@fuzzypeaches: haha I feel the same as you, it's awful! Yes you can definitely decline it, just wondered if anyone else had/will... technically you can decline everything even the anatomy u/s (??!!)
-
@QBbride: thank goodness it's not just me! Before this experience I thought other people just complained a lot. Now I know better hahahaha. Karma is a biotch
-
@fuzzypeaches: oh totally. I sailed through my first pregnancy, never any aches of pains, never sick etc. I feel like all I do now is complain but I can't help it! There are just too many things bothering me haha!
-
@mrsjyw: omg I want to go swimming so bad! There's an indoor pool in the city here, and I so want to go! I need an appropriate bathing suit though, and I can't go this weekend bc I'm dog sitting. (I have to go with DH for the first time, I'm scared! Lol). But I bet it will feel soooo nice! (I'm not talking laps, just floating around and stuff. )
-
@QBbride: I will probably do the diabetes screen but I think it would be totally reasonable to decline. My understanding is that there is a high rate of false positive results, especially on the 1 hour test, and you know your history best. I did it last time and it was fine, plus my MD husband is in favor of most recommended testing, which I can understand.
@mrsjyw: go you for swimming! how was zumba? hope your energy level stays high! I got up and did jillian this morning but I feel like I am only doing about 80% with my cold. Something is better than nothing, right?

Hi All,
So exciting to read all of the updates. Thank you again for the positive thoughts
My initial biopsy was booked for mid February but I got a call yesterday and I was moved to this Friday. I am nervous but happy to have answers sooner.How far along? 18 weeks!
Team? We find out next Wednesday
How are you feeling? Symptoms? Overall I am feeling OK - I get pretty tired around 5-6 pm and I have to pee constantly.
Upcoming appts? Anatomy ultrasound Feb 4th and MW appointment Feb 18. I also need to book our hospital tour.
Who have you told? Pretty much everyone knows. I don't have FB but I did post an IG announcement.
Any cravings? No, not yet.
-
@Reese: will be thinking of you!!! The sooner the better so you can hopefully relax!!
-
@MamaCate: here he midwives don't even send you for the 1-hour test because the false positive rate is soo high! So it's usually the 2-hour test (which I understand, since it's diagnostic). Anyways I'll see what my midwife says but I'm assuming my midwife will be supportive. Of course if she recommends it I would do it!
I have the worst pinched nerve or something in my neck! I've had it since Friday and I can barely turn my head! I wonder how I'll drive today haha! I'm going for a massage this AM so hopefully it will help.
-
Got my Doppler, and it's awesome! Can't wait til DH gets home so he can listen too.
it was only about 50 bucks, so worth it!
-
@QBbride: those are the worst!!! Shoulder check pain lol. I find a hot pack can help too!
@TheSwissWifeStyle: I have one too. I loveee it! I got mine on eBay during my last pregnancy and I've definitely gotten my money out of it!
-
@fuzzypeaches: @TheSwissWifeStyle: Doppler lovers unite!! Mine only came with a little container of gel and I am basically out. I need to go by the pharmacy and grab some more.
-
@Reese: I'm just using oil! I have some tropical oil stuff, but I think you can just use baby oil or maybe even olive oil or something! Lol, at least my belly will be nice and moisturized!
-
@fuzzypeaches: @TheSwissWifeStyle: @Reese: LOVE my doppler
(esp since it was a free hand me down from a friend!) I just use Aloe Vera gel!
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: MIND.BLOWN.
trying that today!
-
@mrsjyw: I have oodles of that! Thanks to my fair skinned DH
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: @MamaCate: the water feels great! I didn't make it to Zumba yesterday, I was BEAT from the 20 laps. Going to head today and do some light cardio. I'm going to try and go every other day during the wk. FX.
-
@Reese: Yea works well!
Also a fair skinned DH over here. Hope you get some answers soon!
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: Since I've been finding the HB myself in the past few weeks, I'm loving mine! Glad you love yours too!
@Reese: I just use Aloe gel, same as @mrsjyw! Works great!
-
@QBbride: I am with you. My first pregnancy was a breeze but this one is kicking my ass. I try not to complain but sheesh am I over feeling like crap all the time!
-
@TheSwissWifeStyle: yay belly moisture.. my husband's grandma mixes olive oil with lotion and uses it every day so hey you never know
-
@Reese: I actually dont even use gel at all anymore!
-
@fuzzypeaches: Am I the only one without a doppler? Hmmm...how much are they?
-
Found out - were team

-
@Candy_nee: CONGRATULATIONS!! I feel like there will be a lot of little July boys! So so so exciting!!
-
@simplyfelicity: I don't have one either! Are you feeling your babe move yet? Im not getting one at this stage because I can feel him/her move... especially in the evenings!!
-
@simplyfelicity: it was $49! I got the sonoline B
I didn't use it much after I started feeling movement though, it definitely not necessary! @Candy_nee: yay!! Did you have a feeling either way??

-
@Candy_nee: Congratulations! Yay! Another boy!
@fuzzypeaches: @QBbride: Not feeling mocement yet. Probaby because I am a first timer and have an anterior placenta. -
@QBbride: Did you check out the June DD thread? They have a large majority of girls. I think July is going to balance out their month
restore the HB baby population balance.
-
@QBbride: @Reese: I was just thinking that! Theirs is all girls! It's so funny!
-
@Reese: @fuzzypeaches: @QBbride: @simplyfelicity: thanks girls! I was completely convinced it was a boy so I wasn't at all surprised to see emit validated on the screen!
-
@Candy_nee: wahoo! Due date twin and team
too! Congrats!
-
@simplyfelicity: No Doppler here! I felt movement with my first pregnancy by about 19 weeks. I haven't felt anything yet this time around.
-
@Candy_nee: Im convinced I am having a boy too. I feel like if they tell me boy I will be excited but not surprised - if they say girl I will be shocked. Even though logically I know it is a 50/50 (sort of.. DHs side is all boys!)
-
@Reese: when do you find out?? That's how I feel about it being a girl. I'm convinced hahaha. I'd be happy with a another boy but totally shocked.
-
@fuzzypeaches: Next Wednesday!! This week is going to go by painfully slow. When do you find out?
-
@Reese: not until the 17th!!! I'm hoping it flies by because I'm super impatient! I don't have a lot to buy for the baby so I feel like doing the nursery/names etc will help everyone connect - especially LO.
-
@fuzzypeaches: Hang in there! It's almost February
-
I'm having a boy too! We're really excited, that's what we were hoping for.
My initial biopsy was booked for mid February but I got a call yesterday and I was moved to this Friday. I am nervous but happy to have answers sooner.
it was only about 50 bucks, so worth it!
