Man I need some strength to get through today. Woke up @ 3:30am to pee after goin to bed at about 11:30 and couldn't go back to sleep! Ahh and now I have to watch my husband's 5 yr old cousin all day. I really do love him but he's autistic and totally non-verbal & not potty trained. Plus he broke his wrist last week and has a huge cast which I hope he doesn't wack me with as I already have to worry about him kicking me. It's just a lot to deal with any day, especially when your pregnant and didn't sleep! Oh well just gotta make it to 1:45 tomorrow when I have my first ultrasound & appt!
 
Morning all - dent doc and happenstance I'm thinking about you :hugs:

Menelly I'm just so sorry to hear about your sister. That must have been such a hard time for you and your family and I can only imagine the press coverage at the moment stirs emotions unique to the situation. Thinking of you.

Coffee! I was wondering where you'd gone love! Hope you're feeling better?

Cute bump Chelsea! I'm just a few days behind you and on pregnancy no 4 so have quite the bump too, but I'm really trying to hide it.... Not sure how long that's going to be feasible!!

So I have my appt this week with the specialist who handles pregnant moms with previous cardiac stillbirth to go through our action plan for monitoring this pregnancy. It's about a 6 hour drive but I'm just happy they are seeing us pretty soon. It is quite stressful though in case they tell me things I don't want to hear. But let's stay positive until we know what he says I guess!

Have a great day girls and keep growin those bumps!
 
Happenstance, sending positive vibes your way that everything is okay. :hugs:


Sorry I haven't been around much ladies. I have had a few stressers of my own. My progesterone is still low, even after being switched off prometrium (taken vaginally) and switched to bioidentical progesterone injections twice a week. My test last week (10 weeks) show my progesterone had dropped again. From a 9 at 6 weeks to a 7.3 at 10 weeks. I am just baffled as to how this can be happening? I have had no cramping and no spotting. It just doesn't seem like this can be accurate. So my OBGYN added the prometrium back into my never ending list of medications. I only take one pill a day for now, but I do it at night, vaginally. Then I still do the injections twice a week. He also seems to hint that I will likely be on progesterone my entire pregnancy. I am happy to FINALLY have a doctor that believes in the importance of progesterone and supplementing it where needed... but now I am to the point of getting anxiety attacks when it's time to have my progesterone tested again. I just expect to miscarry at any time. I have an appointment with my OBGYN tomorrow afternoon, so I will discuss this with him more. Hopefully he can provide some reassurance so that I stop feeling like I am walking a tight rope and could fall off at any time. Then, they retest my progesterone again a week from Thursday. HOPEFULLY the placenta will kick in and my numbers will make a complete turn around.
 
Thanks for the condolances everyone. It has been a hard day. *hugs*

Happenstance and Elphabba, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies that all will be well. Seems really scary!
 
Fx Happenstance I hope everything is ok! You too Elpheba!
 
Elphabaa, sorry I missed your post! I hope you & your doctor can get your progesterone levels on track! I've been taking a supplement too, it is scary :hugs:

Hope you don't have to wait too much longer Bookity! Are they making you keep a full bladder??
 
Ahhh so happy! Everything turned out to be okay, and we saw baby measuring the right size with a heart beat! 134 bpm. :baby::happydance:
 
Hope you didn't have to wait too long, Bookity!

I just got my first baby present! SIL sent me two Aden and Anais swaddlers. She said they're her favorite blanket. Very exciting!
 
That's great Dentdoc!

Happenstance, I hope everything is ok!

Good luck with your scan, Bookity! I hope you didn't have to wait to long, especially with a full bladder!

Menelly, I'm so sorry about your sister. I lost my sister 9 years ago. It's really really hard. :hugs:
 
Absolutey devastated about Robin Williams, not sure if its the hormones but broke in to tears when I heard this morning! Currently watching Jumani.
 
You know, sex and other things can cause your cervix to bleed a little. Which is normal. After my scan I had a sesame seed size speck of blood after I cleaned up. I didn't even bother to ask the doc about it.
 
Happenstance:hugs: Hope everythings ok!

Bookity, good luck!:baby:

Dentdoc, so glad everythings ok:hugs:

Menelly :( I cant imagine, thinking of you hun:hugs:

Sorry to everyone not feeling great:hugs:

I've not been feeling great so its hard to keep up, got more IV fluids yesterday which helped some:shrug:
 
Thanks so much for all your kind thoughts and wishes. They must've worked as the scan showed a healthy baby measuring right on target. :cloud9: I was certain I was going to get bad news.

Unfortunately I'm still bleeding and the clots are getting worse. The sonographer said she couldn't see any reason for the bleeding and that I had to take it a day at a time. She said to be realistic, that all the scan showed was that baby was today, and that I had to go back if things got worse. I'm so happy I got good news but looks like I'm not out of the woods yet.

I'm glad to read your scan went well Dentdoc and hope all you other ladies are doing well. Thanks again for being there :flower:
