August Sunbeams!

My 6 week was internal and no spotting but I'm also on progesterone. Monday needs to hurry up and get here so I can get my next scan. I also really need to look for a new OB. I don't like the one I have and my fertility doc will be referring us back to my OB at 12 weeks. If I got with the hospital my insurance would want me to (cheaper) they have no NICU and that worries me a little. So i think i'm gonna pay more and get an OB through the larger hospital closer to my house.

I would do the same. I'm seeing a fertility specialist as well and, though she said I can stay with her for my future appointments, I really think I'm going to switch back to a regular OB. I hate to leave her because I really like her but the hospital where she works out of is like 45 minutes from my house and I don't know if I can make it that far when I'm in labor. The hospital where my first two children were born at is right here in town. Unfortunately the midwife I was seeing with my first two children won't have anything to do with me because of my RLs which puts me in the "high risk" category so I will have to see a doctor. The hospital in town also doesn't have an NICU therefore if the baby is born prematurely, it would have to be life flighted to the hospital where my fertility specialist works. It really is a sticky situation.

kind of a yucky question but have any of you had an increase in vaginal discharge. I know i'm on progesterone so I already have some from that but the last few days i've had more of a watery discharge. hmmmm

 

[Kuawen]

I have most certainly noticed an increase! I'm also on estrogen but some days I notice just more overall, and usually on those days I notice my preggo symptoms are stronger or I'm extra emotional. My nurse told me it's probably from increased estrogen.

 

[fairycat]

Ive had an increase too. From what I've heard it's normal in pregnancy due to hormones. It gets quite annoying and I go through many underwears because it's gross. Lol. Mines mostly watery too.

Tmi I know but I notice a big increase in discharge after sex. I thought I lost my mucus plug once because there was so much.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! I was so scared for the rest of the day that we'd somehow hurt the baby.

 

[swimmyj1]

Hahaha so glad I'm not alone 😂😂

I get an increase in discharge every now and again but its mainly quite dry or its creamy. When I get the increase its like ewcm. Not had that for a while though

I've had the increase in discharge as well, but my biggest concern lately is that I'm so tired you could knock me over with a feather. Besides a very slight vitamin d deficiency, my blood tests are all normal. The first trimester is exhausting. I hope once the placenta takes over I can be a bit more productive...I can barely focus. All I can think about is sex, eating, and sleeping. Pregnancy has turned me into a pubescent teen. Lol

I don't know what happened, but I got a surge of energy today and spent the whole afternoon doing guinea pig laundry and deep cleaning and rearranging my kitchen.

 

[theiska]

Lol! Guinea pig laundry?

 

[fairycat]

Yeah, I make by their bedding out of fleece. It's like the equivalent of cloth diaper laundry.

 

[theiska]

Gotcha. I was picturing them in tiny clothing, haha. My kids have guinea pigs that they absolutely love, at their dad's place.

 

[fairycat]

I figured... i thought about tiny little clothes when I wrote that . I couldn't imagine life without guinea pig wheeks and rumbles.

 

[Kuawen]

Aww now I miss my guinea pig. They're such awesome pets

 

[fairycat]

For sure! I never knew how cool they were til we got ours.

 

[swimmyj1]

Scan went get I get to upgrade to an Obgyn so now I'll have to wait until probably 12 weeks for my next scan. Heart rate of 180

 

[Kuawen]

Congrats on the beautiful scan and being released to the obgyn, swimmy! what a cute little Gummi bear!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Great news swimmy!!

Fairy I was also picturing tiny guinea pig clothes?!! Haha x

Ladies I wish you all well in your preganacies. I will be leaving this group. Sadly I am having a 3rd miscarriage. We are so devastated words cannot describe. Baby is over a week behind on measurement and heartbeat is very slow. It's horrible knowing I'm just waiting for my little angel to die inside of me. I feel like I'm in a bad dream and won't wake up.

Take care of yourselves and keep on growing those beautiful little miracles xx
