Aw why not?! I was prepared to take a picture with my phone if necessary lol, but she said they give me some, so, no need. I cried like a baby with my feet up in stirrups lol but it was the most amazing feeling. OH surprised me a little. After the US he had this strange look on his face and said.....this just got very real and Im very happy AHHHH me too! trying to tame the happiness as we're not out of the woods just yet, but definitely excited

Hows everyone doing today?

 

[missjenn]

I'm wondering if it's because it was emergency and not with my doctor? Guess I won't get one until the 12 week US. Your baby looks like mine, ha!

It is definitely a surreal moment seeing it's actually there!

 

[AnnaSaRa]

So happy for you rockinmomtobe! Great news

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Oh yea, I bet thats why. Im sad you cant have a picture until later

I go every 4 weeks now, so Ill have my next appt at 10w. It seems so far away lol. Im not sure if theyll do an ultrasound everytime...I probably shouldve asked and I didnt because I couldnt think. Im going to start making a list of things to ask the doctor next time lol

Yayyyyyyy I am so happy for you!!! Such good news! I can't wait for my 8 week scan in 2 weeks! I am terrified that I am going to be told baby is not alive! However, if sickness and exhaustion are good signs I am pretty sure that isn't going to happen!

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Try not to worry littlelolo. It was so hard for me too, it still is sometimes, but all of that melts away when you see the heartbeat flicker!

So, ladies....Im super emotional today. I know its my hormones and I need to keep calm, Im just having a VERY hard time today. EVERYTHING is making me cry. Ive just been crying all day. Im a fairly emotional person to begin with, but this is insane! Im crying because I dont feel well and I want to sleep, crying because the phone at work wont stop ringing, crying because I wish my parents lived closer....just everything! I just want to know Im not a complete looney....and if I am, then just tell me.

Hi everyone!
Rockinmom how exciting on the pic!!! I cant wait to see my first u/s. So lucky =)
MissJen, it all depends on how much you worked out before pregnancy. Basically you can work out the same way minus pulling/lifting. I know women that ran marathons and what not while pregnant. My MotherinLaw ran 5 flights of stairs 4x a day everyday. If it makes you more comfortable, just take it down a few notches on the tredmill from what you normally run. Exercise is so important during pregnancy and the benefits are amazing. I would write down your typical program and run it by your Dr. They can give you the best advice. There are also a lot of prenatal workouts if you want something more pregnancy-oriented. The book I mentioned is amazing because it gives you specific work-outs for each phase of pregnancy.

Thanks! I'm just walking outdoors and skating right now. I used to run on the treadmill 5 days a week for 30 minutes at 5.0-5.5 mph. I'm too scared to do that now. Do you think walking at 4.4 is okay?

I haven't been really emotional at all. I did however get a little weepy this morning when I listened to the song I chose for walking down the aisle but that's it. I'm pretty sure the emotional thing is normal for many people though. When my friend was pregnant she cried because she couldn't get the peanut butter open

Did that fear ever go away during your first pregnancy?

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Good question Jenn. I'd like to know too!

Aw thanks Jenn Im feeling a little better now, work was just a little overwhelming today I think. Id much prefer to be at home sleeping
Also, I talked to my doctor yesterday about working out and she said that normally whatever I was doing before is ok now. She said she personally likes to see the mothers heartrate below 140, which when I cardio, mine is not. So, Ill probably tone it down a bit and grab that book TLK had mentioned.

 

[missjenn]

Yeah, my heart rate is always at around 190-195 when I work out. That's why I switched it too outdoors because I know my heart rate isnt going up like that.

Okay ladies i need reassurance I was trying to get a heavy box off of a shelf today...im only 5'3 so it's kind of a reach..
Anyway i lost my balance and fell. About a half hour later i was at my desk, stood up and felt a gush of wet. I went to the bathroom and it was blood. My undies were soaked- but no clots. That was around 1130 and I went to the er at 300. They drew my blood and did a vaginal u/s. He saw the gestational sack and a fetal pole. Said im only 5+4days so couldn't get a heartbeat but they said everything looks right for that far along. My HCG is 3615. I just find it strange because i got a bfp 4 days before AF- 11/12 dpo and got symptoms 4dpo. Now im so unsure of everything!

I didn't have this fear as much with my first pregnancy; however, after my 12 week ultrasound I did not fear losing it at all. I had a miscarriage in January and since that I have become more fearful of m/c. I would say though that after the 12 week mark I will feel better as the risk of m/c goes down dramatically

Oh TLK!!!! That is aweful! I pray that everything is ok with baby What did the doctor say the blood was from? Did he say why you could be off a week with your dates but have such an early BFP. I know sometimes it is difficult to date the pregnancy before 8 weeks so perhaps you could go back in for another u/s in a couple of weeks to make sure it is still ok. I am thinking of you and please let us know how you are doing

 

[tlk71411]

I still haven't had anymore bleeding. They dont know why they said it's not known why women sometimes bleed in the first 15 weeks? Weird. Im just trying not to think about it . I definitely don't think the u/s tech was right because that means i woulda got my bfp at 2+5. There's no way. Well my next appointment is March 21.....so I'll bring it up to my Dr.... hopefully a good one.

 

[Storked]

tlk, so relieved that the bleeding has since stopped! I know that I have had friends whose baby measured off and then caught up to what they expected. Maybe that is what it was- baby is about to hit a growth spurt

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

TLK- Im so sorry you have to worry about this! I think its a good sign that theres no more blood. Maybe you just jostled stuff around a bit in there. Not too much longer until your appt
