Tried the first prenatal vitamin samples from my ob --> fish burps. Is there a trick to avoiding the burps, or should I just toss the rest of the sample?

I take NatureMade with DHA and find they can sometimes be fishy. I take them, then immediately eat lunch or dinner and that seems to help avoid fish burps. Those are so nasty.

I was going to recommend mine because they have not given me fish burps. But then I drank a hot chocolate after taking them, and got burps from it. They were fishy...

coffeequeen14 Thursday is my first u/s too, I'm sooo nervous. I'll be thinking of you!

Unrelated PSA: Drinking milk is really helping when I have heartburn.

Also team Thursday!

I take those ones too. I take them before bed and haven't had any issues with fishy burps.

... Not to sound oblivious.. What is an NT scan?

It's where they scan the baby's NT!



Someone smarter than me should answer but it's a scan of the neuchal translucensy. Apparently if the neuchal fold is a certain length that can indicate a higher chance of a chromosomal abnormality.

Thank you for helping me justify eating a brownie.

Aww, I wish I could send you a big box of peace of mind! There's nothing wrong with you; worrying is so, so normal. I hope all of you Thursday ladies get good news and reassurance!

There's nothing wrong with you! I'm convinced they're not going to see anything and they'll tell me I made up the whole pregnancy.

[elm1214]

I just heard baby's heartbeat with my doppler! I had an early ultrasound a few weeks ago and got to see the heartbeat but not hear it, so this is exciting! It's SO much earlier than I could hear my first two, so maybe I don't have an anterior placenta this time. I'm just so relieved!

I just worry baby will not be on track or have no heartbeat at all. With both of our second tri losses, baby measured behind in the first scan but had a good hb so the doc wasn't worried. For our early 2nd tri loss, the us tech used the tv us probe in me for probably 30 minutes after we discovered no hb so I get wicked anxiety over the damn probe now:( I also am scared of being behind or no hb at all like our first tri losses. Ahhhhh Thursday seems so far away.

Also, I don't think they'd ever say that you made it up fwiw.

[elm1214]

Big hugs to all that need them! I have anxiety problems that tend to increase during pregnancy and it's so hard to stop worrying.

Oh Sweetie of course you're feeling anxious with what you've been through. Crossing everything for this to be your rainbow baby!

[coffeequeen14]

Thanks ladies. My pregnancy history is 18ish week loss, ds1, 8 week natural mc, 15 week mmc, ds2, 7 week mmc. That engineer/math nerd in me says it's a pattern and I am due for a loss. It's so effed up. I can't get out of my head.

I'm the most nauseous I've ever been in a pregnancy so hopefully this baby will stick and grow:)

[jamjoyful]

coffeequeen14 sending you all the sticky growing vibes! Hugs.

[juliayadda]

coffeequeen14, so many hugs. sticky baby vibes!!!

[dc2london]

Oh coffeequeen14, I'm sorry love. I am sending you tons of good rainbow thoughts.

I'm vegetarian and use Rainbowbright it's made from all plant based foods. No fishy anything.

So my next MW appt is at 11w3d. At that time, they will give me the referral for my NT scan, which has to happen between 11w and 12w6d. I am a touch nervous that they won't be able to fit me in on that short notice. Would it be crazy to call and schedule the NT scan now? I shouldn't need the referral until I actually show up for the test (if at all, bc I am on a PPO health plan)

I would we missed the window with DD. It worked out fine, but I was a little annoyed at the time.

Not MWs fault the dating was off by two weeks.

Does yours have the DHA in it? I picked up a bottle of it at target but then didn't see DHA so I abandoned it.

This is legitimately my fear. Why are we so weird?

No they don't. There are some vegan/ vegetarian supplements for DHA, but I'm not taking them at this time.
