Good afternoon. Sorry it took so long to write. One of those days!
I think that is cute that you named the baby already. Baby E. My friend has a little boy Evan and I call him Baby E all the time.
I dont know about the flutter across your belly. Sounds like stretching to me. I started to have those pains about 12 weeks. They went down into my legs. People here told me that about 10-12 weeks your body starts to really change so I would just attribute it to stretching and making room for the little one.
Last night I got up to pee 4 times in the night. I guess thats a good sign. Today I was hanging things in my classroom and standing on the ladder. I stretched to hang the paper and now my one side is aching a little. I must have stretched a little too much. I hope all is ok. Doc. told me our bodies are tougher than we give them credit so I am going to go with what he told me last time.
Dont be too jealous of the 6.5 week appt. It is just a confirmation appt. I my first real OB appt. will be 4 weeks after that. I dont know what they need confirmation for. I can send them my 5 pregnancy tests for that. I guess they get numbers and what not. Who knows.
Other than that, good day! SOOOO TIRED! Going home to walk the dog and crash on the couch. Decided not to run anymore but still walking about 4 miles instead.
by the way....Good luck tomorrow. Ultrasound? Awesome! I know you don't need luck cuz this is your very very sticky beany!
I only pee once maybe twice a night! Hope your side is okay, you probably just pulled a muscle or stretched it wrong. Okay, I'll try not to be jealous, I got to go in at 4 weeks for a progesterone test so I can't say too much!! Glad you had a good day!! I'm tired too! Good not running, they say if you're used to it then it's fine, but not to start running marathons if you're not! I don't do any exercise right now, I put myself in a high-risk status until after this appt, and then I may keep my status until week 12!! That originally meant we couldn't bd, but we now just do that once a week...poor dh lol!! THanks for the luck!! We both have very very sticky beanies!!!!! I decided not to come in at all tomorrow so I probably wont talk to you till friday...sorry, home computer is down right now :-( You'll still be the first friend I tell though!!!
don't know if you saw above post...well, ultrasound went great I will be 8 weeks tomorrow and baby E is measuring spot on with my LMP!! Heartbeat of 166...I got to hear it, I've never got to hear that before!! I am so happy!! HOpe all is well with you!! Doc. agrees with the taking it easy and told me to continue with my high-risk craziness!! She also told me that I can continue with the baby aspirin!! I am on cloud 9...I just thank GOD!! Also you're not the only one who thinks this is sticky, my midwife does too!! She said that after having a heartbeat that good the miscarriage rate goes down!! I'll keep praying for our sticky beans!! I just know that this is it for both of us...new due date of Dec. 3rd!! I knew it was anywhere from the 1st-3rd!!
awesome news!! Sorry about not checking your posts. I just assumed you wouldnt post anything until this morning. I am so happy that everything went well for you today. Heartbeat of 166 sounds like a girl to me. Mine was 160 and I was having a girl too. Sounds awesome. I hope your DH was at the appt. to hear the doc. tell you to take it easy. No work for you! No more chemical cleaning...even with a mask. Be pampered for a while. You deserve it. You have been through a lot these past 6 months.
What does baby aspirin do? SHould I start taking it? I am on a over the counter prenatal and calcium pills. I have prenatals from the first pregnancy but call me supersticious...I am afraid to take them. THey are probably better for me but I just cant bring myself to take them. I was going to wait until my doc. visit and ask for something different. I think the over the counter should be ok until then.
I am starting to get a little nervous since I dont have many symptoms. I still get cramps but they are not as constant as they have been. They are starting to taper off. I am worried that isnt normal. My boobs dont hurt but they are getting fuller. I am already a DD...you should see how big they get...it is sick! DH loves it....TMI, I know! They are a little more tender at night but still not enough to even say it is a symptom. I hope I am just being a worry-wort. I just really want my little one to be ok.
Dh said girl too...he's not happy about that lol!! swears she'll be the biggest tom-boy ever! He was at the appt. he wasn't happy about that either, I have been restricting bd'ing (only on sat...tmi I know lol) and she sadi stick with that...poor him!!
Baby aspirin helps if you have a blood clottin disorder, but alot of ppl take it while ttc and pregnant just incase. It just thins your blood, if you're interested, you can google it or post a question about it!! My doc. said my over the counter (one-a-day) was fine!!
I was getting nervous too because my boobs no longer hurt, they have stayed kinda swollen, but they havent gotten really big...the doc. said that was fine, especially with that hb!! My boob soreness didn't really kick in until 5 weeks, along with the on and off morning sickness at 6 weeks (more on latley) so I wouldn't worry, but if you do get to worring too much, call you doc and see if they can see you anyway!! Your little one is okay!! We ARE going to have our babies in December and we have to remind each other that everyday because it's hard after all that happened to be calm!! Just keep praying!!
