Got Baby? Avez vous un bebe?

[Marilyn. 340]

I am not sure if i mentioned it already but I am seeing the high risk doctor on Monday. I am assuming I am going to get stitched up within the next week or two..

Good luck Lilac, fingers crossed for you.

I had nausea with all 5 kids but Alexis(5) was the worse. With the older ones I just had to eat constantly to keep it away. If I could smell food I better be eating something or else.

Hope everything goes smoothly for you on Monday Marilyn, and let that husband of yours do the cleaning. It may never happen again.

I finally found out why I haven't been able to get pregnant again. I have a uterine polyp. Seems they can act like an IUD. I go in Monday for surgery to have it/them removed. The fertility doctor is pretty sure I will get pregnant on my own with out any help from them once the polyps are removed. So keeping my fingers crossed for next month.

Hope your appointment goes well. I hope the stitching goes well.

So I was waiting until today since I wanted to tell my parents, but time to join this thread ladies... I am 10 and a half weeks pregnant with our first! Had our first ultrasound last week and it was just amazing to see the little heart beating. Morning sickness has been a huge issue for me (I've spent days where I couldn't eat anything) and I've lost 5 pounds since the beginning but it's finally starting to get a little better. I can keep down fruits, plain bread, and plain broth pretty reliably now. Still can't go much fancier than that though. So sick of crackers and ginger ale!

Congrats!!! That's so exciting!

I had morning sickness pretty much the entire time but managed to gain 60lbs none-the-less. I hope it continues to get better for you.

So cool! Marilyn and Kimbear so glad to hear you are pregnant! Hopefully I will join you here in the next few weeks because I am in the middle of an in vitro fertilization cycle.

Kimbear I hope your family is excited as you expect. I am sure it will be exciting time for you all.

Marilyn I hope you are able to get the treatment you need to carry your little one to term.

oh so cool! I hope it goes well for you Lilac!

well i made an emergency appt today for my doctor. I was bleeding and a clot showed up when i went to the bathroom. scared the hell out of me. But it seems everything is ok. Its due to a pollup i have on my cervix. So i go in again on Friday to see if they will remove it or not. Otherwise chances are i'll continue to bleed through the pregnancy and i'll just freak out every time i see blood

On a positive note, stomach ultrasound showed the baby and the heart was at 167

Oh, Kimbear, that is scary. I hope your doctor can find the best way to deal with the polyp through our your pregnancy. I had a friend who has an internal fibroid that basically grows as the baby does and takes up almost as much space internally that the baby was having trouble developing. turned out baby was born fine and now she is pregnant again. I hope your pregnancy continues to go as well as possible.

Yesterday, I had my egg retrieval for my in vitro fertilization yesterday. The were able to get 18 eggs yesterday. This morning I got the call with the fertilization report. I was so scared that the sperm we had frozen wouldn't do the job of causing fertilization. Boy was I wrong! Four eggs were either immature, broke, something about a zona pellucida, and another one had some other thing wrong with it. So they used intracytoplasmic sperm injection on all 14 of the eggs and all 14 fertilized! Tomorrow we will find out the quality of the fertilized eggs. It has been an emotional morning. DH is very happy and we both cried a little when we got the call. Transfer is tomorrow at 9 a.m. This news has definitely made it a GOOD FRIDAY! Plus today my abdomen doesn't hurt any more like it did yesterday. Today is a good day.

[Marilyn. 340]

so I am getting stitched up next Tuesday. I know it is for the best but I am nervous especially after the doctor told me complications that could occur..

[VeeNDee 44]

I am having a pretty rough time. I've now lost over 10 pounds since the beginning and been unable to do much of anything. My husband has been great and making me broth, jello etc in bed. They put me on medication to help with the nausea but that has caused its own set of issues and I feel useless. I just mostly sit or lie around and don't do anything, because the minute I try to do housework I start feeling nauseous. It's hard because my mom isn't nearby and I don't really have any 'puke friends' - you know, the kind of people who would come over even if you were sick who live nearby. So very very thankful for my husband who has been amazing. And I really hope this gets better soon. 11 and a half weeks... holding out hope for 2nd trimester. Need to gain back some weight somehow! Fighting against dehydration at the moment. It's times like this when I really miss having family nearby.

Marilyn, i'm sure everything will be ok for you this time, just keep calm ( if you can i know its hard!) and make that hubby of yours keep helping out! Just remember to breathe every once in a while.

We are about to hit 10 weeks here as well, and 'im so sick of feeling nautious no matter what. Its not food smells its just this overfull feeling and half the time burping almost makes me puke I know how you feel, but my doctor told me not to worry that everything will be ok, and no matter how sick you are the baby wont be affected. My issue is I've never been a big water drinker to begin with, and i'm trying to keep anything i can down. We ended up buying those pedialyte freezies and they help a bit. I was also given a prescription for nausea meds as well and have also lost weight. Just keep trying to take sips of water every 15 minutes or so.

and don't worry about being lazy, your SUPPOSED to be super tired and not do a damn t hing the first trimester. I made the mistake of waking up feeling good for once full night of sleep, and then cleaned the house..big mistake, i ended up puking the next day like crazy Its not worth it to over do it. a couple more weeks and we'll hopefully both be out of this sicky phase.

[Marilyn. 340]

I can't handle smoked or grilled food right now. Even walking though the BBq section in a store makes me feel a little sick..

I luckily haven't been throwing up but the nauseous feeling still isn't fun. I too get a lot of gas. I always have to watch what I eat. The baby seems to like salads and cucumber slices and dip and pickles.. He/She doesn't like hot dogs though..

I pigged out at Soupplantation last night and it was one of the first meals in awhile where I didn't feel sick afterwards..
