salmon2017, congratz and welcome! I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby girl. I think that as loss mamas we always will struggle with the fear and worry of another loss to some extend, no matter how positive we try to be. I too hope that we all will feel more confident and better the further along into the pregnancy we get. Do you have any early scans coming up?
I just had a freak out. All is good now but I was convinced I did something to hurt the baby. I let my progestrone suppositories run out thinking I'd only be 2 short..but I was 6 short (I didn't realize I had to take them tomorrow too). In other words, I only had enough to last until yesterday when I should have been taking them today and tomorrow.
I could have gotten a refill at the fertility pharmacy but I was too lazy because it's an hour away. I feel horrible, like how could I go through all of this to be at 10 weeks and risk losing this because I am lazy? What is wrong with me where I wouldn't do everything possible for the baby..
My OB called in a script to my local pharmacy today and they didn't have it in stock. This all took 4 hours before I knew. I freaked. The fertility pharmacy was closed. I called the on call OB who said it's fine, I can stop but if it makes me feel better I can take leftover PIO shots today and tomorrow.
Sorry if this is rambling but I hate where my head went :/

muscari, thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately I won't see my OB till January 25th, at about 8.5 weeks. It's ok though, just taking deep breaths

yoshijo28, don't put that blame and guilt and all those other nasty feelings on yourself. It was an honest mistake, and you fixed it as quickly and completely as possible as soon as you knew. You have done - are doing - everything for that baby. Now be gentle with yourself!

My ob just cancelled my 10am appt and moved it to this coming Thursday BC my doctor got called into surgery. I understand, but grrrr so frustrating!! I wanted to find out today. With the 3 years I've been with them, they've cancelled about 60 percent of my appointments within an hour of my appointment. I guess that's normal?

I am sorry to hear, that is frustrating! I suppose it's nice to know that your doctor will drop everything if you had an emergency as well . . . but I don't think it's normal for it to happen 60% of the time. I have been with my OB through 3 pregnancies over 4 years and have never had a cancellation. I have waited in the waiting room for about 45 mins once or twice, because he was at a delivery, but never a cancellation.

@eliida, I'm so happy the baby is still there and the bleeding has stopped. I hope things continue to improve and that little hb gets stronger. I'm sure this is all so stressful but I hope you can relax this weekend. Were they able to determine what caused the bleeding?
Oh @eliida I just read your latest updates - I am so sorry you are going through this. So glad the bleeding has stopped and I am so happy the baby is still in there and had grown a little. Hopefully the slow hb is just cause it has just started and by your next scan all will look all good.. do they have any idea where the bleeding came from? Take it easy for as long as needed (I know you will) - I hope you will be able to relax a little and that the bleeding stays away. Sending so many positive vibes and hugs your way, thinking of you!! 💛
AFM, is seems that MH will be able to take some time of work on Wednesday after all, so then we can go to the U/S together phew. While I really would love to see the baby again, the fear and worry of bad news ones again overtakes the happy anticipation - so if MH ends up not being able to tag along after all I/we have decided to skip the US on Wed and wait till our dating scan on the 16th. When all looks good on the dating scan we will have passed all our loss milestones and I really do hope to start feeling a bit better.
Physically my symptoms have increased like whoa these past few days. I am beyond tired and nauseous pretty much day round. Work was sooo rough yesterday.. I really am over feeling thÃs crappy but I try take it as a good sign. Just not sure how to get through 5 full days at work every week like this uhhhhh. Maybe I will call the sr to see about something for the nausea at least. Though from my meeting with him last week it seems he wont prescribe anything unless I start puking out my guts (which so far I have been able to not too...). So not sure what my options are but this for several more weeks isn't doable
/end moan I feel bad complaining about symptom cause I am ohso grateful to even be in the position to have them but it is rough you know..
@eliida, so happy that the baby is still in there and the bleeding stopped. Hoping you can get some rest this weekend, big hugs
muscari, great news that YH can go with you on Wednesday so many positive thoughts to you for a good appt! Sorry about the increase in symptoms, it's so hard to function when you feel so bad. I'm struggling right now too, hang in there!
@eliida I'm so glad the baby was still there and despite the slightly low hb, I really hope it helped calm you. All my fingers and toes are crossed for you. Any clue why the bleeding happened?
muscari hoping your H can go and you have a wonderful scan. Can you get access to b6 and unisom / Benadryl over there over the counter? That's basically what diclegis is, and supposedly helps tons of women. I've been on it and at first it wasn't helping but I feel great now.
AFM, I've been feeling pretty good these last few days symptoms wise, so my anxiety is high but I don't feel as anxious or depressed as I did a few days ago. It's weird. Like I sat on the floor of the tub while showering on Thursday night sobbing bc I was so anxious and upset about everything with my Dr and then I just felt so much better. I'm trying to stay busy to not let my PgAL thoughts take over, and I'm pretending my decrease in symptoms is because the medicine suddenly decided to work amazingly, and taking the one symptom of smell aversions to my fridge as a good sign (and not that I need to clean my fridge out?? Haha). We will see. I keep repeating "I am pregnant until proven otherwise and my baby is alive."
addymac , I'm glad to rea'd you're feeling a little better and less anxious and depressed as before. *hugs* I've had a couple of good cries these past days and while they make me feel all stopped up and a little headachy lol it did help release some of the tension that had been building up.
As for the unisom, I looked up the active ingredients and it seems there's 2 versions? One with diphenhydramine HCl and one with doxylamine. Either way, I looked but neither are available here heh. I'm confused though, isn't benadryl an anti-allergy med?? How does that work for nausea?
For the extreme heartburn I have I've taken some omeprazole but it's giving me bad dairrhea for some reason (have used it before and never had that side effect!). Other meds often rxed for nausea during pg here are emesafene (meclozine & pyridoxine/B6), zofran and primperan (metoclopramide) so maybe I can ask my dr for that.. I actually have some primperan supps left from ER but don't dare using it without getting the a-okay from the dr (even though the leaflet says tis okay to use during early pg).

Yeah I have no idea how an anti-allergy med works but basically I was told to combine b6 with an antihistamine like unisom or Benadryl until I got the official diclegis prescription bc it's basically the same thing. I've been too lazy to look up why / how it works though. It's so weird I thought my Dr was on drugs when he told me 😂 But lots of midwives just recommend b6/unisom over prescribing official meds like diclegis.
