Hey everyone, hope you're all well/hanging in there. I saw my GP today. He was so happy for me, it was very sweet. I'm to carry on living my life as normally as possible for the first trimester, with the usual precautions about certain types of food and cat litter. He encouraged me to exercise so I'm going to lace up my runners tomorrow for the first time in 2 weeks if it isn't icy out there - I usually run 3-5K a few times a week but I've been afraid to. And he saw no reason why I shouldn't continue to travel for work and for fun for the next while - until 35 weeks, when the airlines will refuse to take me.
For those of you who don't have ms and are scared that it means the pregnancy isn't viable, he said having it or not having it has nothing to do with the outcome. That was a relief to me. I've been feeling almost too well, you know? Tired, yes, hungry, thirsty, but not so much queasy. I did feel the queasiness in the week before I knew but it was pretty mild and it seems to have gone away for now. He did say there is an increased risk of m/c in the first trimester but usually it's just nature taking its course - sometimes it can be stopped but often, the pregnancy just wasn't working out, something was abnormal. So I'm not going to dwell on that too much because it doesn't help. I am going to be realistically optimistic
I picked the hospital where I will deliver (ack!) and now I'm just waiting to be referred to an OB who works there. Not much they can do in the next few weeks so I'm in kind of a figurative waiting room. Or an airport lounge, waiting for my flight to board. Hopefully there's some good magazines and snacks in this lounge
