FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

[babyfeva]

Hi ladies, I'm sorry to be a downer but I'm stressed. My first betas was 4548 at 5 weeks then re-took my bloods 2 days later and found out it only went up to 4802. I guess I was supposed to wait for 3 days to re-test which I wasn't sure. I'm so worried due to my last MMC. I've been instructed to re-test tomorrow.

awww hopefully they will begin to increase more greatly here soon!

So I wasn't feeling good, like I said. I took a tylenol because it was unbearable.....8 hours into my shift....I pass out. The co worker who helped me used to be a nurse. Of course, she asks if I'm pregnant....let's see how fast this news spreads now!
At least I feel a little better. Man that was scary!

I'm a little late joining in but here's a little about myself
My name is Gina and I've been married to Calvin, the love of my life, for 7 yrs! We have a beautiful little girl named Sara Beth who is 6 and a half (don't forget the half!! It's VERY important to her! LOL). My lmp was May 11 & next period isn't due till June 8. But 2 days ago I got that feeling. My boobs were soooo sore and I was a little nauseous all day so I did a HPT that night and got a BFP! I *think* I'm 3w+6, according to my lmp. My edd is Feb 15. I haven't made my first appt with my OB yet but I will be calling tomorrow to set it up . I'm sooo nervous! We weren't even trying for #2 bc I had a lot of complications with my first pregnancy but SURPRISE! Lol. And we couldn't be more excited! I also had 2 MCs and an ectopic before we were blessed with our daughter. Hence the reason I'm a bundle of nerves and emotions now! But I'm keeping it positive and hoping for the best .

Oh no hope you feel better soon!!
Hopefully your co-worker keeps it to herself!

 

[bridgetboo62]

congratz and welcome Gdef!



@Wnt2beAMom

hopefully your co workers knows better than to go blabbing
and did you faint or pass out (like fall asleep)
you should drink a ton of liquids force that water and gatorade down you
especially gatorade if you are passing out
you need electrolytes girl!

 

[confuzion]

Your fear is understandable babyfeva. Hope your next set of numbers is more reassuring.

wnt2 - that is scary! Hope you're feeling better.

gdef - welcome, congrats, and I think a bunch of us are a ball of nerves right now so you're in good company .

Bridget: That hospital looks beautiful! I hope they work with you with your birth plan

Babyfeva: I bet the next number count will be reassuring for you

Wnt2: Keep us updated once you talk to the doctor! That's scary! Hope you feel better!!

Gdef: CONGRATS!! and Welcome!!

@ZombieKitten

thank you! i know it just opened in late 2012

i really hope they are lenient on this the birth plan as well
them seem super advanced and very understanding of alternative methods of coping with labour and very lenient on the support person's role in the birth so im really hoping they will at least let OH catch the baby it is very important that he is the first one to hold him/her and im really hoping they allow for the cord to be cut only after the placenta has remained on for at least an hour. and im really hoping i do not have to be hooked up to any monitors im fine with them coming in and using a doppler every once in a while to make sure baby is not in distress and i suppose im okay with midwife being present in the room when baby is born just to make sure its going okay. but i definitely do not want to be cut or my water broken or anything like that. (we are really only using hospital because its soooooo cheap with my moms employee insurance that im on and we can not afford a midwife and home birth or birthing center) i will try to talk to my midwife some about these things at our first appointment on the 19th and let you guys know. they are such concerns of mine and they are putting stress on me not knowing so it would be very beneficial to get some good news sooner rather than later and bad news too so we can figure out if we are going with an alternative hospital or what or so that i have more time to come to terms with the fact that it may not or will not go as i have dreamed

 

[bridgetboo62]

i may not even want to cut the cord at all i may want to allow it to fall off itself
like a lotus birth

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

I think it was like a faint. I was weak and couldn't even hold a pen. I was trying to help a customer. My ears started ringing and couldn't really see. Then I dropped to my knees and then the co worker was saying "put your legs up". I don't know how much time passed between hearing her. She was just starting her shift luckily. I hope she keeps her mouth shut. I'm home now going to go to bed. Might call in sick and see the Dr. Tomorrow.

 

[Happy happy]

Good morning!! How are we all this morning? ?
I'm waiting on a phone call from my midwife at some point today.. I'm requested blood samples to be taken to check hcg levels which will hopefully confirm my pregnancy is progressing as it should. ...12 weeks is a long time ..as we all know!!
Fingers crossed they can get me in soon so my mind can be put at ease!!
Have a great day everyone xoxo

 

[bridgetboo62]

yeah if you have sick days available and wouldn't interfere with your work i would see the doctor just in case
not to scare you but i have heard of preeclampsia being a case very rarely in early pregnancy gestational diabetes
but more than likely its from lack of sleep and dehydration, not enough electrolytes
im sure you will be fine
its never a bad idea to invest in a blood pressure cuff during pregnancy
i know i will getting one along with a doppler
so we can be our own advocates of our fetuses health

 

[slowloris]

wow i had to read through 8 pages since last night! this thread is busy!
im not even going to think about further ahead in the pregnancy yet, just taking each day as it comes. still very worried about a mc, or chem preg.
so i dont want to get my hopes up yet. my ic's are still very faint. just not going to test any more and see what happens.

hello all newcomers!

 

[bridgetboo62]

hi happy happy
its almost 12am here
so goodnight/goodmorning haha

im feeling okay
just reading up on some things like lotus birth and what not
you may have seen my other posts but im hoping for a natural birth and as intervention free as possible (even though i will be having my baby in the hospital because its very very cheap with my moms employee insurance which i am on and baby and i will continue to be on until i turn 26 in 8 years or so haha)
i really want a low intervention/unattended birth (little to no monitoring and no one in the room when baby is born and OH catching baby) but i hear that it is very uncommon for hospitals to allow that here in the US so that is a bit of a stress and worry on me. trying to come up with a birth plan as soon as possible so i can discuss it with my midwife as soon as possible (and switch midwifes if my certified nurse midwife that was randomly selected for my first prenatal appointment when i called the office nad set it up does not agree or believe in my point of view/isnt cooperative or willing to be an adovate my birthing plan) also to give us as much time as possible to work things out if there are issues between hospital policy and my birthing plan, and to give relief to me on the things they are cooperative and accepting of, and also give us some times to come to term with things if the birth just can not go as i have dreamed due to hospital regulations or pregnancy complications ect.

i need to write everything down soon
i know its still early and my appointment isnt for another two weeks
but i always plan ahead and give myself plenty of time to think about things come up with new ideas, do research and add/change things

 

[bridgetboo62]

i am still very worried about miscarriage or complications as well
but i figure we will cross that bridge if it appears on our journey
rather plan for the positive and not the negative
positive energy helps to bring positive results

 

[bridgetboo62]

i love how busy this thread is!

right now i dont have anything to occupy my time during the day when OH is at work other than housework haha
so i spend quite a bit of time on this site
and i really love how active it is
i hate refreshing and checking my subscribed threads under user CP and just waiting and waiting for replies

im sorry i have such long posts everyone
i have never been a good summarizer and just want to get all of the info out
so the reader/listener knows the whole story and there is no confusion or anything
and knows exactly where i stand/where im coming from

also i dont want any of you to get the impressive that i am self centered or think im annoying (although the annoying part is inevitable because everyone will have their own opinions and is certainly entitled to them whatever they are and for whatever reasoning)

i just dont know much about you ladies yet or your situation/past experiences
so i dont have as much to say about others at the moment and just want to get to know people and people to get to know me. i hope most of us keep chatting and updating here throughout our journey

also any one of you can feel free to send me friend requests and PM if you ever want
like i said im usually always on

 

[Happy happy]

Bridgetboo62- I used self hypnosis to get through labour with my DD. Google 'ship trial' or self hypnosis during interpartum pain. It totally worked for me and I only had a bit of gas and air..which was due to being interrupted by the midwife several times when I needed to focus and concentrate. I'll hopefully be doing the same again this time round as I kept the disc and paperwork so can train myself again xoxo
