July 2017 Rainbows (13 Rainbows-4 pink -1 blue- 2 yellow- 2 angels)

My beta came back at 79 this morning. Hoping all goes well tomorrow and it is doubling. I'm so ready to tell mine and my SO family already!

Great beta! I hope it's doubling beautifully so you can tell family already :)

Dragonfly- we are too alike! I take unisom before bed too, but my b6 during the day. I thought it would keep me up since b vitamins give energy? I think I'll have to switch and see how it goes. I'm nervous if I take my prenatal vitamins at night they will make me sick while I try to sleep. I usually feel sicker after I take them in the day. I guess all I can do is give it a try.

Baseball- I hope they double nicely tomorrow! With my 7th baby my first draw was 11!!!!! They told me I was likely miscarrying. She is playing in the other room right now so they were wrong to say the least haha.

We are, it's great! I don't find that the b6 keeps me awake, gosh I wish it gave me energy - I'm running on empty all day until about 3pm then crash again by 7! I actually don't take a prenatal, with DD they made me so sick no matter what so I never had any. This time around I'm focusing on what I'm eating, I'll take 100mg b6 with breakfast, baby aspirin and 800mg folic acid at bed time with the unisom and another 100mg b6.

We are in the same boat!

I had HCG done on Monday and this morning as well (Wednesday). I get my results back this afternoon. Soooooo hope it's doubled.... Or even better, gone thru the roof.

Let us know how you get on!

I bet your betas will be great too!

We got our Christmas tree today and it smells wonderful! While driving out to the tree farm I told DH my nails are super thick and growing fast. With DD they started chipping and breaking a ton during first tri. I'm really thinking we're team :blue: this time around! It's going to be forever until we know!!
 
Dragonfly- I'm on baby aspirin too! I have had clots by the placenta with all but a couple babies and it's the reason I lost the last one (also the reason I almost lost another) so my ob suggested it. I always try to take a prenatal at first until I get too sick. I've tried to take flinstones in some pregnancies. Right now I take a b-100 complex (it has 100 of each b vitamin and 400 folate), baby aspirin, fish oil, d3, and a natural iron since I got anemic with my miscarriage and usually do in pregnancy. Today I barely got the aspirin in me. I'll try the b vitamin and aspirin tomorrow.

When do you find out gender? I sent my 6 weeks pic to a website called gender experts and they said girl. Right now I have 5 boys and 3 girls so that would even things up nicely. I'll hopefully get the blood test after 10 weeks that tells the gender and the health of the baby so I won't have to wait too long. We may also pay for an ultrasound around 15 weeks but we will see :)
 
I'm kind of terrible at taking my aspirin right now, it's more of a every other day kind of thing :( We'll find out the gender closer to 20 weeks, I think it's more fun to find out on a scan than a blood draw, even if it does take longer :)
 
Yay! I was soooo scared to get my 48 hour HCG results but... they have over quadrupled in 48 h :D
 
Awesome londongirl!!! Congrats!

Dragon- I could see that. I just want to know asap. I'm already itching to buy some gender specific clothes. :)

Good luck to you too!!
 
Ok, I think I'm feeling better about joining now. Still anxious to get out of first tri but we just saw our little teddy bear yesterday measuring 8+2 with a little heart fluttering away at 162 bpm 😍. I'm past our MMC date and crossing my everything that this is our rainbow.

You can add me to the front. Current EDD based on baby's size is 7.9.17, but I guess that could change!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Here's that little questionnaire so you can all get to know me a bit better:

How far along are you? Size of baby?

This is complicated because I have really quick cycles. By pure LMP, I'm only 7+3, by ovulation date I'm 7+6, RE guessed 8+1, considering based on hcg and my first positive that I probably implanted around 7 DPO (or earlier). Baby is measuring 8+3 by ultrasound.

What are your symptoms this week?

"Morning" sickness has been hitting me hard since baby measured 6+3. I couldn't eat anything at all the first weekend. I started diclegis a little over a week ago, and since then I've thrown up just 3 out 15 nights. On the nights I throw up it goes on for a while to where I've probably blown chunks at least 10 times by morning. I still feel nauseated throughout the day and I gag on some foods, but for the most part I can eat and manage ok. I've also been pretty exhausted, needing to pee more has picked up quite a bit, and my boobs are still slightly sore though not nearly as bad as they were weeks 5-6.

Do you have any appointments this week?

Just had an appointment yesterday. Getting blood results today. I'm on hormonal support for progesterone and estrogen so I get an ultrasound and blood test weekly. I have subclinical hypothyroidism which we believe was the cause of our MMC. Next appointment is next Tuesday.

Will this be your first baby? If not, how many kids do you have?

This is my third pregnancy. Hoping with every fiber of my being that this will be our first baby. One that we get to meet and hold and kiss.

Do you have a non pregnancy related rant?

Not really. Everything painful for me this past year is related to ttc and loss. I guess I'm a bit frustrated that now that things are going well on that front we have another pending loss hanging over our heads. One of our cats is very, very sick and the vets aren't sure they can help her. She's only 8 and a half and it would kill us to have to put her down, but it looks like that is what we will have to do this week 😞.

What are you hoping for as far as your birth experience?

I have absolutely no clue. I just want a healthy baby at this point.
 
Hey ladies!! I was so excited last night I forgot to update you All! We heard and saw the heartbeat last night at our appointment!!! I forgot how much of an incredible sound that was! I am so happy and have a little more sense of relief that this might just our forever rainbow baby!!!

Leson and Mike, great pictures!!!

Only 6 more days until our local scan which hopefully we'll get pictures of...
 
Ladies I am sooo tired. I just have no energy anymore. Last night I slept 9 and a half hours and I feel like I've slept 2. I feel like a horrible mom to my two ds because I barely have the energy to get off of the couch. I just want to run and play and be a fun happy loving mom but I don't have it in me right now and it makes me feel sad.
 
I'm right with you sil, I feel like such a crappy mum but between the waves of nausea, always being cold and the constant tiredness I barely leave the sofa when we're home. Hopefully your energy levels will pick up as you approach second tri, not too much further now.
 
So my second set of betas came back yesterday at 192 which is more than doubled from the 79. We are thrilled! My first scan is scheduled for the 22nd. I was so hoping that we would have an early scan next week but I guess we have to wait.
 
Sil and girly I'm in the same boat. Extremely tired and it doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get. And the sickness definitely doesn't help either. There are even times I wake up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous. I think the sickness may be draining my energy even further.

Baseball- that's great news! Hooray! It's so hard to wait for a scan.
 
Sil and girly- don't feel bad, this will pass and you will be chasing after them in no time. I am tired too and my girls aren't making it any easier on me. But DH and I have been staying up a little too late watching movies after the girls are in bed.

Does anyone have a nipple that is more sensitive than the other when pregnant? Mostly my right nipple is super tender and it really isn't fun to have DD2 nurse on that side. She's still only nursing 1-3 times a day. My random craving have been in FULL swing. Some of the weirdest stuff! And the nausea RIGHT before bed has been killer. It's hard to fall asleep when I feel like I want to throw up.

Baseball- That is such great news that your betas are progressing nicely!!
 
Nika- it's weird you say your nausea is right before bed. I get hungry at 9pm every night and if I don't eat something I'll be sick all night long. I'm craving donuts!!!! Never has been a craving of mine in pregnancy. I have actual dreams about eating donuts haha

That's so funny you're craving donuts!! We just took the girls to donuts this morning as part of our advent activities and had donuts with DH at work.

I've had the nausea before bed a couple nights in a row and i can usually take a Tums and it'll settle down enough for me to fall asleep.
