I have this week off from work which is allowing me more time to worry and obssess. UGH!


I am 9 weeks and about 2/3 days. My appointment isn't until the 21st and I willl be almost 12 weeks!! They did my u/s at 6 weeks, but I am still a nervous wreck since I had a missed m/c at 11 weeks. I called the office twice to see if they could get me in earlier, but they can't. I know...one day at a time.


Not many symptoms. Have to eat evey two hours, smells bug the crap out of me, bbs barely sore, and headaches.

Hi Sarah,

As for when we're going to tell, I'm not really sure. I've told 2 of my closest girlfriends because I just needed to have someone to talk to as I went through the first agonizing weeks! DH is adamant that we're not telling until after the first trimester. I think that is going to be pretty hard. I'm going to a conference the week after next and it will be very apparent to many that I won't be having a drink. I always have wine with dinner, and end up having a drink or two with colleagues either before or after the dinner functions (its a 3 day conference). As well, I'm going to visit my sister on the way home from my conference, and not having a drink will also raise suspicions.

DH really wanted to get the first tri over with, as well as a bit of the prenatal testing done before we shared the news. We'll have to see how it goes!

Congratulations on getting to 11 weeks!! I can hardly wait until I'm there!!

Rachel,

That is my one biggest issue- trying to not drink in front of people. I am Jewish and we had a large extended family affair last night to celebrate a holiday with lots of wine everywhere and I felt so akward like everyone was staring at me for not drinking (normally the only way I can get through those large affairs is with a lot of wine!). I did have one or two cousins start asking so I grabbed some wine had a sip or two and then just left the glass in my hand! I hate the deception! My DH and I talked about it and besides the few people that know now, we are going to wait for my next us at 15 weeks to tell everyone else. I can't wait- it will be such a huge relief!

Healthy and happy 9 months to us all!

Sarah

I'm so happy to see everyone doing so well! I am starting to feel more and more excited about this baby the farther along I get. I have less than 2 weeks (Oct 17th) to go until my next u/s! This will *hopefully* be the first time I will get to see one of my babies looking a little more like a baby and have a strong heartbeat! I am nervous, anxious, and excited waiting for my appointment. I cannot believe I am starting my 7th week already! I have been beyond sick this past week, to the point where I've spent so much time in bed and have barely left the house. I can't keep much down in the mornings. I just keep telling myself that any m/s I have to go through is better than what I've been through the past year. In the moment when I can't work, clean house, or even get dressed because I am so nauseated I feel so defeated and it is hard to be excited about anything. But I keep pictureing the little baby we will have and that is helping me get through it. My Dr has said she could prescribe something to help but I am SO hesitant to take even MORE meds during pregnancy, if it gets any worse, I might decide to. I've also been so incredibly tired, I cannot sleep enough! Basically, I have been spending a LOT of time with my cats lately: laying in bed and rolling over every couple of hours! LOL Me and the kitties are spending some quality time together!

Starting to really feel pregnant. It's weird, because when I had my m/c I never really felt pg. With this one, I've felt it from the beginning. The past couple of days, I've had increasing nausea (I threw up for 7 months with DS), really, really sore bbs, tired a lot, emotional. No complaints though. I guess the symptoms mean that my body is hanging on to this one. It's different for everyone. My mom said she never had a second of m/s with the three of us. I get the other end of the spectrum. We still haven't told anyone except my sister (she guessed). I'm not sure when we will. If I'm as sick as I was with Ethan, we'll have to tell because I'll need help with him. Oh well, day by day.

Im doing ok.. Im a worry wart too.. I obsess about every little thing.. If I feel a pain.. dont get m/s for the day... feel crampy.. everything scares me... and I have never even had a m/c... just from losing my DD, I know anything can happen, and im just waiting for something bad to hit.. for me it inevitable~!~ There has to be something wrong sometime... And im dreading the moment it hits.. But other than that... I think I felt the baby move last wk.. This is my 2nd so I know what to look for.. and I know it wasnt gas~!~ I feel a "bulg already and I have been able to for about 4-5 wks now... and Im only 12 wks~!~ my Dr. said I would show/grow faster because this is my 2nd.. but heck.. no one knew I was pregnant with DD untill I was 6-7 months~!~ Now people ask if im having twins~!~ Well, I hope everyone else is doing good... Due April 19 2006...
