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

[ttc126]

I'm sorry for everyone who is feeling so sick! It's really terrible and i 100% sympathize. I felt like utter crap starting 6 weeks on the dot. So miserable!!! Guess what? I thought it was normal to be so sick that i lost weight and threw up multiple times a day. With my son, no one cared how sick i was. This time, i got so ill (like normal) at my first appointment and they prescribed me two things to use on my worst days. They said it's not normal to be sick 24/7 to the point of losing weight every week. I'm very thankful as the meds have helped tremendously. I'm still nauseous, but only vomiting a few times a week now. U would encourage anyone who is extremely ill to try the home remedies first. If they aren't helping, please ask your dr what else you can do. It's made such a difference this time! Luckily my dr saw how sick i was because i wouldn't have even asked. Please ask if you need to! And i hope everyone's sickness passes soon!

I hope you can have the birth you want savvy!!! A good doctor seems to make a huge difference in birth outcomes.

My son was born vaginally and I'm glad they didn't immediately force me into a c section with having severe preeclampsia. This time, I'm going in with a history of placenta accreta but my dr said there is no need to have a section because of it. I am thankful for sections in emergency situations as i know they've saved many moms and baby's lives!

Feronia, how are you doing Hon? I've seen you comment on lots on the thread but I'm wondering how your spotting is and if you're doing alright.

My news was not good today. While my beta continues to rise normally (up to 3600 today) my uterus remains empty. It is very likely that I have an ectopic pregnancy and will be taking the methotrexate tomorrow to terminate things. Although they cannot find anything on the ultrasounds suggestive of an ectopic, the radiologist says it is rare to actually see an ectopic early enough and the methotrexate becomes significantly less effective once hcg levels are above 5000 (which I'll be there in a few days).

My husband and I are completely and utterly devastated about this. We've been ttc for nearly 3 years and failed IVF a few months back. We thought this was our miracle. It turned out to be our nightmare. So it is with a heavy heart I say goodbye to all of you. I know I did not comment much but I so enjoyed reading and following along your journeys. I wish you nothing but happiness and healthy babies come 2/2015.

im so sorry for your loss Hatethewait85 i can only image how difficult this must be for the two of you
wishing you a fast and easy recovery and hoping you will fall pregnant again soon
sending positive vibrations and energy your way

 

[Megamegan]

Hatethewait, I am so so sorry to hear this. Does taking the methotrexate ensure that your tube will be saved? It's ok if you don't respond, I understand. I bet you will get pregnant naturally again when you are ready. Lots of and I wish you all the best.

 

[MellyH]

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry. I wish there was something any of us could do.

 

[cckarting]

So sorry hatethewait as for why the us does sections is because everyone is so sue happy any little thing that goes wrong they get sued. So take the easier route and pretty much eliminate the chance of a lawsuit

 

[ttc126]

Hate the wait, I'm so so sorry

 

[Megamegan]

I have decided this is where I'll give birth if my doctor will refer me. I wanted to share the link to the hospital in case anyone is interested. It is pretty amazing. Every birthing room is private, has a whirlpool tub, doulas are welcome, fathers allowed to stay overnight, you're allowed to move around as you labor, and they listen to your birth plan. I have heard fantastic reviews from close friends of mine. And this hospital happens to be 3 minutes from my house right now. So I feel pretty fortunate to have the chance to deliver here. I think it's truly the best of both worlds as far as home and hospital, for me at least. We will take a tour later in the pregnancy. Take a look:

Hatethewait, I am so, so sorry. That is such devastating news. I hope and pray that all goes as smoothly as it can, despite the circumstances, and that you're back on the boards as soon as you are ready, and able.

[jmandrews]

Sorry I haven't posted lately. I'm on a family vaca for the week. I am so sorry for those who have loss breaks my heart.

Welcome and congrats to the new ladies!

Emy congrats on wonderful news! Love your scan pic.

I am feeling pretty quizzy tonight. I'm getting nervous. Up until tonight I haven't felt one but pregnant this week. Maybe I've been too busy to notice. Hopefully MS holds off until I'm home this weekend. I wasn't sick with DD. Not sure what to expect.

Hope everyone is doing well sorry for those who are feeling like crap.

 

[crysshae]

I'm so sorry hatethewait. Sending prayers of comfort for you.

So sorry for your news. If I were you, I would wait until they were absolutely sure that it was an ectopic! I've read too many stories about misdiagnosed ectopics and how bad methotrexate is for healthy pregnancies... I don't want to give you false hope, certainly, but these things are misdiagnosed all the time.

i agree 100% with this

 

[bridgetboo62]

Megamegan that hospital sounds sooooo wonderful i am jealous!
i am planning on having mine at hospital with private rooms and OH can spend the night in the room and there are hide-a-beds specifically for that
and there is a labor tub in the maternity ward but i dont think there is one in each room and i dont believe they allow you to give birth in the tub just labor in it unfortunately

 

[maisie78]

So sorry to read your update hatethewait xx

Welcome to the new ladies x

I have my second scan at 1320 today (it's 0630 here at the moment). Getting nervous now. I still feel pregnant so hoping my body isn't playing tricks on me. I have been resting as much as you can with an almost 2 year old and it seems to have paid off with hardly any spotting the last 2 days. Keep your fingers crossed for us

 

[RaspberryK]

Sorry for the bad news hatethewait xx

 

[EMYJC]

Hate the wait sorry for the bad news. I was 1761 the day before a scan. For all I know the hcg could've doubled the next day and been over 3000 and all had was a 4mm sac if that and a minute pin prick dot. She had to triple check to see if it could possibly be anything. Are they sure it's ectopic? Are you getting any symptoms of ectopic? Shoulder tip pain etc??

I just want to wish it all away for you and for some miracle to happen. I pray you get a healthy pregnancy in the near future xxx

 

[lynnikins]

i had a scan at 5wks 4 days with ds3 and they nearly missed him entirely they were ready to send me out convinced I wasn't pregnant and there was nothing there just for at the last second i saw a flicker and made her go back to that spot and there he was tucked away to the side hiding
