luvboston

Hi ladies!

 

Good luck Everyone!

((Hugs)) to everyone else who needs them!!

This check-in is open to anyone that is part of the SAIF community and is currently pregnant.

 

If there are any newcomers that would like to be added to the list, post below and include you EDD and how many beans you have cooking.

 

Checkin is every Tuesday, feel free to post updates all week.

 

Q: Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, David Beckham? Fav drool worthy hunk and why?

 

BabyKsMommy - EDD 12.3.14- 9/9- 28 wks today! Only 10 more to go. No appointments this week but I have 2 next week. Babies have been doing fine and my stomach is pretty big. Strangers have no problem asking me when I'm due or what I'm having. 

 

Blueberries8-9/2-Currently 7w4d with twins. I continue to have on/off bleeding from the SCH. I had another ultrasound on Wednesday and the SCH is measuring slightly bigger. I had a RE appointment on Thursday and my RE is shocked that I got pregnant with twins from this cycle and he is very concerned about the possibility of a very preterm birth due to my history and the current bleeding (also had chronic bleeding in my previous twin pregnancy which eventually resulted in premature rupture of membranes, likely due to the blood wearing down the amniotic sac). He even mentioned the possibility of reduction, not because he is recommending it per se but because he wanted it to be on my radar screen.

 

ccam - EDD 11.29.14 – 9/9-  I'm 28w4d today!  I finally went for a my glucose test last week and passed the 1 hour!  I failed the 1 hour with DS so I was nervous I'd be in the same boat but I actually had much better numbers for whatever reason.  I think this LO has had a major growth spurt lately, although I'm measuring on track.  I feel like my belly is huge and I am seeing it move all day long.  DH wasn't even paying attention to my belly last night as we watched tv on the couch and it moved so much that he caught it out of the corner of his eye!  I wonder if there is another 10 pounder in there!

 

 

Ducky719 -9/9- 14w3d today and doing wonderful - no complaints or problems. I am going to be that annoying pregnant lady again who loves being pregnant and just feels great all the time.  Hopefully you gals won't think I'm too obnoxious and will love me anyway.

I am certain that what i have been feeling here and there is LO and it makes me smile. No appts until a few weeks from now. My a/s is scheduled for Oct 20th...only 6 weeks away!!!! I cannot wait.

Itsmevkb-8/26- Ladies, I'm pregnant.  My first beta is tomorrow so I have my fingers crossed.  Yes, I know the actual number doesn't matter, it's the doubling, and honestly, I know even doubling doesn't guarantee anything but you know, baby steps and I need little things to focus on rather than big picture things like holy cr*p I am going to have five kids!

I just got the results from my first beta.  At 14dpo it is 110 which is good.  I won't have another thought now for a week which might actually help my anxiety instead of hurt since sometimes too much information is not a good thing for me!

 

Jenny935-9/9- I'm 14w1d today and feeling super tired but other than that I'm ok. I have a checkup tomorrow and I think I've gained serious weight, but we'll find out. I haven't been eating that much differently than I normally do, so maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe each boob weighs 10 pounds. 

Kdfecarie, EDD 8/29/14 (CS 8/22/14) 7/22 sorry its been a while life is crazy here right now, and i dont see it letting up till maybe november! 35 weeks now, and baby will be here in 26 days! I cant believe its so soon!!! Been rough with contractions and sickness making a return... Only a few more weeks!

 

KDR1919- EDD 4/16/15-8/12 I'm very early, 5 weeks tomorrow. EDD 4/16/15. My ultrasound is scheduled for 8/25. I'm still taking estradiol and progesterone 3 x daily. I don't feel pregnant and this doesn't seem real yet! It is hard to believe that it took 12 embryos over 5 transfers to get my twins and this pregnancy is from 1 single frozen embryo?!?

 

KMC84-EDD4/11/15-9/9- m/s seems to have passed and I'm feeling more like myself, thank goodness!!!! Still tired and hungry 

  LuvBoston, EDD 3/9/15- 9/9- I have been chasing down my MFM for 8 days, finally got an appt yesterday where she acted like I should be thankful she finally found time for me since she hasn't seen her own 7 yr old. I almost punched her, if you choose to be a doctor in a big practice what do you expect but to be busy? If she had just called me or my OB back I would never have been taken off blood thinners and then had to have an u/s of my leg because they thought there was a clot. Rar!

Anyhow I don't have SCH's I have Venus lakes. (Why can't I ever just be normal). She said the lakes are fine for now as long as they eventually go away. So I am back on blood thinners! Baby looked great measuring ahead. I had another MC attack yesterday so might have to go back up on my dose of prednisone. Basically I will deliver by the time I am able to get off it, I also saw the endocrinologist and have to start taking my blood sugar because I have had a few episodes of almost passing out. I hope its low because I don't need to add GD to my list.     mdiblasi10 –EDD 1/30/15- 9/9- I'll be 20 weeks on Friday, so half way soon. I mentioned in another post how emotional I've been thinking about this being the last time I get to experience a pregnancy. Very bittersweet. I'm feeling great physically and off the Zofran completely now. I've hit the point where I am so hungry all the time and I just eat and eat and eat. Thankfully baby girl likes lots of healthy things and I'm staying active.   Mayzie15- EDD 2/01/15- 9/9- 19 weeks and it's going by well. I'm in a major funk lately. I question everything - did we have this baby to close to my first son? Will I love this baby as much as my first son? Anyone else have these questions? Or is it just me?  
Mnerani – 9/2-Headed to 36 weeks this weekend! I have just started to feel big, slow, and tired- the lovely end of third tri. Our shipment from Kenya is going to be delivered to our house on Saturday (!) which is the last big, move-related "to do" before the baby arrives. Once we get all of that stuff moved in, I know I'm going to be like "OK, baby- time to meet your family!"   Pennylane26 -Boy EDD 11.26.14 –9/9- Failed my 1 hour GTT but passed my 3 hour!! Woo hoo! I had GD with DD so I am sooo happy to avoid it this time! I celebrated by eating so.many.pancakes! Have an u/s tomorrow with my MFM, can't wait to see my little man! I've never had an u/s this late in the game, I'm sure it's going to be shocking to see how developed he is!   Rella22-9/2-We are 5 weeks and 2 days...with an EDD of May 5th!  I still don't really "feel" pregnant yet!  I'm hoping that is normal and okay!  We go in for our first u/s appt. with our RE on Sept. 18th!   srveatch –9/9- 28 weeks tomorrow. Three hour glucose test came back normal with the second hour slightly elevated. They said to just watch my diet and that I don't need to do finger pricks, yay!!!! I had GD with DD so I am very excited!!! I start NSTs weekly and growth scans biweekly due to LO having one artery in his cord instead of two. I got to see him in 3D today though, it was kind of awesome! QOTW: A is going to be a little aerobics workout instructor from the eighties... Robeano-EDD 2/3/15- 9/9- 19 weeks here. Almost halfway, how the heck did that happen?! So we had our anatomy scan today and we are team pink!!!!! 

Baby looked awesome, she was wiggling all over the place the ultrasound tech had a hard time getting some of the measurements lol. So glad everything looks so good. So excited to be having another little girl!!    Babies are HERE!!!

20 weeks and had my anatomy scan yesterday. I'm nervous and we have to go back - could be something with the left heart ventricle. I go back Friday to have them check again. I'm trying not to freak out and taking deep breaths but Friday can't get here soon enough for me.

QOTW - Ryan Gosling without a doubt. He's gorgeous!!!

PennyLane26

@Mayzie15 - thinking of you!

Update: Ultrasound went great last week, little man is very active but frank breech, hoping that he will turn by the next scan (33 weeks). I think there is plenty of time! They took me off BP meds b/c my BP was getting too low, but it's been super high (150s/90s) off the meds this weekend and I've had headaches, so we'll see if they put me back on it at my appointment this morning.

QOTW: Tom Brady, hands down. And not just because we are Pats fans! He is perfection. DH is my number 2.

srveatch

29 weeks tomorrow. Baby brother is doing great, he tried to kick the NST equipment off my belly yesterday. They are seeing me weekly for NST's now with every other week ultrasounds to measure the blood flow through his cord and growth. I guess I'll be seeing a lot of this little man over the next nine weeks. Doesn't bother me . I've never really swooned over Hollywood men... I know I am strange.

Update: 10w4d today! I had my first OB visit Monday and that went well. Had an abdominal u/s (!!) and we have a very wiggly baby in there! Got my flu shot, tons of labs done, scheduled a/s and fetal echo already! I've been feeling better except I go between starving and overly full all day long t the drop of a hat. I took my Enbrel last night (haven't taken since before FET) and my hip pain is excruciating, so I'm praying that helps pronto!

QOTW: Gerard Butler! I'm a sucker for an accent! There are many swoon worthy country singers too

@Mayzie15‌ T&Ps that everything is ok!

ccam

Update:  29w4d today!  Not much to update - everything is going great, pregnancy wise!  I'm starting to feel the pressure to get things done since we're officially down to single digits (less than 10 weeks to go!).  We have the crib, dresser and some nursery stuff but just need to put that all together.  It's hard to believe we'll be a family of 4 in a few short weeks.

QOTW:  I'm more of a Channing Tatum kind of gal.

20 weeks 1 day. I am over halfway! Very exciting! I had a midwife appointment yesterday. It was good to talk some more about VBAC stuff. Anybody here attempting or had a successful VBAC? I was told I will have at least two more ultrasounds this pregnancy. Oh shucks, what a bummer . I also will have a consult with an OB at 32 weeks to see if I am a good candidate for a VBAC from their prespective. So I'm actually a little nervous cuz I've never gone into labour naturally.

Today I have an appointment with a dietician. To help potentially prevent issues cuz I am a higher risk cuz of my weight

mdiblasi10

@Mayzie15 I hope everything is okay and Friday gets here quick! @Robeano I was given the option to try a VBAC, which I didn't think was possible with my OB and hospital, but I'm still unsure. Check out the VBAC board here. Lots of stories on both sides.

20w5d today. The best part of this past week was feeling baby girl from the outside - even DH was able to feel a few big kicks I am feeling great, but I could really use some Fall weather. It's been in the 100's this past week. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I have my monthly OB appointment on Friday.

QOTW: Mine is kinda weird too, but I sure love a funny man and he cracks me up - James Franco.

Robeano

@Mayzie15 sorry, I meant to comment on my post but forgot. I'm sorry you had issues at your anatomy scan. I hope Friday comes soon and with the best of news!! Also sorry you've been having so many waiting issues this pregnancy. I know that's gotta suck!

@mdiblasi10, I totally forgot about the VBAC board, that happens when you're on mobile bump for the most part lol. Gonna go check it out, thanks for the suggestion.

itsmevkb

I'm still having lots of spotting but had my first ultrasound yesterday so that was a little reassuring.  The baby had a heartbeat and was measuring 2 days ahead.  I'll have another ultrasound in 2 weeks.

I am not a fan of any "normal" famous men.  I really am not attracted to six-pack abs and all that.  I too love Harrison Ford, a younger Paul Newman and I used to absolutely swoon over a younger Pat Riley (google if you don't know who that is, he was a NBA coach and commentator.)

BeckyP005

Hope ok to post here..

@Mayzie15‌ I've been thinking of you. Hope everything is ok on Friday! Positive thoughts

Mayzie15

Thank you ladies for thinking of me. My appt is late tomorrow night and I'm going a little crazy waiting. I will update as soon as I get the results.

@BeckyP005‌ thanks for the positive thoughts and good to hear from you! I have been lurking on your boards - so happy to hear everything is going well for you and your pregnancy. I'll keep stalking lol

Mayzie15

Update on my anatomy scan. We had a good tech and she thinks she saw the left ventricle and that it looks okay. The radiologist will read the report tomorrow and my doctor will let me know Monday. It's gong to be a long weekend of waiting...

Robeano

Well that seems positive. Sorry you have to do more waiting.

luvboston

I am 15 weeks and still chugging along. I am totally exhausted and my nipples are bleeding has anyone had this? I have never had this before.

Q: George Clooney. Classic

I attempted a VBAC but wasn't successful. It was a very positive experience compared to the first time around and I don't regret trying for a second. I was induced both times overdue. I do still wonder if I would have been successful if I went into labor on my own. GL if you choose to try. I always root for VBACs.
