Mine was 115 and 118- they checked it twice. Dr said btwn 106 and 150 is completely normal and there is a really wide range. I'm sure 108 is normal

don't be so quick to assume your miscarrying... I thought FOR SURE this weekend I lost the baby, I was cramping, spotting, and then clotting. but went to the Dr yesterday, we heard the heartbeat and baby looks GREAT. although, i'm only 8 weeks, i'm not out of the woods yet, but I thought I may give you a little ray of hope!

Morning sickness has officially hit me like an evil beast! I am off this week, thank god, but I have no idea how I am going to manage teaching while sick constantly! I am getting nervous about next week. Has it gotten bad for any of you?

it may sound weird but i was very sick now i drink a cup of decaf coffee first thing in the AM and my sickness is gone. lol

I was wondering if Im the only that hasn't went to the doctor yet. I have an appt for Monday the 28th. I'm around 8 weeks. So I haven't had any u/s yet. I guess once I see my ob then i'll prob get an u/s within a week or so after that. I just want to get to see my little bundle and hear the heart beat. Anyone else out there waiting for their appt? I think they made mine so late b/c of thanksgiving.

mojojojo - My first OBGYN appointment is December 15th. My clinic makes you wait until you are on or near your 10th week for your first appointment.

ktmittle - Morning Sickness has gotten really bad for me, too. My heads been in the toilet I'm frankly getting tired of just laying in bed all day but I feel like that is my only option

Dr's office called, they said that when I come in on December 15th, they are going to do an ultrasound themselves & blood work. Pretty sure I am already anemic, and I need iron. However, I can't take iron without talking to my doctor about taking stool softeners. I wish this doc didn't have his first appointments when the woman is 10 week. I come from an area when our first appointment at the latest is 8. LOL Okay, so only two weeks difference, blah!

 

[ktskittle]

I hear ya! all I want to do is lay in bed, but starting next week, that isn't an option. I think knowing that I am going to quit working on e the baby comes is going to make this school year/pregnancy drag even longer. Grrr. I will have to try the cup of decaf thing once I go back to work. I am not sure how I am going to keep the pg a secret from the principal when I am running for the for the toliet every hour.

Happy Thanksgiving​

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Even if you are not from the USA So, I haven't been able to take my prenatal vitamins because I've been really sick...and honestly, trying to swallow a huge pill just makes me gag & blahh! So, DH went grocery shopping at 5 am (I know...) this morning, but came back with GUMMY prenatal vitamins!! Chewing 2 of the gummies equals the amount i'd need, including 800 mcg of folic acid. Because the gummy obviously doesn't taste good... (yuck!) it's coated with sugar!...It still is a much better alternative for me & that makes me happy. I'm about to get my kids bathed and dressed for the holiday turkey dinner soon over at my sister-in-laws, the only problem is....is that I have been so sick today. It's 2 pm here, & i've been in bed all day. I've tried to get up, do some laundry but I just feel really icky. Apart of me thinks my iron is really low...and i'd like to get it checked out BEFORE December 15..lol. (My first OBGYN visit). Another issue I am worried about, is that I'm not doing so hot with food at this moment. I can only stand to look at it for a little bit, and so I am worried I am going to vomit all over at the family fest today Oh well.

Yours Truly

I totally feel you! I had a bad run in with a ham dinner last weekend. Bleck! I will never look at ham the same! Sea bands have been helping some though! Happy thanksgiving! (my once favorite holiday just isn't the same this year, but for good reason at least!)

Yup! End of last week I was feeling pretty nauseous - by mid-of this week I'm throwing up everything. Haven't really found anything that will stay in me. Sometimes oatmeal does and sometimes apples do, but mostly I throw things up all the time

I think it might have something to do with hcg levels - last week at 5 weeks (u/s showed 5 weeks) my level was 18 000 and I repeated bloodwork several days later and it went up, so it makes sense why.

Happy Thanksgiving to all American Ladies!

Hopefully MS won't ruin it too much for you

 

[SLCMommy]

Everyone, I had a wonderful dinner with my family....

...........then the second I got home I vomited it all up. Urgh, hormones!!!!!

 

[angieloo]

Happy Thanksgiving! Had a great dinner with the immediate family. We told them all today and it was so much fun. We changed it up a bit and it went like this instead: DH always starts off the 'this year I'm thankful for...' And we go around the table. Well he said I'm thankful for my health, my family and my amazing wife, but I'm most thankful for what's under you plates.
Then they all picked up their plates saw the ultrasound. It went so well and everyone was surprised so fun!

I did get sick twice- one super early when my mom grilled sausage, celery and onions for stuffing and again when I had half a deviled egg- which is my favorite

Hope everyone is having a good week!

 

[SLCMommy]

angieloo - mmm, I love deviled eggs! LOL

Aww this is so cute! I kinda told my mom and grandma yesterday at their house....by spending half the evening vomiting in the toilet

But my mom is superstitious and said she'll congratulate me once I hit second tri and I totally agree. Everyone congratulated me last time when we just found out and I lost it at 6.5 weeks so this time hubby and I wanted to wait for a scan or something, or even till end of 1st tri, but my MS decided that waiting sucked and "helped" me uncover my surprise

So now my mom, grandma and sister know. Everyone else is still in the dark haha

 

[angieloo]

Lol SLCmommy- I was so sad!!! I love them! And it made my stomach turn

Greenpear: that's how my mom first guess too- I got sick on Halloween

 

[ktskittle]

Lol... The Same thing happened to me. I "thought" I wanted devolved eggs until I got sick while trying to make them. I don't know how I am going to hide this at work now that the ms has kicked in.

^^^^ I have a wonderful boss and a great co-worker so I actually told them...and it was the best thing I could have done. My boss is so nice and lenient - lets me leave earlier and come later and use some leftover vacation hours. She says "you'll be more productive later on, so it's ok that you're taking time off now"

But I guess it depends on the boss. Hopefully yours will be just as understanding

 

[mojojojo563]

I hope everyone have a great Thanksgiving. We let the cat out of the bag and told our family everyone is so happy!! Welp except for my one sister in law.. She had no reaction at all nothing. She has a son that is 10 and it just seemed like she was a little mad?? But, I didn't let that get me down everyone else was very happy my mother in law was super excitied and so was my mom and dad. We told everyone that we are not going to find out the gender this time. It was a great day!!!
