i totally get the wanting to wait @hollibery. I did the same thing too and I'm glad I did because we were measuring 5 days behind. If I had gone in at what would have been 6w rather than 7 I don't think we'd have seen anything.

I had my appt with the OB coordinator and got all the pregnancy and hospital info. I also did blood work and all that jazz.
She moved my appt up a week to the 19th because my anxiety spiked in the waiting room worrying about everything that could go wrong before then. I feel better.

ftwr Hugs for the anxiety spike. I’ve had a few of those lately, too. I’m glad your OB’s office is understanding and flexible.

flyliceandcoffee - No!!! I had that at times last pregnancy. It sucks. That and when coffee makes you too nauseous or causes heartburn.

I have my OB history appointment on Tuesday. We will finally be scheduling the NT scan while I'm there. After having an u/s at 7 weeks last pregnancy it feels crazy to be at this point an have no idea what's going on in my ute.

Being stuck behind a school bus spewing exhaust while already feeling nauseous was not fun.

CharlieB you've cut out coffee completely? if I have to do that I'll cry. I did, but I’m not sure how. It doesn’t smell fantastic to me right now, so that probably helped. I cut coffee with DS as well, and then I had Starbucks once when I was around 30 weeks. I was amazed at how easy it was to be nice and chatty with my coworkers all day. 😊

I'm feeling like I need to relearn how to be pregnant. Last time I researched so many things about what you can and can't eat, drink or take as far as medication goes. I feel like all that info vanished!

I got some flowy tunic tops from Amazon and am wearing one today. MH was like "You look pregnant! How?!?!" I'm only 8 weeks but I'm bloated and more fluffy than I was 6 years ago with DD. It still takes him by surprise lol

Just popping in to say hi! I've been so sick, and exhausted lately, that I've had no energy to participate. I finally called my MW's office on Thursday and got an appointment at the Nausea & Vomiting in Pregnancy clinic. They were great, I got IV fluids, plus they figured out a medication for me to try (I can't take diclectin), and it's been helping. I haven't thrown up since I started taking it, and actually ate 2 proper meals today Still get a little nauseous when it's getting close to my next dose, or if I do too much, but I'm so happy to not be throwing up anymore!!!!!

I've sent myself into a level of high anxiety. I decided to POAS and the line was there but lighter than my other recent ones. I really hate myself right now. It could mean nothing and everything but now I simultaneously cannot wait for my appt on the 19th but also don't want to go at all. Why did I do this to myself? I feel so dumb right now.

ftwr ughim sorry! Just think if you drank a lot of liquid or peed to recently it can make a line lighter even at this point. A line stil means pregnant! Hugs.

flutterfly88 So happy that you’re feeling better! ftwr Idk how much science there is to this, but I’ve heard of there being a “boomerang effect” with tests after your hcg is past a certain point. Like the hpt can’t read the high levels that we see by the time we’re this far along. Maybe that’s the case?

Thanks guys. I've heard that too CharlieB but have no idea if it's true. I guess I'll find out on the 19th. I keep telling myself a line is a line and today I'm pregnant. I just have to keep myself from peeing on anymore sticks before next Monday.

ftwr waiting is so hard. I hope this week goes by quickly. We had a busy weekend with DH’s birthday and I’m utterly exhausted. Too early to feel this way so I’m hoping a good nights sleep and relaxing day with DD tomorrow cures it for now. TW for loss We had friends in from back home who announced their pregnancy to us. She’s 6.5 weeks and due 2 weeks ahead of me. They also shared they had a mmc in the fall. I’m so happy for them and praying this is their rainbow baby.

I've also heard about the boomerang effect and I would think some of us are definitely far enough along already for that to be the case. Supposedly if you dilute your urine and use a test it gives you a darker line, but I feel like it's more risk than it's worth and could potentially cause more stress if it doesn't work like people have reported.

Got a new (to us) twin bed for Mr. B today, went to IKEA for bedding for it, bought the duvet and duvet cover, totally forgot about needing sheets, oops!
It's now been 2 full days without throwing up! I am thankful for modern medicine!!! Provincial holiday tomorrow, but MH still has to work, and he has evening plans after work, so it'll be a test to see how good my meds are since I'll be parenting solo all day!

lol I know flyliceandcoffee! Why do we do this to ourselves?! Today I'm feeling more settled in general. I just need to make it through the next 3.5 work days. Then, I have Friday off and dinner out with friends on Friday and Saturday and then boom! It'll be Monday before I know it.
