Finally had my first ultrasound! I should've been 11 weeks today based on LMP. However, baby is measuring 10 weeks one day, so the tech did end up changing my due date to August 24th. She said that doesn't mean s/he's "behind," it just means that I probably ovulated at a weird time since I'm still nursing, and I only had one cycle since having DD. My body wasn't regular yet, which is why calculating our fertile days and avoiding them was basically useless for us, and we got pregnant anyway. Lol. 😂 Anyhoo, everything looks healthy otherwise, and we got to see baby's arms and legs wiggling all around! Excited to add another little one to our family!
Here's our Lil Bean, who wasnt very fond of their picture being taken. Seems like they will fit in with their brothers just fine. I'm 11w4d, baby measured 12w, and hb of 156!
Baby was looking great at his/her ultrasound yesterday! Measuring a few days ahead of 11 weeks with a good strong heartbeat of 165. I’m incredibly relieved and thankful. ❤️
Apparently baby was in the worst position ever for them to do the testing/measurements, but somehow the tech got them. I was just so relieved that there was actually a baby there, I had almost convinced myself that I was going to be disappointed. Baby measured on track at 12w2d with a heartbeat of 155. ♡
Finaly got to see baby today, we're so releived that all is well. This little one was more cooperative than thier brother and we managed to get the mesurement for the NT test too. Measuring 12+4 so I've got a new due date of 13th of August.
***TW***Our beautiful baby at 11w6d. This was on Tuesday. It was at a fetal-maternal medicine office where I was referred after a similar u/s on Monday. We are praying, praying, praying. We were given a diagnosis on Monday by an off-site radiographer's report that they think the baby has a rare condition called cystic hygroma. They said that they saw fluid on the abdomen and said to me, once that has "progressed", the likelihood of fetal demise is very high. So we were referred and seen the very next day someplace with geneticist doctors. We opted to get the non-invasive blood screen because that will give us helpful information about the prognosis. We were able to go together on Tuesday and sat with a geneticist and a genetic doctor who basically told us very grim news. But we cannot give up on our child. HR on Tues was 170 and arms and legs waving. We are both skeptical of the test method, especially this u/s was not trans-vaginal and this kind of looks like amnion to us...and there are many reports of this resolving completely and resulting in a healthy baby. We have a lot of support and a lot of faith and hope. If I had any trouble feeling connected to our growing baby before, I realize I am so fiercely in love with our child. Singing songs to him/her (we will find out when results come back), praying and visualizing the fluid draining away (NT on Tue was 6.8) as baby develops this week. Follow-up vitality scan on Monday. I had to leave on Tue evening for a business trip. My midwife and my best friend told me to cancel it. I didn't want to leave my husband. I cut my trip short, which cost the same as a new ticket, but I had to go. I rocked it yesterday. And in between meetings, I found an ear to cry to, to let just a little bit out so I could keep focused when I needed to be. I keep repeating to myself, God is God, and I am not. I trust with all my heart that God is good, and all things come together for good according to His purpose. When I feel what I assume are Braxton-Hicks I feel calm. When I think of our baby I think of a strong heart beating and total health. And whatever will be, will be and God is with us. ***END TW****Thank you to anyone who read this who has any positive stories, relevant studies they know of, or personal experiences of hope to share with us.

@5unflowr22 Wishing many blessings upon you and your family in this trying time. Your courage is inspiring, and I hope you receive some comforting news in the near future. ❤️
@5unflowr22 Your courage and strength during this scary and uncertain time is inspiring! Good for you for not giving up hope for your precious baby! I will keep you in my thoughts
I’m relieved and happy that all went well at the NT scan today. Fluid measured normal and there’s a squirmy little baby in there! They drew my blood for the NIPT test, so I should get those results back in 7-10 days.
Thank you so much for your supportive, kind words. It really means a lot. Thanks for being here. I'll update when we have more information. Hugs back!!
@5unflowr22 I’m so sorry for the position you find yourself in with your little one. I will be praying for a positive report and full resolution of the fluid they believe they see in the scans. Sending you so much love and strength 💗
