(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[SugarBeth]

I had a breakfast of toast today. It's both all I could think of that didn't make my stomach turn and all I had time to cook because the kitchen makes me so sick. I'm now exactly 7 weeks, and every few days the morning sickness kicks up even worse, just when I think I've figured out how to deal with it.

I don't know yet if I'll be getting the testing. Part of me wants to, and another part is scared to because of the really high false positives. I don't need anything else in this pregnancy to scare me!

I crave sub sandwiches and cheese steaks. Haven't gotten any yet though. I'd love to order in some Pizza Hut (what's better for a pregnant woman than having cravings delivered to your door?) but I learned last pregnancy that it's a sure recipe to make me throw up all night long. Can't handle grease!

In other news, I'm really bitchy today! I'm not sure why, but since I woke up it feels like ANYTHING makes me horribly grumpy or angry. I never got this way in my other pregnancies, but this time it seems to be hard to control.

How is everyone doing..

First day of throwing up for me.. lol im sure not the last..

How many of you are doing the 1st tri testing... with the scan ??

We didn't do the testing with dd. I doubt we will do it this time either. My ms seems worse this pregnancy still no throwing up but lots of nausea....yuck.

What is everyone craving? For me it's been eggs, pizza, and potatoes.

For me it's been french fries with roasted garlic mayo from a particular restaurant here and bacon. So far at least.

Thanks Laelani! Is this your first? I had a mc in December so I super nervous this time!
I'm having really strong symptoms though, throwing up all the times and my boobs are amazing (haha!) so I'm hoping this is my sticky bean

Yes this is my first. Sorry to hear about the mc but it's great that your symptoms are a lot stronger this time around. Hopefully this is it! I had what we think could have been a mc little over a year ago. We aren't sure what happened because I had my period late and also got a very faint positive on a test. When I went to the doctor a few days later they said there was no pregnancy and that it probably came out with my AF and that it's like it never happened but the test would have still come back positive because it takes a little bit for the HcG to leave your system in those cases apparently. So yeah I don't count it as a mc it was still really hard and I can relate to those who have them a little more now.

My miscarriage was alot like yours. I started spotting a few days after ovulation and took a test and it was positive. I went in for bloodwork and my hcg levels were really low. My dr called and said that there was a pregnancy but it would miscarry. I kept spotting for another few days and then my period came 3 days late. It was still upsetting even though I only knew I was pregnant for a few days. It's also made me a lot more nervous with this pregnancy. I spotted frequently with dd but I never really worried about mc bc i didn't realize how common they were. I spotted once when I wiped on Tuesday and I was sure I was having a mc only to go in for an ultrasound a couple hrs later and see a beautiful strong hb. So I can totally relate

Yeah it can definitely be pretty scary stuff. I have had zero spotting so my alarm bells haven't started ringing or anything so I'm good there. As long as I don't have any then I think I will be able to keep the freak outs to a minimum

Guess that was my same problem. Monday night I ate half a large pepperoni pizza and woke up super sick in the morning and did have to throw up

Starry - So very sorry to hear about your loss. There are no words, but we're all here if you need us!

AFM - I'm incredibly emotional right now, tried to talk to DH last night about the fact that i'm COMPLETELY lonely all the time - I HATE HATE HATE my job and i'm stuck here through my pregnancy, seriously I don't talk to a single person at work, and then come home and DH doesn't get home till about 10pm so I'm alone from when I wake up at 5am - 10pm.. it's just really depressing right now. And we got in a huge fight about it and since we were already fighting i went ahead and brought up the fact that he hasn't been asking about how i'm feeling, baby, anything! UGH he was all excited at first but now I feel like his excitement has worn off help..

Sorry about the whining...

I did start getting some very mild spotting last Friday and occasionally have had some since. only once or twice did I get a tiny spot on my pantyliner, mostly its only when I wipe. Its a very pale brown, most of the time its so pale that it is probably just that I have extra cm... I'm mostly fine with it since I know its very common and its been almost a week and haven't had any other signs that i'm going to mc... temps still up and the few symptoms I do have haven't stopped. I'd be more worried about not having much symptom wise right now if I HAD them earlier and suddenly they left....

Yeah that's completely normal and I wouldn't worry too much about it either.

Thanks for your responses ladies..

I did not do the testing with my first two either.. but this is my last pregnancy so Im going ahead and doing it this time

 

[lilrojo]

How is everyone doing..

First day of throwing up for me.. lol im sure not the last..

How many of you are doing the 1st tri testing... with the scan ??

What is the 1st trimester testing? Is it an early pregnancy scan to check for viability? I'm planning I getting one of those in three weeks when I'm 7 weeks 2 days pregnant, hopefully hear a hb. Can't wait til 12 weeks!

 

[Hoping girl 2]

I'm doing fine, getting really anxious/nervous for my first scan next Tuesday. I only had true ms on Tuesday morning. Since then I've been mostly fine. I still don't have much of an appetite, i'm sticking to plain/soft foods...mashed potatoes, soups, applesauce...etc. My most consistent symptom right now is fatigue!! I can't go without a nap everyday

How is everyone else? Anyone else still not having many symptoms? (I can't help but worry )

I have NO symptoms whatsoever. I could feel a stabby pain in my right lower abdomen, but that's even disappeared today... TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

 

[lilrojo]

Nope its testing the blood for Downs and other genetic abnormalities and doing a scan to check the fluid at the back of the neck..

Oh! I get it now, sorry probably won't then, don't think it would change my decision to continue with the pregnancy anyway

Its hard to not freak out!!!...even though I was miserable the other morning when I was sick...it made me feel good about the pregnancy though. Not sure why I only had it that one day so far. I think it was from all the greasy pizza the night before, and that I woke up with a HORRIBLE headache and took some Tylenol on a mostly empty stomach... but the nausea started so soon after the Tylenol was taken I'm not sure it could have caused that reaction so quickly... who knows I'm glad and nervous all at the same time that my symptoms are either really mild or mostly non-existent so far.

 

[lilrojo]

Well I have thrown up 2x already today.. so yay for that.. you want to trade anyone.. lol

 

[DHBH0930]

Yes and no! just think to yourself as you are hugging the toilet how healthy your baby must be to be causing this for you!

Hang in there! Hope you are done for the day

Don't worry about not throwing up every day! I haven't thrown up at all. I asked my dr about it on tues and he said some women have more symptoms than others but it doesn't mean their hormones are higher or that the pregnancies are more viable its just a difference in how your body handles the hormones. My dr actually said my hcg and progesterone levels are on the high side I know it's hard not to worry though.

And for those ladies who are throwing up you have my sympathy! That would be miserable!
