Sandy – my doc is having me come in next week at 9w1d to hear the heartbeat. Last time, she had me come in at 10w. I sure hope she can find it, considering it is on the early side for hearing it with the Doppler! Please let me know how your appt goes.
Hey everyone I had a quick heartbeat check appointment today but they did a quick u/s. Because my bladder was full we couldn't see too much - but enough to see baby is much bigger, had a good heartbeat and a lovely little spine (s/he had its back to us).
I had a dream last night that I ate oatmeal porridge with honey and had an ultrasound and they said "Its a girl!".
I don't know about that (have been feeling boy) but we shall see.
Apparently I will get my level 2 u/s done at 16.5 weeks right before the amnio on July 5th. Praying all is well then. I am starting to believe I am getting through teh first trimester intact!!! (nausea intact as well.. I am feeling so crap recently)
JULIE: Good luck tomorrow.
I am so glad Leslie had such a great appointment.
PS. My OB said that the second trimester is 14 weeks but that the highest risk period ends at 12 weeks.
I am having one of those hormonal pregnant woman moments. I just realized this is my last day to have ds all to myself :-( He will be starting school this fall and the girls get out of school so technically this is it. I keep thinking where did the time go?? My baby is so big. I dont want him to think he is being replaced I am know it sounds crazy I have been through this before but geez it really doesnt get any easier. Am I the only one who hasnt gotten to see my bean yet? I am getting so jealous ;-)And yes I have tried to get an ultrasound and have been shot down even with tears. I did switch docs but I dont see the new one until 6/22 tick toc. Question does anyone else have swelling already?? My hands and feet are swollen almost everyday and its really annoying. my bp is great I just dont get it, never had this before except at the very end. Any ideas? I would call dr. but which to call old one or new one that doesnt even have records yet? bad situation kwim? Oh on a good note I did end up with that promotion even with them knowing I am pregnant.yeah me.Although others who applied for it are giving me a lot of crap!! I wanted to smack the guy who says yeah but your pregnant what good are you going to do you are going to be out for at least 6weeks.I swear I wanted to slap him in the face right there and then but instead I told him it was illegal to hold that against me and pointed out that he could be in a serious car accident and be out even longer than that. He just walked away but he is really getting me poed!!! Julie and Jen I am looking forward to your positive updates today Bex I know what you mean about feeling the baby I know I have felt it also you just dont forget that sort of thing Shannon I wanted to let you know that a family member of mmine failed her tests was told baby had a 85% chance of spina-bifida(sp) was told to abort and in her heart she couldnt. he is a very healthy little boy now who may be a little slow imo but really doing great so trust your instincts. I know I couldnt do the tests too much worring for what ifs Tara I am so jealous man time flies you are already going to find out so what are your thoughts, boy or girl??? Peggy waiting for your doppler update patiently lol Carolyn I know the not so bloated feeling I kinda miss it too I really looked pregnant before now just like i am getting chunky Sandy I got my suit from motherhood maternity I think its the same place Tara got hers I have to say I am impressed I really dont think there prices are that unreasonable. I am glad to hear they can give you something for those headaches Amy So glad you are back and had a great time love the pix of you gals how adorable.btw still dont know about twins but I just dont think so maybe just wishful thinking;-) Leslie,Thanks for the baby oil tip I know I will need it I was thinking of aloe vera after sun stuff thats what the gel reminds me of Sandi, twins again wouldnt that be cute better you than me LOL sorry We made it another day ladies YEAH!!!
Carolyn, wow... great news. A bonus and a new job in one week! We need a little financial windfall too but its not likely right now. My DH left Disney Internet less than a year ago for a startup with 4 guys. He has a lot of fun but its always waiting for funding or waiting to release the latest update. Not the kind of financial security we had!
Anyway, I am definitely in maternity pants. The pressure of normal jeans makes me gag (still have the nausea and gagging over here) and I the stretchy waists are a lifesaver. I haven't bought anything new though - these are hand-me-downs and stuff from last time.
So glad Jenn had a happpy appointment this morning. Jenn, did you sleep at all? We have to stop torturing ourselves!
I have less than a month to my amnio now. I feel hopeful and kind of able to deal with what we find out but I really WANT good news. Yesterday, my OB told me that we will have teh level 2 u/s before the procedure so that will be as nerve-wracking on the day itself because it will be a lot better if there are no other downs or trisomy markers.
