2015 MARCH-MALLOWS... Due in March 2015!! Come join us!

Glad to hear everything went well, DrMum! It's nice that they will do what you need for reassurance.
I've been doing pretty good these last few days. It seems my symptoms have been subsiding slowly. I'm trying not to freak out about that, as I'm at 12 weeks, which is further than I made it last time with my MMC, but I'm just trying to keep sane until Friday, when I have my 12 week scan. My nausea is still there, but not nearly as bad, and really only when I over eat (which is at every meal because I'm so freaking hungry all the time!), and I'm not nearly as exhausted as I was even just a few days ago. I'm still tired, just not as bad. The only symptom that has stayed the same is the sore boobs. Although the pain has changed slightly.
I've taken a few Tylenol myself. I've had a few bad headaches, and one bad earache that required one tylenol at bed time. I never would have fallen asleep without it! Although I've taken only 4 tylenol this entire first trimester, I try not to feel guilty. I took a few when I was pregnant with my son, and no harm done.

DrMum- I'm so glad your appointment went well.

Im glad that they cardio team doesnt think another fetal death would be likely in this pregnancy.. i cannot imagine how hard living through that would be.. you are so brave for trying again, its very admirable how you are so determined to overcome it, DrMum

as for symptoms.. mine have been fading a bit too, I still have slight nausea, which is a bit worse when Im hungry or at night.. still really tired all the time, and sore boobs, but not quite as debilitating as it was these previous weeks. I was reading its perfectly normal because not only has HCG levels peaked so your body is now able to get used to a stable level rather than increasing levels, but also the placenta is growing everyday and its starting to take over things more and more

I also take a baby aspirin every day with my prenatals, and i swear its been the miracle drug!!
I also take a supplement: alpha-lipoic acid, which is a powerful antioxidant that also helps with cell regeneration and glucose uptake by cells, so it can help prevent diabetes.. not that Im at a huge risk for diabetes, but you never know in pregnancy

DrMum, glad to hear everything went okay!

Thanks for the update, Drmum. Good news is always welcome!

I had a little less nausea today. Small victories!

 

[ruthb]

Excellent news Drmum!

I can't stop staring at the ultrasound pictures, it didn't feel real until I saw baby on the screen moving. What an amazing experience I wish I had took a video recording as I've now gone back to it not feeling real. Only 8 weeks to go until the next one!

Hi ladies, I haven't been on here in awhile. Thought I'd come and update you guys that I lost my little bean almost 2 weeks ago. Been a rough past 2 weeks, but I now have an angel baby watching over my family and I. Thank you for this group, and I wish you all a happy and healthy 9 months.

Hi ladies, I haven't been on here in awhile. Thought I'd come and update you guys that I lost my little bean almost 2 weeks ago. Been a rough past 2 weeks, but I know have an angel baby watching over my family and I. Thank you for this group, and I wish you all a happy and healthy 9 months.

So sorry Hun!

I'm so sorry, RockNRollBaby

 

[curlykate]

So sorry to hear that, RockandRollBaby. Big hugs. Please make sure to check out the miscarriage forum, if you get the chance. The ladies in there are a great support.

I am so sorry for your loss RockNRollbaby Hugs xx

I put this on the first tri board but I thought you ladies might have an insight too. it totally caught me off guard!


I am 10+5 and was just listening to my Doppler. I found buby on my old c-section scar just to the left as always. out of interest i started moving the wand around and about 2-3 inches across to the right I found another heartbeat!! Both heartbeats are super fast 160-180bpm.

do you think it is just the one baby I can here or could there be two?!?
I immediately went back to the left where I always find it and it was still there. Could it be an echo or is baby big enough to be heard on both sides now?

I had a super quick (lucky to be 30sec) scan at 6 weeks. the tech never zoomed in and you could barely see anything (it looked like a snow storm).

12 week NT scan next Thursday.

Wouldn't that be amazing!

Foxycleopatra- I had the same thing happen to me, so I specifically told the ultrasound tech that I was worried about 2 babies (since I already had twins) and she said there was only one. It could be the placenta, which reflects the heartbeat. Or, it could be two babies lol

Man, so much to catch up on! I have been trying to save data on my phone (we live way out in the country so we don't have internet at our house, the only time I can get on an actual computer is at work...when my boss isn't here )

Love seeing the ultrasound pictures! How cute!! Especially now that some are starting to look like actual babies instead of gummy bears, haha.

Also love seeing everyone's bumps! I'll post a pic of my bump in a second from my phone. I feel HUGE (but I love it!

I caught up a little, about the maternity clothes and coats. We live in Michigan, so it gets FUURHEEZING here in the winter. I've never bought a maternity coat though, I'm usually too hot when I'm pregnant anyway. If it's above 30 degrees, I don't even bother with a coat, lol. DS1 was born in November and DS2 in February and I was constantly going outside to cool down from hot flashes.

As far as maternity clothes go, I definitely cannot fit into my regular clothes now. Have you ladies looked into the facebook online yard sale sites in your area? Is that a thing near you? It's really popular in my area and I scored 22 motherhood maternity shirts for work and tanks, and a maternity maxi skirt for $30 yesterday!!! They look like brand new! Some of them I can't wear yet though because the stomach part is too big for me yet. At least I know they'll fit when my stomach is huge.

I have an ultrasound this afternoon So excited to see a baby that looks like a baby now! I'm really hoping he or she cooperates so I can get a good shot of the nub for guesses. I see the doctor right after my ultrasound and fx'd he says I can stop taking my progesterone now.

I have been feeling alright, not too bad but pretty nauseous in the evenings and some early mornings. I have pregnancy insomnia HORRIBLY though. Every single day I wake up at 3:30-4am. I go back to sleep around 6 when I don't have to work, but when I do have to work it's torture because I have to stay awake.

Hope everyone is doing great and to anyone who is needing hugs! I'll post a pic of my ultrasound later this afternoon. Fx'd to see a healthy bean!

12 week bump!

 

[sn0wbunnie]

9 weeks & I still can't hear the heartbeat on my Sonoline. Could it be because I have a retroverted uterus?

I'm seeing a specialist tomorrow regrading my thyroid & I'm super nervous. Then I have my root canal on Wednesday Ahhhhh!
