Pregnant Ladies... let's chat!

[aunt_kelly]

Congrats epiclesis! When do you think you're due?

 

[Nobility]

Thanks so much everyone... Turns out it is a SCH, but a big one at 5cmx5cm... They actually told me to keep on as normal, but I went to my regular gp to ask her about it (wasn't happy with hospital) and she's said to take it easier... Baby is the right length and the heart beat is exactly perfect for my dates, so I'm happy enough with that, even though I'm away there's more risk with this for lots of things... Still bleeding a little, but I don't really expect that to disappear 100% really for a while with this sized one

And congrats! That's awesome news, even if quite big and overwhelming

Oh man! I've been praying for you! Sooooooo thankful that the baby is doing well!

 

[aunt_kelly]

Hannah, so happy for you! I've known plenty of people that have a SCH, and it just eventually goes away on its own! And, you got to see your little one again!

 

[Erinwilcox]

It's . . . . a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooo excited!!! Apparently, so is my mom. I showed up at her house with a blue gift bag with blue paper. She said, "Oh, is this color indicative of what the baby will be? It must be a boy!" She sounded excited until she opened up the bag and saw a pink outfit . . . then she SHRIEKED. She's pretty overjoyed right now.

 

[aunt_kelly]

Aww, yay!!! So excited for you Erin! I had a vivid dream the other night that I was having my gender ultrasound and it was very clearly a girl. So, I guess we'll see soon enough, lol.

 

[epiclesis]

Aww, you'll do fine! One of my dearest friends had her oldest turn one year in December--a few days later she gave birth to number 2 (very welcome, but an "oops" nonetheless). I've heard that it's easier to have them super close than it is when they are several years apart.

Congrats!

Oh wow... that was pretty quick!

We do want quite a few kids... but was hoping for a little more spaced.... thanks for the congrats!!

 

[epiclesis]

Congrats epiclesis! When do you think you're due?

Thanks!
I took a 2 month cycle and loosely cut it in half and tried to go off that... and comparing my previous cycles with previous ovulation times, and when I had negative tests, I am thinking the end of September or the first couple days of October.

Congrats! That's exciting!

I wanted a boy first (A LOT), and want a girl second (but not quite as much as I wanted to have a boy first).... and got my boy! I was very ecstatic to see he was a boy when he was born!

Stupid thing not letting me post. I do have an SCH and I'm still pregnant thanks to god. I'm not out of the woods yet as it's a big one, but trusting in god and hoping for the best.

 

[aunt_kelly]

Just a few more weeks and you're out of the first trimester, scariest 12-13 weeks of my life!

 

[Nobility]

yeah, I"m nervous about the 12 week scan though, because if the SCH hasn't gone (and even if it has to be honest) I'm not out of the woods - my doctor said to my mum that I can relax when I have a baby in my arms, and it's pretty much how I feel... I freak out everytime I cramp (stupid constipation!), even time I bleed (I have been pretty much everyday for 3.5 weeks now...) and now i have mild morning sickness to go along with it - I struggle to eat enough anyway being gluten free!

Yeah, I love the fact that I'm having a baby, but not so much being pregnant. Sounds stupid, but so far it's just been scans and only literally like 5 days with only the normal 1st tri worrying so far, the rest of it's been waiting in fear due to pain or bleeding and even doctors saying I'd miscarried. Ugh

[Niffer]

Please pray for me! I have my first OB appt on Feb 8th. It'll be the first time I get to see my baby, all we've done so far is hear the heartbeat!
I'm not particularly worried, I really have a pretty good calm going about this whole thing.

But it's still nerve wracking.

I'll report back when I know more.

Peace,

I tend to freak out before each appointment, and I can feel the baby moving some! Once you've HEARD the heartbeat, though, my doctor said that chances of miscarriage go down to less than 1%! That made me feel sooooo much better! Hope it goes well for you--seeing the baby is AMAZING!

 

[Nobility]

Gtood luck for the appt Niffer *hugs* I can understand the freaking out to be honest


I've got my first midwife appt on Wednesday (two days from this post since I'm in NZ) I'm excited about it

 

[aunt_kelly]

So was your appointment today, Hannah? Either that or soon! Exciting!

I had an unscheduled u/s yesterday because I was cramping and had some weird pain/pressure going on down there. Everything looked fine, the nurse told me it was probably just bad and different ligament pains than I've had before. It was nice to see the baby again though!

 

[Erinwilcox]

20 weeks today!!! I'm half way there!!

I've been doing "Yoga Booty Ballet: Baby on the Way" for the past few weeks, and it's awesome! Aside from the weird meditation stuff (there isn't a whole bunch of it), it takes you through cardio, weights, stretches, and some basic yoga. It feels soooo good to stretch in places that are getting cramped and tight!

 

[Nobility]

Glad baby is well Kelly

Congrats Erin!

I have an emergency scan tomorrow to see if baby is still there. I have another huge bleed tonight filling 3 pads in 2 hours (and super ones at that...). I just have to wait and see... I think I'll take a painkiller and try to sleep soon...

 

[epiclesis]

Good luck and prayers that the baby is well.
