Early December-ers (or late Novs) - Christmas Babies!!

[MishC]

I've just been informed by someone ive been speaking to who did IVF at the same time as me that the progesterone drugs we're on now are a very high dose and did give off ALOT of early pregnancy symptoms! I'm so glad im not going crazy!

Nodoubt - Hope you feel better soon. Its an awful feeling.

 

[Kelly9]

Mush I don't think it's to early. I definitely had ms from 3+6 to 4+2 but it's been gone since then. I do expect it to come back. I had it around 5 weeks with my girls.

I am glad to not be on fertility meds this time around! I forgot how yucky they made me feel initially.

Calling docs to make an apt

 

[No Doubt]

I had another small bout of nausea this morning after I had my muffin. The only thing I'm hating right now is that EVERYTHING gives me gas. And I don't know if it's because I had a c-section with my first, but I feel like there's absolutely no room in there so it makes me cramp so bad. TMI..sorry. I'm still tired. Saturday was a wrap, but yesterday and today not as bad.

My appt is for April 10. I thought this was a bit early as I'll only be 6 weeks, and last time they told me they don't schedule until around 10. But whatever, I'll go and get that long 2.5 session out of the way. This was says only 15mins, but we'll see. Hopefully we can stick to that as I've been on this ride before.

 

[Kelly9]

No doubt I'd think that was normal given your other is only 9-10 months old! You didn't have surgery that long ago. I'm still cramping every now and then but I've never had a section. I remember it being very normal in all my pregnancies.

I also had a bit of light nausea today.

 

[No Doubt]

Thanks, I feel better hearing that.

 

[MishC]

Kelly - The meds are awful aren't they but at least they're doing their job! Did you manage to get your appointment booked?

Nodoubt - Not long until your appointment. I've still got cramping on and off. As far as i'm aware the cramping can go on for awhile and I remember having it with my daughter that's how I found out I was pregnant with her. I had a section with my daughter too. Are you planning on having another one?

 

[No Doubt]

I would like to have a vaginal birth if possible, if that's what you mean. But I know I may not be able to. I just have to wait and see how the pregnancy progresses.

Another child after this one, if this is what you mean, I would like to. Hubbs is on the fence about that, but I think he'll land on my side eventually, lol. He's stretched pretty thin as it is right now without a new baby on the way. So it will be a while before a third.

 

[MishC]

Sorry I should have been more clear. I meant did you think you would have another section. What were your reasons behind having a section the first time round?

 

[No Doubt]

He was an emergency section. I made it to 9cm dilated and then they told me I had to have a section. His heart rate kept dropping after the contractions which they said were normal, but then it got to the point where it was taking a while for it to come back up. The longer we went the longer it took. They kept rolling me to reposition him, but eventually that didn't work either and then it just basically wasn't coming back up, so they did the section.

She told me I could very well have a vaginal birth this go round, but I may have to have another section. Honestly this go round I'm a bit afraid of a vaginal birth cause of possible complications cause I had a section. Weird I know, but still...

 

[Kelly9]

They were horrible I don't miss the progesterone vaginally three times a day! I gained a lot more weight with the ivf cycle pregnancy to.

I had my apt today I'm being sent for a dating scan at some point they've recorded everything and confirmed pregnancy. My first prenatal will be in 2 weeks with the doctor. Got a prescription for more prenatal vitamins. Ms is getting more frequent was dry heaving today.

 

[MishC]

No Doubt - I hope you get the delivery you want and it goes smoother for you this time. If you want a vaginal delivery then I would ask you MW about all the facts and take it from there.

Kelly - My clinic does the pogestrone a little different to everywhere else. I have to take 2 on a night before bed. The instructions and everyone I have spoken to say to only take 1 at a time but this isn't how my clinic does it. I was so bloated yesterday but then I got diarrhoa again and now I have a flat stomach now. Good news about your appointment yesterday.

 

[No Doubt]

Kelly, blah about the ms, but yay for the appt.

Mish, I have the bloating too. It seems like anything I eat bloats me or gives me a touch of nausea. Only mine isn't coming out unfortunately. I have to get some prunes.

 

[MishC]

It's began ladies - I was sick while picking my daughter up from school today! Oh the joys.

 

[Kelly9]

Oh no to being sick! I've dry heaved a few times but no actual puking yet. My ms isn't as bad yet as it's been in previous pregnancies. It's still a little early for that for me though. We'll see how the next week goes. My tiredness has eased up some to.

I had to do vaginal progesterone twice daily. it was so gross. We we're let on it for the first 12 weeks I believe.

 

[No Doubt]

Just the touch of nausea here and there for me, but no real ms yet. With my ds it kicked in around week 6, then got worse, then let up aroun weeks 13-15. Never threw up, but the constant nausea and dry heaving...blah. Not looking foward to that, but I'll grin and bear it for my peanut.

Still tired and that actually feels worse today. Getting solid through the night sleep though. It helps, but I'm still dragging. Last night I fell asleep on the chaise (my favorite preggo spot from my previous pregnancy, lol). When I woke up, hubbs had given ds a bath and put him to bed, taken the dogs out, washed bottles...everything, lol. I was so out of it all I could say was "what is going on". I know he thinks I'm crazy. He loves first tri though cause he gets to play Xbox and do whatever cause I'm sleeping all the time, lol. So he doens't have to worry about me wanting to go anywhere or get out.

 

[Kelly9]

I spoke to soon, been sick feeling and tired all day. I'm not sleeping well at night though, my other two keep me up often enough. You can tell I'm preggo when I've got both kids fed and tucked in bed at 6:15! It's 6:28 now and they're both fast asleep and have been for the last 10 minutes! and I still have 30 mins of a cardio workout to do tonight.

 

[No Doubt]

Ha Kelly, so true! My hubbs works evenings a few nights a week and last night ds was so needy. He had to be my conjoined twin or he was not happy, lol. I called my mom and him just to complain cause I was exhausted and it was making me cranky. But I fed him around 7:30, then gave him his night time bottle and hit the shower and put him to bed, lol. Just didn't have it in me last night.

 

[Kelly9]

My youngest has been sttn again finally but usually when does the other wakes.

My ms is doing weird things it comes and goes. Today I was pretty much fine. It seems whenever I say I'm good I get sick and vise versa.

 

[MishC]

Hey ladies - Sorry I haven't been around I haven't been very well. I'm on a high dose of antibiotics at the mo so should hopefully pick up soon. I have tonsillitis, sinusitis and a bad chest. To top that off i'm suffering with constipation which im not thinking is what's causing me to have stomach/back ache.

How are you ladies doing?

 

[Kelly9]

I hope you feel better soon!

I had a big gush of blood last night after some cramping so now I'm waiting for
Betas on mon and wed to see if I still have a viable pregnancy. Mostly
Just sad and worried. No ms for three days so my lack of Symptoms has me concerned.
