Beth - no problem. I have been checking the pressure at home and all seems fine. I think I just may have been a little dehydrated that day. Also the next u/s is in 2 days on Tuesday at 10:45am. I can't wait to see the baby again. Each time I go and get to see that everything is okay the less I worry. I am a little worried this time about making sure we see the heartbeat and I think it is all in my head pretty much. I think I shoudl have more symptoms by now and I can't believe the Man Upstairs is going that wasy on me. Thank you for you time.

Talk to you all later.

Well be happy no symptoms i swear if its a syptom sign me up. I was the same way though at the last dr apt. I had to go from July 28th to August 26 to see the heartbeat. Once I was released from the re and back to my ob i had to wait 4 weeks i just kept having bad feeling. Even though i have had every syptom. Now with my daughter i had m/s but not this bad. There are days that i feel so bad i wonder how i will make it until the end. im 15 weeks and my c-section is scheduled for week 39 im almost 1/2 way there and it still feels like forever. I take more meds being pregnate then i ever would. and i still fell sick alot and get sick alot. The only good thing is i can feel the baby on a daily basis this time around. I have a feeling this one will be big with my daughter i did not show until i was 6 mths i already am showing. well dont forget to update me after your u/s.
talk to you soon

hello everyone,

Well on friday i went for my 2nd U/S and the usual person was not there so i had someone else. She was horrible. She seem to put the probe toooooo far because i was very uncomfortable. So then she had a hard time finding the baby but she did see the heartbeat but could not get a heartrate. Well the RE said that since the baby was small and that they could not get the heartrate that i would probably miscarry. I am thinking that the U/S person just did not do the U/S right. Has any body had this before? i have another U/S for today with the usual person.

Good afternoon ladies! Just a quick question to gather some information. We had our 1st u/s today at 6 wks., 4 days. They said there is a fetal pole, but didn't see a heartbeat yet. Has anyone else been here? I'm a little nervous as I've m/c before. They said to come back on Tuesday and they should see one then. Anyone have any advice-HELP!!! Thanks ladies!

Hi Red, I had my 1st u/s at 7 weeks and 3 days where they saw the heartbeats. I remember asking if I could have one sooner because I was spotting and they said that 7 weeks would be the best time to see the heartbeats. Good Luck I'm sure your fine!!

jamielee~Thank you for the encouragement!! I just needed to hear that. I keep reading that around 6 weeks but that is reassuring!! You have been there each time I've needed a pick-me-up and I truly thank you!!! Hope you and your twins are feeling well! Take care and THANK YOU AGAIN!

hello ladies,

Just wanted to say thank you for all the support threw this. I went to have my 3rd U/S today and the LORD has decided that it is not time for us. I miscarried sometime this weekend. My prays are with all of you. I am scheduled for my D&C on Thursday. GOD bless all of you.

Christie

Christie - Honey, I am so very sorry about your loss. Do they have an idea of what may have happened? I am so scared myself about tomorrow. It seems as though my symptoms are very scarce and I am so worried about that. Did you have any sign that soemthing was wrong? I just thought that the u/s tech just did not know what they were doing. I will mourn with you the passing of this baby. Again my deepest sympathies to you are your DH. Hope to talk to you again soon.

red: its not uncommon to not see a heart beat until week 7-8.

Christie: Sorry for your lose i know what you are going through i have lost 5 in the past

Jenny: stop stressing yourself girl thats not good dont forget me tomorrow.

Beth - I know but I just can't help myself at this point especially since Christie and I were at the same stage in the pregnancy. That is why I write it down in here that way I am releasing some of the stresss. I will not forget about you tomorrow. Are you kidding you have kept me 50% sane at this point. Then again I am 50% sane on most days even when I am not pregnant. LOL!!!! I am just praying thoroughly that all is well and thanking God each day for this miracle that hopefullly is still growing strong.

Christie, I am so sorry for your loss! I hope you are hanging in there! You will be in my prayers!

Red, Do you go next week?? Let us know what happens!! and try to stay sane until then! I truly understand how that wait feels!! I swear that time period is more agonizing than the 2ww!!

I had my baby shower yesterday it was so beautiful! We got so much stuff!! Can you believe that I still wont take tags off things or take anything out of a box out of fear of losing a baby! AHHH I'm 26 1/2 weeks pregnant and still I worry! I feel the babies moving all day long! Their little feet sometimes poke out and when I rub them I think they actually like it! SOOOO cute!

Christie~I am sooo terribly sorry to hear about your loss. I pray you will have peace and God will bless you the next cycle. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Again, my sincere sympathies to you and your DH.

Beth~Thank you for the words of encouragement. I truly appreciate it.

Jamielee~Yes, I go on Tuesday. They said I could come back at the end of the week, but the dr. wouldn't actually be able to do the u/s and he'd make me come back on Tuesday anyway to confirm the results. When the nurse called at the end of the day with my levels, she reassured me that this is normal and she recommended I wait until Tuesday. I think that is what I will do. I will definitely keep everyone posted. Thanks again for the support!

Jenny~Sweetie, don't worry today is going to be just fine. Your u/s is going to be perfect today and your baby is wonderful! Please let us know how it goes. I will pray for you today!

Jenny i know then feeling of worry the latest ive ever lost one was 12 weeks and im now 15 and i still worry. Everytime i go to the bath room i have to check the tissue for blood. I did it with my daughter till the day i gave birth to her even though i could feel her move. I have learned that the feeling stays in the back of your head the whole time, you just have to learn to relax a little. And try to enjoy the baby. Im glad that this is my last pregnancy though, i already have my c-section scheduled for Feb 13, 2008 at 930am, and after the baby is out i am having my tubes ties. I am DONE! 7 pregnancies in 5 years and 5 m/c is enough i dont think i can take anymore. mentally or physically.

Christie: if you need to talk dont hesitate to email me [email protected] I know its hard and you will have those dark days. I wish i could say it gets easier but it doesnt you just learn how to look forward.

Red: keep your chin up and happy thoughts.

Jaimelee: Take it from me you have to learn to open the boxes. YOu dont want to wait to the last minute and even if you go into labor now the babies can survive. YYou are at the home stretch and having twins you probably only have 6 or 8 weeks left most women dont make it until 38 weeks with multiples. Smile and enjoy they will be here before you know it. The next thing you know they will be here then running around then youll want to do it all again. Youll want to feel that life inside of you again. So SMILE take a deep breath and rip open the first box im telling you it will feel good!

Hello everyone - Thank you all for your support and encouragment. Everything was fine just like everyone (excluding me) thought it would be. The baby's heartbeat is strong and perfect. They have not done a heartrate yet which I guess some RE's don't do that. It was said since I have been going to this RE for over 6 years. I gave him and his staff a Boyds Bear dressed as a doctor and one dressed as a nurse. They loved them. The baby grew quite a bit since my last appointment on the 16th. I would be going on 9 weeks on Thursday according to the last u/s but, today the baby is measuring 9 weeks. So 2 days before I should have been nine weeks. I now have to call a set up an appointment with the ob. I can't believe I am saying that. Talk to you all later.

Jenny~That's awesome (& not surprising) news! You just keep getting good news and I'll keep praying for you. I'm so happy you had a good appointment! Hopefully I receive good news next week also!

Red - I am so sure you will. I heard and saw the heartbeat at 7weeks. So I am sure your little one is just fine and the heart is beating just fine. I am so tired these days but that is like the biggest symptom right now. I am almost out of the 1st trimester. I can't believe it. I think after all this it is just so weird to actually think or say out loud that I am pregnant!?!?!? It is just to surreal. That is the only word for it. My first (get this) OB appointment is Thursday the 30th. Yeah in like 2 days. The hospital campus that I go to moves fast. I just now scheduled the appointment. I guess they want to make sure they have everything they need before the end of the first trimester. The appointment is at 9:45am. It is just too funny. The more I think and prepare for not so good news the better everything turns out to be. Your little one struggled in the beginning and now will grow like a weed. Also no more progesterone suppositories every 6 hours. I get to try and sleep through the night. Yeah right I am too used to getting up at 1am to put one of those things in. I won't know how to act. So how are you feeling these days? Talk to you soon.
