Sending lots of positive thoughts your way snakefisherbub!

Hi everyone!

I'm 20 weeks today, and think I'm starting to feel some movement, but the flutters are so light and random, not calling it just yet. A/S scheduled on Saturday and excited for DH to see our baby boy on the ultrasound since he missed the first one.

So happy to read the great updates from all you ladies. Miss you all and always lurking & rooting for you guise !

All the best thoughts headed your way, snakefisherbub. Limbo is the worst.

Hai GKU!

Fx snakefisherbub, all the good vibes going your way.

So this will be my first grad check in. I am 8w6d today and have been having some pretty bad MS accompanied with vomiting every day. I feel pretty lame to be honest. Next appt is later this month and we will try and hear the HB with the Doppler, looking forward to hearing it for the first time.

As always lurking and rooting for all you ladies & have all the drinks for me!

I forgot its Tuesday! J is 6 months old. Time is flying! He's started to settle a little in terms of being such a cranky butt. I think maybe most of his "colic" symptoms the last few months have been food intolerance issues. I've been dairy free for a while but with my recent allergen elimination diet his skin seems better and he's sleeping better. We still have a few things to figure out so I'm still tweaking my diet and basically holding off on solids for a bit but I think we're on the right path.

Fx and good vibes your way snakefisherbub!

Hello!

I'm moving right along and will be 8 weeks on Thursday. Yesterday I threw up in a trash can in a physician's office where I was setting up their computer so today had been much better comparatively. I was so tired last night that I thought I took a Benadryl but I didn't. I don't know how you accidentally take Benadyl but there it is. Other than those two random things I'm feeling great and can't wait for my next u/s on the 10th!

FX for all my GKU people!

Hello there, GKU! My 12 week appointment is tomorrow (!!!!!!!). It's going so fast. I'm definitely completely a nervous wreck, I won't have a u/s tomorrow, but they'll be using the Doppler to find the heartbeat, please let there still be a heartbeat. I'll also be flying solo at this appointment, for the first time. That definitely doesn't help the nerves, but H is in an intensive and cannot get out of it. I'm still feeling fine, just really really tired.

NT scan is a week from today. FX that all goes well!

[divinemsbee]

FX snakefisherbub! I'm hoping for the best possible news for you!

I'm thinking of you and your LO snakefisherbub


I almost forgot, this new board confuses me. I'm to old to be learning new stuff. I'm now 23w3d and so far everything is good. Nothing really exciting going on. I'm having problems with my hands going numb. I started seeing a chiropractor and maybe I'll get some relief. The baby is starting to kick a lot harder, making it difficult for me to get work done, I wanna just lay there and feel it. My son told me no denying I look pregnant and not fat, I guess that's good.

snakefisherbub so much good vibes your way!!!

I'm 7w5d today based on LMP, but 7w2d based off of ovulation and our dating scan today!!! We got to see our little sapling today for the first time and it was unreal. I had to drink a litre of water though an hour before, threw it up, tried to still drink enough and wound up having to pee like nobodies business. Then when they started the ultrasound my bladder was too full so I had to go pee out "only two cups". Hardest moment of my life. Then they wound up doing an internal ultrasound anywas! But - we have a baby and we saw the heartbeat flicker and it was magical. Makes all the sickness worth it!!

I love seeing all the bump pics. It is so weird recognizing all these names from when I first started lurking on TTGP and see how far along everyone is. It makes my heart happy and makes me hopeful.

Im so late. I miss you guys (and the wine and the CAH) terribly. 6w1d today. Feeling pretty nauseous and tired. Got a call from the midwife who delivered DD1 and its all good for following this pregnancy too. Lurking TWW and having all my fingers crossed for you. All the good KARAMAL to you guys

BUT, according to their notes from the appointment (which is something they NEVER discussed with me), the connective tissue disease makes Intrauterine Fetal Demise MUCH more likely if I go to 40 weeks, so I will be induced around 38 weeks. I will also be having AT LEAST 12 ultrasounds - tomorrow, 12 week NT, 20 week A/S, 'serial growth ultrasounds' at 24, 28, and 32 weeks, and then WEEKLY antenatal testing with NST/ultrasounds weekly from 32 weeks until induction between 38-39 weeks. If any of these shows red flags, I will be getting even more tests/imaging. They also listed a bunch of labs they're going to do much sooner and more often than with a 'normal' pregnancy.

This is making me completely rethink our vacation to SC/NC/GA/KY/TN in April, when I'll be around 16 weeks. I was thinking I could handle the 2200+ mile road trip and the daily mountain hiking that would go with it, but if I am THAT high risk, I am not sure if it is still safe to go that far? They REALLY should have told me that I was this high risk instead of acting like the RE was overreacting when she sent me for a consultation prior to resuming treatment.

b -- first, congrats on making it past loss milestones. That is huge. I also wanted to comment on your trip. Since it falls squarely between the two "normal" NT and A/S ultrasounds, the distance you are traveling would not concern me personally. That would likely be the safest time for you to travel. The hiking part would be more concerning, IMO. I took a two week trip from weeks 18-20 during my pregnancy -- I traveled to Aruba and then a beach on the mid-Atlantic coast. I was also high risk and ended up having 19 ultrasounds. The bulk of them were in the third trimester, though. Admittedly, I don't know about how your connective tissue disease affects pregnancy. But I wouldn't necessarily cancel, perhaps just rethink your level of physical activity ...maybe? But definitely talk to your doctors about it.

meatandbandp -- Congrats!

snakefisherbub -- FX for you.
