[hekate]

projects! I would be happy if I just managed all the daily things that needs doing....my house is a mess! I am a mess!
I shall never complain about little symptoms! I have done nothing but sleep for the last few days! and I feel so incredibly
I guess I was asking for it!

 

[Megg33k]

I'm just sleeeeeeeeeepy! Boobs are sore sometimes and sometimes not. I can't say I have much else going on! Maybe in time... maybe not! We'll see!

Hope you're all well... or as well as can be expected with dizziness, nausea, exhaustion, aching boobs, and the like!

 

[Tulip]

Yeah I have too many projects on the go.... K's going to go apeshit when he sees this one - he has been waiting on a pair of socks for almost a year now

Tell you what I've had boundless energy today. Need to slow down a bit I think x

Just got back from first appointment with new OB. First thing they did was an ultrasound. Turns out I do have a tilted uterus!!!!! We saw the baby once she adjusted the machine for the tilt!!!! Its still in there. The disturbing part is that it has developed an arrhythmia. The good news is that its a regular arrhythmia and is will probably resolve itself, and its possible that it has the same heart defect I have. Taking into account the arrhythmia the fetal heart rate is 146 bpm although its only beating 100 times a minute. He said he's seen this before and it usually corrects itself and to remember that this is an immature heart so its just starting to develop more than one chamber but they won't look at that until 24 weeks. He's not discouraged and sees no reason to terminate based on anything he saw. Baby measuring about 6 weeks. He eyeballed that but I don't care. Last wednesday they told me it was 5 weeks, so in 5 days it has made 7 days progress. The sac is bigger and still changing shape so definite growth. They gave me pictures and a prescription for heart medicine for me. Last week the flicker was on the upper right hand side of the sac, today its in the middle of the bottom and is less flicker more pulsation, she even let me hear it!! Scary though hearing it go and pause and so on. But I'm much more positive since they are too. He said unless I had any bleeding he is really not worried anything will go wrong and is taking the heart beat as a good sign things are progressing! Fetal pole measured at 2mm last wednesday only 3.3 mm today but they are actually measuring the baby this time and not guessing. She also decided to measure small just in case she was including some of the yolk sac so I am completely encouraged.

that's great news kimini!

 

[Beadette]

Wow Kimini! Such an encouraging read! I'm pleased for you and will keep you in my thought! I hope your little bubs gets stronger and stronger in the coming weeks!!! Lots of love xxxxx

 

[Megg33k]

That's great, Kim! I think it sounds really, really promising! So happy you got a 2nd opinion!!!

 

[kimini26]

Same here, I'm just going to pretend last week's didn't happen. Now the big question is do I keep my appointment with other OB for thursday?

 

[hannah76]

great news kim!!! yaaaay sounds like the high risk dr. is better suited to yours and bubs needs, eh?

 

[Megg33k]

Uhm... Thurs is soon! I don't know! I probably wouldn't if you're sufficiently encouraged for the moment... but do whatever you feel is right for you!

 

[kimini26]

I kinda want to go to see if the heart beat is still weird after I start the new meds tomorrow. It does cross the placenta and baby will essentially get the same dose as me. Plus my sister-in-law wants to go so she can say something mean to them while I just want to for the extra bit of reassurance. I don't know yet.

 

[Megg33k]

If you want to see the heartbeat to check for a difference, totally do it! I like the idea of being mean to them too!
