Thanks ladies!

Just back from my US and bub is fine! Kicking away on the screen (wish I could feel it!!) and measuring 8.5cm which is spot on for me being 14w 3d.
The only concern fo me however was the heart rate was only 132bpm - it was 156 the last time - I cant help worrying! I know I should be thankfull that it was BEATING!
Only 3 weeks to go till my 18 week scan! Bring it on!
Thanks so much for all your support! Its so awesome to come on here and just air all my fears and have ppl who have been through the same thing! And who dont think im THAT crazy!!
Love Kate

Very glad to hear that all went well at your u/s Kate! Did the sonographer comment on the heartbeat? I hope the next three weeks pass quickly without too much worry.

Thanks Lucinda,
I can sleep a bit better tonight!
The sonographer said that 132 was good - so I guess I have not much to bo worried about! I have read that anything b/w 120 - 170 is fine. Fingers crossed!
Thanks again.

Thats fantastic news Kate. My dd was hovering in the 130 range and shes just fine!

Yay Kate

I'm so glad to hear you had a good u/s, and that h/b sounds perfectly good to me! Told ya I'd bring you luck

And I agree with aussienic, maybe it's gonna be a bubba boy! My theory is that boys are fundamentally soccer players... you know, the old "fall to the ground, I'm hurt, I'm hurt". 2 mins later, get up "oh i'm fine now". So they freak us out during the PG with the symptoms (i'm hurting... i'm bleeding... etc.), and every u/s, they're there waving "i'm fine, i'm fine"!!!!! That's exactly what my lil' troublemaker has done for us!

And good on you for getting the reassurance you needed. You're the only one living in your head (that I know of!) and at the end of the day, it's about making sure that YOU feel ok! I've even bawled in a crowded Dr's waiting room in order to get a scan (oh such a proud moment that one! )... but I got my scan and set my mind at ease (oh and entertained all the waiting patients!!!!) - see now you know you're not crazy when you hear what i've resorted to!

Anyways, only 3 weeks till the next scan, so just you hang onto that scan afterglo, and remember, I'm still your lucky charm

Sleep well!!

[Jakabella]

OH LADIES!

Thanks all so much for all your kind words and all you lovely advice and support. I can even be a crazy crazy lady!!
Now I only hope that I can give as much back to you all as you have given to me!!
Here is to a wonderful journey for us all at what eve stage we are at!
Love Lots
Kate

[tan32]

Glad everything went well.
Dont think youre crazy as they say if ever you are in doubt go get it checked out.

[aussienic]

Congrats I am so glad it all went well..

As for the HB. If I am right and can remember correctly the HB will still be a little up and down at this stage. Plus that much of a difference isn't much at all..

now for the guess of sex.. I am going to go with boy all my boys heart beats were at 130 and my girl was 160..

So glad you got to see your bubba

ps did you get it rebated n medicare or have to pay full? just curious
