Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss #4

Are you excited reaching the 30 week mark? And finishing work soon I guess?

Yes it's exciting however would be slightly better if I wasnt sick!
Feels bizarre in a way as we have a cot and pram and lots of baby stuff in the house.... Oh and I get kicked and punched on the inside all day long ha ha

Nawww, I cant wait to get kicked and punched. I dont know how you have handled being sick all this time. I guess one day at a time. I am constantly seedy and nausous and its only been 2 weeks :( Your poor DH is a saint. The novelty is wearing off already with mine lol. He has been good, but could be better :)

It's been harder than I imagined and lots of times I have heard myself utter how over it I am. But after waiting so long for this I am trying to just get through it. Sad that I have wished away the weeks!
Your DH will come around if your sickness doesn't leave, it takes them awhile to realize how bad it is for you!

hi ladies... gp rang first thing this morning with my results from bt yesterday. hcg is 16,300 & progesterone 123. so numbers look well within the range so far... not sure why my symptoms have gone if my hcg is that high, but i guess its just one of those things. its been an overwhelming couple of days stressing about it, so i am going to try and relax over the weekend (wish me luck!) and patiently wait for my scan tuesday. thanks for all your comments, i appreciate it. :)

Oh Andie I am a lot excited for you xx

Andie - my hcg was 16,650 at 5w+5 and around 6.5 weeks the feeling like I am starving to death kicked in. Then it changed at 7w+1. The nausea set in and the seedy feeling. And being so freaking tired. Come 3.00pm I knock off work, go home, do the minimum house work that I can get away with and then its a big flop on the couch until 5.30pm get up and have a spew and start dinner. My ms starts off ok during the day and gets worse as the day progresses until 5.30pm when a quick spew settles me down for a while so I can sort out dinner. The whole day is an effort.

It sounds like your on track anyway. I still have my freak out moments, but I haven't had one since last Wednesday. I have a love/ hate relationship with the ms.

thanks, joeve. ;)

vic - thats reassuring that our hcg is around the same at 5ish weeks, mine was taken at 5 weeks & 3 days. im feeling better now that ive had it checked, the worst thing is not knowing what is going on. hope your ms is kind to you tonight and you can get your dinner cooked without the spew. xx

Ps my hcg was a lot lower than both of you at that stage :) I think it was around 6000.
So looking good girls :)

And yet your really sick :( You poor thing. Maybe it spiked?

My family is pretty hardy stock apart from my sister :)

I don't know how you all do it. I can't stand it anymore, the nausea is just unbearable :( All I want to do is sleep so I don't have to deal with it. I'm so miserable. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling so hungover I just want to cry. I'm sick of vegemite toast and salada's. I haven't eaten a decent meal in over 3 weeks now and It's really taking it's toll. All I have done for the last 3 years is wish for this, and now I have it I just want it gone :( I feel like such a terrible mother already. Sorry for the rant ladies, just had to get it out :(

Tasha I just can't say enough how much I know how you feel. I have not cooked anything since I was 6 weeks pregnant. I mean a real meal. I eat the same thing for a week then I can't stand it and have to find something else. I raved to you about chewing gum and just this week I can't even stand that anymore. I honestly am I not sure i would have coped if someone had of told me this would be ongoing! But here is the thing....not everyone gets it for the whole pregnancy, you have to believe one day you will wake up and feel better! I just keep thinking not much longer and I will be ok! I was wrong but that does not mean you will be the same. Wait until bubs starts moving it will help you a bit to bond and remind you why you need to keep going and accept that sickness may be part of the journey.

I wanted so much to enjoy this pregnancy and I really haven;t but I want my baby and if I have to go through this to get it then, as you will, I will just keep sucking it up.

I hope your sickness goes away. I found the days I didn't feel as sick I got diarehea....nice hey???

Oh joeve, you poor thing! Just the thought of feeling like this for 9 months make me feel depressed. I am no better today :( The vomit just sits in my throat. I have lost all joy in anything I ever used to do. I used to look forward to a nice hot shower after a long day at work, but the thought of undressing and standing in the shower, brushing my teeth...makes me cringe :(
I know you don't have long to go, but hope you get some relief even if it is a few weeks. FX i hit 12 weeks and this life ruining feeling goes away.

Tasha I am ok and through the worst of it fingers crossed you wake up feeling awesome soon xx

i know i said i would try and relax until my scan, but i had a really intense cramp that lasted about 5 minutes late last night, i had to kneel on the floor and breathe through it. i know cramping/twinges are normal with things stretching and making room in there but this was quite painful and not sure if thats normal or not...? ive had no more cramping/twinges since, no spotting etc. anyone else had a random, painful cramp? (i know its sounds silly to ask about 1 little cramp, but it worried me bc it happened just out of the blue, and was quite painful).

tasha - how you feeling, nausea getting any better? :hug:

Andie I did and it was on my right side. I panicked and then the next week at my first scan mentioned it. The US lady said that my corpus luteum was on that side and can cause cramps. :)
Mine was intense and took my breath away.
I am hoping everything is going beautifully in your belly x

thanks, joeve. this one was down really, really low, like on my pubic bone. just an odd spot to have a cramp. :dunno:

Andie - All the very best for your scan tomorrow. We are all hoping and praying that its where its meant to be, right on dates and the little heart beat is strong and steady. If your like me your probably counting the hours and swinging wildly with endless emotions. Enjoy it tomorrow. We will be stalking ya :)

AFM - The ms is coming and going. The last few days have been pretty good, but today its a very ordinary day. I am just praying that its all ok in there. I am 9w+6 today and I cant help thinking this was the day that we had our scan last time when it went so horribly wrong. The scan next Friday seems so far and yet so close. Does anyone know if my GP will be able to hear the heart beat with a doppler at 11w+1? I am not a skinny minny. It would be nice to hear the hb next Wednesday before the scan on Friday. Sort of a heads up.

Sometimes I am find it very hard to believe that we are having a baby. I know I am pg, but the end result of actually taking home a baby seems so not our life. If that makes sense. Like this is just a big trick or hoax. Sadly I know that from being on here that girls dont just have one mc and go on to have a healthy baby.

Still I shall be positive and keep praying to the universe to let me keep my baby.
