2005-08-30

Name: Preeti Hi
Yesterday I had my checkup done.I heard my little baby's sweet heartbeat.I am so relieved & happy now that I took a day off from my job to enjoy and thought of writing a long message to all my friends on this group.Also I'll go for my AFP blood test today but I'll get the report on 22nd Sep'.I am also going to have my Level 2 sonogram in last week of Sept,am so exited that can't wait for this month to pass.Presently I am in my 16th week.
How are you all?

Hi Every one

Hi,
I am very happy to hear all the updates from every one.

In my last visit i heard the heartbeat of the baby for the first time, There is so much difference between your and the babies right?

I have my next Sonography in Sep 2nd week,I am waiting for the day badly...

What is this AFP bood test i know the full form(Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) Blood Test)if i am not wrong this test was not done on me till now....Should i talk to my Doc about it?

I am right now in my 15 weeks,How is every one feeling.

All the best!

Hello everybody

Hi,
its good to hear that you all are doing fine. Preeti it really feels great when you hear your unborn's heartbeat!!! I went for my checkup on 22nd August .I was very excited and had lotzaa question to ask ..but somehow (i donno howcome) on the morning of 22 Aug..i was very upset, felt very lonely and depressed though i managed to visit my O/B but felt like crying and i did.Later on i was filled with guilt and remorse. At times i get upset on small silly things, have become very touchy....that day i presume what made me upset was...my Mother-in-law saying she wants a grandson only and wont be happy if i have a daughter....this thing really shattered me .i'am at US wanted her to be here at the time of delivery but now i really dont feel very comfortable while talking to her but i dont want my loving husband to be disturbed...... suggest me what shall i do as she , directly or indirectly stresses on the same thing.I'am really perturbed at the thought that if i get a daughter then i wont be able to enjoy the long cherished moment in my mother-in-law's presence as i 'am pretty sure that she will cry!!!!I don't know what to do and how to keep everyone happy .I just dont feel like talking to anybody about my fear but yeah its trapped in me and so i cant enjoy this phase at full. Plz help me with your suggestions and words.

Take care,
Prachi.

Hi Ja

Hi!
I think AFP is done between 16 - 20 weeks or so. I think it might be done in you rnext visit. It is optional though. Check with your doc the next time you go.

I suggest you should start prenat' vitamins.with iron & folics it gives lot many things which sometimes is hard to get from anywhere else.
For iron ,you can also start taking 2 dates daily morning.My hemoglobin after misscarriage was 13.8.In my last test I got it 14.6,I took 2 dates daily .
Take care

Hi!

Hi!
Good to hear abt your checkup and that you were thrilled abt it. Yeha on my last visit I too got ot hear the baby's heartbeat.....ghosh it's soooooooo amazing, right. These are dates worth remembering!!!!!!

I gave my AFP test on my last visit, next visit would have the results. I have my Ultrascan scheduled for Sep 15th.....I am just waiting for 15th sooo badly. I just wanna see my baby.

So you gonna find out the sex of the baby? Or would you want it to be a suprise?

Hi all

hi preeti and all,

yes im feeling much better now thanks, but still having wind and gas problem, but atleast the diarrohea stopped. I also have been geting vaginal pain so checking for any infection, but have not found anything, so its just muscle pain, also 2day i found out that i have low iron levels so i really need to sort that out, i dont really eat meat but i think i need to start. also i dont take prenatal vitamins, just folic acid, so i may need to start taking them too, but i will do as the consultant says, i will see her in 2weeks time, so until then loads of green veg for me.

anyways good to hear that u are doing well, im in my 15th week now, cant wait to reach 18-20wks wen we can feel the baby move about, my next scan is next monday when i reach 16 weeks. i also heard my babys heartbeat last week it was so amazing!

anyways hope to hear from u all soon

good luck b
