Ultrasound today!!!!!

I am pretty certain everything is going ok....... the 24/7 sickness is really bad, and I can hardly eat!!

I have never had morning sickness this bad, with any of them!!
My iron levels were really low, so the iron tablets have picked me up a little, but still queasy all the time.... :doh:

Blood test results were all good.... :dance:

My first worry... a healthy bub with nice heart beat.....naturally
Second worry... any clefting. I know they cant see too much yet, but if its bad it can sometimes as seen as incomplete bone structure in the face.

So, off to empty my bladder and drink a million litres, and get ready to see little surprise bubba!!!! :p

goodluck and have fun!

Woohoo for your u/s today PB :)
Hope all goes well, looking forward to hearing all about it.

oooo goodluck!!

Im not looking forward to having to drink so much in such a small space of time! Lucky the place i get my US done has a toilet attached to their rooms so when im done im in there straight away!!

Hehehe, I love the after-an-utrasound-pee!!!! :p

I hate it when they ask you to go empty half your bladder..... :o I never know how much is half....:rolleyes:

oooooo torture!!! A friend of mine had to do that with her US ... bugger that! That would be so hard, then what if you let too much out :o

best of luck today PB!

re: your worst ever morning sickness, perhaps there are 2 in there? ;)

You wouldn't believe the amount of people that say that!!!!! :lol: But I have been quite sick...

I dont "feel" it though...and when I was pregnant with Harmony and her twin, I just "knew", I also just "knew" something wasn't right, and I lost the twin.

So I trust my judgement.. a little!!! If there is 2 little surprises, the sonographer will have to pick me up off the floor!!! :ROFL:

Good luck darl!! xx

Good luck :) Hope all is well! Will you be finding out the sex with the next u/s?

GL PB.

Twins would be fab PB. I love twins. I'll come over and help:D

I love seeing bubs on the u/s. It is sooooo exciting. Let us know how you go.

Na, I dont think I wanna know this time.... it is DEFINATLY my last!!! :lol::lol:

Twins would be nice... about 3 babies ago!!!! :rofl:

oh hon...im so friggen jealous right now!!! have twin's please cause then you can give me one :D

Good luck!! xx :)

One perfect little bubba!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Heartbeat, 154bpm...... my boys have all been under 150, both girls so far over 150...

He asked if I had some bleeding..... which I did, a fair bit at 8 weeks... he said there was a small bleed in my uterus, but that the baby was fine... not sure what he thinks it is??

His dates are only 3 days out from mine, so I'm sticking to my dates!! ;)

Picking up the ultrasound and letter on Tuesday, maybe it will say more about the bleed???

Maz..... your welcome to share all my babies... on their bad days!!! :rofl:

That's great news PB :) YAY

:dance: Congrats lovely! Must be such a releif! Now sit back and enjoy hehe

YAY! Congrats hun.

My sister had some bleeding early on in her pregnancy and her 10 weeks ultrasound showed blood in her uterus, and when she went back at 12 weeks it was all gone. She's had no more bleeding.

Oooh, thanks Jodi!!!!

The only time they found anything else was when Harmonys twin sac was collapsing, but this was just a bleed. It looked like a dark blob in the uterus .... he said its fine, dont worry, bubba is all good... but Its on my mind anyway... :doh:

:leap: YAY!!!!!!!! :leap: Im so happy to hear its all good hon!!!! bugger about no twin ;) but then one of your others will do just nicely :D

Congratulations J, that is fantastic news.

Glad bubby is safe and well :) Of course the bleed will be on your mind, but try to relax:) Keep us updated!

Yay, congrats PB that's great news!

Could the bleed have been a sub-chorionic bleed? My friend had that and apparently it's fairly common and usually nothing to worry about.

Yay! Well done Mum!

I assume either it's too early to see any clefting or they didn't see any...

that's great news Jodie.. now you can relax and enjoy the remainder of the pg.

woo hoo...im so pleased for you. xxx

Oohh, forgot the clefting, sorry!!!!!

Couldn't see anything obvious, but he did remind me how early it is. But he also hinted that if it was a large clefting, (like Kanes), full lip, palate and up into the nose, he might of seen something already..... so quietly hopeful!!!!!!! ;);)

Oh that is absolutely fab PB. Might be a little girl, give then high heartbeat rate ??

I'm so happy for you. Yaaayy :confetti:

Next it's Ammaki's turn :D

yay!! Glad to hear all is well Jodes!! :)
Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy hun xo

congrats!!! so happy to hear you have a healthy little bubba in there!

can i ask what causes clefting?

Clefting..... sometimes heritary, but often not.

Is also associated with many syndromes too, like Pierre Robin Sequence or Down's. We have no family hisory of it, and have many children, so Kane was probably just a once off.
At 6-8 weeks, bubbas facial bones come together, (they are in two parts, down the middle), and in some cases, they dont join up correctly, leaving a cleft in the face. It can be just in the lip, palate and gum line. Kane had all 3, known as a Complete
Unilateral Cleft (one sided).

They say taking extra Folate can help, so I takle 5mg not .5 mg in each pregnancy. :D

Yay PB :leap: Ive been wondering about your US all weekend (had no net :()

Congrats, hope it all keeps going well for you :)

Congrats on great results, I can relate to the relief you are feeling!!! Hope all continues well. Yay, Yay :dance:

wonderful news hun, so glad bubba is perfect :)

Oh & I'm going to say "girl" due to that heart rate.... will you be doing a poll??? How exciting leaving the sex a surprise... if I ever have another baby I'd love to be able to keep it as a surprise!!!

Wishing you a fabulous pregnancy xoxo
