Sam,
that's great!!
I know that November seems so far away, I'm due Sept 26 and that may as well be years away!
Right now my goal is 12 weeks, or maybe 13....whatever the magic number is to get the sickness to leave!!
Next Wednesday I have my second prenatal appointment at 10 weeks, then two weeks later I'll see Maternal Fetal at 12....it's hopefully going to be a looooong 40 weeks with many appointments.
It definitely still hasn't sunk in for me, I need to hear the heartbeat again to remind me. Good luck to everyone!
Leigh

If only symptoms were an exact science... I say sure totally... and also sure totally could be in your mind... but given that you ARE preggo and nausea is totally a common symptom of bein' preggo... I'mma guess the preggo hormones are kickin' in! And this one's for you momma. Sending lots n lots n lots of hugs.

Good luck with the meeting Lauren! Thanks for posting that quote. As miserable as I am with the morning sickness, I think it is really helping me in two ways: 1. It is a reminder that I am actually pregnant. 2. I am so focused on getting through each day that I spend very little time worried about the next day! That's good, right?  Keep us updated about any appointments or developments, mommas! Leigh

Lauren I hope the appointment went well and you like your doctor. It is so hard finding one that you are comfortable with.
My next appointment is March 7th in the morning and I will not be seeing my doc. I have to see another doc. since mine is going to be out of town. I was going to see my doctor on the 29 but then I thought about it and didn't want to wait 5 weeks to see her again so I'm just sucking it up and seeing a diffent doc. for one day. I hoep the doctor can answer the questions I have. There has never been a appointment that I haven't had a question or two for the doctor. My doctor is use to me asking lots of questions and being good about answering them. Sometimes I don't even have to ask the question b.c she answers them before I get the chance to ask.
Hope all is doing well and has a great week!
Laura

Today was kinda weird I had come achy pain in my lower abdomine and it has since gone away but it originally scared the heck out of me, I was just waiting to m/c. I know Im going to drive you all nuts over the next 36 weeks (i hope) The pain finally went away and as one dear friend explain it was probably my body making a home for baby!!! Its been so long since I was pregnant (not counting my m/c) that Ive kinda forgotten all about it! But I know its early but I have had the last 5 years to think about what I would name a baby is Ive ever had another one. So here is what I have picked out although I havent run them by my DH yet! Boy: Grayson Girl: Madilynn! LOL! but those are the names I have picked out over the last 5 years lol!!!

Appt with new dr. went well... appt with fav doctor... blood pressure decided to be 17x/8x. Seriously? I mean seriously? Lame. Ooooh a 24 catch. The ladies at the lab have been taking bets on when I'd be back for one... I wonder who will have won. Grumble grumble grumble grumph. Samantha- I got lots of uncomfy growin' pains even early on... not uber hurt.. but definitely a man... something's growing in there! Leigh- I seriously cannot imagine what it is like to be so sick! Yeeek! Laura- Hope that appointment goes well! I'm always there with a list of questions too!

Laura, good luck with the appointment in March, and that you get all of your questions answered. Sam-Yes, I feel those odd pains almost daily. I worry every time, too, because it just feels so weird. And it's been almost 6 years since I've been pregnant, so I have no idea what's going on!! I read the pregnancy week-by-week on baby center baby gaga and the american pregnancy website. Oh and I love the names! We haven't really thought of any, maybe once we know the sex we'll start.... Oh Lauren, high BP??  Mine has been fairly low, like lower than normal, which is how it was with Tucker also...until 26 weeks when it went crazy. Good luck with the 24 hour catch, that is so awkward to bring in your big jug of urine!

Mommy to a 39 week miracle |

Hi All, I have been away for a while, my cousin visited and kept me occupied . We dont have any family here in this country, so it was a blessing to have family here for a short duration. Cervix has been holding up fairly well i guess. the measurements are varying between 2.7 - 3.3. Hope it stays right there! I have been feeling all sorts of pain in and around the abdomen, i dont remember feeling all that last time...but then again, i dont remember much from the last pregnancy. Doc said its the body making room for growing baby. Last pregnancy all the problems started around the 19th week, so I am getting tensed by the day......... All the belly pics! So surprised to see them and so happy! I am 17w5d and I barely have a belly. I have gained 0 Pds so far despite eating like a lil piggy and my doc gave me some grief over it. I will post a pic tonight. Fun! OMG! I have started feeling the baby now and its really like bubbles! Its so amazing! I have my appointment today and hope all goes well. They are monitoring me weekly now till I reach 23weeks. DH and I cant come to a decision on should we find out if we are having a girl or boy...He wants to and I dont. So he suggested that he find out and he wont tell me. Really? Will that work? He would confuse the heck out of me purposely in the next 5 months and I think it might be fun . So many more preggo moms on the forum...... Its going to be a busy summer here! Congratulations all!

Lol! Leigh, try carrying the jug and the hat through the airport! Yeah! Thank goodness our island has a plastic bag ban and I had my MOD reusable from SU with me and could put it all in there since the bag they gave me was see through! Sanj- Glad to hear things are going so well! I was talking with the u/s tech yesterday about that! She said when she tells only one, by the next appointment the other usually knows! Feeling those bubbles is so cool! BP finally back down to normal before bed... and so far today. I cannot believe it spiked like that! I was so surprised!

Lauren- I hope the bp stays down. No fun.
Leigh- Hope the sickness goes away first. I could not believe how something that tiny made me so sick and miserable so quickly.
Sanj- My DH and I were the same way. He won. It was kind of fun knowing b/c then she had a name the whole time.
Good luck ladies

Lauren glad to hear the doc. appointment went good. on the HB. Glad it did go down. Praying it says down and doesn't go up again like that. Sam glad that the pain went away. I had a little pain too but it would go away. I still get some pain. Leigh hope the sickness isn't to bad and you can keep some food down. Sanj glad to see you back and everything is looking good for you. You will start to gain the weight. I have gained a pound a week it seems like since I got pregnant. I was up to 21 pounds at my 20 week appt. my goal was to gain 30 pounds looks like I will be going over that.

Okay, I am hoping that I remember to reply to everyone.  Sanj, great to "see" you in here, good luck all summer with the pregnancy! Lauren, ok, you had to carry the urine jug in the airport??!! Quite a bit worse than my just carrying up the elevator, I didn't even think about that. Laura,
I hope things are still going well for you, Sam-let us know when you get in to see your OB. Ok, so I went for my 10 week appointment today, I heard the heartbeat again, in the 170s.  The dr. added Reglan to my meds (already taking Zofran and Phenergan) to help the food move along, as right now it feels like it sits in my esophagus until I get queasy, then it comes right back up....  So I'll get that med tomorrow, the pharmacy didnt' have it. I waited about an hour to see my doc, wow, with the MFM and OB appointments, I will be spending a lot of time in waiting rooms! We already see lots of drs with Tucker, but we always bring snacks, toys, and movies for his portable DVD player with him....I don't think they let adults do all that. Just have to say....hearing the heartbeat again...I'm hooked!

Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks, praying to make it past 5 weeks 6 days when I m/c in December. Im not even allowing myself to get excited untill I pass that mark! I started all the paperwork to get my insurance straightened out and I need to get to the womens center to get my proof of pregnancy for the insurance company. Ugh so much to do!!! Please continue to pray for our family.

Good luck Sam,
I didn't get excited until yesterday I think, which was 10 weeks. But I don't know how excited I'll be for awhile, knowing that there are 30 weeks left to go, so you are definitely not alone.
Good luck with your to-do list!

Samantha- Love the reframe on yakin' on the driveway! Glad you got in for an appointment so soon and that everything went smooth! Leigh- After 20 weeks... 300 and 140/90 (either one the 140 or 90 twice in 6 hours) wins you a diagnosis of Pre-E. Since my baseline protein was already elevated 300 won't be my number, it will be a "significant rise" from my baseline and each time my MFM says that he rolls his eyes because he says it's the most ridiculous non descript term. Totally stinks, though I'm trying to keep it all in perspective, I just really naively thought that 3rd time would really be a charm and that we'd have all this extra monitoring again and it would all be for not because it would be picture perfect. So I think I'm feeling a lil' farther knocked down than I should. They're guessing that somewhere I have some underlying chronic hypertension that pregnancy exacerbates... of course high BP would be the only complication I never dealt with in Akeelah's pregnancy!
