Hellobee Boards

@Marley OMG I'm so pleased for you!! But your OB has left me speechless. I would be filing a complaint. What a stressful experience you've been through. So glad your little bean is okay

@Marley I guess she'll be feeling guilty when she finds out you are still pregnant and baby is well. Still I'd lose a lot of faith in my doctor if that happened.

@Wishingforviolet: @ocean81: my husband left the office an angry voicemail. She called back but I missed it. She left a vm saying that she hasn't seen the reports yet, but that it's good that the tech told me that she saw a heartbeat. She sounded skeptical. On with the new OB search!

@MrsDragon:

I had my first appointment with my new OB today and I really like her. My heart sank when the nurse couldn't find the heartbeat using the doppler at first but when the OB came in, she tried again and managed to find it for a few seconds. Both my missed miscarriages were discovered around this time so I can't even describe how relieved I feel. Looking forward to the NT scan in 2 weeks.

@catlady: Glad they were able to find a heartbeat with the doppler, even if for a few seconds!
They didn't do an early ultrasound?

@catlady: why does it seem like there are so many people who don't know what they're doing?? So glad your OB found the heart beat finally!

@wheres_c: I'm not on progesterone. My levels are ok and my hcg is through the roof. My OB called and she wasn't apologetic at all. She admitted that she didn't even order the hospital scan for the heartbeat, but only to rule out an ectopic or molar. So glad the tech went ahead to check!!!

@marley: I can't believe your OB didn't even apologize. I would be livid.

So....we went for our scan on Friday and we saw two little heartbeats! Both are measuring 6w4d so our due date is 2 Jan but because they're mono twins, it's a higher risk pregnancy and they will most likely arrive earlier in December. We are feeling so blessed right now

I have so many questions to ask and my lovely midwife has managed to re-arrange her appointments to fit me in earlier next week. I will be under obstetrician care as well as having my midwife looking after us. Finally had some time to start reading about twins and because it is still early we will have to wait to find out if they are in their own amniotic sacs or not. Trying not to worry too much and just want to enjoy this crazy surprise. We are just so over the moon with joy

@marley: I am still so angry (and happy) for you. Any luck with a new OB?

@Wishingforviolet: That is so exciting! Congrats!

We had our second u/s this morning and unfortunately we have a vanishing twin who stopped growing sometime early last week. The other baby was measuring right on track with a good heartbeat, so that is a comfort. I feel sad but in the end relieved that it was definitive. Twins would have a been a wonderful adventure, but also quite challenging during pregnancy and beyond, so we are happy to have one little bean in there.

@GreenThumb: I'm so sorry about your loss. Hugs. Glad your other baby is doing well.

@marley: That's great you got to hear it!

@marley: @catlady: @ocean81: Thank you ladies!!

@marley: I am so glad that everything has turned around so much for you.

AFM: I called my OB to book my initial nurse intake appointment and they didn't have an opening until I am 9w6d... ugh! I hope I can actually get in with the doctor fairly soon after that... luckily I don't need a dating u/s, but I want to make sure I get my 1st trimester screening/NT scan scheduled in a timely manner!!

I just got back from my first OB appointment. All the standard tests (pelvic, pap, blood, urine, etc) seemed fine, but they don't have either heartbeat or ultrasound equipment at the office. She referred me to an external site for a dating ultrasound, so I have that next week. It makes me nervous seeing so many of you with more tests so much earlier than me (I'm already almost 9weeks), but since I'm low risk, I guess I just have to be patient

We plan to tell my family this weekend, and I'm so excited for that!

Picked up a prescription for Diclegis. Going to take the first dose tonight.
If it doesn't make a difference tomorrow my OB said to go to L&D for fluid replacement.

@wheres_c: Good luck and hope you feel better! It did take a few days for it to work for me too. I lowered my dose today though and am feeling it now.

I am 8 weeks today and the last couple of weeks I've had nausea off and on, but today. Oh today has been terrible! I've been dry heaving all day. Eating has been a chore. Nothing sounds good.

And I already look like I'm 4 months pregnant. I'm having a hard time finding clothes to hide the bloat! I've been wearing lots of flowy dresses and I had to go out and buy maternity slacks.

@MountainBaby: I was seeing an RE for fertility treatments which is why I had such an early ultrasound (at 6.5 weeks). A friend of mine didn't have her first ultrasound until 10 weeks. I think that is the more normal range if you have no complications.

@marley: the first trimester is so tough. I haven't been able to eat any vegetables for the last week. Just thinking about them has me dry heaving! I was able to choke down some salad last night so at least I ate something green. I've been eating a lot of carbs and fruit. Hopefully once we get into the second trimester things will get better!

First day on Diclegis and first day not throwing up! Yay!
It did make me sleep ALL DAY though (sorry boss!).
Hopefully I'll get used to the drowsiness

@wheres_c: Oh good - I'm so glad you've found relief!

@KT326: I haven't actually been sick, but the thought of vegetables (raw at least, especially salads) makes me gag, and DH thinks I'm being a big ole faker. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a veggie aversion!!
