Teagz, thinking of you today!! Can't wait to hear all about it.
AFM had my 12 week ultrasound on thursday. Never had that one before so didn't know what to expect. Risk was 1 in 152 for age but 1 in 3650 from the screening, so I'm happy with that.
Was worried when I first went in the room because they had the big screen on and the last time I saw one of those Luca's unbeating heart was on it. But it wasn't too bad. Bub was waving arms and legs around etc so I think that helped a bit. We got some cute pictures. So I'm glad we decided to have the 12 week scan this time.
Hey Bec, I know all about anxiety! I'm OK most of the time, but if I get really crampy (which I don't really, it's ALL in my head lol) I get a bit worried. I'm still getting some pains on one side generally (like when you've ovulationg) mostly on the left side, do you get that? I know when I get a bit of cramping it means things are streching in there, so that's all good. I ordered myself a fetal baby monitor, don't know if I did the right thing, but I thought I felt lots of small pokes in there (didn't feel like gas) and then it stopped. Sooooooo, I totally panicked and went looking for the monitor. Again, I know it's still too soon to feel regular movements, but I want to hear that heartbeat! Am I being silly??????
m/s is getting better hun, I can eat pretty much when I want, although I still get a bit nauseaus in the afternoons. Tiredness is slowly disappearing, I have more energy now. BUT, if I walk around a lot, I get quite breathless and 'heavy' down there . Is that nornal??? You are so lucky not to get m/s this time around, I didn't have any last year and this year I did. I've convinced myself we're having a girl!
Hope you have a great day hun, lots of sun out there!
Hi B, I have never gotten crampy during pregnancy but lots of people seem to. The heaviness I've gotten later on. Maybe from about week 30. And it definitely happened walking a lot.
About the doppler, I hadn't thought of it myself, but I went to a SIDS and Kids support during pregnancy meeting last week and most of the women there had one. I think you should do whatever it takes to stay sane!! One of the women there was 34 weeks pregnant and said that she got one fairly early on and used it most days between 12 weeks and around week 20 when she started feeling regular movments, and not so much after that, except if she had a particularly anxious day. Sounded pretty good to me.
It's normal to get breathless... I've read our hearts have 25% more blood to pump around when pregnant! So we need to breathe more to get oxygen to all that blood.
Hi Bec, glad your scan results were good . I get anxious just before the scan as well & look for the heart beat straight away. Anyway, great news that bubs is doing well.
Hi Beata, I get 'crampy' like ovulation pain as well. In the last few weeks I'm now mainly getting pain at the bottom of my belly. From all I have read, its all very normal & your right, just the uterus stretching. It would be worth asking your OB, what pain isn't normal so it gives you more confidence to distinguish the difference. On the monitors, I was recently given one and the first thought that came into my head, was oh no! I think they can cause more stress then there worth to be honest, it depends on your approach to them. If your looking for a heartbeat to ease your mind that everything is ok, you could get very stressed if you can't find it and that is highly likely at this stage of your pg, so just keep that in mind. I have used mine a few times & haven't found the HB. I had a check-up at the hosp last wk & it took the MW quite a while to find it, he/she was hiding in such a funny position, I had to sort of roll on my side and she found it around there! Anyway, all I am saying is be aware that you may not find the HB everytime. My monitor says not until 20-wks at the earliest anyway. I am sure your little chick is doing fantastically, I still get quite worried at times as well, but try & enjoy it and know little one is doing great!
Teagz, you probably won't read this for a while but Congratulations on your wedding, I am sure it was beautiful, here's to a lifetime of happiness for you & your DH and little family (arriving soon)
