my ultrasound.

You know that's exactly what I thought at first when you mentioned your sister! She's used to having everyone paying attention to her and she doesn't want to give it up. Don't let her use what she went through to bring you down! This is your time and your baby...have fun with it

I finally broke down and bought a new bra, mostly because the ones I was wearing the wires popped out of them (grrr!). Going to wait till those die first before breaking out the maternity bras.

 

[AnakeRose]

Sigh...went from being really excited to let down today...gender came back 'undetermined'. Booked a re-check on May 1.

 

[FTMommy01]

My guess is a girl Anake! Im going to guess with all of you hehe

Hopefully in a couple weeks I can have some positive news for you guys. Im going to try not to test until April 29th, we'll see how that goes!

 

[PDubs10612]

That's too bad that you have to wait a bit longer to find out the sex Anake...but only 2 more weeks

FX for you FT

FT Mommy this has got to be your month! Positive thoughts going your way!


I think I'm crazier than I should be for only being 4 and a half weeks. I was driving home from work today and almost had a panic attack thinking that I wasn't preg anymore. I kept thinking about how I don't have any symptoms and I starting freakingout. Had to drive to Walgreens for a FRER and took it the second in got home, pretty much kicking my poor dogs out of my way. Super dark, just the assurance I needed. And then I realized that maybe the super crazy break down in the car was a symptom after all.. How ironic?!?

Nut Hut City!!

 

[AnakeRose]

Dont painic girl! I didn't have any noticeable symptoms till I was about 6-7 weeks.

 

[Wugz22]

Thanks Anake. I'm totally like "please feel nauseous! Please puke! Please have throbbing boobs!"

I'm sure when symptoms do start kicking in I'll totally be like "WTF was I thinking."

Trust me I'm the same way lol! I feel like I'm pregnant for the first time!

Probably cuz it's the first time ttc

I wasn't nervous at all for my boys, and now I can't stay off
The internet, googling this and that.
It's ridiculous. I get easily stressed out and keep crying.

I switched my shift today for Thursday cuz the thought of even going to work for the 5th day in a row (I realize that's a normal work schedule lol) was enough to make me want to just quit. For me I think it's leftover anxiety about my last MC plus hormones.

I found some site about chances if MC based in how many pregnancies, live births, MC's,etc....

I actually fell in a pretty good bracket. More than one live birth but with one or more losses only Carries an "overall" risk of 13%

That risk goes to less than 3 % after hb is seen ....

Also, a lot of specialists don't really consider chemicals an actual MC.

My u/s can't get here fast enough!

I know I'm going to cry. Probably right away, before they even start cuz I'll be so nervous.

I'm tearing up now thinking about it.

Just really praying they see that hb and that it's good and strong.

If I here that the results are "undecided" I think I'll lose my mind. That's how the roller coaster started last time. I better hear "you're measuring 7 1/2 weeks, and the hb is great" so when the tears come they will be happy tears.

Oh trust me...be glad you dont have many symptoms yet. You'll be wishing you didn't when you get them!

 

[Angel wings13]

I won't even bd , because I'm scared I'll irritate my cervix and that could lead to something. I know that's crazy. But I also know while I was considered a "threatened"miscarriage, I was put on pelvic rest, so what if I didn't have sex 3 days before?

I know, totally bonkers, but even Jason has caught my craziness. When I had that weird 3dpo bleed in January, he said "it seems like 3 days after sex you bleed "....
It's been an unspoken agreement....and believe me I've had some intense sex dreams as a result!
Lol, guess I should make it up to him in other ways

Lol quit searching stuff! You will drive yourself crazy! Instead of a POAS addict you'll turn into a Search the Internet for Every Symptom (SIFES) addict !
