Morning/afternoon!
Puppy and Mrskg, massive hugs to you both. EDD is a tough time, especially when everyone else in the world is celebrating.
Fili, you amaze me! You're upbeat positivity is infectious. You had me laughing so hard with your rice cake vinegar concoction! With my third loss I actually found comfort in the idea that it wasn't a normal pregnancy from the beginning. I didn't get it tested but I still feel to this day it was chromosomally abnormal. It made me feel better because it felt like a "normal miscarriage" that had nothing to do with me or my body. I think your theories sound pretty spot on and I think there is still a lot of hope for you to carry a baby to term. But like the others i'm still going to hope it's the one right now that you will carry to term.
Pip, thanks for sharing how you are feeling as a pregnant woman. It's crazy to me that you can get to the second tri and still not feel much! Thank god for dooplers and scans! I like the information you share and have never found it to be harsh. I've always appreciated a well informed, smart doctor over one with a bedside manner any day of the week. Information is key.
Embo don't worry about the cold. I did a lot of research about this when I was really sick last week and everything will be ok. And I lost my nausea when I was sick. So did Davies and I've read a lot of other women report the same thing.
Andrea I had long bouts of no symptoms at your stage too. It really isn't an indicator that something is wrong but of course it is impossible not to worry.
Davies heartburn is a classic symptom! Yours aren't fading, they're shifting!
I had an interesting night last night. I kept feeling that pinched nerve feeling in my left lower back. I was cranky all day. We drove to the party last night and had to park several blocks away being that it is San Francisco and parking is a nightmare. I had to walk a good distance to the party. When I arrived I ran to the bathroom for a knicker check and there was a tiny bit of brown spotting again. Ugh. I had also inserted a progesterone before we got in the car so it was mixed with that too. It put me in a very weird mind space. I had the intention of telling my friends about the pregnancy, which I did end up doing, but was feeling very unsure about the pain in my back and the spotting. Luckily it was only that one spot all night. I must have gone to the bathroom 15 times! My friends were all very sweet and supportive. One even referred to me as a mum! I curled up on the couch at the party with a snugly blanket until Tim was ready to leave. Unfortunately traffic was so bad we didn't get home until 2:30!! Very tired today! No more spotting this morning but back still hurts. Can't wait for my scan next week to get some answers.
Hope everyone is doing well in the New Year!
Hope everyone else had a good night
hope you're feeling better after your nap
