Michelle - yay for hearing the heartbeat. So reassuring. And yay for only one daily lovenox injections.
My update - 6w1d, no weight gain. Morning sickness seems to be setting in, although mildly. It helps me feel a little more confident that I'm actually going to have a baby in December. Still fighting anxiety, but trying to stay positive and enjoy each day.
I originally had my first u/s scheduled for today, but decided to push it back one more week. I didn't want to risk not seeing a heartbeat. I know if I would have gone today there would have been a chance that we wouldn't see a heartbeat because it is too early, but that would have thrown my in a tailspin, I don't want to deal with that doubt.View Thread

My update: 4w5d. No weight gain yet and not too much by the way of symptoms. Some occassional nausea, heartburn. Tender breasts. So far so good. Have my first doctor's appointment tomorrow. Really just a confirmation, but I will get to talk with my OB as well.
Who's next??View Thread

But, it is what it is, right. What I find myself doing to stay positive is setting little goals for myself with this pregnancy.
My first goal was to get through my first appt with my OB without crying. I find myself dealing with lots of mixed emotions and memories when I got to the office. I can check that one off my list!!! My appointment went well yesterday, had a good long chat with my OB (got a little teary eyed a couple times, but held it together)
Next goal is to see a baby, measuring within a couple days of where i should be at my ultrasound. U/s is scheduled for next Thursday the 25th. With my first m/c, the sac was empty. I should have been 7 weeks.. Two weeks later the m/c happened. The wait was awful.
Next goal is to make it to 10 weeks. Second m/c, we saw a baby with a heartbeat. OB said everything looked good, however he said I was a week earlier than I should have been. I should have been 7.5 weeks, baby was 6.5. I tried to be positive, but I think I knew in my heart something wasn't right. Two weeks later, at what should have been 9.5 weeks, I started spotting. U/s confirmed baby stopped growing a day or two after my initial u/s.
So, those are my goals for now. As I reach them, I will come up with new ones as the pregnancy progresses.View Thread

Anyway, how did it go this weekend with the big reveal??
DH and I decided we are going to wait for a while to tell anyone. Hoping to make it to 16 weeks, but 12 minimum. I have a few moments when I wanted to tell my mom or my sister, but have held back.View Thread

My EDD by my calculations is 12/18/13. Yay Christmas baby!View Thread

Yay on passing the Glucose screen and MAJOR YAY seeing that beautiful little heartbeat. That is so awesome!!
That's crazy about the cardiologist. I would be pretty hacked off that they didn't tell me before getting the call from the cardiologist. I would have totally freaked! I have no idea what my BMI is, guessing it's over 40, though. Wonder if I'm headed in that same direction... although it was never mentioned during either of my pregnancies last year. We shall see.
I called my OB yesterday and he called in a rx for progesterone. I am picking it up tonight and will start right away. I decided against the Lovenox and opted for baby aspirin instead.
My first appointment is Tuesday April 16th for a confirmation and just a chat with my OB, whom I aboslutely LOVE!! He allowed his schedulers to double book him next week so I wouldn't have to see a different OB at the practice. He called me to let me know and said "anything for you". He makes me feel like he's known me all my life and we talk once a week.
I should also be able to schedule my first u/s for around the 7 week mark... might try to talk him into taking a peak next week, too.View Thread

My update: 3w6d. Just found out yesterday evening. As soon as my OB's office opens, I will call to see what he wants to do. I know he will start me on progesterone supplements and we've kicked around the idea of lovenox injections. I don't know how I feel about the latter. We shall see.
Have a good week ladies!!View Thread


, but my OB says everything looks great. I don't know that there is a way to curb the anxiety, you just have to breathe and pray.
Good luck to you. And please keep us updated on your results Friday. I'll be thinking about you!View Thread

either 6w7d or 7w7d (had u/s last week that put me a week behind where I thought I was. Haven't seen my OB yet so I don't know if he will change my EDD or not)
w/g - none so far
s/c - had my first battle with some pretty intense nausea last night, been pretty tired all day today.
Had an u/s last week, baby looked good, heart rate was 136. My next appointment is next Thursday the 13th... will be my first official OB visit.View Thread
