Three weeks of crossed fingers

Blood test done and 12 week scan booked for the 19th Feb. 

My doctor said she would only call if there were any concerns, so I hope I won't hear from her.

Yesterday I felt so good all day until after lunch that I started to panic a bit and think that all had ended again. But then I felt absolute rubbish all afternoon, so I guess all is well...

This stuff is hard on the nerves.

Keeping an eye on it

I've decided not to do another scan until the 12 week one around 20th February. The doctor suggested a blood test at 9 weeks just to get an idea of whether everything is progressing ok, so that's what I'll do.

I didn't, as far as I recall, feel this sick even with Daisy. It's relentless. So maybe that means all is well and baby is settling in to stay full term.

So far so good

7w + 2d, 138 heartbeats per minute. Due date 3 September 2016. Tears of worry in the waiting room and tears of relief on the examination table.

So far so good!

Minibean

Dwayne has, somewhat superstitiously, decided the working title "Minibug" carries to many bad vibes now. He's decided this is the Minibean instead.

Hung over

This time everything is going to be ok. Simply because it has to, and because it better be our turn now!

I feel decidedly more pregnant than the last three times. That hung over feeling that never goes away. I welcome it.

Early scan booked for the 18th Jan. There better be a heart beat. I haven't seen a beating heart past 6 weeks since Daisy, and I have developed a bit of a fear of ultrasounds... 

First Response

The 28th December I was going to the doctor with my severely messed up back, and just in case he wanted to do an x-ray or other scan I decided to take a pregnancy test just to be safe.

(By the way, I should get a discount from First Response. I have purchased so damned many three-packs in the last year).
