I got the results of the cell free DNA test today and everything looks good!!!!!!!! I'm so relieved. In addition, DH tested negative for the blood disorder trait that I have, so there is no chance of passing it on since it is recessive and requires two parents to have the trait, not just one. That goes for this child and any future children we may have!
I found out the sex and it's a girl! I'm still in shock actually. Everything feels so surreal. I'm pregnant... with a little girl. I got emotional just thinking of it earlier. I'm so close with my mom, and it makes me cry just thinking about replicating that bond with another human.
I've decided to tell DH the good news this weekend for his birthday. I didn't get to do an exciting reveal to DH when I got my BFP, because shortly after I ended up in the ER, and things looked so tentative back then; but now I feel like celebrating!
I feel like I started showing today. (10w 4d) I told DH it was still just bloat/water retention but he doesn't buy it and I don't really anymore either. I know it's super early to have an actual bump but I'm pretty short and petite, although not very thin to begin with.
I had a patient's mom ask me today when I'm due. I haven't told my staff yet and one of them was in the room. I just laughed it off and said I'm still hanging on to baby weight from my son. Quick thinking, but I think she felt kind of bad and now I think my staff members are on to my secret!
frecklesnbrains I am a big fan of full panel. They're the most comfortable. Work pants, Loft is my favorite (but their shirts suck. They're like sacks and not flattering). Shirts I like motherhood the best.
So I'm just now catching up, I spent the morning and afternoon in the ER. I had to get two bags of fluids and was diagnosed with hyperemesis again. Pregnancy is rough. I'm so ready to feel better. Good news is they told me to stay home today and tomorrow so yay--no work!!
I got to see the baby, but the PA that did the ultrasound couldn't find the heartbeat which gave me a panic attack, but the doctor came in and found it right away. Everything looked good! And I've been able to eat a little bit today, so that's good too!
So sorry you're so sick! I hope you feel better soon.

Omg!!!! I bet she was embarrassed!
Yeah, she was, but she'll be back in 6 months and be like TOLD YA!
As many of you are, I'm so tired of feeling so sick, and realizing more each day how easy it was with my son. I'm almost 14 weeks and am still throwing up frequently and feeling terrible. I can't wait for food to be good again.
We just had to pin my DS down to get him to take his inhaler and I'm not even sure if he got any medicine.

txmommy14 call and ask for a chamber (I think). It's like a mask connected to a tube and you put the inhaler in the tube and they breathe in and out through the mask. It was SO much easier than the breathing treatment method it straight inhaler method.
origamimommy, we have one of those! I still can't get him to let me put it up to his face (he's only 20 months old). Thanks, I keep telling myself that too, surely it's better than 20 minutes of breathing treatment even if he HATES it and I have to force it on him. I kept putting the inhaler up to his elephant lovie and he thought that was funny, so maybe he'll get used to it.
Glad you get a few days at home, but I really hope you HG doesn't last too long. Did they give you any medicine??

txmommy14 they gave me a shot of zofran and a prescription but I'm a bit nervous to mix diclegis and zofran. The HG with my first lasted well into the second trimester, but I'm hoping that this doesn't last as long.

If it makes you feel any better, I started showing last week. It came out of nowhere. I thought it was bloat, but it's been 5 days and it hasn't gone down. MH looked at me yesterday when I got dressed and said "yup, you're going to have to tell your job soon. I think the jig is up!"
