August 2013 Rainbow Babies!!

[TXRunnerGirl]

How's everyone feeling today? So far so good with me, mild nausea in the morning but I think I can blame myself for that because I think so much about it. Does anyone else feel their own heart beating really fast and loud? Mine is crazy in the mornings!

I told my sister today and she was super shocked because I had lied to her and told her our IUI didn't work and af had shown up. So she was very surprised. She is the only one we are telling for now and hopefully if everything goes good in the next coming weeks, we will tell our parents Christmas day!

Feeling fine, just tired. I also had to urinate more than normal. I hope that is a good sign and not a flag for UTI!! Every time I drank a few sips of water, I felt the need to go right away. Last pregnancy I did not experience this at all. I was just very thirsty.

I had a scan for my initial OB appointment today. I am around 4 weeks so they didn't see anything but I am hoping my blood test results will come back with good levels. I am really worried about my progesterone being low. Other than that, no real concerns other than if the gestational sac will show up by the end of next week when I go in for another appointment. I am going on a road trip tomorrow and have so much to do before I leave town.

I am going to be exhausted by the time I get to my hotel tomorrow, but the trip should be worth it!!

I will say lots of prayers for you! My ob didn't want me to schedule a ultrasound before 7 weeks because she was afraid it would be too early and that they wouldn't be able to see anything and that they would just have to send me home and reschedule and they knew i would be upset. I am going in at 7 weeks and trying to stay as positive and healthy until then. did they do bloodwork to check your progesterone levels?

I was told that they were just going to draw blood to run the usual tests for their patients. I brought up the subject of progesterone but the OB was dismissive of it. I will ask him on Monday when they hopefully call if they drew blood to check for that.

Good morning ladies!

I haven't had a lot of symptoms. Just tired. Like all the time. And hungry/thirsty.

Passed out last night without taking all my meds... Woke up at 5am and realized! So I took them all. Laid back down and about 15 minutes later I threw up. Gross I know but no actual pills came up. But my first throw up... Woohoo!

Have fun on the road trip and good luck at your scan next week! I have my 2nd one on Monday. First one showed the sac but nothing inside :-/ but PMA right!!

 

[Hope1409]

I dont have much symptoms either. I have mild cramps on and off for a short period of time then it goes away. Otherwise i dont feel pregnant. Three more days until our ultrasound!!!

 

[Barhanita]

i don't have any symptoms. breasts are tiny bit sore, and some mild cramping

 

[Xlaura_BellaX]

so im waiting until after Christmas and if everything is ok then ill be going to see the consultant
i just cant afford the transport there and back weeky, right before xmas! so monitoring my sugars and taking folic acid at home atm, as soon as i tell my consultant ill be given a scan so that's good

 

[Crystal5483]

I'm exhausted. I opened up three boxes of Christmas stuff and took the rope off the tree box and then sat down with a cup of juice lol

I don't have my second scan until Thursday, but I am hoping I will get good results back from my blood draw tomorrow so I can know whether or not I need to keep the appointment. I feel a lot better about this pregnancy, even though I am really worried at times. The first time around I had a feeling deep down inside from the start that things would not end well.

This morning I woke up very hungry but soon after breakfast I took my usual pills (blood pressure med, prenatal, folic acid pill, and B complex vitamin) but felt sick after that. I ate some crackers and that helped but only temporarily. I was kind of light headed and very tired from the night before, as well as sluggish. I felt better after I ate lunch. I wonder if the morning sickness is coming on

As of today I also had a lot more cervical mucus. It feels like a Slip N Slide down there lol. Sorry if that is TMI. D I had this briefly the last time I got pregnant only to miscarry, so not sure how to take it. Just hoping my levels are within the normal range when they give me my results~~

 

[Crystal5483]

Good luck Mama!

2nd scan tomorrow ... Eeeek

 

[mrswemyss]

Geez I almost want to say i wish I had symptoms so I would know... My sore boobs will have to do till my last beta test tue. I suppose

 

[Hope1409]

Good luck tomorrow crystal! Keep us posted!

It is getting harder and harder to take my prenatals. They are so huge! I am going to take them with me on tues and ask my RE if there is any other prenatal I can take that isn't so huge...or better yet a gummi one. I thank God for another morning sickness free day! I hope I'm lucky like my sister and get no morning sickness at all....ya right!

[TXRunnerGirl]

Morning ladies! Good luck this morning Crystal, can't wait to hear how everything goes. I don't go to the doctor til dec 27th and starting to get a little anxious about it! My symptoms vary from day to day, and this morning I woke up and didn't feel anything. I think my nerves are taking over my excitement. Is anyone else feeling like this? Should I try to go in earlier to see the doctor?
