I am pregnant with our third. We lost our son at 29 weeks gestation so I know I'll be a nervous wreck until we reach the finish line. I am due May 10th. I go to the dr tomorrow for an early prenatal appt.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I can't imagine how difficult that must have been. You must be so worried about this little one. Will your doctor be offering you an increased care package? x x

yeah she said we will meet with a specialist around 18-20 weeks. At my early prenatal I was given my vitamins, diclectin and iron pills cause the doc said my iron levels were kinda low. We have our first regular prenatal appt on Oct 28th. I am excited!

Hope your scan goes well kate x
My Dr sending me for a scan tomorrow as they can't date the pregnancy as my last cycle was a mc x

Well, my appt wasn't helpful at all. All they had was a handheld tiny external ultrasound and the doctor thinks he might have seen a gestational sac but wasn't even sure of that. So I have a real ultrasound scheduled for Thursday. Very annoyed that they didn't just do that in the first place since I'm still early and they only have the external handhelds up in the clinic. The doctor said he would expect to see things better and be able to see a heartbeat on the handheld by now, but that it may have implanted low which might make it harder for him to see and could cause the bleeding (?). He doubts that it's ectopic, but really doesn't have a guess on viability without today's HCG and Thursday's ultrasound.

Still no real answers, but at least it's less likely to be ectopic...

Thanks for letting me vent.

So stupid ... Vent as much as you like hun it's ok !! I would be so irritated. Hoping you see more on Thursday. Xxxxxx

 

[Kelly9]

Will you get your beta results today then?

 

[kategirl]

Will you get your beta results today then?

Hopefully; I was able to get the results just before 5 pm the days last week, and today's draw was about an hour later than the ones last week, but the clinic is open late on Tuesdays. So as long as the outside lab gets it back to them by 5 pm, I should.

 

[Kelly9]

Ok I hope it's reassuring for you!

 

[Kazy]

That's frustrating Kate. Vent away! At least they set you up this week and didn't push it longer.

I'm having serious ligament pain. Anyone else?

 

[Chrissi1981]

Ligament pain ? Where ? Lol

 

[Kelly9]

Nope just heartburn and gas that hurts for me right now.

 

[kategirl]

I think what I'm having the last two days has been ligament pain. Seems a bit early compared to last time, but I've been walking a lot more than usual.

Got my beta. 36,563, up from 21,000 on Friday. It didn't double in 96 hours, but it is a good rise (definitely not going down).

 

[Bushmumma]

Kate hope you get some great results and your scan shows bubs heart beating.
Good luck darlin xo

Kazy: yes please pop me up there!!
I suffer from sacroilliac joint pain. Each pregnancy is worse than the last . I get to wear a belt that pulls me back together and give support.

How are you today Chris darlin?

 

[Bushmumma]

Still a good rise Kate that's promising.

Afm: I am in two minds, should I go see the doctor this week or leave it till 8 weeks?
They would confirm my positive test and draw bloods to double confirm and prescribe me folic acid (which I have already got).
Thing is I'm in Queensland now and last pregnancy I was in NSW :/. It's been 8 yrs since being pregnant with my DD and I don't remember if I should go in or if it was a waste of time.... My other concern is that seen last pregnancy was a mmc I wonder if they will do things differently? Any advice?

 

[Chrissi1981]

Hehe I'm fine hun. No real sickness yet just when I smell bad stuff. Cramping on and and off, still tender boobs, extreme tiredness, achey legs, very warm at night and craving cheese and onion crisps lol oh and junk food. I'm so healthy but I haven't had a smoothie or green juice yet ;( no appetite for it booooo. What are you symptoms ?? Xxx

 

[Bushmumma]

Oh mine are sore boobs, heart burn, nausea, hot flushes, mood swings also I am wanting the original V8 juice.... Yummmmm! Chocolate, avocado and tea with no sugar... I love my coffee but think bub does not lol.
Oh and a fight between insomnia and fatigue haha its interesting ...

 

[Kelly9]

Kate that's a good rise! Can't wait for your scan tomorrow!

I'm all settled at the airport for one of many flights today. Feeling barfy again. Tummy is upset in general the last few days. I suspect it won't get better till well into second tri for me.

Gosh I just want this day of traveling over.

 

[kategirl]

Kelly, I hope the rest of the traveling goes well!

I haven't had too many symptoms. I sometimes feel nauseous, but more often I just don't feel like eating (nothing sounds good to me and I'm kind of shoving down food because I know I'm hungry). I remember being hungry all the time and eating a ton with my daughter, but I might just be remembering further in the pregnancy. I've actually lost about two pounds so far! I also get tired really easily by physical activity and start feeling kind of sick.

And chocolate (and most other sweets) seem disgusting to me right now - that's definitely not my normal, lol!

 

[Kazy]

I can't eat chocolate either! It's sounds horrible. I am a coffee drinker but that that hasn't settled well either. Pretty much all food sounds horrible so I just pick something and eat it. My MS usually goes away around 10 weeks. So only a few weeks left hopefully.
One week and counting until my first scan. But seems like forever!

 

[lolly25]

I went for my scan today showed a gestational sack and yolk measured between 5-6 weeks the sonographer said, by ov I'm 5w3d today so seems right
