Did anyone else experience cramping after a TV u/s? It’s just light cramping in my middle abdomen, nothing painful just uncomfortable. Wondering if the “dildo cam” is to blame.
With DD I did, and some light spotting after as well (around 9 weeks)
Wondering about UTIs and kidney infections. I was given antibiotics and am on my last day but the back pain after I pre is so unreal, I feel like my back is going to give out. I've also been so sick with MS I know I'm not flushing out bacteria with fluids, it's like s catch 22. Anyone else have any experience with a bad UTI/ kidney infection and MS? Anything you think would help ?
@MouseMama817 - I think that's normal. They did an abdominal ultrasound on me today and I am extra crampy so I'm hoping it's from the pressure of that. I totally get the PGAL brain. It sucks.

@jkmartin723 if you're done the antibiotics and symptoms haven't resolved, definitely go back to the doctor. If you can't stay hydrated orally, an IV might be required. Depending how dehydrated you get, you could have serious complications.
I have a question about bump stuff. Today I found out baby is measuring 1 day behind my EDD based on LMP. (Which is fine, I'm not freaking out at all. I actually thought I ovulated 2 days later than expected). But would you all suggest changing my date on here to reflect that? Or wait till I talk to my Dr/midwife? And how do I change it without changing LMP date on the app?
@jkmartin723 I would definitely get checked out. I had kidney issues last pregnancy and it sounds similar to the pain you're describing.... intense pain on one side of your lower back. Let us know what they find! Good luck to you.. kidney pain is seriously worse than labour! I hope it gets resolved asap!
Is anybody else feeling overwhelmed? We are expecting our third and I feel like lately I just feel so uncertain like what did we get ourselves into? Can I even handle being a mom to three? Sometimes I don’t even feel like a good enough mom for the other two....
@mempartyof3 I’ve had this thought from time to time, mostly during nap time when DD won’t sleep but I so badly need to nap myself or clean the house in peace or get some work done or just sit in quiet and I think to myself “holy sh*t nothing is going to line up when baby #2 gets here wtf am I going to do?” I know it’s hormones, but the level of frustration I feel when my daughter won’t nap is high enough that I wonder if I even deserve another. Part of that is PGAL brain, part is being a SAHM with no time to herself, part is hormones. I think it’s all totally normal. You’re going to be a fantastic mama to all 3, overwhelmed or not.
@mempartyof3 I know exactly how you feel. I had no concerns going from 1 to 2, but now I'm freaked out. I already don't feel like I have enough to give my 2 babies, how will I manage 3? Will the other 2 feel slighted? Will my sweet middle baby be okay between the others? So much anxiety.
@babybrain2018, I wouldn't bother changing my EDD based on a 1 day swing but it is totally up to you. Usually doctors only adjust if it's a week or more since babies will measure ahead or behind pretty regularly while we are all still so early. EDD is just an estimate anyway and it's rare to hit the actual day
If you want to adjust more directly, try setting up apps using the ovulation date rather than LMP, usually there is an option to use one or the other.
I am right there with you ladies...I feel so overwhelmed at the thought of three. Even though we tried for this babe for 14 months and I felt completely ready.... as soon as I saw that second line the mom doubts came flooding in. I'm questioning everything... Will my girls feel left out... how will they adjust... did we just ruin the family dynamic we worked so hard to achieve...
I had a five year gap between the first two due to fertility issues and now there is a much smaller gap between 2 and 3. I think it's normal to be freaked and nervous. It's also a sign that you're a great momma who wants to give her kids 100% all the time. Our babies will be fine. Yes it'll probably be hard and there will most definitely be an adjustment period, but we can do this
For the mommas worrying about if you can handle it, you can! You obviously care enough to care about the impact a new baby will have on your other kiddos and that’s all the proof that you have all the love you need for one more baby.
My experince: my three are all 2 years 2 months apart. When my last baby was born, she had a traumatic birth, ended up in needing a month of follow up blood work, in physio every week, then her dad left me when she was 6 weeks old. I had to start doing home daycare so I could bring in an income while home with my littles. Soccer. Preschool. All the things. We all survived, my kiddos survived, they were loved, we made happy memories, and their dad and managed to sort things out and have a healthy coparenting relationship (after a few hard years).
You are are capable of SO much more than you think you are. Also, use your support systems, people really truly do want to help Your heart has the capacity to hold all the precious babes in it, and there is grace for the days you feel you’re failing. (Even though you’re not!)
@mempartyof3 I am having all sorts of emotions about it as well. I know no one ever regrets having a 3rd, so I keep telling myself that. And I wanted this SO bad. I'm just worried how baby 3 will fit in. DD and DS are such best friends. It is darling. I'm sure baby 3 will work right into that dynamic, but it is so hard to imagine this little one. I'm also concerned about being stretched too thing. My husband travels a lot for work and I already feel overwhelmed. I just figure this baby is going to live in a ring sling attached to me for the first 6 months of life. He/she will be just fine and it will all work itself out like it always does.
@prairiemomma82 *TW maybe* Baby aspirin is sometimes recommended for people with a history of loss. It has something to do with helping prevent blood clots I think. However, I've always heard it recommended that you take it right after ovulation and maybe a few weeks after the BFP. How far along are you now? I'm not sure it's necessary for you to take it at this point but I guess it doesn't hurt if your doctor recommended it. FWIW, I think the research behind that is pretty slim. I saw an RE for my losses and she never recommend baby aspirin. I believe very few people have blood clotting issues that would actually be helped by taking baby aspirin. But baby aspirin doesn't really hurt anything either. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I've never heard baby aspirin recommended aside from to possibly prevent loss. Or maybe it's to prevent the threat of blood clots elsewhere in your body, as pregnant women can be prone to those. ETA: Google also says it can help prevent pre eclampsia. Did your doctor say why you should take it? I probably should not have tried to answer your question as it's clear I don't really know the answer.
@prairiemomma82 my midwife actually asked today if I was on ASA but I don't know why.
Also, I was told by my doctor that dopplers are associated with a risk of autism, and to stay away from them. Ultrasounds are safe, but studdies have been showing a correlation between dopplers and autism, and while it is not yet proven, he said it's not worth the risk. So for myself, I decided my peace of mind is not worth the risk. But as with every single decision we make while pregnant, you have to weigh the pros and cons and decide what's best for you. (I was ready to buy one before he told me not to. So I totally get people wanting to use one!)
@offtoneverland thanks! They added a bunch of supplements to my pill line up at the appointment, so it was tricky to keep straight (should have been taking notes, I was still on just-heard-a-heartbeat-high) I have never heard about taking it for pregnancy, I do believe it was preeclampsia risk related though? She said something about placenta too? They want me taking two at bedtime every day, staring immediately. Between my celiac disease, diabetes, history of loss, and age, I guess I’m checking a lot of boxes. I was talking to a fellow who is working with my regular ob-gyn and she even said to DH and I, “I really do hope things go well so I get to know you guys better, you’re fun!” It was a nice sentiment, but also felt a bit pessimistic.
@babybrain2018 that’s what I was reading too. I really want the reassurance, but don’t want to add more risk to the mix. I emailed my dr to ask her opinion.
@prairiemomma82 Doctors don’t like Home dopplers because they can cause unnecessary stress on mom’s if they can’t find baby’s heartbeat. Sometimes it can be really tricky. I have a Home Doppler and don’t use it very often. Once you feel baby move it becomes unnecessary.

Did your doctor give you any information on what specific studies indicate such a link?
A lot of women have these, and are sure to be seriously freaked out by that comment. My doctor, and most I believe, use one at all prenatal appointments after 12w or so, and I would find it hard to believe they would do this if scientific studies indicated they were at all harmful.
It seems like every other week people are hearing about some new thing “linked” to autism, but often these correlations are tenuous (100% of people diagnosed with cancer had haircuts last year, for example).
@josie12367@babybrain2018 I cang thank you ladies enough for the support and reassurance. I went back to urgent care and was sent to the ER to rule out ectopic pregnancy. I am extremely dehydrated so IV fluids were a must and we discussed different things to do to keep down the water. They did an ultrasound and baby is in the right spot but measuring almost a week behind than what I thought. they did see a heartbeat and reassured me that was a good thing. they also found ovarian cysts that were large but not concerning although they want me to follow up with my OB to monitor them Good news is, UTI is clearing and baby is in the right location with a heartbeat. Now just trying to get some rest after what feels like an extremely long week. My first OB appointment is Wednesday of this week so I think I'll find a lot of reassurance once my questions are answered.
Wanted to comment on the autism discussion. The study is: Rosman NP, Vassar R, Doros G, DeRosa J, Froman A, DiMauro A, Santiago S, Abbott J. Association of Prenatal Ultrasonography and Autism Spectrum Disorder. JAMA Pediatr. 2018 Apr 1;172(4):336-344. doi: 10.1001/jamapediatrics.2017.5634. PubMed PMID: 29435580; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC5875374.
My husband and I read this study very thoroughly to try to figure out exactly what was happening here because I was getting ultrasounds at my RE office. It was a retrospective study of about 400 children, and divided into three groups-autism, developmental delay, and normal. They looked at a lot of things, including number of ultrasounds, age of mothers at diagnosis, use of prenatal vitamins, and about 50 other things to try to see if it was correlated with autism. No parameters on ultrasound testing were correlated with increased risk of autism except for something they called a "deep ultrasound," which is controversial in its meaning and not really heard of before until this paper. Even radiologists do not know what a "deep" ultrasound is (if you google this paper, you will see a cnn.com link that interviews a radiologist who is like, wtf is a deep ultrasound). In fact, women with *more* ultrasounds had a LOWER risk of autism! Likely because these were women who knew they were pregnant, may have been planning for it, and also took prenatal vitamins.
The study is, in fact very limited, because when they looked at all the ultrasound paramaters, they did not control for factors that are *known* to be correlated with autism including increase maternal age and less prenatal care (including not taking prenatal vitamins). They found a value of significance when looking at over 20 variables and when you are looking for "significance" in a study, you are usually looking for a value of less than 5% (which can not be attributable to chance, and this definition is widely accepted). However, if you look at say, 25 variables, you will invariably get something that is significant (1/20=5%), so there are statistical tests that you must do to control for this inevitability of getting something "significant", which they did not do . Also, FYI dopplers in particular were not studied in this paper. So, anyway-- my conclusion is that the risk of autism with modern ultrasounds is most likely negligible if not non-existent. Autism is a super complex disorder that's likely related to a lot of things that are both environmental and genetic, and medicine is unfortunately very far from understanding this well.
Sorry for the long rant, but I hope that was helpful to someone out there!
@blumoon18 thank you! I wasn't sure how to even start to approach the whole "possible correlation to autism" comment. Aside from stating that correlation does NOT mean causation. You can make correlations between almost anything. But thank you for the science nerd out
@babybrain2018 +1 for wanting to know what studies are showing this correlation.
And Fyi, I'm not partial to the idea of using an at home doppler because I feel it would make me MORE neurotic. Eta: if the study blumoon is referencing is the study in question how in the hell are people making that correlation if doppler isn't even referenced in the study??

The biggest legitimate reason I've heard to not use at home dopplers is they give a false sense of security. Women have been known to use them when they're worried the baby isn't moving enough later in pregnancy etc and don't pick up on the subtle alterations in beat that indicate fetal distress that a doctor would until it's too late. In other words, if you feel like something is up, don't use it instead of going to the office to get checked out but with infrequent, short use they're perfectly fine.
@lurvleybunchococonuts So I read it over again, and I was mistaken in that the study did look at various types of ultrasounds including doppler. However, doppler was not associated with the "deeper" scan risk, but the regular ultrasound was (at least that was my take). Per this CNN article (https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/12/health/ultrasound-autism-study/index.html), a radiologist said, "Please don't cause any undo fear in the minds of pregnant women. They have enough to worry about," Ziskin said. If anything, the study "should give expectant mothers confidence that ultrasound will not cause autism spectrum disorder or delayed development," he said."
For me, I only use my doppler until i can feel movements... then I stop due to what @goldie987 is saying. It's the interpretations made of what dopplers potentially find that is harmful... not the actual doppler.
I work in radiology and while we say to limit ultrasounds and MRIs it's not because there is definitive research saying it's harmful if there's repeated exposure... it's because we just don't know what the long term effects could be to sound waves or magnetic forces. Considering a home doppler isn't nearly as powerful as ultrasound in watts or mHz...I really don't see how a doctor could legitimately state that a doppler increases the risk of autism. I would find a new physician personally...
Does anyone know of/recommend a newborn insert that can be purchased separately and used in the PNP? I know there’s the Dock a tot but that ish is expensive.
I haven't seen any research that says fetal dopplers cause autism. I do what @josie12367 does, use it until I can feel movements and then not after. With having multiple losses and now spotting this pregnancy I'm pretty sure the lower amount of stress by hearing the heartbeat is much more beneficial to my overall health than the risks to using the doppler for 2-3 minutes, especially when research doesn't confirm doppler waves are harmful. I also watched lots of videos before using mine so I knew which sounds were NOT baby and it's never taken me more than 2-3 minutes to find baby.

HR work related questions. On my manager’s advice, I emailed our director of HR asking about details and specifics of what I will eventually need to do for my short term disability/leave of absence for maternity leave. My manager said HR is kind of terrible at this stuff, so to follow up, get everything in writing, and copy him on emails if they are ignoring me. It took a week to get a response, and the response from HR was her setting me an outlook event to call her tomorrow morning. 1) I haven’t exactly announced to everyone (I’m a pretty private person), so I don’t really want to have this conversation on the phone at work, and 2) I emailed her for a reason. I want an email response.
Is it reasonable for me to respond to her outlook invite just saying I’m more comfortable having this conversation via email at this time? I feel like she’s the HR director, I shouldn’t have to say these things, but I also feel weird responding with that since she’s so much higher up than I am....
@runningyogimama I think that's a perfectly acceptable response. If they need it to be an actual conversation than they can schedule a meeting in their office. Seems obtuse of them to schedule a phone conversation at this point.

@lurvleybunchococonuts They are in a completely different office, halfway across the country, so an in person meeting isn’t realistic, but I was super caught off guard at the request for a phone call, when a simple email response of what I need to do and the timeline for it is all I need right now.
@runningyogimama oh I guess yeah, an in person meeting wouldn't work than lol. Still... for that sensitive of a matter you'd think they'd handle it differently.

Thanks all for the thoughtful responses/studies/opinions regarding home Doppler’s. It’s greatly appreciated! I’m going to go ahead and purchase one to use carefully and with reliastoc expectations this early in the game (8w3d)
@runningyogimama, I wouldn't let the HR person's position intimidate you. When it comes down to it, you don't report to him or her. FWIW, I find it super annoying when people send me random meeting invites without first checking if I am available. Along those lines, there are a few things you can do... you can decline the invite and say you are already booked and re-ask your questions via the email, saying something like "in the meantime, while we work on rescheduling our conversation, can you tell me..." or just be straight and say you would appreciate a written answer since you don't want co-workers overhearing -- they should be fine with that since HR matters obviously need to be private.
Or, you can do the opposite and accept the meeting but take the call in a conference room or other private place.... I like to use my cell phone and go sit in my car if I don't have anywhere else available. On the call, you can say that you will also want an email/written confirmation of everything discussed so you have it documented for future reference (baby brain is for real!!).
@purelex I ended up declining the invitation and included in my decline response that I would feel more comfortable discussing this via email. We have to book conference rooms, so I would have no way of knowing which one is available (unless she scheduled it for me, which it doesn’t seem like she would do), and I have a 15 min walk from my parking garage to work, so I can’t even go sit in my car and take the call. I didn’t feel the conversation needed to be a call...I just need to be told what I need to do/fill out, by when, and who I should direct my questions to. I felt like she should be able to just answer those questions in an email (or direct me to who could answer them).
