Try to think of it this way-- if the levels went up doubling every however-so-often during pregnancy, they would reach 47 million-ga-zillion by the time you deliver, leaving no room for anything else in your blood supply!!!
I swear I've read that after your levels reach 20,000, it slows down. I can't seem to quickly find the link. (DH is being too loud watching football... ::sigh:: football season returns...)
If the person who went to medical school and specializes in such things tells you that your numbers look great, then they look great. They aren't going to lie to you! They have no reason to!!
Constipation can come and go. You could be doing subtle things that are influencing how you feel without realizing it. Freaking yourself out does have a physical effect on your body as well. It is going to influence your stomach, how you feel, your energy level, etc. know it is hard to let go and believe everything is okay... but until you have reason to think otherwise, you have to put faith over fear and believe that your little bean is doing great!!!
i too was concerned with my numbers in the beginning... after they reached about 20000+ they barely doubled every week..... its COMPLETELY NORMAL!!!! Trust me... now, I am 19 weeks and everything is going great.... please dont look to far into these numbers... ultrasound is a much better guide at this point
OH, sweetie, your numbers look fantastic!
they look great!
