when the "30 yo ttc#1" ladies get their bfp's

[MrsKChicago]

That's great news, Reggie

I survived chaperoning overnight camp without morning sickness sneaking up on me. Hopefully I feel good through the family trip this weekend, too. If I can get through that, I'm in the clear and I can get sick in private

Good to hear you passed your glucose test PD. And by such a huge margin too. Also, congrats on picking a name, that's a huge milestone.

Good luck on your family trip MrsK.

We cleaned out our baby's room this weekend, so feeling like I achieved something. We got a bunch of baby stuff from my SIL so I need to go through it and sort it out. I'm also starting to look at day care centers here and arranging tours. Otherwise, mostly just relaxed this weekend...

yay Reggie! I passed my glucose screen too! They didn't tell me what the level was, just that it was normal (they called while I was at work and I couldn't answer so they left a message). But I am super happy!

The crib and dresser will be put together next weekend and I go on Wednesday for a growth scan. It is soooo hot and humid here today! I hope you ladies are keeping cool and feeling well!

Had my growth scan today. Baby was actually in a good position so they could get everything they needed to today! woohoo! No heart defects (I wasn't worried about that) and everything looks good. Baby is weighing in around 3lbs and is right where they expect her to be with all of her measurements! She apparently was in such a good position, the doctor got excited and got a few 3D pics! So cool! Love technology!

M that's fabulous. Our doctor always does the 3d scan with the ultrasound but I'm pretty sure they are the only ones who flip back and forth like that. Most ultrasound places don't. I go for the next ultrasound at 32 weeks on August 22. That's when we find out if the placenta has moved and if I have to have a c-section or not. So I am praying and visualizing and etc. that the placenta moves. The wait is killing me. But, I am also working on reminding myself that if I have to have a c-section that it's ok. We will see. hope everyone else is doing well. My DH is moving all the baby stuff up from the basement tonight since his brother is in town for the night to help. Then he wants to paint the nursery next week and start on that. Too bad he still hasn't decided what he wants to do with the nursery. sigh

Congrats on your growth scan, I'm glad to hear it went very well. Do you have to go for any more, or are you pretty much done?

Hey ladies! I have a question for all you that are further along that 4 weeks. Since sunday I have had this awful metallic taste in my mouth and I have also felt a bit nauseous at some smells (pimento cheese especially which is my absolute FAVORITE thing to eat!). Strong sense of smells. Now the metallic taste is gone and the smells aren't bothering me as much but I am having massive headaches and starting to pee more often. I am just a bit nervous since I had a chemical/miscarriage last time. I am feeling better because I didn't have all these symptoms last time. Well, question is, did y'all have symptoms that come and go?

 

[ladders]

Definitely have stuff that's comes and goes, sometimes my Boobs don't hurt at all sometimes they feel like lead weights. I had two days last week where I didn't feel sick and I had a complete meltdown thinking I was having a mmc and that night I felt rougher than ever. It amused dh at least lol.
Just goes to show that symptoms are not a good indicator of if everything is alright (neither are multiple Hpts so put them down lol)
I have a good feeling for you hun x

No more until 36 weeks when I start going 2x/week for NST with one of those to include growth scans each week until I deliver.

Yes, I got pictures. However, we are having issues with our scanner/printer so I can't get them on the computer. Plus, I think to post them on here, I have to put them on some public site and I don't really want to do that...

I definitely have had symptoms come and go...but I never had the metallic taste in my mouth. I think my feet were swelling today...really haven't had any swelling so far! But, today was a ridiculous day and I ended up leaving work an hour late. We just got home from dinner after interviewing a pediatrician (I think we found our match!). Now, as much as I would like to go to bed early, I am staying up so I don't have heartburn/indigestion to keep me up! Plus I want to cuddle with the pup!

Any fun plans for the weekend?

 

[PDReggie]

I have boob soreness come and go. I really had no symptoms until about 6 weeks and then BAM! So sick I kind of want to crawl into a hole and die. That lasted until around 15 weeks. Beyond that I really didn't have any symptoms. I got an all over body rash the week before I got my BFP. It didn't itch or hurt and it went away but it was probably the only symptom I had and since I had never heard of such a thing, I never put it together. My doctor said it could have been hormones. I don't think symptoms coming and going is indicative of anything. Can't wait to hear more.

Ladders - you are getting close to hitting second tri! I'm so excited!!!!! When's your appointment? Do you guys get a scan at the first appointment?

 

[ladders]

Pd I had a booking in appointment at 8 weeks but they just took blood and wee samples and medical history etc. I have my dating scan booked for the 28the so only ten days away and I'm so so excited. As we haven't had a scan iv been so worried if things are ok in there I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing they are and then finally being able to get excited about the pregnancy. Although my mc was early has really affected how iv been with this one and it's such a shame really. Hopefully will all change soon

Hi lsd, congratulations on your BFP!
I didn't really have symptoms earlier on, except some fatigue and peeing alot. Nothing else really ever came, like nausea etc. I was a little worried about my lack of symptoms, but baby's doing very well, she was perfect and growing as expected at my 9 wk, 12 wk and 20 wk scans. Hopefully that helps; symptoms don't always mean much.

 

[lsd2721]

Thanks guys. I'm just really nervous. I'm going to test one more time to give myself a better feeling. I really do feel good about this one but it's hard to let myself get excited.

So we have two girls already whose next to find out the gender?

 

[Meljenn]
