Almost halfway!!
So, the genetic screening came back clear; we are 4 days from the anatomy scan. Not really much to report, I brought maternity clothes and have switched over fully to them. The belly is real! I haven't really felt much movement, a little in church on Sunday and a little after my dogs scared the bajesus out of me barking like lunatics. That's all. I have an anterior placenta, and a first time mom, might be a while. Symptoms:
5 weeks to viability 9 weeks until second trimester 🙏 🤞 🌈

Yay!! It's still shocking to finally be here after so many years of struggle and disappointment. I'm really excited and over the moon! Almost halfway there 😁
So I had my genetic screening done Tuesday, which isn't the nipt, but the other one and should have those results in a few days. I'm also counting down to my anatomy scan (11 days left btw). I told my mom after that is good, she can tell extended family. I was informed to stop taking my cbd oil a couple weeks ago by the MFM doctor. Well, that didn't go so well; I ended up in the er due to an IBS flare (the constipated kind with severe cramping, not my usual diarrhea stress induced kind). I told the MFM this when I went back yesterday, he told me to go back on it then since it was working. Now, IBS flares are extremely dangerous during pregnancy - especially coupled with a shortened cervix - because it can cause preterm labor. So, I'm back on it and can't wait for about another week to pass so that it takes full effect again. Symptoms:
A couple things I learned: I have an anterior placenta (it's still low lying), and my baby is measuring a week ahead. I still haven't felt movement yet, and honestly, I can't wait and wish I could already. My cervix is (knock on wood), still holding pretty steady. So I'm hopeful that continues. That's all for now. Still just praying and hoping this is truly our rainbow baby. 🙏 🤞 🌈 Today marks 17 weeks. 🙌 inching closer to the halfway mark.
It's been a fairly eventful week, though luckily, not eventful with baby. I still haven't felt movement yet, so I'm hoping to start this week. I can't wait to feel it. Sunday, my family will be having a gender reveal. OK, onto symptoms:
Only 3 more weeks to half way Only 7 until viability Yes, we are here.
Lot of updates.
OK, now symptoms. Everything is really on and off.
I am really grateful for the fact that my cervix is currently - and hopefully continues - to cooperate. I really liked the MFM, I felt he was very knowledgeable and very thorough. 🙏 🤞 🌈 |
