Due In May :)

[shellgirl]

Am I a fatty because I went to McDonalds to get an order of fries because I REALLY wanted some and I went thru the drive thru and they gave me a kids meal and a double quarter pounder meal AND a strawberry banana smoothie...and I didn't tell them

Thanks a lot! You have officially made me want McDonalds now too. After I already went to Whole Foods to get things to make a healthy and nutrient rich meal. Hmmmm....I wonder if I could sneak over there and grab a snack before DH gets home and still make dinner...

Powell: that is so funny LOL. Did you eat all that?

The kale salad I was going to make suddenly doesn't sound so swell anymore

 

[robinson380]

Just the thougt of kale or a salad makes me want to vomit and I am usually a salad person!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

I've been dying for super noodles! Made them and was dissapointed :/! Booo! X

 

[JustFluffy]

I ate a salad for lunch... SO craving the fries right now though with all this talk LOL. I may have to sneak in a McDonalds run on the way home... The salad just isn't doing me justice anymore!

So my Dr got my HCG levels back and they aren't high enough to be a molar pregnancy. Which is a good thing. However, most likely it still isn't viable. I'm going back in on Saturday for another blood test, to see of my levels double. And for another ultrasound at the hospital on Monday afternoon. Ill have a better idea at that point what my options are. Might be a glimmer of hope, but I'm still thinking its not viable.

One thing I've learned is to grasp onto any glimmer of hope that is offered. Yes, it's good to face the possibility of a poor outcome but I think hope is important too.

AFM - still no official word yet. Office hours end in about half an hour so it's starting to look unlikely that I will get my results.

However, the technician was nice enough to give me some reason to hope. She said, "I can't say anything official but I do definitely see something."

So no word on a heart beat or anything. But she did say she thinks my dates are off which is possible as I'm often irregular and don't chart or using OPKS. She said she'd put my due date at May 28th rather than the 24th. She seemed very positive though. She said the growth lined up with my last scan (I had the same technician)

I can't really celebrate until I hear official word though. But ugh! I am sooo sick. I'm not really barfy but I feel groggy and have a sour stomach.

That's really good news!

Hey all

Had a dry puke this morning, nothing came out so managed to have a small breakfast and take my footballs (prenatals) I take an iron tablet every 4 days because I am naturally low in iron for some reason.

Starry - ultrasound techs aren't supposed to say ANYTHING about what they see on the screen so the fact that she said something to make you feel better is GREAT news! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all weekend!

Pro - Those dry heaves are the worst!

Everyone else, thank you for the outrageous Mcdonalds french fries craving I am now experiencing. The hubs is bringing home a pizza for dinner, but now I want some pizza AND Mcdonalds fries. Oh my, between the prednisone and growing a baby... I'm going to be enormous at the end of this pregnancy. Yikes!

I started the McDonalds fry thing lol oops!

And I definitely agree about the US tech saying ANYTHING at all is definitely a good sign. I got really lucky for my first US and got a lady from a different office and she told me everything she was doing, showed me every measurement and everything. The second lady turned the screen away from me and stayed stone faced the whole time. VERY nerve racking!

I am due May 30th.

I do agree with you ladies. I was talking with my mom and she said when she had a scan before her own m/c the nurse just said, "are you seeing your doctor soon?"

I'm definitely considering myself pregnant unless I hear otherwise. It's nice being able to discuss getting maternity jeans and/or reaching 2nd tri with DH. This whole past week I wasn't thinking ahead at all.

 

[Jary]

Well, I don't think I needed to worry about anything yesterday as I feel so sick this morning! Have retched a few times and can't face any food. Just having a glass of milk which I know isn't good when I'm off to work today but nothing is appealing still glad I'm feeling preggo again tho!

 

[Hann12]

Jary -snap! I was sick at 2am then dry heaving at 7am. I am going to eat though, it really helps this time around! I'm loving orange juice!

Starry - I think that sounds really positive plus if you were 4 days off what you thought then it would make even more sense that they saw very little the first time. I have a good feeling for you! It would make you 6+4 yesterday and they will hopefully have seen the heartbeat! I wish you didn't have the wait but I have a good feeling!

Off away for 24 hours so won't be on so will catch up tomorrow. Hope you have a good weekend!

Yay! Congrats to you!! That sounds great!! I remember when I was preggo with my daughter and son... back then those techs told me everything... they even told me my son was a boy at 12 weeks, I was psyched! Now with this one, when I had my scan at 5 weeks in the hospital, she wouldn't even turn the screen to me -_- ugh

I can't wait to hear more good news for you Starry!! ^_^

 

[nhpgator]

I must be very lucky - I got an ultrasound the first visit (that was for dating) but they have a flat screen tv on the wall so you can see everything they are doing and she was great at pointing out everything - even though there wasn't a lot at 4 weeks but she still showed me all the parts there and how they measured...crossing my fingers it stays that way.

 

[Starry Night]

Thanks everyone.


I think I'm the laziest First Tri mom ever! Dh works from home a lot so he looks after DS. This is really nice but I think it's making me lazy. With DS I had to be on bed rest but this time I don't. I'm just so useless when I'm nauseous and don't know how to fight through it. I could sleep all day.

One of our farmer friends gave us a freezer full of meat which DH wants to use exclusively to save us grocery money. Makes sense but it's pretty much all steak and right now the thought of them makes me feel so ill! So we're just having sandwiches, take out and other freezer/instant foods and DH is making half of those meals. I know there are pregnant ladies who run around right up until their due dates. How do you do it???? I'm hoping I'll feel more energetic in the 2nd tri. Things like vacuuming and dusting are going to have to wait until then.

I just feel so guilty like I'm ignoring DS. I do get breaks from my nausea so during those times I'll play with him (he likes to play rough sporty kind of games) but most times it's all I have just to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't hurt himself.

Anyone else feel like a useless slug?

 

[prolifer]

I want to be a useless slug but got 3 kids to chase, so laying around feeling sick is not an option for me. They can generally keep themselves occupied but when they get bored they come to me for something else to do or for food.

I spend as much time as I can laying down, just to keep myself from jumping up and puking because I hate it so bad >.<
