I just want to fast forward to the second trimester.

I check for blood every time, too. I'm also still a POAS addict.

I ate deli meats sushi, and raw eggs all through my pregnancy with DS. As long as I know and trust where they're coming from and don't just pick them up at the skeezy place down the street (or sushi from the grocery - yuck!), I feel fine about eating them.

My grandmother talks about how all she ate was ham sandwitches and eggnog through her pregnancy with my dad (she had awful sickness). It's really about your comfort level when it comes to "raw" foods.

Me too, I am so wishing for that magical fast forward button!

I'm worried about sickle cell. I carry the trait and DH refuses to get tested. He says that he's not worried--no one in his family has it. Well, no one in my family does either, but I'm still a carrier!

I'm a little worried that here I am at 5+ weeks with basically no symptoms. If I did not know that I am pregnant, I could easily think that I'm not. My first appointment with the midwife is Sept. 11th. It seems so far away.

Thank you for all the hugs.

Sorin.

smeisnotapirate, i had an early m/c in may/june and totally hear you. i want to some kind of hypnobirthing prep too - are you using the book by itself? i also plan on using accupuncture and/or chiropractic.

sorin any chance you can find some literature about recommendations on who should test for sickle cell, and what could happen if he's a carrier and doesn't test? maybe he needs to see it.

I am 5 weeks today. This is my third pregnancy in three months. THe previous two ended in m/c at 6 weeks. I also had 2 m/cs before getting pregnant with my now 13 month old. The anxiety is so bad sometimes I can't breath. I wait until I think I am going to pee in my pants to go to the bathroom b/c I am so afraid there will be blood. I feel there is no reason to be hopeful. My DH doesn't want to even talk about it. I just want to close my eyes and be over the first trimester.

Reassurance: There is nothing I can do to prevent it. I cannot be miserable for 12 weeks I have two children who need me.

I'm doing the Hypnobabies Home Study Course, and seeing my chiro. I'm also looking into accupressure, but not sure yet. Will have to read up on it more.
