Re: Tuesday Ticker Change

  • @mandyjulie I hope your appt yesterday went well!!

    How Many Weeks? 8weeks

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? Raspberry!

    How are you feeling? Fatigue has set in. Every morning it feels like I did a major workout the day before.

    First Ultrasound / Appt update? Yesterday was my first appt and it went well! Heard the baby's heart beat and it is measuring exactly where it should be. My next appt will be the end of December!

    GTKY:  Aside from necessities, what is one thing could you not go a day without? Probably my crafting supplies! I love making things and if I don't craft I get bored.

  • Was thinking of you too, @chanfa! So happy to hear your appt. went well! Mine wasn't anything special. I don't believe anything's wrong, but we couldn't see much of anything on the ultrasound :( I'm going back on Dec. 11 for another ultrasound. That said, she didn't see any indications anything's wrong. 

    How is it you were able to hear the heartbeat this early? My doc said that's not possible until closer to 12 weeks? Maybe their technology just isn't that great at my ob office! Did you do a transvaginal ultrasound?

    How are you feeling? I got a real dose of morning sickness starting on Friday, day after Thanksgiving. So needless to say, all the leftovers in my fridge are highly unappealing.

    First Ultrasound / Appt update? Update above in my note to chanfa. I'm disappointed we couldn't see a heartbeat or very much of a baby, but not all that surprised. Last time we didn't see the heartbeat until 10 weeks. I'm also likely going to measure a bit behind my ticker date given I know I ovulated later.

    GTKY:  Aside from necessities, what is one thing could you not go a day without? Sleep?? OK guess that's a necessity. I'd say coffee then. I still love it even with MS.

  • 6 weeks today!

    Baby is a sweet pea (or Maine blueberry, according to Ovia).

    Feeling reallllly tired today and yesterday. I woke up with that slightly queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach that is following me around all morning. Not bad enough to throw up though.

    Couldn't live without my phone. I hate to admit it, but we're in a pretty serious long term relationship.
  • @mandyjulie good luck on your follow up! It was a bit hard for her to find a good angle to see the baby for me too and yes it was transvaginal. She kept moving the wand around until she was able to find the baby, definitely scared me for a bit there. 

    As for the heart beat, my friends went to the same Dr and all of them were able to hear it around 8-9weeks (their first appts), so I assumed that was normal. If your doctor isn't worried though, I wouldn't stress out that much =)

  • How Many Weeks? 7

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? blueberry (or Ovia says a playing die)

    How are you feeling? so exhausted and naseuous here and there

    First Ultrasound / Appt update? My second ultrasound is next week right at 8W, praying we will hear a heart beat and I can update you all on our next ticker change.

    GTKY:  Aside from necessities, what is one thing could you not go a day without? I would say coffee, but I have somehow developed an aversion :(

    @Chanfa - congrats on a great appointment!
    @MandyJulie did you have an ultrasound done or just a doppler?  A  transvaginal ultrasound can pick up a heartbeat as early as 6-7 weeks, but abdominal ultrasounds I think it can be later. Doppler it's usually later, like 12 weeks (or I have heard some doctors don't check until even later than late for the first time).  The tech at my last ultrasound had me scheduled to come around 7-7.5 weeks for a second transvaginal ultrasound and said we would for sure see a heartbeat by then if things progressed well.

    @chanfa Interesting. Man I should have asked about a transvaginal! I don't know if she would have done it though. Interesting about hearing the HB. She turned on the sound for a second but we only heard my hb. But again, I'm pretty sure I'm actually closer to 7 weeks at this point, so that could be part of it. Counting down to next Friday!

    How Many Weeks? 9

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? Southern Pecan

    How are you feeling? I actually felt the worst weeks 6 & 7. I haven't thrown up in over a week! But I nauseous all the time and always have a gross taste in my mouth.

    First Ultrasound / Appt update? First ultrasound on Thursday! Haha, pregnancy brain moment, my ultrasound is tomorrow, not Thursday! Good thing they called to remind me....

  • How Many Weeks? 9 weeks

    What size is baby (fruit / vegetable or other)? pecan/cherry

    How are you feeling? nervous, exhausted and occasionally queasy.  i've been spotting since 6 weeks, and I've had two emergency ultrasounds in the meantime. everything looked okay both times, but i'm constantly on edge and checking the tp for something worse. also, my bloat is terrible and i already look pregnant.

    First Ultrasound / Appt update? tomorrow is my first official appointment! i am anxious for the doc to measure the heartbeat and growth and get some reassurance that everything is still going well.  if everything is a-ok, we're going to order a onesie for DS to announce the pregnancy to family and friends.

    GTKY:  Aside from necessities, what is one thing could you not go a day without? honesly, tv and chocolate.
