5 weeks exactly today! I feel like I've been pregnant forever, and yet 5 weeks is measly, pathetic. I just have to keep telling myself every day that passes is one day closer to being out of the first trimester--I really hope I get to stay that long.
As you can tell, I'm super anxious/nervous about this. My first ultrasound is next week at 6w1d. I hope I get to see a heartbeat but know that I might not, because it's so early. However, I'm guessing my baby implanted early because I got an early BFP at 9 DPO.
Hardly any symptoms to speak of--anyone else in that boat? My breasts are quite sore and I'm constipated, but apart from that pretty much nothing. No nausea or cravings. Occasional uterine twinges, some mild lower back pain, and I've taken several short naps this week (I NEVER nap)--but that could be because I've cut way back on caffeine.
I'm so over this nausea thing already. And it just started. I am 7w, and already starting to plump out...well some of its from my previous fat and I'm pretty bloated. Hard to imagine that I'm almost 2 months...really? Is that even possible?!? Lol
The only way that I don't feel like %#^}*+ is when I'm sleeping. I get to sleep in too bc my dd who is 8, plays with ds until I wake up...She's my blessing.
StarCat and Stretch358, that makes me feel *so* much better! I am not as achey today either.
I am also SUPER thirsty! I can't gulp water because that makes me feel sick, but I am sipping ALL day and still my lips are dry and my mouth feels sticky or something.
I'm really sympathetic to all of you who are sick. I am very thankful to not have anything too severe (yet) this time around. I wish I could come over and make things better! When one of my irl friends had m/s I went over and cooked her a bunch of freezer meals so she could keep feeding her family. Wish I could do that for each of you!
I'm somewhere between 4w5d and 5w today - went to get betas drawn since we just came back from vacation and also got blood drawn for Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin 20210 - not feeling sick yet, but m/s has started for me at 5w3d and 5w4d so I have a few days before it hits... and then it goes downhill from there.
I'm hoping and praying my betas come back in the 4500+ zone - I was at 5714 with DD at 21dpo and last month I was at 3400? or so at 23dpo... and that was because my hcg was falling, so I'm hoping for higher.
I DID get ouchy nips today though (DD's nursing is wow...) so *crosses fingers*.
Morwenna, have you tried lemon water? The lemon is cleansing so it helps with m/s and I can't drink just water while morning sick but lemon water seems to be okay.
Oh, and SUPER tired here, but not as bad as before, probably because I'm eating a ton better, and taking B vits and prenatals.
Blanca - there is still time to feel sick lol! I had bad nausea with DD and then worse nausea and food aversions with the middle m/c and they didn't start until 5.5 weeks. I hope you don't get it though!
I found what gets my sugars back up and gets me feling better...however it means that I have to get dressed, get both of my kids in the car and drive to the nearest sonic. It's their jr breakfast burritos, with tons of hot sauce. For reals. So good and within the second bite I feel soo much better. I started craving california roll last night, but didn't want to drive to get it. So dh is stopping by on his way home from work and getting me some from our favorite place! I'm so excited! And he's getting these appetizer shrimp with cream cheese wrapped and fried things that I DIE for! I'm so excited yall!
Oh yum - breakfast burritos!! I had Qdoba last night in the airport on the way home - it was delish... so I had the leftovers this morning too! Trying to cram all the protein in before the sick hits...
Mmmm... California Rolls!!! I found my new fixation!! I have never really had super cravings while pregnant, but someone mentions something and it just gets stuck in my head and I have to have it!!!
I've been all about the icy drinks lately, too, and normally I don't like ice in any of my drinks; I don't like them that cold. Lately, though, I would prefer them to be frozen if I could still drink them that way!
I got my beta back - 3689 and I could be anywhere from 19-21dpo (though I'm thinking that I'm 19 or 20dpo). My beta last cycle with my miscarriage was 3450 at 23dpo (pregnancy was already in jeopardy at that point and I think HCG was already stalled/falling since next beta went down), and 5714 at 21dpo with DD. I will get another beta on Thursday and then a beta next week sometime just because they couldn't get me in for a sono until 7 weeks and this will help me know that everything is going ok until the sono.
The symptoms coming and going is driving me nuts. Well, I'm always tired but sometimes I feel sick, sometimes not, etc etc. I know I'm being crazy but I hate that.
Hi. I'm new to this thread. I just got my BFP on Saturday and had betas drawn yesterday. It was at 473. I didn't chart this time, so I don't know when I ovulated. AF was supposed to come on Thursday, so I'm probably 16dpo today. I'm nervous because I had 2 m/c's before DS was born. I'm scheduled for an u/s on the 7th. Still no symptoms either. With DS, my morning sickness started around 7 weeks.
Ohhh sushi nom nom nom...I am hungry for everything atm. I would rather be hungry than sick so I'm hoping this stays with me. Also, I'm INSANELY bloated. As in, can't fasten my pants, I look 5 months pregnant, BLOATED. uuugggghhh
Nerdymom - I am super bloated too, I can not suck it in and I am less than 5 weeks! The next few weeks are gion to be interesting to see what happens with my tummy.
Skippy918 - Do you have another beta draw scheduled?
s waiting is hard. I have not scheduled any betas or u/s yet. The doctor should call back tomorrow and then we will decide what we are going to do.
Stayseeliz - I know waht you mean about symptoms coming and going. Not that I like to be sick, but when I feel sick one day and then fine the next my 'wost case scenario' thought kick into high gear!
AFM - I mentioned waiting for the doc to call. Once I get my initial lab work done w/ the doc I am going to be seeing a M/W, I need to get both of those appointments scheduled this week.
I'm 7w2d and was so tired today but had a hard time falling asleep for a nap. I felt more impatient with 15mo DS today which I felt bad about.
It's about 10pm so I'm going to bed pretty soon.

The other thing that's been a bit concerning is that I started to spot on Friday. It's brown, very minimal, but has been on and off over the weekend. That's kind of freaking me out.
I hear ya on the eating! I KNOW I need to eat but have no appetite and some things just are completely unappealing.
Don't worry about the spotting! It's hard not to, I know. I had it last week and it's gone.
Holly, I too am so thankful to be at home with this pregnancy! I had a desk job and while I didn't have the smells you had, it was tiring and my ankles got swollen every day. I'm hoping I'll avoid that this time. It's wonderful to have a toddler who plays on his own a lot so I can lay on the couch and rest. I even managed to get a couple good prenatal workouts in and then lay down after
jennifer - LOL at the sonic burrito!!
to all you mamas dealing with a lot of nausea! I had that last time and it wasn't fun.
I posted in the pregnancy forum about my upper belly sticking out...ugh. It's been like that for months, I never reconditioned my middle after DS was born. I feel huge!
AFM - I have another beta draw today. My parents are coming in today to see DS for his birthday this weekend. Not sure if I should tell them and my inlaws about the pg yet. My mom tends to share news rather quickly.
I mustered up my courage and called my OB yesterday. She agreed to take me on one more time. Her nurses are suppose to be calling me today for an u/s right after Labor Day. I would love to have it before because Labor Day is my mom's birthday, but I don't want to risk being too early to see a heart beat and then have to worry. Then based on that, I'll get into see her for my new OB work up. I'm excited to see the U/S pics! It will just be reassuring that everything is going along OK.
8wks5days - wow! I had a lovely 24 hour stomach bug last week. For a few hours I thought I'd gone from rarely queasy to full blown awful m/s - fortunately, it passed quickly. I feel for you ladies who are suffering from lots of puking!! We have our first appt. with the midwives next week - fingers crossed we hear a strong heartbeat!
Juliee - On the heart rate question...I always went by the "talk test" - if you can still carry on a conversation while exercising, you should be fine. Your heart rate will change as you get further along as your blood volume increases. You'll find yourself naturally slowing down some too. But it should be fine to continue whatever you normally do as long as you drink plenty of water and listen to your body
6 weeks today. MS started yesterday, from 6:30am until 11am I threw up about every half hour. And it was our anniversary
I made it to the restaurant with DH and didn't puke there but I did bring home 2/3 of my food. Took unisom/B6 last night and I feel mostly better today. I am not good at feeling sick. Yesterday I couldn't even tend to my children. When its that bad I have no problem popping pills. They don't deserve a mommy who can't move off the couch. I only had occasional night sickness with the other two. Hoping maybe yesterday was a virus and I'm not going to have this for another 6+ weeks. Boo. This morning I looked at the clock thinking it was noon and it was ten. How am I going to get through this?!? Ahhhh!
