We had our anatomy scan on Wednesday, and the doctor said everything checked out and looked good. And...it's a girl!!
Deep down, I'm incredibly excited about my baby girl. But up front, the infertile in me is still having trouble accepting this and letting myself celebrate. I can tell that I still have my guard up, and I'm still worried about something going wrong. Will I ever relax and just enjoy being pregnant? Have any of you, or do you feel the same way?
On the one hand, I feel like it would be irresponsible to get too excited too early, and I know from experience how to protect myself in case of bad news. But on the other hand, I feel guilty not celebrating this baby, not immediately letting her know how excited I truly am. I think I'm just still scared of admitting to myself how much I want this.
Anyway, pink team it is, couldn't be happier!View Thread

Congratulations! I don't know how you made it to 33 weeks before showing -- I'm starting to show now at 18. Keep us posted on your u/s and the date for your c-section. After such a long wait, I know you are ready!View Thread

It's really hard to read much into HCG levels, but yours sound good to me. Have you looked at this website: http://www.betabase.info It has a lot of information about rising beta levels, at each dpo.
Your beta numbers are rising, which is a good sign, so there's nothing for you to do but wait until Friday! I know it's hard. For me, my first pg ended in m/c even though my beta numbers looked great. So it's just really hard to tell this early -- try to be patient, and pamper yourself. Congrats, you're pg!View Thread


Hope everyone is doing well.View Thread
