November 2013 Babies!

That must have been scary! When i saw a pink tinge (not blood) I went to the ER and they did the blood test and US. I was 5 weeks and 3 days and the heart beat was 114 and HCG count was 22,000. But, I had one of those trans-vaginal ones done and I think those can pick up the heart beat before a regular ultra sound.

If you hadnt had anything since I would think you're fine...like the previous post...maybe your fall just shifted your uterus or something...have you had any cramping at all? If not then im sure its fine. My dr said to be concerned if there was another show with cramping.

Thanks Everyone. I"m just trying not to think about it now. I just want it to be Thursday so I can go to my appointment. I havent had any bleeding since then and no cramping either (I actually didnt have cramping when I was bleeding either).

MissJenn they did a vaginal one. They tried the regular U/S and couldnt see anything so they did the vaginal one and he said I looked 5 weeks + 4 days but they didnt get a heartbeat-he said it was too early. This is a Naval Hospital so they dont have the best of equipment. Hopefully my dr can tell me good news on Thursday =(

Ah, gotcha. Is your appointment at a regular hospital? I think that as long as he could see the the baby you're okay. Sending positive vibes your way!

Hi all- Just a quick question- I haven't been experiencing any of my usual symptoms today, no bloating no mild cramp etc... feel totally normal... i'm worried that this is a bad sign? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thx

Girl that is 100% normal. Consider it a lucky break day lol I had 3 days of straight MISERY on my trip to VA and then BAM I was totally fine for like a week, then all of a sudden I had nausea and dizziness again. Pregnancy is basically a ROLLER COASTER!

MissJen All of my appointments will be at the Naval Hospital-the military doesnt recieve the most up-to-date equipment so we don't have access to the latest technology like most civilian hospitals have. But I think the OB floor has a little better equipment-and thats where my appointment is on Thursday. This is why it sucks when they start cutting funds to the military-but lets NOT get into politics! hahaha

I hope the rest of you are feeling well!!

Ah gotcha. Do you get a regular maternity leave?

 

[tlk71411]

I get 42 days from the day I walk out of the hospital, and then 6 months from the day I get back to work to be back in height/weight standards. But my four years will be up in December so I dont have to do all of that again

I woke up this morning with really bad on/off again cramping for about 15 minutes straight. I'm so freaked out because it was just like menstrual cramping. There was no bleeding but I don't think that kind of cramping is normal?

Missjenn!! That is totally normal!! I get that too. It means your uterus is stretching for baby. It should calm down.

 

[missjenn]

And it really feels like real menstrual cramping?

MS has arrived!

yes it does! It is kind of cruel actually! The good thing is if it comes and goes for me...af cramps are constant for a few days. As long as there is no bleeding it is actually a good sign that your uterus is growing and changing..Im not a know it all I just do a ton of reading!!!! If you think about it your uterus doubles in size by 7 weeks which is huge and is likely to cause some cramping...don't worry...if you bleed and have cramps or your pain is so bad you can't take it go to the er but if they are normal af cramps no worries.

OK Ladies! I don't know about you all but I can't control my moods!!! It is like PMS times 50...I just bit my poor DH's and DD's head off for no reason I am angry and bitchy and I hate it!!! Oh and all I want to do is all day long!! No energy to do anything and my housework is falling sooooo far behind. I am working two jobs right now and needing a break from it all!!! Remember when we were trying to conceive??? Did we imagine it would be like this???? I don't remember feeling this bad with my DD! Anyway girls thanks for letting me vent
