Hello Ladies! How are we all doing? I haven't been on this board much because this nausea has been kicking my butt! The doctor gave me Zofran and I feel so much better! I'm still nauseous but I haven't thrown up in a few days = ) I posted on the 18-34 forum that I had to get a level 2 ultrasound done because the ultrasound technician "found a band like structure" in the gestational sac at my 7 week ultrasound. Well I was stressing out like crazy for a week before I could get into see the high risk specialist to get the level 2 ultrasound. I had that ultrasound this past Monday (8 weeks, 4 days) and my baby is PERFECT <3 There was NOTHING abnormal found in the gestational sac. The baby had a healthy heartbeat of 146 BPM. My husband and I are feeling so blessed!  I am 9 weeks today and I cannot wait to get out of this 1st trimester! I also CANNOT stop eating! I am hungry every hour! I am already in maternity pants for work HAHAHA!I got the stretchy black casual pants at Target and they are SO comfortable! My next appointment is March 2nd for the 1st Trimester screening and I'll be 12 weeks, 5 days so almost out of the 1st trimester by then!
Sorry this is so long I just wanted to post an update and find out how all the other September mommies are doing??!!!

I am 9w5...so far everything has been more or less normal, no nausea, just food aversion to certain things on certain days, also been a lot hungrier but have only gained a pound or two.
Had to go to the hospital on Saturday because my allergies were acting up and they gave me some misty stuff to breathe which helped that...also had a bad itch down there, but they ran tests and I'm perfectly healthy and it's going away, so must have just been hormones or something acting up.
I go in for an ultrasound on the 15th! It will be my first one and i'm SUPER excited!!!! <3

Just got back from my first ultrasound at 6w5d.  My sticky bean is measuring at 7w1d and I got to see and hear the 146 bpm heart rate.  I am so relieved and happy.  Now I just have to try not worry myself silly between now and the next ultrasound.

I'm now 8 weeks and 3 days, seen my doctor who took a urine sample (not good for my nausea!!) and checked my blood pressure which was great! Now I'm just waiting for a call from the Midwife to see me later this week to give me more information on other things! I can't wait for my 12 week scan, not had any blood tests done yet to confirm HCG level but this nausea and tiredness is all the confirmation I need at the moment!! Due 17th sept! that day just can't come quick enough for me! :)

Today I am 6w3d and anxious for my first U/S on Monday.  I have had nearly zero symptoms...just light constipation, very light breast tenderness, and just recently dry mouth, particularly at night.  I am so nervous about the U/S because of how my journey started just in December.  I am single and had not been TTC.  I went to an RE to start the process of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies - like artificial insemination and IVF).  Based on horomone tests, I was told I had less than a 1% chance of having a biological child even with the most agressive meds and IVF.  I decided I would still pursue ART with a different RE but also decided I would get busy naturally, with a willing donor.  And here I am!  But that initial diagnosis has me worried more than I normally would be.  I fear there being something adnormal or unhealthy with my eggs and hence, this pregnancy.  Pray for me and wish me luck on Monday!

Not much to report, I'll be about 10 wks tomorrow. First ultrasound is scheduled for tuesday.  STill been feeling crappy...nausea, exhaustion, etc.

I had an u/s today and my two little beans are growing right on track at 10weeks 1day! It was so amazing to see! They were both bouncing around like they were dancing! Everytime the tech rolled over them, they were moving and waving their arms! I cried bc it was so amazing! I'm crying as I think about it...I'm very emotional right now! :) I still have all day/night nausea that keeps me up all night as well. But, after seeing the babies today, it has been the furthest thing from my mind! Praying for everyone to have happy, healthy, & great pregnancies!

I had my U/S today. It went really well. This time the new office did a transvag u/s. Last two were belly and not as clear. I can't believe the difference in clarity.  You can see the separation in head and body and two little arm buds.  Such a growth in just one week. I can't wait till next Thursday when I get another one.  I didn't get to meet with the Dr only an ultrasound. I did however have to go get my progesterone checked again. More blood I feel like a pin cushion. It was a 19.6 from mondays BW and he wanted to check it again.  

We went to dinner at Olive Garden one of my favorite places. I am still suffering with way to much in my stomach here four hours later. I always eat way to much when I go there with the salad and the bread sticks with alfrado sauce and only ate half my meal then i got a desert to take home which I haven't gotten a chance to eat yet. :(

The burping has gotten pretty bad the last few days. I have suffered from indigestion since I was very young. (GURD) Zantac is the only thing that seems to help right now with the discomfort and I really don't like taking it cuz it's a catagory B.  Even though the Dr told me it's safe I still don't want to abuse it. It's so early in my pregnancy and I'm sure once I'm farther along and my stomach is squashed I'm gonna have to take it every time I eat.

i cant believe im thankful to be carrying around all day nausea with me...funny thing is i just said that my bf tongiht and he told me im messed up...this preg is def kicking my butt...ive had 5 preg and never ever felt this sick...sadly i only have 1 5 year old son but i am staying hopeful this time around

best of luck to all you ladies...please stay in touch

nola0805 - thank you for the nausea advice :)

I'm 7wk 2days and so far I haven't had awful nausea just yet.  I have felt queasy and brushing my teeth is really an adventure.  My queasiness didn't really start until week 6 and it's been a steady morning symptom after I have breakfast.  Some days it lasts until I get hungry again, which is within 2 hours or so, and some other days it comes back after lunch.  I never experience it after dinner.  Today it wasn't as strong as during the past week, so I am somewhat thankful, although I can't deny that it makes me worry.  My last miscarriage was in '07 and I was just about this far along.  I remember having lost the queasiness a week before I spotted.  As far as ways to deal with the nausea/queasiness, I really don't have to do much, I eat pretty frequently in the mornings and have a giant lunch.  
My first scan will be the 10th, and I can't wait.  I am hoping to God to get good news.  I'll keep you all posted.  Please keep me in your prayers.

I am now 10 weeks and finally getting a handle on terrible, terrible all day nausea.  I had my first ultrasound on Monday and everything looked fine - heartbeat of 173.  That first ultrasound was so exciting.

AmyG89 - sorry to hear that you had such a scare and thank goodness everything is fine. This nausea is awful isn't it?  I am not hungry all the time but I force myself to eat often to keep the worst of the nausea at bay - but I only fit into a few work pants now!  It is terrible.  I guess we better get used to it, huh?

Waitn838 - I know you have been having a rough week and I am so sorry.  But I think that you rising HcG and beginning nausea are wonderful signs.  Did you ever think you would be thankful for nausea?  keep us posted and my thoughts and prayers will be with you.  p.s. - I gave you some nausea tips on the 35+ board

[AmyG89]

I had spotting at 5 weeks, 6 weeks, and 7 weeks. All is fine with my baby! Be positive and I'm sure everything will be fine! Do you have heavy clotting and or very bad cramping? If not I wouldn't worry too much as I think spotting is more common than people think.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

[waitn838]

i had a scan at 5 weeks and 1 day because i was spotting....all the ER said was they saw a sac...nothing else...i  have been worried since...i dont know if they saw a yolk sac or not...i go back on tuesday for my next u/s to check on the development...im so scared it will be an empty sac

my hcg levels have been good: 4973 on 1/27 and 15420 on 1/31

i hope im able to post next tuesday that we got a heart beat

im still taking heparin and have gotten used to the needles now
