Grace- you are in 2nd tri. It starts at 13 wks. Your ticker says 12 and some days so you are in your 13th wk. Like days 1-7 would be wk 1 and day 8 would be 1 wk 1 day or the 2nd wk.
Nicole- so happy your daughter is attempting walking and making progress. Get excited and get her excited. I'll suck it up and make sure i'm dosed up on my meds so we can get together!
Aspe- those look positive. You should try an frer in a couple of days with fmu. When's your b'day?
Krissy- yay on the weight loss!
Janelle- 2nd tri! And all those freebies! That's awesome!
Hello Misty & Kerry. Misty- yikes on your desk, looked like mine when I was working!
Well, still don't feel great. Oh, well getting used to it again. Yay for feeling yucky! Lol.....there is a reward in the end!
Had my dr appt today. My bp was high so he was all concerned. I wasn't. Lower than it was last time and it is only high at the dr's. I didn't use to have white coat hypertention, until I went and saw the neurologist for my f/u and got 'so we already have you on topamax to try and help your migraines so I think we will keep that regimen for the seizures your eeg showed.' What? 'you didn't already know? The dr that ordered it didn't tell you?' Nope, couldn't get through to that dr to get my test results, so it was really unexpected and now I fear the worst every time I go to the dr and my bp is high.....no matter what the visit is for. Turned out that either topamax or cymbalta or the combo was the cause. Stopped taking them and seizures- gone.
Anyway, the ob wanted to do my bp again before I left. Then they do exam and try to find a heartbeat. Couldn't find it. So now i'm thinki.g the worst. So they had me lay down to get my bp again and it was finally fine....surprisingly since I was still panicing. So, yet another u/s today. The tech was out so the nurse did it. Knowing only the bare min about the machine. Started to look and she didn't know how to turn on the blood flow and was franticly searching for a hb or any sign of movement. 'well, i'm not.....' Moved the transducer and there was a jump and finally movement. I think baby was sleeping and got startled. Such a relief to see movement.....and the flicker of the hb was finally found. *sigh nothing can be easy or can I feel like things are ok bc it sems like there are problems and scares everywhere with this one. So I am now up to 4 u/s. Can I break a record or something?! Lol
Oh, and I asked about the u/s dating....going backwards, the ahead and backwards again. i've had different techs each time. He didn't like that the last one took me backwards again and is going based on the 2nd one for now. So technically a day behind or so from lmp, so then he decided just to leave it at lmp due date. Wish the nurse would have known how to take measurements or atleast print me a pic. Oh well. Seeing movement was the best today.
oh, misty....i just hid my signature so that was why my ticker was gone. But i'll leave it on now that for now they are giving my original dates back.....atleast for a few wks! Lol
