Hello ladies! New here! Wheeeeeeee!!!!!! Baby has actually grown into a bouncy little person this time!!!!!! 12w scan was fantastic with BabyGirl wriggling all over the place :) I'm pretty sure she's a girl as we transferred a strong girl embie and a weak boy embie and only one stuck. HB 168 and CRL 50mm. I even got to see all 10 fingers ???? in between bounces :) I am sooooooo grateful to PGS testing for giving me the confidence to believe I'll finally be a Mum before my 41st bday
Hooray she's a girl! ❤?????Despite still having no bump to speak of (at 23w), she's measuring right on track and looking perfect :) She's wriggling and kicking every day now too, so I know she's definitely in there hiding somewhere ❤ but I guess she's just shy and doesn't want to show yet...
I'm pretty tall too and my bloating is gone and I have no belly now... but I'm definitely weeks behind you. I did see some twin moms with bellys by 8 weeks! I'm kinda ok with no belly until later... enjoying being able to sleep on my belly as much as possible! Are you still able to sleep in any position?
I finally found one of the heartbeats with a Doppler yesterday for about 20 seconds and then it disappeared and I couldn't get it back :( all I hear is my own !
I hope you get your little girl confirmed!!! Congratulations on a great check up!
21 weeks now and I get the gender confirmation on June 20th at 23 weeks. I really hope she is a girl as DH has two boys and I'm hopelessly outnumbered lol ??.
I've been using the doppler a lot less since she started wriggling at around 20 weeks. Before that I was never sure if it was baby or gas, but now I know it's definitely baby.
Had a midwife appointment today but didn't do much other than weight, blood pressure, bump size and monthly blood/pee tests. Apparently my bump is the right size when lying down but it still vanishes when I stand up! Oh the joys of being tall with a long midsection...
No, I mean we were 200 pregnant ladies. I don't think you can infer anything from HCG numbers, but two heartbeats is a very good sign for you! I got the UnbornHeart doppler and bought a huge kingsize bucket of patience with it, as finding it at 7w6d took lots of YouTube videos and 45 mins every day for a week! The doppler lets me listen in headphones (or you can plug it into your stereo) and see the graph on my smartphone. Also, record and send the sounds thru SoundCloud to my Mum n Dad :) They love it!
Do you mean that over 200 hcg at 4 weeks is a good sign? I wasn't too sure it was or not... but I know with the blighted ovum I was 42 at the same time so hoping that's what you meant! Which Doppler brand /model did you get that lets you listen so early??? I am going to order it ! Haha... I didn't know I could listen so early! Everything will be ok and worrying is only going to put un necessary stress on u and ur baby girl which is never good. I'm still in shock!
Indeed Soleil! I've been listening on a doppler since 7w and would not be sane without it! The heartbreaking thing is how many of the women in my fb group for October 2017 are having 2nd trimester miscarriages or discovering major defects at the Anatomy Scans ?. We were over 200 at the start, so the statistics make sense, but even with a heartbeat there are sooooo many things that can yet go wrong. I think getting through that scan with a healthy baby has to be the next big hurdle.
Anyway, enough doom and gloom, we're double celebrating for you! ♥♥
Thank you! Now I can start my 4 week countdown to the 23 week scan... ? After so many scans thru mc and several IVFs I'm finding it REALLY TOUGH to wait 11 weeks between scans! I just keep looking at this pic and hoping she's as beautiful next time I see her ♥♥♥
Thanks ladies! It's great you're all here :) I can't stop looking at the scan pictures. I know I'm biased but I think she's really cute! ???
Yey a girl!!!! Congratulations!!!! ???????????
