Iluv- woohoo for making it to 6 weeks! :)

Courtney- you are not alone in the nausea fatigue department... In a few weeks I may be hit with it too! Normally it would already be bad but it's not so I think it will in a week or so. I'm ready to go through anything for my rainbow baby though!!

Amanda- oh sweetie you shouldn't feel bad for not being able to do the normal tasks. This is your time to take care of yourself and baby. I know you care for your other kids so you need time to rest! Don't feel guilty just remember mom needs to stay healthy for baby :) I hope you do get some rest this weekend at least!
 
Courtney - I'm on progesterone 200 mg vaginally, prednisone and baby aspirin. I'm 7w4d and I'm not sure when my doctor will be weaning me off any of my meds as we haven't talked about it yet. I think we're all being cautiously optimistic so we haven't really discussed the future yet.

All the fatigued girls... mine hits me in the afternoon. My fatigue was at its worst when I was 4-6 weeks... now as long as I close my eyes for about an hour right before I pick the kids up in the afternoon, I'm good to go until about 10. Now that I'm reading that everyone else's fatigue hit them at 8-9 weeks, I'm wondering if it'll be the same for me. Yikes! I agree with everyone else... Now's the time to focus on yourself and your little one. We have a sign in our house that says, "Excuse the mess. We're busy making memories." and now whenever I feel guilty about not cleaning the house, I say, "Excuse the mess. I'm busy growing a human being." :) :) :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!

My doc told me that I don't need it after 12 weeks as the placenta takes over the production of progesterone. However he said I can come off ltr if I feel more comfortable with that. I'm also on baby aspirin and was told that I can stop around 36 weeks.
I'm just so nervous!

Lol oh I love that!! That is a great saying, I think I would like to borrow it from time to time. But I am fortunate to have a hubby who really supports me and picks up the slack for me. :) this saying will be for any family that may visit... Lol inlaws
 
During my IVF cycle I was told to stop my progesterone at 10 weeks. No weaning, cold turkey. It went fine. Thankfully I was on Crinone gel though so didn't have to suffer the sore tooshy. But ooooh Amanda, I had to have the Rh shot after my D&C. Ouch!

My fatigue and MS seem to be easing (hope I haven't spoken too soon). I've totally let the housework go and our place is a complete mess! Another reason it's good the hubby's away at the moment. :haha: I about feeling up to sorting it out now. But I've now started feeling a lot of stretching pains going on down there now.

Iluv - congrats on the 6 week milestone!!
 
Exhaustion?? OMG tell me about it... I am absolutely shattered...

And because I am on all the drugs known to man (or so it seems to me lol) including prednisolone my immune system is severely depressed.. so I have a horrible cold at the mo.. miserable.

And to add to my misery I have developed a new symptom tonight... diarrhea... ooo lucky me..

My symptoms also come and go... freaks me out every time.

Congrats on 10 wks Court!!

Congrats on 6 wks iluv!

Wahey Tour! You and me with the Maccy D!! I am poet! Hahaha

Manu... pleased it is all easing off for you.

Cgav I am with Mizz... what lovely phrases.
 
GUESS WHAT I HEARD TODAY AT MY MIDWIFE APPOINTMENT!!!!!!




A thump thump thump of a rapid little heartbeat!!!!!!
 
Yay Amanda! That's wonderful!!! :happydance:

I definitely spoke too soon about starting to feel better. Last night I felt worse than ever and spent most of the evening willing myself not to throw up. Ugh! But I did tell baby just to crack on, I don't care what I feel like. :thumbup:
 
I am 9 weeks 4 days today :-) she had to use two different dopplers to find it but the 2 nd one picked it up loud and clear just beating away!!!!

My midwife suggested protein and vitamin b-6 for nausea (shall try that today)
 
Has anyone else had bleeing after sex? We had sex Sunday and all was good no pain, not uncomfotable....until yesterday I started to bleed. The blood was bright red. Of course, my heart sank and I immediately called the Doc. I went in and had an ultrasound. Got to see the baby and the heartbeat was 165---what a relief! The dr said it was most likely from sex. Now I am terrified to have sex because I do not want to bleed. It was very scary especially since I am a week away from when baby's hb stopped last pregnancy.
 
Robinson I had that so we stopped having sex too. When I went for a scan they said that everything in there is changing and sometimes it can cause bleeding but as long as the bleeding stops everything should be ok :hugs: I totally know how you feel as I felt everything was over for us too xxx
 
Robinson, same here too... When I exercise or have sex, I always bleed red blood a day after... They do not know where it is coming from because they never see blood when they check me down there... Dh understands why I am hesitant this time about having sex. So I won' t have it much until my bleeding stops... Going on 3 weeks now! So nervewrecking!!!
 
Amanda congrats on hearing your thump thump thump!!! Yaaaaay!!!!

How is everyone else doing??

AFM- MS is worsening along with fatigue and I also notice my usual pinches and pullings but so excited about all the changes! I woke up this morning and the areolas on my boobs looked like they widened a whole inch overnight LOL OMG sorry TMI LOL

I'm also attending college, is anyone else in school? Ppl think I'm crazy for enrolling while pregnant and caring for my LO. But I was already in school when I got preggos with DD2 and graduated. I am taking a new direction in my degree plan, so now I am back in school and so excited about new path. I think the schoolwork makes time go by fast which is good because it means lesser pregnancy weeks until I meet my munchkin! :) I need something to help the time go by and this helps, plus I am investing in my future as well!!
 
I ble after sex with ds2 and I cried that whole night I can't imagine bleeding now after having a loss! My old obstetrician told me it is because your cervix is filled with more blood and is more sensitive to anything touching it. I have only had sex a few times this pregnancy and I make hubby be extra gentle when we do. I can't imagine going to school right now mizz! My brain barely works enough throughout the day much less having to study haha :-) good luck and congrats sweetie on taking that step towards your dreams!
 
OMG Amanda! How amazing!!! I have never heard my baby's HB... I have seen it though... would dearly love to hear it too x

Manu... thank heavens I am not alone.. I am now seeming to swing between constipation and the other end of the scale... most confusing lol.

Mizz well done you for heading back to school! Good for you!... am my boobs are the same! They look totally weird to me! LOL

Robinson my Hubby has been on a sex ban since bfp lol... on Dr's orders... he is getting nowhere near my cervix!! Mwahhaa

Hmmmm pickles.... yummmmm....
 
We don't have sex in pregnancy. It's not worth risking anything. We abstained for DS's entire pregnancy and then the 9 weeks of the last baby. Fully intend to do it again.
 
I agree with you ladies, sex can wait if it means keeping safe for our babies.

On a side note I hate living so close to neighbors... These idiots are always acting rude being loud outside our daughters window late at night! We have complained and its so annoying because you would think they got the picture!!! I love how my hubby handles it for me. He tells them to shut the hell up lol no he doesn't unless he has to go out there a second time.... After that we call the cops. It's a military neighborhood so you would think people have integrity but nope. Rude mutha....... Sorry had to vent. If it affects my daughters sleep I am like a lioness protecting her cubs. Lol

I'm not sure how much more I can deal with this though. I want to make a formal complaint above the management because its like they kiss their ass since they know them. How can you defend people when you don't live next door to them hearing their drunk selves at night? And they have a young son so you would think they would understand where we are coming from as parents!!! Goodness! Lol oh boy just when I need a drink... Lol
Thinking about my baby growing is my substitution for relaxing since I can't have a drink!
Goodnight ladies!
