+1 to super low BP. It gets worse for me in pregnancy. With DD every time a new doctor would take my BP they would start freaking out and I always had to tell them to check my chart so they could see it was normal for me. I do black out on occasion when not pregnant so during pregnancy I have to be super careful. I've been on barely luke warm showers since about 6 weeks as I can't handle the hot water at all during pregnancy. At least I know what to expect from the last time around.

We had ANOTHER ice day today. So 2 in a row last week and 2 in a row this week. DD thinks I'm taking her swimming in am hour but my car is encased in a big block of ice right now...

I had the low bp issue w my first pg but it has been in the normal range this time. Last time I almost fainted in church and I had to leave work meetings multiple times bc I was feeling faint. Nothing like that yet though.

My appointment is tomorrow morning. I still have such incredibly high anxiety about It. I’m really not sure why. Send some good thoughts this way please.

That feeling is the worst. Good luck tomorrow!

friendofdobby, I totally relate to the anxiety around appointments. Hope all is well!

Thank you guys for the good thoughts. She couldn’t find heartbeat on Doppler, I freaked out. She got the ultrasound machine. Baby is just fine, strong heartbeat. Was way low and stretched way out and wiggling like crazy. I feel so relieved.

friendofdobby I'm so glad it went well but so sorry you had to deal with the initial anxiety. I'm glad they got out the US machine!

At my 9 week scan the US tech couldn't find the baby externally at first and then basically told me to prepare for the worst despite the fact that at 7 weeks everything was perfect. Then at my 16 week appointment it took my OB FOREVER to find the HB which of course made me think the worst. At my AS on Monday I asked the tech to please just tell me right away if there was a heartbeat as I couldn't take the stress. I see my OB again on the 21st and I know I'll be freaking out again (with my anterior placenta the movement I feel is very sporadic which makes me panic even more). Gah! That got long! Sorry:)

Good gosh what an awful experience at your 9w appointment sammysam. The anxiety is so rough. I hope all the appointments from here on out are smooth sailing!

I had my re-draw for the NIPT today. Ready to start the long countdown until we know everything is ok with babe. Frustrated there is now a holiday thrown into the mix which will likely delay the results a bit. Back to the doc next week though. (Which I may have to change now that work meetings keep popping up. Ugh)

[sammysam]

eleanorshellstrop Hoping for speedy and wonderful results for you!

Is it possible to have baby fever when you're pregnant? 😂 I have a new adorable niece and all the pictures are making me want to fast forward to July/August and baby snuggles!! I know I should be savoring my last pregnancy but OMFG I hate being pregnant so much.

friendofdobby Oh that’s so scary! I hate the time it takes to find the HB. My ute is already measuring high but baby is still super low. luckily my MW was able to find the tiny minion at my appointment. Glad they had an u/s machine and you didn’t have to wait!
