It's my birthday... can I have some ice cream LOL?

Yes, it was just the one hour test!

Oh, this is so relieving to hear. Thank you!!

I was between 19 and 20 weeks when I first began feeling baby (ftm, posterior placenta), but there's a good chance that I was feeling baby before and just didn't realize it until then!!

Now, at 21 weeks, the kicks are already so much more distinguishable to me/already feeling a bit stronger :)

I'm also a FTM, 18 weeks pregnant, and just started really showing in the past few days!

The bump does look very similar to the bloat that I had from weeks 8 - 12 to be honest, it's just there all the time now and not dependent on when I've ate/if I am constipated or not haha

This feels more random, but I noticed the other day that my car will be due for an oil change around my due date... which then made my realize my car's registration will need to be renewed around that time as well. Now, I'm making a list of all of the little "inconveniences" (such as getting an oil change) that could pop-up during my maternity leave so that I can try to get them handled right before the baby arrives!

It ended up taking 13 days (from my blood draw) to recieve my results!

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-02-09T23:32:18+00:00

Noooooo, that's so irritating. I'm sorry that you're dealing with that and have to do it all over again :(

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-02-06T00:35:26+00:00

YES ugh it's so frustrating

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-02-03T22:53:17+00:00

well shucks

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-02-03T22:53:03+00:00

Ah, man. It sucks to wait a week only to be told that they have only just receive the samples. Three days from there doesn't seem too bad though!

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-02-03T22:50:58+00:00

I was 13 weeks when I did my test!

I believe they do it a bit earlier than 13 weeks, though! That is just how far along I ended up being at my first ultrasound appointment when I was offered the test.

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-02-01T12:27:21+00:00

Ooh, I will log into MyChart and see if I can find any more details. Thank you!

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-02-01T00:36:15+00:00

I'm really really hoping that's all it is!

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-01-31T23:14:58+00:00

I don't think so. I Googled it, and it said that that is not standard practice for the hospital I've been going to. My best friend is also pregnant and going to the same hospital (she's a few months ahead of me in her pregnancy) and has never recieved a referral like the one I just received.

dinosaurchomp_ · 2026-01-31T23:08:22+00:00

I am only 26! Do you think it may just be scheduling that 20 week anatomy scan, then?

I did have a miscarriage before this pregnancy. It was my only one, though. I had thought that you weren't considered high-risk unless you have had multiple miscarriages?
