Hi all. Doing okay here. Will hit the 12 week mark on Friday. My midwife says that's the second trimester but the math part of my brain says that's not a third...
Had my second midwife appt on Monday. We tried for the heartbeat but no go. She said we had a 50-50 chance of hearing it but we were still disappointed. She did hear what she thought was fetal movement and almost a heartbeat or two here and there.
Did get some confirmation though...my uterus is at my belly button!! I couldn't believe it. 2.5 weeks earlier it was still under my pubic bone. I've been having weird abodominal pain in the last week or so and when the midwife traced the outline of my uterus for me I went aha! cause it exactly traced where my pain was.
The nausea is starting to let up some (though it's still all day...except in the morning LOL) and the fatigue has gone from debilitating to bad. Had my IGF-1 levels tested (all you need to know is that it measures the state of Growth Hormone in my body). It was 122, which is where it was when I was first diagnosed with GH Deficency (been as low as 84). I inject HGH and my IGF-1 was well over 200 pre-pregnancy. I will be contacting my endocrinologist today. No wonder my fatigue was that bad!! (severe fatigue is the major symptom)
Haven't gained a pound but my body is reshaping itself. Most of my torso weight (I'm 40 lbs overweight and most is in the torso) has moved forward so I really look pregnant. Not wearing mat clothes cause I already own clothes loose in the waist, but I'm sure I will soon.
Then I realised I cant READ!!!
