(((Hugs))) and FX for you and that little bean @led. I think a few days can be normal at this point. I hope the strong HB is a good sign. Keep us posted!!

@led, hope the doc gives you reassuring news tomorrow.
I totally missed the tag rablissful, major fail on my end.
I am hanging in there with crazy nausea & puke fests galore. I threw up in the middle of the grocery store yesterday, hooray! I go in for my for u/s next Friday. I'll update you guys when we get the first official picture of the bean.

@led I have everything crossed for you! I opened the thread just to see your update. I'm glad the heartbeat is strong and I really hope everything turns out fabulously!

Haiiiii GKU! Thanks risscaboobs for tag!! Love seeing the beautiful babies and bumps!
I am 10w2d. I had two great ultrasounds with my RE - one at 6w4d and another at 8w4d. Both times the baby measured perfectly and had a strong, as-expected heartbeat. My RE graduated me, and I've had one appointment with my midwife. No other ultrasounds scheduled until the 20 week a/s but I'm not sure I can hold out that long to see baby again! I have no morning sickness and very minimal symptoms altogether, but I'm trying not to worry since baby has looked great both times thus far.
Here is the little bean at the 8 week u/s:
Head is to the left.
I'm always lurking, rooting for you all!! Lots of love!
cnf2013, I love your dress and think you look adorable in that picture!
I'm sad to hear how stressed and yucky you're feeling though. I know when I was teaching in a school I'd come home with achy feet, throbbing back, and either spitting mad or super sad most days and that was when I wasn't pregnant. So I can only imagine being so far along and having to deal with all that stress on top of everything. Plus it's not like you can just go take a break or something if you need a breather.
I hope your stress and contractions settle down but it certainly sounds like going out a bit early wouldn't hurt. Hope you feel better ((hug))
33w3d here. I have an appointment tomorrow. I think it might be swabbing time? I had a different person last time because my doctor was teaching a class. Everything is normal and boring otherwise. My GD is very much under control with just diet. The BH contractions are getting more noticeable since my ute is bigger. They're getting annoying!
I can see my belly jump, a lot, when LO moves around or has hiccups. That's fun, especially when you're watching TWD.
And I'm getting tired. Last week I had all the energy in the world. This week I feel like I've been hit by a truck. :/ Normal, too?
This weekend we have friends and their people coming over for a big party type thing. Gifts optional, fried chicken mandatory, drinks for the non-pregnants also mandatory. CAH and Exploding Kittens and football. Should be a fun night. They're calling it the "chicken shower" lol.

@led my first u/s I should have been 5w 4 days and she measured me at closer to 5 (but said my sac was looking more like 4w). At my second at 7w3 days I measured 7 only, but since then he caught up. My u/s tech told us that given the size they are there can be a lot of discrepancy with measurements at that stage. I would do my best to focus on a great heartbeat and wait it out for a second scan. Did they reschedule another one? I will continue to keep you in my thoughts, and fx baby bean grows quickly.
adorebel thank you love! I feel anything but glam most days. I am trying most of the time to ignore the less than glamorous symptoms and not complain much, I'm trying to be grateful it could be so much worse.

@led I am sending all the good vibes I have that your appointment with the doctor goes well.
I'm late as usual. 20weeks 6 days here. I can't believe I'm already half way through. Baby girl is moving like crazy and I'm starting to be able to figure out the time based on when she's moving. I ordered the crib and some of the wall decals for the nursery. My mother is coming down later this month and we will go paint shopping. She has an amazing eye for coordinating colors and I'm am beyond thankful for her help. Nothing much else to report other than I'm hungry all the time especially at night. We have our next OB appointment on Monday and I'm really worried about my weight gain. Trying to stay off the scale, exercise, and make smart food choices in the meantime.

I'm late this week... sorryyyyy.
Today I'm 34w 5d.
It has been a crazy week. We're still staying out of our house because they found toxic mold as a result of the pipe burst. Good news is that our insurance is covering the water damage and will cover a majority of the mold remediation (short back story: pipe burst in our house, caused damage, haven't lived there for the past 2 weeks). They did say they could save our cabinets which brought the reno time from 3-4 weeks to 5-7 business days so I'm happy about that.
On top of all that, though, I was in L&D AGAIN on Sunday. BP has consistently stayed high (140s-150s/90s-100s). My OB is fine with delivering Madalena but I know she needs at least one more week so we'll see how things go. I'm now seeing a perinatologist 2x and week and my OB 2x a week. I suspect she'll be here next week. If not, definitely the week after because I would be astounded if my OB let me go past 37.
I haven't been on as much lately, but I always have FX for BFP's and I'll try to contribute more since ILY guise!
Hugs URMySunshine77. Genetic tests are not 100% accurate every time too, especially when it's early. Hoping you get some more concrete answers soon. Don't worry, mama! Your LO will be perfect! Xoxo.

It went very well. I LOVED the midwife I met. She was super sweet, patient, and knowledgeable. I had a ton of bloodwork and stuff done.
Probably the best part is that she listened to me when I explained how irregular my cycles are (33 days, 52 days, etc.) and decided to schedule an u/s for next week. I had been given the impression that since I knew my LMP they wouldn't be doing one but she agreed that with the varying lengths it would be best. It seems silly but it felt nice to have someone LISTEN and agree that I had a valid concern.
So next week I'll get to see the baby and hopefully have an awesome u/s!
