IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

July 16th, 2008

We're pregnant again! HPT +!! (3 actually)

We didn't quite wait the suggested 2 periods before giving it another shot...but then again, we certainly didn't think we'd be so lucky as to have it happen on the first attempt. After my natural miscarriage in May, I had a regular period 30 days afterwards and my cycle is usually 29 days....it all seemed back in line. I imagine a lot of MC's result in a D & C which is likely a little harsh on the uterine environment....glad I didn't have one of those.

This time, other than in this group, I plan to try to keep it to myself for at least the first trimester. It was sooooooooo difficult sharing the tragedy week after week with those I had informed early last time. I am also, as you'd all imagine, a little more nervous than last about making it to the first U/S to see our baby's heartbeat. On the other hand I'm soooo much more prepared mentally, physically, health-wise and emotionally this time round.... *fingers-crossed tight tho*

WISH US LUCK!!!

July 21st, 2008

My first visit to the doc is tomorrow. My regular MD is on vacation and I am kinda happy about that, as I like her partner better. At first, when I started seeing my doc, I liked her laid back, casual approach, but when I MC'd and she was the same way....even using the words "what a drag, it was on a Friday too" I have found myself disliking her attitude. I hope I can transfer to him, but with MDs in short supply in my area, I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers.

I don't have any morning sickness at this point...just ridiculous gas, tender BB's and occasional malaise/tiredness. I'm not sleeping very well either....but who cares huh!! I won't be complaining 1 iota about this pregnancy!!

July 25th, 2008

5.5 wks now...time is crawling!! I got my bloodwork back and my HcG levels at 5 weeks were 1750. The partner of my doctor isn't keen on letting me switch to him, so I guess I will have to give HER a second chance. I've decided to take a few things into my own hands now though, seeing that unless you ask YOU DO NOT GET! I asked the receptionist if we can monitor my HcG levels better this time, since my prenatal exam isn't until my doc gets back from vacation in August. I told her I'd like to come in for another bloodwork next week, to ensure my levels are going up as they are supposed to. She said yes....no doc needed for that. (a nurse works at the office) WHY they don't suggest these things??? I dunno...probably frowned upon by OHIP. I'll post back when I have those results. Until then, I shall NAP...zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Tuesday July 29th

Results of July 27th bloodwork = HcG levels increased to 11,000. We're heading in the right direction!! My only complaint these days is my very stiff and sore neck! For 3 wks now, I have been experiencing a very stiff and sore neck, that has, at times, moved into both posterior shoulders and inbtwn them. OW!! My sleep has been disrupted, I toss and turn and at times it's so uncomfortable I've had to get up and put a heat pack on it. I've not read much on this being a symptom of pregnancy, so I guess I'll simply hope it goes away soon, and get more massages!!

Wednesday July 30th

OMG, what a nightmare of a stressful day. This morning I went to the bathroom and noticed a very light brown colour on the tissue after my pee. No blood, but not clear or white as usual. I freaked. This is what happened last time....and I miscarried 2 days later. I had no cramping whatsoever but my BB's weren't as tender (they fluctuate in tenderness it seems and are back to tender now) I called my MD and got an appt. for 130pm and when I arrived the reception let me know my ultrasound was scheduled at 330pm. WOW....talk about FAST.

My ultrasound tech was soooooooooo nice....I watched her face intently for any sighs of concern or disappointment...but ended up being thrilled, as she turned the screen towards me and said "I'm not supposed to show u this, but do you see the flicker....that is your baby's heartbeat. (176bpm) After the U/S I was sent for another HcG bloodwork panel and I will get the results tomorrow. I'm breathing a lot easier now....but dammit, I can see this being stressful right up until the birth!!! I'll post back when I hear the additional results. *fingers crossed*!!! (and no longer spotting)

August 3rd, 2008

Contacted Mississauga Midwife assoc. via e-mail and will await their response. Hoping I'm not too late. Somehow I thought my MD had to refer me, but this isn't the case. Since my pre-natal visit isn't til Aug 7th.....I'm hoping to have it lined up to inform her.

All is good...BB's are killing me, gas is ridiculous, peeing gets me up at 6am now....but not a peep of a complaint from me!!! I love it!

August 5th, 2008 - 7 weeks

Couldn't wait to hear from midwives so I called and signed up (gave em my details) They are supposed to call back within 10 days with news as to availability.

I spotted again last night and today....only on the swipe, and not much at all. Dark brown now, no red. No cramping or abdominal discomfort. My pregnancy symptoms are still with me so, I guess I'll not fret and hope it's just residual implantation bleeding?? Gas, hunger, sore BB's and tiredness during the day. Last night tho, I had a wicked bout of insomnia that left me tossing and turning all night with bizarro dreams! What's up with that huh?

August 6th

Didn't sleep well again last night, tossed and turned with more bizarre dreams. The one I remember and disliked the most was where the nurse turned to me and said...."I'm afraid your HcG levels are going down, which is not a good sign" YIKES!
With that on my mind when I dragged my butt out of bed this morning I called the doctor's office and suggested another beta blood panel to determine HcG. They agreed it would be ok. While there I got the results from my July28th and July 30th bloodwork. 11,000 on the Monday and 16,749 on the Wednesday. Didn't exactly double did it? Hmmmmmm. I am spotting again, although it wasn't apparent all day, only when I got home. The worrisome part is that it is changing colour now. It started off last week light light brown, progressed to dark brown and now has a tinge of pink with dark brown. None of this is visible anywhere but on a rather "searching" deep wipe after a pee. (TMI?) No cramping and still tender BB's, gas has abated today a bit, hungry!!, peeing more.... and set to see the doc tomorrow for the prenatal exam. I'm officially worried.

further posts continued in blog format....too much scrolling LOL!
