So the nurse at the OB just called and said my thyroid levels are high, but the doctor hasn’t reviewed them so I won’t know anything until Monday when I go for my appt. I’m worried now.
 
eppgirl I know how you feel but try not to worry!! I have this issue and it is very easy to control with medication and proper monitoring. My levels were 'slightly' high before pregnancy but not enough to medicate me seeing as I had no symptoms, so my doctor just monitored it yearly and if there were changes I told her. But with my mc this summer they noticed HIGHER levels (still technically not in a dangerous territory for a nonpregnant person) so my doctor said with my next positive I was to come in straight away to be tested as they are much more on top of it in pregnancy, and normal is much lower. So I did and sure enough my levels were even HIGHER so my doctor put me on meds and I go back next week for another test and they adjust meds if needed.
 
Thank you that makes me feel much better. I do wonder if I’d had the issue before, (our doctors around here aren’t great) and maybe they didn’t notice it, I currently go to an OB that is better funded and have better equipment so they noticed it.
 
an update to say that everything appears normal! I'm was and am so relieve that I may or may not have cried when the doctor gave me blood test results. Numbers are good, but I'll be going back in 48 hours to make sure they're doubling as they should. It was such a reassurance for her to tell me "you're definitely still pregnant", and to say that my belly felt like it should. Part of me still can't believe it's actually happening.

*Heads up to spotting ladies* it can be normal. According to doctor the cervix is so full of blood at the mo that pressure (lifting, straining to bm etc) can cause light bleeding.

babybrain: I've had days where I'm the same. I don't have an ultrasound until 10 weeks, and I have shed tears more than once wishing it were sooner just so I would know that everything is ok. And when I saw blood yesterday it felt like my heart dropped right out of my chest. It feels like this is all too good to be true, and that something is going to happen to take it away. It's a very unnerving time, and it's not something women seem to talk about that often. But I'm with you on the nerves and worry train. <3

ali: I'm so glad everything went well and the tech was sweet. I'm eagerly awaiting out scan at 10 weeks to know for sure everything is ok. I'm not sure the worry ever truly subsides.
 
Wonderful news sharii! They think i ruptured a blood vessel too and probably either caused by constipation or all the packing ive been doing because we move to a new house on Wednesday! Im so glad everything is good and hopefully continues to do so!
 
thank you Heather. It's still so early, and it feels so vulnerable. But I'm so happy to hear that things are still happening in there. I'm going to take it easy and hope that the bleeding stops and (hopefully) doesn't come back. It's terrifying to wipe and see pink..
 
Eppgirl I’m sure it’s minor and all is fine, thyroid conditions are quite common and easily managed in most cases. Especially if you are only a borderline line. It just means more blood tests! I’ve had so many of those this year I’ve lost count lol.

Sherii great news! Glad all seems to be going well and that is reassuring about spotting. Mine has stopped again, and it was always brown, but it is certainly concerning!
 
Maybe tmi but is anyone else incredibly gassy? To the point it’s actually uncomfortable? I feel full of air!!!
 
The gas and constipation has kind of subsided for me, but other things have kicked in. My sense of smell is supersonic, and pretty much any strong smell will send my belly flipping. I don't think I've enjoyed a smell in over a week. I also seem to have entered the exhausted stage. I have been sleeping 10+ hours a day. I'm trying to nap as much as possible now, because I know I won't be sleeping much in a few months time. I also have an insatiable desire for tea and Caesar salad...
 
I’m not quite as exhausted as I was earlier on but I definitely need an hour more sleep a day and work tires me out, physically i feel done at the end of a day in a way I never felt before!
 
Just got back from my appointment and everything looks great!! Still on track for July 16th due date and baby’s heartbeat was 148 <3 Huge sense of relief seeing its flickering heart!! Baby looks like a little gummy bear with arm and leg buds (its upside down in the photos) so cute!!

I'm the same with work. I work in the evenings, so I find myself super sluggish in the mornings, and wanting to lay down before my shift. And by the time I'm half way through work I'm ready for another nap. It's ok with me though, because it tells me things are still happening in there.

Even though everything (aside from the spotting) has been textbook with me, I can't put that worry aside that my symptoms will disappear. I'm almost happy when I feel bad and tired.
 
Four2five so exciting!! Little wee one &#10084;&#65039;
 
four2five ooo!!!!! congrats on seeing your little gummy bear!!
 
Congrats four!!

No bleeding at all today. Which is good. But i still feel like i received bad news and im anxious.
 
Four2five that is great!

I am gassy, but as in, lots of breaking wind, not trapped air :haha: Trapped gas is super painful & uncomfortable.

Im just starving and tired and sick. All. Day. Long.
 
I definitely have gas, mostly out the top end. I have been taking a gas-x (simethicone) capsule with my daily prenatal vitamin. It helps a little, but I still constantly burp.

I have the supersonic smell, too. Most smells are killing me.

Oh last but not least the hunger, which is fun when paired with the nausea. Today it was more constant hunger, though. Tonight at work, I started craving nacho cheese Doritos, so I bought a bag and then devoured almost half of it. I am going to gain so much weight!
 
I have been craving nachos! I went grocery shopping yesterday and resisted temptation of buying the ingredients, but then polished off an entire block of chocolate when DH went to work...sooo..may as well have had the nachos :haha:
 
We put our tree up today. I love December!
