What's up May Mommies???

We haven't had a lot of action in our May Mommy Forum.  Anything new with any of you?  

I'll start.  I passed my dreaded 6w5d mark yesterday (that's when I m/c my last pregnancy).  All is fine and dandy with me and I go Wednesday for another u/s.  I'll be 7w4d then.  I'm still having my bouts of nausea, extremely tired and BBs are still SORE!!!!  Oh yeah, I'm not sleeping that well and the trips to the bathroom aren't helping...

Anyone else???

Ohh, I was up at 2:30 chugging some Mylanta and eating a banana because I didn't know if I was sick to my stomach because I was hungry or what.  I didn't want to eat, I wanted to sleep... I finally dozed back off in time for the alarm to go off.  I just have to keep thinking to myself.  One more day and then I get a long weekend.

Well i have an ultrasound on Wed Oct 8. So hopefully I will see something. This past week I have been feeling more sick than the past. It's awful : ) But hopefully that means my hcg numbers went up alot. If the ultrasound shows us nothing I am sure he will test mu hcg levels again. So I will post something Wed afternoon! Wish me luck! Hopefully I will see a little spec!

It's hard to say much about your numbers till you have U/S and more numbers to compare, Are they going to retest? 4 days is a long time for them not to go up anymore than they did, Just hope and pray, at this point unfortunatly its just a waiting game! you will be in my thoughts, keep us posted.

Hi, I just found out I am pregnant today. I went to the dr. to because my tonsils were so swollen I was having trouble breathing & since I was late on my period they gave me an ultrasound to make sure I wasnt pregnant so I could get the medicine I needed. Surprise Surprise..Im almost 8 weeks pregnant, which now my sore boobs, being tired, and getting sick all makes sense.

I also had some crampning on my right side. It's not too bad tough..kinda when I chinge sides while I am sleeping. I think this is normal though, something about your uterus conecting to something for the baby... no need to worry. How is everyones HCG levels? Are they doubling??? Mine went from 3,240 to 3,600...my dr is worried a little since I had a blighted ovum in July and now I am pregnant again...I ALSO HAVE A BIG DAY WED! OUR FIRST U/S! Hopefully we will be able to see something since last time all I had was a sac with nothing in it....praying everyday!
Good Luck to everyone else!

Multiples...how exciting!  Good luck with your u/s Wednesday.  We have a big day Wednesday as well.  We get to have our 3rd u/s and meet with RE and see when he is going to release me back to OB.

Good luck!!!

Hi All!!

Just hitting the 6 week mark tomorrow (Sunday)! I've only had one bout of nausea that went away after 10 minutes or so, otherwise just a bit more tired than usual but no other physical indications just yet. Did any of you go through IVF? We did and the doc thinks we may have multiples. FIrst u/s is on Wednesday so we should have some news by then and you all will be among the first to know!

Getting a heartbeat would be amazing since I never got one in my last pregnancy. Fingers crossed!

Oh, I've had some cramping for the past two days, did any of you experience this? It's on the right side mainly and feels like the cramp you get when running to much...know what I mean? Any thoughts appreciated!!

hkenny:
When you post, down bottom it has "Show Ticker".  Click on that and choose which ticker you want to add.  Wish you could just do it once for all posts, but you have to do it everytime you post if you want it on there.

As for everyone else, sounds like we are all moving along wonderfully!!!!  As far as the nausea.  Eat small meals throught out the day.  Never let your tummy get empty.  Also, ginger ale or ginger snaps (which I don't like) will help.  But, saltine crackers work wonders too...

I am almost at 9 weeks (oct 7th) feeling alot of nausea with no throwing up, i figued out i have to eat every few hours or it hits, which means waking up in the middle of the night and having a few crackers in bed. boobs are still sore, already grew 1 cup size! and my face is still breaking out. my first obgyn appointment is nov 6 so i'll be 3 months by then, it seems far away and i really wish i could have got in earlier.
found out my stepsister is due 2 days before me, so we are both excited about that!

looking forward to the 12 week mark and a baby bump!

p.s how do i get my tracker to show up on my posts?

Hi All!
       I'm rounding the 9 week corner! Very excited! Feeling good here BBS still sore not NEAR as bad as they were! Still a little constipated. :( but even that is getting better. It is so weird cause I'm not real tired but sometimes my eyelids feel so heavy I can't keep them open, but all I need is like 20mins. and I'm good to go!
      I go Friday for 2nd U/S (10th) and we are gonna discuss seeing a perinatologist. I am starting to have the REALITY of being pregnant hit me, and my labor concearns are hitting me real fast. This is my 3rd c-section and Ive got a history of pre-term. My boys are 8 monthers. So I figure they will schedule my section asap after a 36 week amnio, but my boys seemed to not want to wait for that. I REALLY don't want to go in labor for fear of uterine rupture. I'm a little more scared going into this one, because I am aware of my situation, where I was kinda ignorant on it before, I really think ignorance is bliss!
      But on a lighter note I think the holidays coming up might make some of the time go by faster! :)

Hey, I just passed 9 weeks, so I'm excited to be past 8 weeks, but I did start spotting at 8w1d and have yet to stop.  Doc said baby still looked good at that time.  I do think that the spotting is lighter.  It started out as chunks of brown blood and now seems to just be tinted discharge, although the discharge is kind of stretchy, like the fertile CM.  Is that normal during pregnancy?  I don't remember from my last child.  

Feeling pretty good mostly.  My morning sickness has fluctuated a LOT this time, from so mild I hardly notice to not being able to keep ANYTHING down, so I never know what a day holds, but overall, I'd have to say it's more tolerable than last time.  I can definitely relate to the sore BBs and exhaustion.  I can't remember being this tired last time, and my BBs even wake me up in the night.  They're better during the day.  

My two month doc visit is October 13 and U/S on October 23.
