Happy Monday and How is Everyone Feeling?

[kensie5226]

I'm starting to get the slightest bit of nausea in the mornings and my breasts are getting sore. Otherwise I'm trucking along. I had repeat betas this morning so hopefully those are looking strong.

How's everyone doing?

[rooskie]

I feel sick to my stomach when I eat and I'm really warm. Like I came into my office and dropped the temp on my thermostat.

Also, pants are not fun.

I feel ok for now but was nauseous a bit over the weekend. I hope yours betas are strong kensie5226!

I can't stop taking pregnancy tests. Send help.

[kensie5226]

jerseyakl, I took 6 and then I only stopped b/c I ran out and I have betas. I am no help.

[kensie5226]

rooskie, oh yeah I was sweating last night in bed when MH said he was freezing. The bloat is strong with this one too. Yay, spring dresses!

I went into the dollar store on Friday after my betas and bought a bunch of cheap ones. The cashier guy looked at me really funny.

It was probably a sign that the Target brand one I used this morning was a dud! 😕

I just scheduled my first appointment. It's killing me because the date of my LMP gives me a November date, but I know my actual EDD will be December. BUT a repeat c-section would mean November anyway. Where oh where will I belong?

I will most likely be a november mom too. I just tend to go early. But I always just stuck with my actual due date board. May turned April and July was July by just 2 hours. We can be November in December moms together. Lol

[rooskie]

My due date is either 11/30 by LMP or 12/1 based on O and FET dates. I'm guessing my GYN will go with the 12/1 but I doubt I'll make it to December since it's just on the edge.

I still need to call their office but I'm waiting for repeat betas.

[kensie5226]

Yeah I'm Dec 1, but if they induce me early for hypertension again (which they probably will) I'll have another November baby.

[kensie5226]

Whoop, my betas went from 212 to 2026 in 96 hours. Yay!

Oh yeah my heartburn is already insane.

That's an amazing jump!!
I've already had tums myself today. I feel like it's too early for all of this. I'm a little scared.

That's really good! I go in tomorrow for my repeats and I'm kind of nervous but then I remember I already feel like crap so I should be ok.

[kensie5226]

sparkymcgee, right? I said to MH...well this is really happening eh? We'll do our early RE ultrasound at 6.5 weeks and then move on to our OB. I'm really nervous about all day sickness again.

So much truth. I think I forgot a bit. It's my fourth pregnancy (hopefully 3rd take home) but it's been 4.5 years since I was in 1st tri.

I have tums, gingersnaps, and saltines at my desk already. Too soon.

[kensie5226]

rooskie, I'm sending you all kinds of good vibes!

[sparkymcgee]

First appointment is Monday and then U/S two weeks later for due date confirmation and HB check. I already like my new doc. He's already being so proactive about me being high risk. I feel better about pgal brain now.

I had heartburn all weekend and didn't even realize that was why. Duh. Crazy bad bloat, pants that button suck. And absolutely no food sounds good (which is abnormal for me, I love food).

My first round of blood tests were on friday (12-13dpo) and they were only 21, so I've been very in my own head all weekend. I'll go do another blood test tomorrow after work, and hopefully hear back Wednesday. I will probably also take a pregnancy test again tomorrow morning.

I didn't have much morning sickness last time, and nothing much this time either. However my boobs are starting to kill, and my nose is smelling everything again.

[inaya]

I'm so moody and irritable that I'm driving myself crazy. I think hormones + nerves are a bad combo. Plus having a 2 year old this time might be exacerbating things.

I just scheduled my first appointment for 4/17. Now I'm extra nervous. I'm going back to the office where I found out about my losses; I had left them because they were horrible difficult to deal with in trying to get blood draws and whatnot in subsequent pregnancies and MH didn't like one doctor's attitude. The CNM that delivered my rainbow isn't doing deliveries anymore, and our insurance has changed so I couldn't go to that office anyways. I did like the CNM I had at this office and requested her again, so hopefully things go more smoothly this time.

I've decided to skip any early bloodwork anyways. It just doesn't seem important to my peace of mind - either things will continue on well or they won't, and getting my blood drawn for betas makes me anxious and sad.

Other than the emotions, my only symptom right now is feeling like my uterus is heavy if that makes sense. I've been aware of it for the past 5 or 6 days, even before my BFP. Oh, and being tired - but it's hard to know how much of that is pregnancy and how much is just my usual!

Good luck. Hopefully you have great numbers.

I'm just lurking for now, but wanted to say with my successful pregnancy with my daughter, my first number was a 23. You have to start somewhere! I found the betabase very comforting. Fingers crossed for a great number tomorrow.
