Congrats Ruth! so happy to hear of your BFP
For this pregnancy I had hCG bloods done every 3 days until the second scan at 6w4d confirmed the heartbeat. Then my docs had me carry on for a couple of weeks with more hCG's but I didn't ask for the results!
I can so understand you wanting to have some control over the process. Dont forget to let us know what your results are...
Wishing you a totally boring uneventful 8ish months

I am doing ok... this whole 'rest' thing is not good for paranoia and only my wriggly girl is keeping me sane. Scan tomorrow then OB on Fri. Will let you all know how it goes

Hope all Mums and bubs are doing ok

Good luck for tomorrow TA!

Congrats Ruth-Maria!

And congrats on the safe arrival of Max Starfish!

Thanks HiD

I never had HCGs done, MW said not to bother about it, it will only put me through unnecessary worry.

Oh Starfish Max is A.DORABLE!!!

TA good luck hun.

Becky ifyou havent heard about your results yet I will hazard a guess that you are all sweet as I heard back the same day that I had to do the 2nd test. So I hope its all good

Congratulation Ruth-Maria, wishing you an uneventfull 9months,

I dont have bloods done, but I do have an eaarly scan and then the 12ish week one (next week)

Afternoon all

How are all mums & bubs doing today?

Had my scan this morning.... bubs is doing really well measuring in the 95th percentile for dates so that is GREAT!
My cervical length hasn't changed since last week & the doppler study of the umbilical cord/placenta/uterine arteries went well too (no signs of pre-e!).. bubs kept the sonographer on his toes though by grabbing and playing with the umbilical cord when he was trying measure blood flow through it

My kidneys are scarred (whats new ) apart from that no change so thats a relief

See the OB tomorrow to see when (if) I can resume 'normal' life....

Fantastic news TA! Bet you are relieved to say the least.

T.A thats fantabulous news!!! Cheeky wee bubba in there too! it!

Good luck XA with your 12 week scan tomorrow.

So pleased to hear it's all looking good T.A.!

Wahoo to everything looking A-ok T.A

Been out this morning and came home to a message from scan place to say they have to reschedule my appt for Monday as their machine is down Means I will have to wait longer! Just waiting for them to call back with a new time.

Becky werent you finding out about your blood sugar tests on Fri? How did you go?

Poppit grrrr that their machine has busted how you get your scan sooner rather than later... hang in there.

Had to rebook it until Wednesday stekeljodcam

hi stekeljodcam ... yup it came back normal, although on the high side of normal. saw the doc friday, seems like they're going to ramp up the monitoring now. in the next couple of weeks i have to do it all again - scan, bloods, urine tests, and another glucose test, this time the two hour one.

i don't mind at all though, i'm happy to have the docs keeping such a close eye on me and bubs. see the doc again on feb 12th.

Becky GD isnt that bad except for the fact that all I felt like was chocolate and pies. You may find that the fasting test brings you down into normal ranges so thats the case. It also sounds like you have a great OB (coz gd makes you high risk i got put in under the high risk clinic here and the ob was a real w@nker) wanted me to go overdue, whereas in Oz they induce at 38 weeks I was super grumpy.

Oh Feck I mean I hope you dont have it!!

Poppit that sucks sorry hun

Yay for the great care you are getting Beckydubs sorry you have to go through all the extra tests and things but whatever it takes to get you and bubs through eh

2 more sleeps until my scan. Gosh I am so fixated on seeing that heartbeat. Feel like my life is on hold at the mo

looking forward to hearing about a great scan poppit it's so hard waiting eh? i have felt that way during this pregnancy as well.

Poppit you will be fine and will be so luffly to see the wee beating away cant wait to hear on Wed how it all goes is your scan am or pm?

Thanks ladies, you are so great 9.30! As early as I could get hehe

Poppit hun sorry your scan got moved but glad you have a new day/time to be looking forward to! I bet you will have a wee hear when you see your wee beans I know I did!

Becky - I'm so glad they are monitoring you so closely and looking after you so well.. I know how you feel all the tests appointments seem to be constant sometimes but it is all for such a good reason Hope your boy is being nice & wriggly

HiD

How is everyone else doing?
