My sister in law was told the SAME THING when she went in for an ultrasound.... she was told there was "no baby". 24 weeks later she felt some strange movement..... ummmmmm.... yeah, she was pregnant.... over halfway through her pregnancy. She had discounted any and all symptoms because they told her she wasn't pregnant (but she still 'felt pregnant').View Thread

2 MONTHS AFTER I HATED HER SO MUCH I MOVE INTO A PRIVATE RENT HOUSE IN A VERY DODGE AREA NOT SOME WERE U LEAVE UR DOORS OPEN EVEN WHEN UR IN.

It is the norm to not be seen until you are about ten weeks. I was able to go in sooner because they wanted to check the baby (I was on medication that was new so they just wanted to check things out) but I still didn't get in until I was 8 weeks.
As far as your timing dilemma..... In my experience the dad doesn't relate until you start showing/are able to actually see something in there. My husband was alarmed when the dr had a jar of what appeared to be condoms on the counter..... and then the dr pulled out this "probe" and put the "condom" on it (vaginal ultrasound). He found it incredibly awkward. The ultrasound that took place on the belly was when he started to get excited. . . and of course it was much more comfortable for him.
I personally would go with the dr who was going to be delivering the baby . . . . you will have to weigh your decision on whether you want your whole family to know. TECHNICALLY it would be unethical and against regulations for her to say ANYTHING about your condition to anyone (law suits have been filed for less ) . But realistically it is unlikely that the secret would be kept. Could you talk to her when you go in and ask her to zip it?View Thread
Hey there ladies, sorry to hear about these men! Honestly it is their loss! They wont get to experience the pregnancy or the U/S or any of it! If they still don't choose to be there after the baby is born then they aremissing out on the most precious thing in life! I have a 3year old and have raised him mostly by myself! His father has just recently realized what he is and has been missing out on. in the last 8months he and I have gone to court for child support and visitation and he pays and sees him regularly.
The last 3years have been rough because I work twice as hard to make sure he has everything 2parents would give him, but I would never change any second of it. He is a mommy's boy thru and thru

The biggest help for me was having the support of my friends and family to get me thru the money stress of adjusting and the new mom stressful days. Izayah and I made it thru that and we are happy as can be. Now I'm expecting LO #2 and in the last 3 weeks we went from a family to just me and Izayah and baby-on-the-way. I know it will again be hard, but I remind myself everyday that I have to be strong for myself and my babies. It is all worth it in the end!
I know it may seem or sound impossible to do alone, but you really arent. There are ppl out there that will be willing to help especially when you need it most! Stay strong for yourself and that LO and one day you will realize you don't really need a man to raise a baby!
Congrats on your pregnancies and hopefully you update soon!
Im here is you ever need to talk or anything!View Thread
Glad to hear you ladies are staying active!
I was in a dance class before I got pregnant and continued thru it. Just before our final show, I reached the 20week mark and it actually helped me get thru the 1st tri pleasantly!...
With my first I stayed active and my labor was easy peasy.. hoping for the same great results!
H&H 9months!

Have you told anyone yet?View Thread
Yeah, DH is pretty awesome. We've talked a bit in the abstract, but we haven't actually sat down and ran the numbers like you said.
There was even talk for a bit about his dad waching our older DS after the baby comes and then putting the new LO in daycare. But FIL wont be retiring when he was originally so that is now out of the question.
I do plan on putting a spreadsheet together and sitting down with him. I definitely want to get things hammered out before we get too much further on! It would be nice to actually know what to expect. DH can sometimes be a "fly by the seat of his pants" kind of person. We kind of level each other out nicely.
I look forward to making some nice friends on this site again. I was here a few years ago with my first and I am still friends with some of those ladies on FB.View Thread
I know that it's so hard not to freak right now. With my first pregnancy, I was terrified about everything. We had been trying to conceive for over a year. I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms until half way through the 2nd trimester and that scared the pants off me. It's normal to not have any symptoms or to have all of them. It just depends on the pregnancy. Hang in there. Best of luck!View Thread
I'm glad you have found relief from the queasiness!

I am 7 weeks pregnant! I became pregnant through fertility treatment (IUI), my hCG levels were low the first week so my Dr started me on progesterone.
I had an ultrasound done last Wednesday at 6 weeks, the Dr. couldn't see the Yolk sac and said that the pregnancy sac looked smaller than expected. Now I have to wait 2 weeks to get another ULS done.
Has anyone had this experience but had a good out come in the end??
