It's a GIRL!!! After trying for only one month I found out March 1 that I am pregnant with my first baby, due November 6th! We couldn't believe it happened so fast!! We are very blessed. My husband Chris and I have been together for 7 years and married for 1 and 1/2. We are so excited!!

March 10

Had another hcg blood test today because it was so low last week (only 193), and now my level is 5,255! So my levels are rising nicely! My first prenatal appointment will be on March 31.

March 31

Today we had our first prenatal appointment. They did an ultrasound and we got to see the baby! Now it really does feel like I'm pregnant! We saw the little heartbeat flickering and everything, they said it was 140 bpm which is within normal range for 8 weeks. My next appointment isn't until May 19th, I'll be 15 weeks by then. I was soo scared that there wouldn't be a heartbeat or something, I feel 100% better today!

April 10

Got a call from the doctor saying the cystic fibrosis test came back negative. Yay!!! Really wish I had an appointment before 15 weeks to hear the heartbeat. That's a long time to wait! I'm not too impressed with Kaiser Permanente so far...

April 14

Well, I ended up renting a fetal doppler and I found the heartbeat today! It brought tears to my eyes =) The bpm was 165. It is soo hard to find it though this early! Hopefully it gets easier to find in the coming weeks when the baby is bigger because I love hearing it!

April 17

Had a scare last night with a little bleeding, saw my nurse practitioner today and they did an ultrasound. Everything was fine thank god!!!! The baby was moving around so much! It was so good to know everything was okay. Got some great pictures, it actually looks like a little baby now!

May 9

Found the heartbeat last night with my doppler! It is so hard to find!!! The heart rate was about 160, I guess old wives tales say it's a girl if it's over 140?!

May 13

Well, things haven't been so great lately. I had bright red bleeding on the 11th and today. The doctor says I have placenta previa. So... no sex or exercise for 5 weeks!!! That is going to be hard, I love working out! I guess I can still go on walks. He said that the placenta usually grows upward as the uterus gets bigger, if it doesn't I'll be high risk and probably have to have a c-section. I am so upset right now! But, at least the baby is okay.

On a good note, I took the intelligender test and it said it's going to be a boy! We'll see if it's correct on June 16th!

May 29

Well I haven't had anymore bleeding since the 13th thank God! I've been picking up a consistent heartbeat of about 150 every few days which makes me feel so much better. I think I've been feeling little movements, but sometimes I'm not sure if it's gas or baby! Only 2 1/2 weeks until we find out the sex!!!

June 6

Definitely felt the baby move just now! I know it wasn't gas (lol) for sure! It was on one side so I'm guessing it's the baby's feet! Amazing!!!

June 16

We found out today that we're having a healthy baby girl! Everything looked great and she's even measuring a little long already! She's gonna be tall like her mommy! Also, they changed my due date to Nov. 6th so I'm now almost 20 weeks! Also, Chris (my hubby) felt her move last night! He looked so cute and excited =)

July 14

Almost 24 weeks!! She is moving around a lot now, I love it!! I am finally looking pregnant, strangers can actually tell now! I absolutely love the name Camryn Faye, but Chris isn't so keen on it. I have to convince him! It's getting so hot out, I can't wait for September to come so it will cool down. Have gained about 15 lbs and feel huge, but I guess I'm right on track!

Thanks


cluck77 - Tuesday, 20 May
I'm so glad the bleeding has settled, I'm full of cold at present and feeling rather run down, the heartburn isn't helping!! I'm really looking forward to May 30th as we will get to hear the heartbeat for the first time. Take care

I'm definitely ready to get bigger (it's all so exciting!) Yeah, I'm not quite sure how I ran across you baby bump picture (I think I was randomly clicking on people around my due date and thought "aw, so cute!) Anyway. I hope all is well!


CarolineS - Friday, 16 May
 such a cute little baby bump!


cluck77 - Wednesday, 14 May
Hi, I am also due on the 8th Nov!!! At 12 weeks I also had some bleeding and after 2 m/c last year convinced myself I had lost the baby. My scan showed all was well and I was told that the bleeding was due to having a low lying placenta and that it should hopefully move as the pregnancy progresses. Good luck!!!!


preggy08 - Wednesday, 14 May
Thanks a lot that made me feel much better... I dyed my hair yesterday because I couldn't take it anymore... didn't touch the roots but I inhaled some of the fumes... I know it's crazy but last night I felt very guilty for doing that. Hope all is well with you.


jennba - Wednesday, 14 May
I had partial placenta previa w/ my last pregnancy. Your placenta can still move so there is a chance of a vaginal delivery, Mine was a rare case and i had to have a c-section. if ya have any questions hit me up


klaire-oct - Tuesday, 13 May
hi..i didnt have bleeding as such. but when i was about 9 weeks i did have that sort ov blood.. like a brownish colour.. only slight but everythink seems ok.. hope this help ur fell a little better..


Cher1108 - Saturday, 10 May
When I had my test for down syn. the doctor told me it was a boy. When I went back to my OBGYN, she told me that the doctor hasn't been wrong on any of the other patients. Plus he actually searched to make sure. I have a picture but it's a pdf. It really depends on what kind of doctor you are dealing with. As of for ultrasounds, they can do it this early.


tmarie - Friday, 9 May
Hey!! I also have a doppler and I have heard that when its above 160 its predicted to be a girl :) My baby's heartbeat has been around 170, and we think we are having a girl too!! :) good luck


tinak24 - Wednesday, 30 April
