Hellobee Boards

@magnolia: She's only 18 months. I did ask her to kiss the baby and pointed to my belly yesterday and she did and hugged it. too cute!

Hi ladies! So sorry I've basically dropped off the planet for a long time, but life is crazy and my m/s has been seriously kicking my butt! But, I had my second Dr appointment today and got to see baby for the first time. It measured in at 10w4d, so right on schedule for my due date. We got some pretty good shots, especially this one of it waving hi

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

***Next appointments are on June 6 (NT scan) and June 26 (Dr visit) ****

@MrsScallop: Nice shot!

I'll be honest, I've been a little stressed out about the potential for a miscarriage the past few days. There was a thread a day or so ago about how some women didn't know they'd miscarried until they went in for the NT scan at 12 weeks. We're not doing an NT scan, so at my first appt (at 13 weeks), the doc will attempt to find the heartbeat via doppler. What if she can't find it? Then I'll have to go to another place to have an US, I guess, to confirm a miscarriage (no US at my doc's office). Just stresses me out thinking about the possibility.

I'm trying to tell myself that, if I do miscarry, it's not because of anything I did or didn't do. It's because this baby wasn't meant to be born. That there is/was something wrong that made him/her not viable for life outside of my body. That makes me feel a little better.

@MrsScallop: So cute!!! What a great shot!!

@winniebee: Hmm... well now you've got me wondering! It just seems like it's gotta be too early to feel anything, but I do know the baby is measuring large, so maybe??? Guess I'll have to see if I continue to feel anything or not.

@allison: I'm not positive, but I think it's probably pretty rare to get to 12/13 weeks and have a missed miscarriage. I think most miscarriages happen fairly early on and the body is usually pretty good about dispelling everything. I don't know the actual stats, but I think your chances are good that everything is okay!!

@winniebee: yeah, I feel like crap too, so trying to take that as a good sign.

Haven't posted in a while again! Morning sickness has been brutal this time around and I've had some kind of sickness on top of it almost the whole time (3 colds, and the flu). I'm 12+1 today and we heard baby's heartbeat for the first time last week! I've had 5 ultrasounds so far and they all looked great! I didn't find out that we had lost the baby until 11 weeks last time (passed at 9), so I'm thrilled to be past that point with a heartbeat! My office does the 1 hour glucose test in the first and third tri and I failed it so I'll be doing the 3 hours soon. I'm fairly certain it's just a fluke but fingers crossed I pass that.

My next appointment is June 17th and I'll be setting my anatomy scan up in the next few days, just waiting for the peri to call me.

In other news I had my blood drawn for Panorama 5/14 and got the results today! Low risk for everything and we are having another little boy

@sandy: Thanks! We were in a rush that morning so without thinking I grabbed a granola bar and Capri sun for breakfast, I realized after those weren't the smartest choices! Stupid capri sun cravings They also drew my blood at 50 minutes instead of the hour so I have hopes it was just a faulty test. I'm so not looking forward to the 3 hour though which is why I'm putting it off until next week!

@cram88: Oh my gosh, congratulations!!!! So jealous you know the gender already!!! And so glad to hear all your u/s have gone well and everything is looking good! Bummer about having to do the 3 hour glucose test though!

@winniebee: Since Holden and T are twins maybe we'll have twin boys for #2 as well

Hi everyone! I've been a lurker for awhile but am FINALLY posting! I am due with my first on December 2nd and so excited! I do have an 11 year old step daughter who is looking forward to babysitting.
So far this pregnancy has been too easy so I've been worried about whether or not there was really a baby in there! Was so glad to hear the heartbeat at 12 weeks so now I know this is real! I haven't had any morning sickness, just been a little tired but not overly.
We told the parents on mother's day and will probably tell the rest of the family around father's day. Telling friends when we see them, although my husbands been telling everyone, lol, he's too excited to keep quiet.
Next appt. is June 17th and my first ultrasound is July 14th. Hoping to follow this board a little better now.

@Adira: Thanks! This will be the first grandchild for my parents, so they are pretty excited. My mom is antsy to start telling people as well and is going through all our (mine, my 2 sister's + brother's) baby clothes to see what she can pass on to the little one.

@snowjewelz: Yay!!!

@cram88: awwww congrats on another little boy!! That is so exciting.

Is it possible to feel movement yet? I'm 14 weeks today, and last night while I was trying to fall asleep I could have sworn I felt something similar to a fish swimming around in my lower abdomen, like between my hipbones? Or maybe I was imagining it haha

So far I have felt good for two days (knock on wood) and am praying SO HARD that this is where it gets better! Second trimester goodness, please kick in soon! We get our anatomy scan June 30, and I am so excited. I have no clue either way whether it will be a boy or girl, so I'm really excited.

Anyone else (still) having miscarriage nightmares? I hate that almost every night I have a dream that my baby has died and my body hasn't registered it. Not a fan of this at all

I'm eating lunch at 1030 and that's how my day is going so far!

@Adira: is it bad that I gage how many weeks I am off how many you are. I keep forgetting I am pregnant and I cant ever remember how far along I am!!

@Adira: I noticed my stomach today as I was getting dressed- I think the baby is just pushing my fat out more! I should put the weeks in my calendar- smart!! You are due 12/16? right? I am only 3 days ahead of you- at least someone will be keeping track (and I mean you!!)
