Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[girlinyork]

My sister was in the same state as the princess with both her pregnancies. She could have died. While I'm not a royalist and couldn't give a hoot about the royal family as an institution, it's sad she's suffering so badly but at least hyperemesis gravidarum is getting some airtime.

I've made us a signature banner at last! Just copy this (minus the space at the [ url and the page) into your siggy and it should work :)

Jess--Thats great I am glad your feeling more at ease.

GIY-- They are saying it is assocaited with a good pregnancy outcome and sometimes twins I am assuming your sister only had 1 each time

 

[monro84]

yay the signature banner for this group worked but it sucks I cannot put it with out the spoiler.

 

[girlinyork]

Yeah, my sister had one each time. It can be genetic and I know my gran suffered with it although not to the extent my sister did.

Never mind about the spoiler - it still looks good in there

Monroe - I think the same about her having previous m/c's. The story must have leaked, the poor dear. She has had so many issues having her privacy invaded!

Well, the instructions on my script made me feel better. It says to take them until I complete 12 weeks gestation (lol, sounds like animal planet, gestation) and there are 2 refills. I was expecting like 20 pills or something while they ran the tests, but the refills made me feel better. Like this is a frequent occurrence and the script usually works.

They gave me 2 refills also. I've been on them since 4 weeks. I think I almost lost the twins (my temp was dropping majorly), but I was able to hold it off with OTC cream until the OB got my script called in. I'll probably start weaning at about 12 weeks. I don't want to take a chance of doing it too early.

My OB called just to go over the progesterone since it was her nurse that called this AM. She doesn't like it to fall under 10 and I was still at 11.5, so she isn't too worried since I am starting supplements so soon.

Of course, it won't change anything if there is a problem, but at least if it's a healthy bean it's getting the support it needs. I'm reading a lot of positive info about successful pregnancies with people taking prometrium or other supplements, so I'm less of a mess than I was this morning. I was just bawling when I got off the phone. I will know Thursday one way or another if things are good. I don't think I'll see a hb if there was an issue causing the progesterone to be low so then I will know. I have had no spotting, cramping, or any other issues so I fully expect to have a flickering heartbeat at my scan. And if not, there is nothing I could have done differently and worrying about something I can't change is too much stress. I hope time doesn't crawl til it gets here!

 

[girlinyork]

Of COURSE there will be a healthy little heartbeat and a beautiful beany too x

I was very happy with the 49500 HCG. I don't know, I guess with the chemical before I never thought about it actually making it that high. That helps make me think things are good.

 

[girlinyork]

Definitely, that's a great hcg number

I can't believe how fast we're all ticking along. Flapjack is nearly 10 weeks!! We're knocking on the door of second tri almost

 

[mackjess]

Just sent the DH to the store for donuts. At least my cravings are making me feel like like things are still good!! I swear I'm going to start eating less junk and more veggies (I have increased the fruit and veggies, I've just added more junk too) once I get to the heartbeat part of all this. I think this part of the wait is going to be the scariest for me, so for now I'm eating whatever brings me some comfort. I think its cravings + stress eating for me.

MackJess-I love donuts normally but now most sweets look blah to me. Eat an extra donut for me! I have only really wanted salty stuff.

Ugh. Feeling so sick tonight. Threw up once already. I have a full day of work tomorrow and then my 8 week scan in the later afternoon. I am on pins and needles but I am praying that we will see our perfect LO with a strong heartbeat. I will keep you ladies updated.

 

[mackjess]

Bethnee, this is only the second time I've craved sweets, which is odd for me since I'm an all the time sweets lover normally. Lately it's been more salty, spicy, or something tomato based, or just tomatoes. And, I did eat a donut for you. I was just gonna eat 2, but 3 of them disappeared.

Good luck tomorrow! I'm sure it's going to be lovely, especially with all those symptoms.

Hi Ladies,

I just want to update you all on my exciting news. Dr estimates that I am 6w5d pregnant. I was SO nervous and feared for the worst when I first saw the sac but then I saw the fetal pole and flickering. My heart stopped; I could see the heartbeat. DH didnt seem happy until I asked the doc to explain what he was looking at. He was happy to see the heart beat.

Sticky dust to all xox

 

[girlinyork]

I wish I had cravings! I just hate everything

Scorpio that's amazing! You must be so happy. When is your due date. I'll add your ticker xx

 

[girlinyork]

Mackjess- glad they have given you something, You will be fine so many women have to have supplements and they go on to have healthy pregnancies... Xx

I'm still feeling sick, if I'm lucky I will get a few moments of non sickness... My manager popped over to see me and get my sick note from the doctor, its Awful feeling so sick in front of your manager.. X
