Audax - I hope everything is OK. I had very low progesterone at the start of this pregnancy (around 30) and asked to go on progesterone pessaries. I took them until 12 weeks. No idea if it made an actual difference, but I felt better about it.
Audax - Hun, i'm sure everything will be fine. Have you talked to your DR about it, and if he is not concerned get a 2nd opinion. Big hugs & thinking of you.
I am 17 weeks today, morph scan in 2 weeks, ob appointment tomoro, midwife next tues, its all happening. Still feeling only occasionally flutters, can't wait to feel the little one kicking me constantly. I am pretty good and not really stressing, but it will make me start REALLY enjoying this pregnancy, the morph scan will be a big relieve also. Getting a little belly, but no where near enough for ppl who don't know ie. shop assistants etc (we live in a small town) to ask. Will update after ob appointment tomoro.
Hope evryone else is well & thinking of you all xx
Hi guys! Sorry I've been MIA. I'm still feeling sick and my computer is having issues (it's on it's way out) so I don't get on much and when I do I'd rather read than post. I've skimmed through a bunch of posts but there are so many to catch up on. Hope everyone is doing well.
Other than being sick, and tired, and sore, things are going well here. DH and I are struggling to pin down some names. We decided not to find out the sex so once the baby comes i can sort through all DH's baby stuff and see what to keep and what to unload. 13 more weeks to go, woo hoo!
I was just reading about what to say to people who ask if this is your first baby. My 2 cents is you smile and say yes. Obviously it is up to the individual to respond with how they feel comfortable but I think of it this way: These people are not asking for your pregnancy history, they just want to know if you have other children at home.
I totally agree people need to be educated about miscarriage, and I am totally open and honest about mine, but I don't think the way to do it is to drop it on people asking an innocent question cuz it just makes them feel bad. That's just me though, to each his own
no more persies this evening, feeling a bit after my scan today, but to my BBs.
Ok, a bit of a me post here... I had my scan today and well, I am not feeling reassured like I would have hoped...well, the good news is, Spud is there, very active, and very shy - did not want to co-operate at all, kept putting his(?her) hands in front of his(?her) face, crossing his(?her) legs, and basically avoiding the camera at all costs.
the reason I can't feel too much is I have an anterior placenta - right across the front, so cushioning all the blows. And I realised that some of what I had been feeling, like "flutters", and "stretching" was a little bit of movement afterall.
Heart beat is 147 beats per minute
But... Spud was measuring a bit behind where s/he should be.
If we go by LMP I am 20 weeks today (& edd 8/9)
My 8, 10 and 12 week scans all consitently had me at 2 days behind (which I wasn't worried about), so I would be 19w5d today (I just couldn't be bothered, OK not that clever, to change my ticker) and my edd would be 10/9.
But scan today has me at 18w5d to just 19w which is a whole week behind where I should be, and has moved my edd to 15/9.
The radiographer was lovely, the same one as for my 12w scan, and she did say that it can be normal but depending on your circumstances, and she then said that I will probably have to come back in for growth scans - next one would be at 26 weeks I think, but obviously she wouldn't say too much, and said I needed to discuss with my ob.
So, I'm feeling a bit concerned at the moment, I mean a few days I wouldn't be concerned about, but a week! (I just keep thinking of my angels now).
My ob appt isn't now until 4/5, so I am trying to see if I can get an earlier one. Am I over-reacting? I would love some reassurance right now!!!
sorry for moaning, and having an "all about me" post!!
