The Collective: First Trimester and Beyond!

[TexMel]

Ugh, it seems as though my headaches are back. I got one yesterday afternoon and it's still here today. Can't even sleep through the pain. I called in sick to work and am about to go pick up an Rx for fioricet. Hoping it helps, as plain Tylenol has done nothing.

*Hugs* Take it easy darling. I know when that Migraine hit me it was not fun at all

Thanks, Dragon. Went back to work today. My headache is mostly gone, but still lingering a litte, just very dull. I think it's the weather, as we've had major thunderstorms coming through every day or two lately and the change in pressures really screw with my head.
The fioricet seems to help a little, but it has caffeine, which I've been avoiding for several weeks now, so I'm trying to limit myself.

In other news, next appt on Thursday at 3:15!!! No scan this go round, though. I think I go back next week for my 12 week scan. Can't believe 1st tri is almost over!

Went to my dr today, thought it was just a general checkup and blood draw, but they decided to do a scan and I'm so glad she did!

Got to see baby swimming around, arms and legs all squirming about. The baby even flipped over while we were watching it! Heartbeat was 166. The dr used the word "perfect" to describe everything, so I'm over the moon.

Unfortunately the machine broke while we were in progress, so I didn't get a print out, but I go back May 11 for the NT scan, so I'll get pictures then.

Glad everyone is doing okay.. TexMex happy to hear your saw you lil baby..

Dragon did you go to your appointment yesterday or was it for next thursday???

I have an appt today, they are going to do a pap smear etc.. and probably go over my prenatal blood work I did a few weeks ago.. hoping my thyroid stays under control.. Fingers crossed

I had my fetal heartbeat check today (AKA since they tried to hear Baby on the Doppler 2 weeks ago and couldn't they had me come in for another try) and we heart Baby Poof!!!! It's heartbeat was 170 BPM and it kept trying to hide frm the mean old dopplar. I'm happy and excited and ready for my next appointment which is with the Doctors my OB referred me to because of the Leiden. That appointment is May 14th BTW

 

[Melsue129]

Dragon... Yay!!!! so happy you got to hear you lil ones heart beat... exciting!!

I went to the drs today for the pap smear etc.. she tried to hear the heartbeat on the doppler and couldnt so put me in for a quick ultrasound to hear the heartbeat and my lil one was wiggling around so much and that is why she couldnt get it on the doppler.. Saw the heart beating and it was 174 bpm... couldnt see a good view of the baby seeing as she fit me in and she did it soo quickly, but i saw it moving around, kind of looking more like a blob because it was an abdominal ultrasound vs a vaginal (which I already had two of those before - i was spoiled and saw the baby up close then) LOL.. But my next scan date is May 11th, a week from Monday so I can deal, I think!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
