Hey guys, I havent logged on in quite a while... dont worry about the no symptoms thing... i was too... then wham.. ive been puking since friday night.. its simmered down now since ive been eating foods to reduce it.... but it came out of nowhere.... its different though with my first i felt queazy before but with this one its like "oh okay im gong to puke in a second" walk to bathroom and do it, get up and its like it never happened or its no big deal. lol i have very laid back morning sickness I guess haha

Other than that,, my fatigue has calmed down now i dont have to nap every 5 minutes and my cravings are settling down at least I'm craving healthy food now BUT my blood tests came back yesterday and I have Hyperthyroidism my mom had it after i was born and she had weight problems I'm praying that I don't gain weight over this and have a lifelong problem like my mama... Doc said its not too bad, they just want to take extra caution as I'm pregnant. other than that im very healthy and everything is looking great..

OOH and ladies, I HAVE MY ULTRASOUND IN 9 DAYS (Dec 20th) woohoo!

 

[benjismom]

Just out of shear curiosity... What medical method are you using? Midwife? Family Doctor? OBGYN?

I have a midwife intake appointment on January 7th Im excited!

 

[pola17]

Im seeing my OB/GYN

BTW does anyone feel itching on belly and breasts???
I want to scratch so badly! It's been 2 days!

 

[Mattsgirl]

I don't feel itchy my boobs just hurt like crazy. Me and the stairs are not getting along right now. I think I might need a better bra.
I tried to make my appointment today but apparently I need a positive pregnancy test from their lab before they will make any appointment. So I'll be doing that tomorrow morning. I'm just so ready to have my first appointment and hear a doctor say that everything is fine and my baby is healthy. Or at least be able to take the steps to make it healthy.

 

[pola17]

Awesome! I've been wearing a sports bra... It helped with my boobies in pain! Also, they were about to pop out of my bra!

I feel itchy every night in bed - like an under the skin itch - keeps me awake for ages.

And I'm feeling sick now this past week nearly - didn't even have dinner tonight - poor DH went out and bought steak, pepper sauce, peas & spuds and a lovely dessert and I couldn't even think about eating - so he didn't eat either. I just had rice krispies to keep the hunger off tonight! Hopefully be up for steak tomorrow

 

[benjismom]

aww hunni yeah i dont feel like eating at ALL tonight we didnt made dinner, but i know DH is hungry.. i REALLY want cheese cake and mashed potatoes though so that might happen hahha

If its a new doctor they will go over your and your SO's family health history, you will get a LOT of blood taken I had about 8 viles had to lay down cause i was dizzy oh and be prepared for a urine sample I needed to give one and I didnt know!.. so i had to sit around the lab for an hour until i had to pee. I had mine at 4 weeks when I found out with my family doctor so she booked my ultrasound for 8 weeks (next week!)

Theres not much too the first appointment but lots of tests and questions

Good luck!!

Benji- maybe you're having a girl!! I was that way with my daughter and so far just a little nausea here and there.

Anchor- do not worry about lack of symptoms. I don't really have any either and have been getting my levels checked and they are really good so you can be symptom free! Also, it could hit you at any moment too.

Pola- hope the scan went well?!

I have a scan today to check for heartbeat before we leave for UK tomorrow! Hopefully all goes well.

 

[pola17]

My scan is at 2:30pm!
They have taken my blood sample at 8am.
The nurses in this hospital are such sweet hearts! They're giving me the results by 10am. There's a chapel in the clinic, so I'm considering to go and pray!!!

I'll update you as soon as I know something! Thank you!

 

[pola17]

Test results:
Expected hcg: 1530 (if it doubled from last Thursday when I was 195)
Results: 1600
Dr says that it will be confirmed I might not have an ectopic on this afternoon's ultrasound.
I'll pray for baby to be in the right place... But do usually hcg double even tho you have an ectopic?
I hope it's a good sign!

Keep those good vibes coming!

 

[anchor08]

Yes, that's GREAT news on the hcg! Keep us posted.

 

[pola17]

Thanks!
In an hour I have an ultrasound... Im nervous, and excited! Im just hoping for the best!

 

[Mattsgirl]

Pola Those numbers are GREAT!! FX for the ultrasound to go good.

Went and had my pregnancy test done at the doctors lab, I was told that it should only take 5 minutes to get results and so I waited. 30 minutes later I got the envelope that confirmed I'm pregnant!! Whoop Whoop!! I was really nervous. So I got my first appointment made for December 26! I'll be about 8 weeks by then. I really hope we get to have an ultrasound then. They also already scheduled my follow up appointment for the 25 of January, and I'll be 12 weeks then. I'm soo excited these next two weeks are gonna be so slow.

Hope everybody else is doing good.
