Hello everyone! I am so excited to be a part of this website because it means I'm pregnant! I was pregnant with my first last year and lost the fetus at nine weeks in Dec. 07. We've been trying to get pregnant since and we succeeded with a little help from a drug called clomid. We're VERY excited, but of course a little nervous. Please keep us in your prayers and wish us luck! First ultrasound scheduled for December 6th.

1/4/08 - Had our first ultrasound a couple of weeks ago (nine weeks) and it was amazing! We saw the little heart beating and we're able to hear it - 171 bpm! It was very different from our first pregnancy and ultrasound. That time we didn't hear a heartbeat and found out that I had to terminate the pregnancy. The tech even said she saw it move a couple of times, although my husband and I couldn't tell. Can't wait until my next appointment on the 9th so I can make sure it's still ok (our doctor does an ultrasound at every appointment). Then I will feel like I can finally relax because we are in the second trimester and the risk of miscarriage goes down a ton. Won't find out what the sex is until 18 weeks and I'm DYING to know! I don't care too much what it is (ok, I'm lying, I really want a girl) but I'll be happy with whatever it is as long as it's healthy. However, I'm not letting myself get anything for it until I know the sex and I want to start spoiling it already. Also, I want to be able to feel it to give myself some reassurance. Oh well, at least my horrible morning sickness is starting to subside so I can really start to enjoy pregnancy now. Congrats to everyone who has made it this far!

1/15/08 - Didn't get to have an ultrasound at my 14 week appointment :( However, I got to hear the heartbeat again which was wonderful - 151 bpm, so I know the baby is still alive. Less than 4 weeks until we find out the baby's sex (February 4th)! Was feeling great during week 13, but had some setbacks in week 14. Wondering if it's due to the prenatals, because I discovered I was taking only half as much as I should have been taking the whole time, so I've upped my dosage. Tried not taking them for a couple of days and felt better, but then felt guilty so I'm back on them again. Also had very bad migraine yesterday and some traces of it today (never had migraines before). Hate waking up three times a night - twice to pee and once when my husband gets up to get ready but I guess I better get used to having interrupted sleep! Swear I'm peeing much more now than in 1st trimester but I think it's because I'm drinking A LOT more now since I couldn't tolerate much in my first trimester. Feeling just as tired as I was in 1st trimester so far. Hopefully will get more energy soon, but I'm not complaining if the nausea is much better.
