I am a big woman, so my bump wont show until much later :( I have gained 8 pounds too so far, not good but I was on a weight loss mission before I found put I was pregnant. I was eating a vegetarian organic diet and then started getting so, so dizzy and was told I had an iron and protein deficiency, so I had tp add back in milk...Then once it was known I was expecting, the doctor advised me that because of my weight and medical history that I should re-add chicken and beef. So I did. Also, apparently baby doesn't like healthy food, and really likes chicken sandwiches and steaks. I am looking forward to the sickness going away so I can get back to delicious salads because that was a staple for me for months. I'd like to be able to drink fresh juices too, I miss those. Hope you ladies are fairing better than me in foods!!
 
Aaahhhh! My appt was so great!!! We were the last appt if the day and the dr was like let's just give you an ultrasound it'll make you feel better!!!! And it did and we heard the heartbeat which was so exciting :) so here's my little nugget AND OH and I decided to pay for a more accurate screening test which will look at chromosomes so we'll know the sex with 98% accuracy in 3-4 weeks! I can't believe it :).

I am so darn happy for you!!!!!!!!! You must feel a huge sense of Leif too!!

I'm so glad everyone is doing well!!

Cute bump!!!

I so can't wait to get one!!!!!!
 
Thanks ladies!!! Im still so excited, I cant believe we finally got to hear the hearbeat! It was so incredible :) AND finding out the gender so soon! I thought wed have to wait another 6-8 weeks!
 
We find out the gender on June 12th so we still have some waiting.
 
Thats about when we wouldve found out before this test. We didnt even realize the test would tell us the gender, it was just kind of a happy surprise yesterday!! So how far along are you technically now Jenn, I cant keep track since our dates arent the same lol. Are you a week ahead?
 
Great news on your ultrasound. Lucky, lucky finding out the gender early!! Beats having to wait though. That ultrasound photo is wonderful, looking good.

My appointment is today at 3:30 pm Pst, It was supposed to be last Thursday, but the doctor had to reschedule and I had to wait an entire week, lol. I am so nervous because I am scared there will be bad news because of that super bleed. I just have to keep reminding myself that all these horrible symptoms are a good sign. I just hope that this is my sticky baby...
 
Oh, and I find out how far along I really am if all is good in there. Fingers crossed for my birthday, so I can have a thanksgiving baby :haha:

Wishing you good luck with your scan tonight!! I'm sure everything is just fine in there :)!
 
Good luck Whittnie! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you! Keep us posted.
 
Had my scan yesterday. It was weird, I have been worrying about it for the last three weeks and right when I walked into the office, I just knew everything was fine.

The doctor immediately was able to pick up the sac, which was a lot different that prior since we always had to do a trans-vaginal before. And there my little bean was, just hanging out at the bottom and after about 20 seconds, it made a waving motion to the ultrasound :haha:. It was funny. So active and moving all about already. The heartbeat was strong and looked really good too :yipee:.

The doctor dated me on the day I was pretty sure of, my birthday, March 4 for conception. My due date is November 25, 2013 :cloud9:. Thanksgiving day. He was really shocked that I knew my conception date and due date already because this was not a planned pregnancy and I wasn't tracking anything and I knew that there were 6 possible times that I could have gotten pregnant within those two weeks. I just knew and held out a little hope, lol. I still am in shock that everything has gone so well after things had gone so wrong already . The doctor also put me back into a "normal pregnancy" category and thinks I will be just fine on the progesterone until week 13, but will watch me for any miscarriage signs.

He said that he had been thinking about me and worried because of the situation and my chances for miscarriage, but said that the baby is forming perfectly, my uterus has great lining and is perfect, my ovaries look clear (besides for the one remaining luteal cyst), and that the entire ultrasound was literally perfect in pretty much every way. Talk about a relief. Even the doctor had a huge smile.

I am allowed to get off bed rest now, just with very light activity. No sex still, tmi, but ohhhh well, but that can resume week 13. He wants me out of the first trimester. He also said that my adversion to healthy foods is actually quite common and that it should change as the pregnancy advances and that I can find some healthier unhealthy stuff.

Sorry for such a long post, but I am so excited. Things are finally turning around. Thanks for the good lucks. If I can find a camera that will upload my ultrasound picture I will post it on here. Even my mom said that it was a really good picture, lol.
 
Thanks for sharing! So glad you had such a wonderful appointment!

Onward and upward!!!!!!!!!
 
Whittnie- that totally made my day! I am so happy and relieved that everything looks so good! We are due so close together... I'm due 11/23 and I am looking forward to reading as everyone progresses! Yay yay yay!!
 
I'm 9 weeks 5 days today and as of yesterday, my low abdomen is kind of achy. It almost feels as though I've done crunches. Do you think this is just growing aches or something I should be concerned about?!? It's not painful... Just dull achy.
