So I finally got a hold of someone and asked the nurse about my hCG blood test from a week ago. She can't find it!! She said the results aren't in my file and she doesn't know. Really?!?

*sigh* can't believe they've lost it!

So frustrating are they going to have you redo the blood work?

Nikoru - I agree that it would be the best idea to move your appt back if you want to be sure that you can hear a heart beat, but I have read on here many people hearing a heart beat in week 6. I guess it just depends. I have my next scan on Friday at 6w5d and had the same concern, but I'm also getting another one at 8w so I am just looking forward to making sure everything is going ok with baby on Friday.

Radiance - That's miserable! I can't believe they lost your results!! hopefully they get new blood work done for you.

I think I might just keep it though because I think my husband got time off work and it was pretty difficult. I guess we'll just have to go back at week 8 if needs be, my husband said that was okay.

I'm feeling a little sick this morning but I think that might be due to constipation. I really don't know what to do to help it being in Japan I haven't been properly in more than a week. Being able to go properly is so underrated lol.

 

[coucou11]

Argh Radiance I am livid for you! How frustrating!

Nik I have been feeling constipated too, it's the worst! The only things I can recommend aside from stool softener are too try drinking lots and lot of water. Can you get your hands on some prune juice? That could help!

Yeah I already eat a lot of whole grains and veggies. I prefer veggies to meat in any case. I think I should try drinking more though. I wonder if it's the iron in my prenatals that is making it worse though. I might try getting some figs. They are in season here in Japan so seemingly abundant.

I wish I felt more sick though. I heard that morning sickness is correlated with a decreased risk of miscarriage and it would be really reassuring for me haha.

Anyway what prenatals are you all taking?

I've been taking:

Quite interested to see what everyone else takes!

 

[Mrs.326]

I'm just taking an OTC with DHA for now. I'll get a prescription when I see my doc next month.

 

[NDH]

Iron in prenatals is notorious for causing constipation.

We have gone through hell to get this BFP. Lost 2 babies and both my tubes, had 3 failed IVF, this HAS to be our baby or i just dont know what we will do xxx

I am sooo sorry. I hate that you are stressing out so much and I hate that you have gone through what you've gone through. I will send prayers your way. Please keep us posted. We are here for you.

I hope that it's nothing but a cheap test.

I had my beta-HCG tested. A little worried. My doubling time is 71 hours (it's ok if it's 48-72 hours, but 71 seems really slow). It was 461 and then after 48 hours it was 735. Had it tested again today. Praying for a fast growth!
I find this website reassuring: https://carikay11.hubpages.com/hub/nondoublinghcg

I got my 3rd beta results - it's 1738 two days later! Doubling time is 39 hours!

 

[NDH]

Awesome!

Well its been a few days since i posted. I took a test this morning and got a very strong bfp within seconds so feel a bit better now. This pregnancy is totally different so far from my daughters. I am having alot of cramps and pain in my lower abdomen and also really really tired. I went to bed last night at 8pm and was in a deep sleep until my daughter got up at 6, ive made dinner and done a wash and i could honestly sleep again, no chance with a toddler though lol

Hows everyone else doing?

 

[Snufkin]

I hear you on the no sleep with toddlers issue!! I've been looking forward to naptime since I got up this morning! Almost there!

I finally made an appointment with the midwife, it's at the end of the month. Then I get my scan on the 1st of December...ages away! The midwife on the phone must have thought I was mad...first I forgot about the last house we stayed at (not I didn't remember the address, I just forgot we'd ever been there so didn't mention it at all!), and then I told her my LMP was around the 30th of September...duh...can I claim baby brain this early??

 

[NDH]

Yay for a strong positive weewdy!

Lol sufkin. I'm sure theyre more than used to baby brain .

Thankfully the exhaustion hasn't hit yet cause I dont know how I'll cope. If I get to bed before midnight its an early night for me, my youngest still wakes at least once for a night feed (I think, I actually haven't remembered one in a while but its normal for me just not to remember) and my eldest has started waking around 1. And theyre up for the day generally between 6 and 6:30 (was 5:30 before we just had our time change on sunday so thats something to be grateful for).

 

[Ruz]

Hi I am due june 19th

 

[30mummyof1]

Baby brain is starting to set in here too!

My biggest symptom so far is hunger, i cannot stop eating!! I daren't get on the scales!
I felt more tired last week than this so i guess that's a good thing. Surprising really as i wake about 5ish now, no idea why. Guess my body is preparing me early?!!

[poysenivye]

Welcome new bumps!

I think it's interesting how at the beginning of the day, I am super thin and by the end of the day I look like I am 4 months pregnant already...really? All this "trapped" gas is killllllling me!
