May 2013 Babies

[MizzPodd]

I lurk because at this moment I honestly have nothing to add to the conversations going on here. I am like WOW with what I am reading you ladies are going through a lot of uncertainties and transitions with your bodies. All mine is doing is burping, farting, catching cat naps where I can, and feeling like i have to throw up all the time. So figured I would just hush until I can relate to something here,hopefully that rambling made sense.

Those sound like you belong! I have heartburn gas and fatigue lol
Morning sickness hasn't hit yet, but it usually starts around 6 weeks do by next week I will be right there with you lol

I feel great overall though.... Boobs are just now starting to get sore! I exercised this morning and it gave me great energy!! But my toddler is zapping it all away again lol

 

[MizzPodd]

Mizz I would take it easy for a day or two! Just to ease your mind ad be on the safe side!

Thanks. I relaxed all Sunday. Did a light preggo workout today. It felt great though I'm still taking it easy as much as I can though. My Jayla (23 months) doesn't make it easy but her naps are my rest periods too now lol

 

[MizzPodd]

Pad- exactly!!! I also think this forum will help keep me from going crazy :-D

 

[padbrat]

Good luck ladies.

Think I am out. Had a big red bleed out of nowhere today.

Happy 7 weeks to me eh?!

 

[pink_bow]

I am so sorry padbrat, have you been to see your doctor? xx

 

[manuiti]

Oh Pad hun, I so hope you're not out. Still got my fingers crossed for you.

Sending you big huge squishy .

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Big pad hope you can go see your doctor ASAP x

 

[Tasha]

Praying so hard for you Pad

 

[EMTAmanda]

Pad I am praying for you and hubby sweetie I can't imagine all you have been through! Bad things should not happen to good people. I hope that there is still a chance for a pink sticky bean!!!!

Mizz-good for you! I want to start a prenatal workout but I'm not sure where to start... Chasing after my autistic 6 year old and 10 month old leaves me pooped at the end of the day!

I've felt hung over allllllll day :-/ I'm so looking forward to having friends over to watch the Clemson/FSU football game on Saturday to get my mind off of morning sickness and give me modivation to deep clean my house....it's quite in need of a good thorough cleaning all over!

 

[BklynChick74]

I am sorry Pad - I have my Fingers XD for you next month!!!!

 

[BklynChick74]

I am curious to know for anyone who was taking supplements when TTC - now that you got your BFP are you still taking them or have you stopped? Also what was you taking prior to your BFP?

Anyone have high thyroid antibodies? My levels just came back as high and I am freaking out :/

 

[MightyMom]

I am having my thyroid antibodies checked this week. It's not really a big deal though since I already know I have an underactive thyroid. I am already on Synthroid, so either the cause is Hashimotos or not but I'm still curious. Has your doctor checked your TSH to see if you need levothyroxine?

Yeah I am on 112 mcg of levothyroxine. My TSh was 5.9 but I just had it checked and it is down to 2.6. My antibody level was 269 and it should be below 35. So, its not a biggie as long as you're being treated for it?

 

[MightyMom]

Yeah, as long as your TSH levels are being checked every month (you want them below 1.3 during pregnancy) then you are fine. You'll need to take levothyroxine from now on. So Hashimotos is completely treatable and reversible. Not such a bad thing to have if you're going to have something.

 

[EMTAmanda]

I was taking vitex while ttc but stopped when I found out I was pregnant.

Courtney I don't even know if they've checked mine I've never heard them discus it...

 

[snowflakes120]

Hi ladies! I just found out yesterday that I am due in May! I had a blighted ovum last year November. I am feeling very positive and opimistic about this one though!

BklynChick74 - I was taking B-complex 100 but stopped yesterday when I got the BFP. I am going to continue with my Pre-Nates (duh!), DHA and Baby Aspirin though.

I too just got my BFP yesterday! It is my first pregnancy since I had a MMC in dec'11. I figure my EDD would be May 26 so it is very early but I am staying positive, relaxed, and am meditating ( seriously, I'll do anything to stay non- stressed and not get carried away by all the negative possibilities). I too am continuing prenatals and started baby asprin....can't hurt, right?

So excited for us..... H&H 9months!

That makes me feel so much better!!!!. My TSH went from 5.9 down to 2.6. The doc increased my dose to 112 mcg bc she said my TSH can be a little better (they like to see around 2.3). I was just reading that the antibodies can attack the developign fetus and thats what freaked me out.

 

[padbrat]

I went and had my scan and much to my shock the baby was absolutely fine! HB perfect and measuring 6w6d! Couldn't believe it... was crying so much as Hubby is away at the mo and I went alone that the sonographer was even hugging me!

One more step down many more to go....

The mantra continues... Hope is Important!

Am obsessed with silver skin picked onions at the mo... have eaten 3 jars in as many days... so this one is nicknamed Pickle!

I too have a crappy thyroid.. am now overactive with at last test (Aug) a t4 of 51, TSH 0.05 and t3 of 22.... urgghhhh only saving grace is that apparently being overactive is not so bad as being underactive for baby... just make sure you are tested regularly.
