Thank you Claudia .. you must be excited for tomorrow.

I recently went to an Ob (yes before my ultrasound) and one of the pamplets they gave me was about making sure my pre-natal vitamin contained DHA. I thought I would pass on this info. Here is a web MD article. Pregnant? Omega-3 Essential for Baby's Brain

My pre-natal vitamin didnt have it (althoug it's prescription) .. accordingly, I went to CVS and found a gel fish oil supplement with DHA. I asked the nurse when she called today if that was a good thing .. and she said taking that with my pre-natal was a good idea ....

Just passing it on.

Tara.

Ok, I feel a little better knowing that I am not the only one that has very few symptoms.

I also have been sneezing and bloody nose. I think I had that the last time I was pregnant. So I am considering it a sign.

I will feel better when I have my u/s. I will feel better when my u/s is scheduled. I have my second beta tomorrow. I think just getting the results of that will help. I just hope I can get to the doctors office with all the ice.

Thanks again for all the wonderful information that you ladies provide.

Hi everyone i had a scan on the 7th feb there was a 5mm gest sac and yolk no fetal pole

I had another scan on the 15th there was 11mm gest sac with yolk sac and fetal pole that was 4mm with beating strong heart they found another sac and was not sure if it was a gest sac or bleed ???

had another scan on the 19th they seen gest sac of 8.9mm and fetal pole 4mm with strong beating heart
2nd sac 5.8mm with yolk sac so its a viable pregnancy
no fetal pole seen yet ................

Also found another sac could be gest sac or bleed ???

is it possible for one twin to grow before the other if they are in single sacs

can one of got fertilised later than the other but still be ok if one is smaller

Not sure if you all know but when having the scan sac 2 was right next to sac 1 the membrane was the only thing stopping them down the middle only sac 1 has a fetal pole and sac 2 has a yolk but no fetal pole as of yet .................

Could this be why baby number 1 has not grown or why the sac has shrunk i cant stop thinking its abnormal but my nurse said as long as there is a strong beating heart thats all that matters i know that a abnormal pregnancy can still have a heart beat as did my nephew and my sister had to terminate as it was a bad pregnancy and had no other choice
i just hope this is not the case with me and that all will be ok ................

I dont know a lot about twins so i want to know if its possible that one twin can be fertilised before the other and grow before the other and be smaller than other baby .................

If any of you know any information as i prefare the honest truth after having 5 mmc no heart beat at 8 weeks it sad to say but i am strong to all this now well to a certain point but at least i know what to let myself in for som if any of you think this shrinking of the sac and fetal pole not growing but has a heart beat is not a good sign then share it with us and let us know as i have a scan on the 29th and hoping all will be ok but want to know what to expect

Karen, to our group. I think I can only offer you a congratulations! I think only time will tell how many viable embryos you have growing inside. When do you have your next US?

I am excited and very nervous about tomorrow! I just hope everything is ok with little stickey (that is what we have been calling our little embie, hoping that he/she will do it's little job and stay "stuck".) Some days I jsut don't feel pregnant at all and I am sure it is all over. Other times I fell really secure that everything is fine.

My symptoms are not as dramatic as I thought they would be. But they are there. I know it is hard, but I think we should consider ourselves lucky we are not hugging the porcelaine god all day - if you know what I mean. I will take tired and constipated with a smattering of queasiness and a whole lot of crabbiness anytime over tossing my cookies. Of course I still get worried like everyone else...

KarenBFP,

I am sorry that you are going through so much. I don't have any advise, but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted on your progress.

to our new members.
I am glad to hear that up to now most of us have very subtle symptoms. I still do not have M/S yet but last time on my ectopic I believe it started on week 7. Other symptoms are:
*a very active bladder that must have a clock attached to it. For a few weeks I would wake up every nite at 3AM now @ 1:30 and 5:00 AM.
*sore (.) (.) but bigger
* tired at times, well a bit from waking up so many times at nite
* Moody at times
* pressure feeling on pelvic area.
* bloated
* very hungry and thirsty
* constirpated so I am eating prunes right now.
And to top all that to worry if everything is OK. I am really counting the days for my US. But I also know that worring will never ends. I have a 11 yo DD and I do everyday.

Claudia: Good luck tomorrow on your US.

[Tabitha]

Claudia - you've waited so long for your u/s, I didn't realize that you haven't had one yet. I can't wait to see your little bean(s)!

Karen - I don't really have any advice for you, just wanted to say Welcome!

Shellie and Rebecca - congratulations!! I'm so happy for you both, isn't the u/s just amazing?

I've had some symptoms, but nothing major. The main symptom being exhaustion. I am in bed asleep by 9:30 most nights, and I sleep until 6:30, getting up twice to go to the bathroom. I hope I can stay up to watch Lost tonight!

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR U/S's CLAUDIA AND BLESSUS

my second u/s i actually saw the heart beating. it was the most surreal thing i've ever experienced. it was a huge relief.

[mum2abbylily]

My goodness it's been busy on here! Welcome to new ladies, and good luck to everyone!!

My symptoms have really diminished the last few days....i'm beginning to worry.....I was really sick on Monday and thought it was terrible m/s but now I think I had a stomach bug....

Now I just feel a little tired, and a bit bloated but really that is it. I don't have another appt until march 4th so I guess I just have to sit tight until then.....
