pambee I'm so sorry. I feel you on being ready to be done with first tri. I told H really, I'm not complaining, I'm so happy to be pregnant and the symptoms are reassuring, buuuut if we could just spread the whole getting sick out to like once a day, instead of fine for two days and then 3-5 times a day for two days, that would be much preferred. It's just so draining on the bad days! But thankfully today was a good day. The proof is that I'm still awake at 10pm and its not because I'm sick or in pain 😂 But solidarity, I'm sorry you (and many of you others) are having a rough go too. We watched an episode of octonauts the other day and it was about how the dad seahorses carry the babies and H looked at me and said "if I could turn into a seahorse I would for you" 😂

I can imagine my husband turning to me and saying we wouldn't have kids if he had to be the pregnant one.

My puke free streak for this pregnancy ended today at 9+1. Boo. Hopefully it doesn't become as frequent as last pregnancy did, which was horrible in the second half of first tri, sporadic in second trip, and occuring daily in third tri.

Hopefully it doesn't become as frequent as last pregnancy did, which was horrible in the second half of first tri, sporadic in second trip, and occuring daily in third tri. I’m dreading this. So far, I just have the feeling you get right before you puke, for hours at a time.

So far, I just have the feeling you get right before you puke, for hours at a time. I have had that feeling and all day nausea since day 1. I think what tipped me over the edge was that I had a migraine the other night and a headache every day since. I did feel better immediately after though. Still, I hope that was it for a while!

I have been trying to find the babys heartbeat since last week on the Doppler at work. I know that its likely too early but with almost all of my symptoms mellowing out I have been super anxious.

I'm pretty sure we're close in EDD and at my appt last Wednesday my Dr couldn't find it with the doppler, she said it was possible but right on the edge of too early. Did you use a doppler with your other pregnancy? I've been debating getting one this time but I can't decide if the stress of not finding it will over power the relief of hearing it...

I'm sure it's just too early and everything is fine - my Ovia app told me last week that "those pesky symptoms" should start mellowing out so maybe you're just lucky and following that It feels like the time to be able to feel baby and have that reassurance is soooo far away!

That’s where I am so I feel like especially now that I e told people something bad has happened to the baby and I wouldn’t even know. I won’t have another scan so literally the only thing I can do is try to find the heartbeat.

Is rage a pregnancy symptom? It could be lack of sleep but I have no patience with people today!
I am traveling for work today and sleeping in a hotel tonight. Since DD has been randomly waking us up, I'm hoping for a good night's sleep.

I feel paranoid too, and we haven’t told any family yet. I have 2% chance of MC, but I’m worried something will go wrong. Can’t wait for second tri! Hugs to all feeling the same!

I texted H today that I was hungry but couldn’t eat anything. He responded with “Do you have the gestational diabetes test today?”
E for effort?

I’ve been quiet since we did our announcement to family... it was fun and great but made my anxiety really ramp up. I haven’t heard the HB since 7 weeks, and I don’t have an appointment until Sept 10. I really wish I still had my home Doppler and might look on Craigslist for one. I could also call my GP and ask to come in and use theirs. They offered back at like 9 weeks but I declined because it would have made me lose my mind not to find it and he’s not very practiced at the Doppler. But now at almost 13 weeks it should be easy enough.

Tlex it’s so hard not knowing what is going on. I’m glad you were able to find a doppler fast!

Does anyone get prescription prenatals or are they just a waste? I have not, my doctor has also never brought it up. I had a friend who did but I don't think there was a real reason for it. Did your doctor suggest them or are you just curious? I use the cheap Target brand ones...I switched to a more expensive brand with DHA last December and had all of my losses when taking it and I know it's irrational but when I ran out of those I switched back because I felt superstitious 😬

I totally understand making that switch pambee. My doctor suggested it saying they have more folic acid, etc. than over the counter (I haven’t compared ingredients yet).

My doctor just had me take an extra folic acid and a super B vitamin this round with it, wonder why she didn't just suggest an rx!

K I have the Doppler and I’ve tried twice now for 10-15 min sessions, plenty of gel, nice and low and all around. I can only find my arteries. I’m trying to be chill but it’s not going great. I had a Doppler with both my girls and don’t remember having so much trouble finding them.

How low are you going Tlex? When I’ve used a Doppler on patients around your gestation time, I’ve had to go even as far down as in their pubic hair to find a HB. I hope you find the HB soon!
