MemberGirls, I need updates!! Any updates, appointments, (Heaven forbid) scares?
On my side my bump is really rounding out which is absolutely THRILLING. We’re talking names and putting almost all of our energy into getting into a living space so that I can nest like I’ve been aching to!
MemberI can’t believe you are 20 weeks already!!!
MemberUltrasound yester day went great. Heartbeat 164. Measuring on Schedule at eight weeks two days. Still fatigued and battling the Nausea. The numbness in my arm was terrible Monday and Tuesday, better yesterday, but started up again this morning, but hus far just my wrist today and not my fingers, which is when it’s gets really bothersome.
I got released from the RE yesterday. My first OB appoinment is June 8th. Yay.
On the ultrasound we could see ababy starting to take shape. We saw a spine, and arm and leg buds. Really cool how much has changed in two weeks time. Off to get my Thyroisdlevels tested again this afternoon. the Endo really wants to keep a close eye on the levels. I’m Hypothyroid and have been for about 12 years.
MemberI already have a doppler! My friend who just gave birth gave me hers. I won’t break it out until 10 weeks though…that’s when she said she was able to find it.
MemberI’ll update 🙂 first yay for the bump rounding out my bump (LO) gives me constant rib pain I wake up in the night not being able to move, I had an appt this past tues and everything was fine but I do have a growth us next week and a non stress test the following week, I am terrified that this LO isn’t going to turn he goes from head up to transverse and at the appt the Dr checked and said he was head up, no one seems concerned bc they said he still has time, but I just have a bad feeling and I really don’t want a csection, I am trying some of the stuff on spinning babies but not going crazy, I might try the swimming thing if I can get over to my friends house soon, anyone have ideas on how to get this stubborn lil man to move? Other than that I’m feeling ok, how’s everyone else? ok and I just have to add that I looked like a crazy person the other night, I had a frozen bag of broccoli on the top of my belly and a warm pack with a flashlight on the bottom laying in bed LOL now that’s a sight 🙂

I’m still not sleeping well. Toss and turn all night. My snoogle just isn’t cutting it, I guess. And I still haven’t felt Baby P move in over a week, so I’m sad about that. Darn anterior placenta!! I really would give anything to feel movement!!

Member@ieatunicorns: YAY for Doppler purchasing! Mine has seriously saved my sanity. Father’s day will be the perfect time for an announcement! How are you planning on breaking the news? Have you tried crystal light to get the water down? I still can barely drink plain water without gagging. Crystal light has been a lifesaver.
@kayakgirl73: I kind of loved the fact that since I was considered high risk I got an U/S every 2 weeks in the first tri. It really is amazing to see how fast they grow! We have a 5 week picture where you can barely see a dot, by 7 weeks he looked like a caterpillar, by 10 he’d become a gummy bear and then at 12 weeks he looked like an actual baby! I think it’s amazing. I’m so glad to hear that your LO is growing on schedule and you got to hear that HB!View original reply
We’re still waiting for answers on DH. Cardiologist ordered more tests….bloodwork, treadmill stress test and possibly a satellite test that monitors his heartbeats for a full month (???). He has another appt next week so we’re just playing it by ear and trying not to worry about it *too* much.
@ms sweets: LOL love the mental image haha. Come on baby, turn!!View original reply
MemberHow long TTC: Next month would have been the 2 year marker… in fact in about 16 days!
Brief TTC Background Refresher: I have PCOS with and didn’t have a natural cycle for nearly 17 months because of it. It took a year of ttc to figure out that I had pcos, 7 months to lose enough weight to get my hormones sorted (50+ pounds, I don’t remember what I was at exactly in November, but I’ve lost a total of 66 now), and then I got pregnant and had a miscarriage – a chemical because I lost the baby at 4w3ds. It took another 6 months after that to get my cycles back to a working level again and I just found out last week that I’m pregnant again!! I’m 4w4ds today, so I’m past my previous mc hump.
First child?: Yes.
How far along/EDD: 4w4d/Due February 3, 2013!
Gender: Team green for the moment. 🙂
Milestones: Nothing huge since it’s still very early, but I’ve been having bouts of nausea for the last several days, and I made it past the time frame that I lost my first child during, so that’s a happy thing!
Struggles: My struggles are my fears of another mc. I constantly wipe check and analise my symptoms. Another much more ‘minor’ struggle is that because of my age (I’m 36) and because of the fact that we had some bleeding after sex during the last pregnancy, we are holding off on sex until the 2nd tri. I don’t honestly know if I’m going to last until then! lol I want to jump my hubby all the time!
What are you most fearful/concerned about: Another miscarriage. I want this baby so much! I want my Mother-In-Law to still have some vision to see the baby when he or she is born and I know she’s not that far off of losing it completely.

MemberOHMYGOSH this is my favorite thread in the history of foreverness!!!! Seriously! I haven’t been around WB much… just lurking here & there… and I am SO EXCITED to see all of you fabulous ladies who had once been waiting and are now PREGNANT!!!
My quick background… we tried for 8 months. I had a MC at 10 weeks with my first pregnancy and had a D&C. We had to take a 3 months break, and then I got pregnant my third month of trying after that. So it was a long road for someone as impatient as me… but now I am 34 weeks pregnant… my due date is in 6 weeks!!!!
To all of you who are very early on still, especially those who had a previous mc, I was soooo worried the first 16ish weeks of my pregnancy. I couldn’t shake the “what if this doesn’t work out again” feeling. it was really rough. But once I started feeling him move (16 weeks) and got all my test results back, I started feeling a lot better. A lot of my worries have disappeared. So hang tight… it does get better! And talk to your doc about your fears. A lot of doctor have no problem doing a quick ultrasound to “check” just to make you feel better… and it’s worth it!
Ahhhh, I’m so happy for all of you ladies!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
