Mowat, I am so sorry that walking specially up hills is so difficult now! I can only imagine. Hopefully 15 weeks will fly by for you!

Sorry I haven't been saying much past few days. Been...special kind of week. Stress from FIL but thanks to my SIL (one of them) I think FIL will back off at least for awhile about my not working and being a stay at home mom until our kids are in school. That's one thing that's interesting, DH's siblings all have each others backs because they all know what their father is like. He's an extreme heavy drinker and is drunk about 90% of the time. Just not a pleasant person to be around.

And then to start off this morning I threw up my b-fast for the first time. At least I made it to the sink in time! I'm not even sure why I threw up wasn't even nauseated. Well 14 weeks tomorrow still hoping to get my energy back soon.

 

[butterflywolf]

Sis, not sure if you still read here but wow. This is one confusing pregnancy. I do hope they can do another scan soon just to see if anything is going on and if so what. If your hcg is still rising something HAS to be doing something.

 

[Sis4Us]

I agree my FS still wants to terminate but I refuse until they can Verify its Ectopic Via ultrasound I will keep hope alive!!

I have no pain at all no spotting no nothing just pregancy symptoms so we will see!!

Thanks for checking in on me !!

There's a lady I know from another thread who refused a d&c in spite of getting a lot of pressure to do it. She's now 20+ weeks with a healthy baby girl. Not to give false hope, but it's possible for them to be wrong. If you're still holding out hope, I'm right there with you!

 

[Sis4Us]

Thank U Erin!!!

I really needed to hear that I feel like my Mimi sent me this Miracle since I got my BFP on her Bday!! I know she is looking out me and this Lil one is a fighter like its Mommy so it's not over until it over!!!

 

[mowat]

I refused to have a D&C with my third miscarriage. It ended up dragging on for several months, but I wasn't experiencing any symptoms to indicate a problem so there is really no risk in waiting. Still hoping for the best for you Sis! THere's nothing wrong with waiting so don't let anyone pressure you.

Ugh, major ankle swelling today! And super sore calves now too. Why has this started so suddenly?

 

[eyemom]

Yeah this kind of stuff, you have to do what you can look back on with no regrets. I don't think you can regret giving a little tiny a chance.

I think I remember that Alyson...maybe? Was it you it finally happened while you were on vacation?

Sorry you're not feeling super but I have no answers for you. Hope it gets better though.

 

[Sis4Us]

I had that Bad w my last loss .... There's a artery that feeds the uterus in your calf my acupuncturist always rubs it and out a point there!!
R u drinking lots of water??

Hope it let's up soon!!!

 

[mowat]

Good memory Erin! Yes, we were on vacation in the middle of nowhere (a small island off another island that had very limited services). It was pretty horrible, but I was still happy I waited. There is really no danger in waiting as long as you're not having any symptoms. Still holding out hope for you Sis---will you be getting another ultrasound?

Drank water like crazy today in the hope that it would help with my ankles. No such luck. I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow, so I'm hoping that might help.

Got a call from the obstetrician's office today with an appointment at the end of January. Somehow that makes it more real!

What's new Barb? You've been quiet lately.

 

[butterflywolf]

Sis, did your doctor do a scan today or no? Another blood draw? If I remember correctly you were going to see your doctor today, right?

Barb, 37 WEEKS!!! Full TERM!

Mowat, Hopefully the massage will help. I have heard too to drink more water to help with any swelling during pregnancy.

Not much here today. Though I'm beginning to think I'm starting to feel baby on and off. Noticing patterns only the past two days. Of course I wont really believe it's baby until I feel full blown kicks XD I'm content right now. Which is probably a good thing. Of course I want to find out gender and if we will be having our little boy or not, but I'm trying to keep in mind 'it is out of our control'. 4 weeks 6 days 20 hours roughly until we find out. But who is counting. lol I've been more focused honestly though with Christmas being here. Exciting times.

 

[Sis4Us]

No I never gotta a call back I think they have given up on me idk if they even called in my P like I asked Monday!!

 

[butterflywolf]

That's horrible!! It's their job to make sure things are fine with you. Are you able to try and talk to another OBGYN?

 

[mowat]

Really! That's ridiculous.

 

[Sis4Us]

I've been dealing w my FS !!! I went to the OBGYN Tue and she was no help at all

Like I said I'm lost in the dark here!! I had some tan tinged lots of CM last night after getting a Christmas tree for my BFF!! Not sure if it's a good or bad sign

 

[butterflywolf]

The only time I had the tan discharge was near week 6 of this pregnancy and also when I was pregnant with Claire.

I wish I could tell you one way or the other but it's always different person by person.

 

[barbikins]

I"m really sorry this is your health care system at its best. What a shitty way for them to deal with you. It's not fair at all.

 

[Sis4Us]

I going to try and see if I can get an Apt w a High Risk OBGYN Dr Tom ... We will see I just want to know what's going on so I can move forward at least!!

Congrats on a Full Term Babe Barbs!!

 

[barbikins]

So, you havent had any more signs of spotting, no pain? You have pregnancy symptoms still? It's so bizaare. I'd be so angered if this is how I was being treated. You really should be able to get some answers. Good luck!

And yes thanks!
I thought we were going to have this baby over the weekend. I had mega AF like cramps all day long on Saturday! And very painful Braxton Hicks and often. But it petered out by that night & is gone now. I do have a few BH that is painful though at times - esp. if I have a full bladder, after I pee!
I noticed a LOT of globby yellowish CM this morning - and it keeps trickling out. Maybe it's just Mucus, maybe some of my plug? Anyway....just have to keep waiting to see what happens.

How everyone else doing???

I hope the high risk doctor will be able to figure out what's going on.


Barb: Seems like it's getting closer then. I know I was losing my mucus plug for two weeks before I went into labor. Lost a lot of it a few days before labor. Eek so exciting!


I'm doing well. Still a bit tired here and there but not bad. Have my next apt. next Monday but that one isn't much. Go over my lab results, he'll be happy to see that my hemoglobin is 13.9 (good is 12-15) because he wants me to be high again just in case I do hemorrhage after labor again. Check heartbeat and that'll be that. As of right now 4 weeks 3 days 22 hours until our gender scan lol.

 

[butterflywolf]

Barb, just read your 37 week update. And the worry wont end. For me I never thought much about my health but always the baby's. With Claire I was thinking her heart will stop and I never felt a shit ton of movement with her. I mean I felt plenty but I also didn't feel a lot either. Worried me to no end. It does sound amusing though that your little boy does seem to know when to perform though XD That must have been quite amusing.

And semen is believed (whether it be myth or not) to start labor because the semen can help get the cervix going. At least from what I remember reading all the 'HELP need to get baby out of me now!" threads lol.

I still think your baby boy is going to stay until close to 39 weeks, I really do. But I could be wrong
