I saw your Q about travel. My midwife said to "start planning on staying close to home" beginning around mid October. It's not the airplane, but the being away from your providers in case things change late in the pregnancy and need attention. As for the airplane or even the car, pregnant women have a greater risk of developing a DVT (deep vein thrombosis), usually in the lower leg. It's dangerous if it happens, b/c it's a clot that can travel inyour veins and get stuck someplace else. To avoid it when traveling, they say to get up and walk around at least every two hours. By car, pull over and stretch and walk. By air, get up and stroll to the restroom, and make up excuses to get out of your seat.

Wow, oh my goodness--I can't believe the ordeal your mother went through. OK, not to dwell, it is good that she has found care that she can rest safely with. I was just talking w/ DH about that kind of thing today. In the past few yrs I've run into some real dingbats in medicine, and also a couple of pearls who are really what medicine is supposed to be about. Glad to hear things are resolved.

I'm doing alright now. I just had a good midwife visit, at 13 wks. This is a big deal for me. I've been serene all along this time, except pretty much flipping out in the couple of days before each visit, when I begin to dread the possibility of being handed bad news once more. So far, so good, though.

Putting up a new blog today on my profile page...

I've been getting a few more headaches in the evening. Not sure why, I drink plenty of water and go to bed early. Really tired the past two days. I went to bed at 8:15 the last two nights! I guess the baby is going through a growth spurt! We listened to the heartbeat yesterday. So exciting! I'm glad you're feeling better. Yes, each day you get a little more confident that the baby really is in there huh. I'm still wanting a real tummy though, not just the fatty parts that look like you've had too many beers!

Oh, glad you're feeling better. So, you're through with the progesterone now? I have one more day. Well, I recall them saying to go through the 12th week, and I have 4 more days for that, but I'll be out of my supply tomorrow, and I'm just not refilling it. We never had any reason to believe I had a luteal phase defect to begin with--My RE just prescribes it to all of his patients once they get pregnant, just in case. Then my midwives in turn assign me the diagnosis b/c, well, they can't imagine why this industry expert would give me progesterone if I don't have the problem. My medical records must be totally wrecked by now after all we've been through! The less time anyone can spend with doctors, the better off they'll be. I'm convinced! Speaking of which, what's up with your mom? I hope everything turns out alright.

907 - Friday, 30 May
Yes me too. I have another Dr. appt next Monday to listen to the heartbeat. I'm still kind of nervous because I hear things happen to women even after this state. I'll be 12 weeks next Tuesday! Wow time flies! I've been tired a few days here and there but overall really good! I need to get more exercise though. :( Glad you're feeling much better!!!

Oh, I am fine. Glad to know you are making it. No apologies needed on the delay. I have been crazy myself, too. I hope your mom is better now and glad to know you are coming around favorably.

My husband will be here in about 6 weeks. He arrives in America on July 11th...which simply seems so long away.

We is about to travel for about a month then head home.

I really miss him, but finally it is winding down. I guess it is good, because of my severe laziness not much cooking or cleaning has been going on...smiles. The poor fellow would have been in trouble during my first trimester.

Thanks for asking. It really means a lot.

Smiles,

Debora :-)

Hi. I hope you're having a fun weekend. Have you told your son yet about your pregnancy? I just put in a new blog--I think our news might come out sooner than I'd hoped. Yikes.

debora - Thursday, 22 May
Hi, Chica:

I am fine! The appoint was great!!! I like my midwife...real concerned with gaging eyes...it was in her hands...the act of delivering babies...I can't explain it...but a lot of wisdom and experience was behind those glasses. She read every detail in my file...even asking what my degree was in and asking about my husband and I...our love for one another...etc...she said she use to do a lot of bedside chats, but when the baby demand became so heavy, she wasn't able to as much...she smiled a lot...asked a lot of questions...I must have spent over an hour with her.

I have been poked, upon poked and prodded...refreshing...to say the least...pun intended.

Did the usual...blood work, pap, paperwork, questions upon questions and then a serious talk with the midwife.

They don't waste anytime reminding you of your advanced maternal age, do they? It's like a curse or something to rear children older.

Anyway, I refused all tests except the routine ultra sounds despite the statistics she shared with me and how the other genetic testing services are supposed to inform me of what's what. I will keep and love my child no matter what.

Also, my size is fine for the date. She said I am right on point, so....the child is not larger like I suspected. I have gained about 4 more pounds....give or take. I guess I will just be fat this go round, so, it's not " baby fat" just a "big momma"...smiles...

After I told her about the movements, she was going to do an ultrasound, but when the sizing was in line with the dates, she said it wasn't necessary...bummer...I wanted to see my little love!

Anyway, go back in about 5 weeks or so.

She used three different dopplers and could not find a heartbeat...which she said was perfectly normal for the age of the child.

So, she recommended me to a baby class which starts June 13th...so I guess I will start touring hospitals and planning the nursery.

All looked fine....

Oh, I will be working the weekend. Got a new design contract! Slammed out with work. Glad to know you will have a little break.


You know like I do what you are feeling! Indeed the child is active inside of you!

Smiles,

Debora :-)

I have been feeling better, but I did call the doctor. I'm still waiting to hear back. (This is the first free moment that I've had to call. I'm pretty sure I am fine though.)

I told my principal, and she was happy for me. It is nice to have that out of the way. Now I don't feel like I am keeping secrets or hiding anything. Actually, this weekend was the first time I told people I was pg that I didn't get all nervous. I just turned 11 weeks today, and I feel like I am so close to the second trimester that I am feeling better about everything.

Oh my gosh - thank goodness you didn't listen to the first doctor! You've had a lot of scares in the past few weeks. Have you been feeling better about everything recently?

Have you told your son yet, or are you waiting another week?

mariettap - Tuesday, 20 May
Congratulations--You've reached 11 weeks! Hauling through it. I hope you had a good weekend.

pregnantlilhouston - Tuesday, 20 May
thats so exciting...i cant wait to exspearence that feeling!

judi - Tuesday, 20 May
You're very welcome. I think the only reason more people don't know is because the companies are making a lot of money out of their fancy creams and they have a vested interest in us not knowing that all you need is generic baby oil!

pregnantlilhouston - Tuesday, 20 May
im excited i just cant wait!

debora - Sunday, 18 May
Good to know I am not the only insane pregnant woman feeling her baby this early.

Mine moved a bit this morning, a little this afternoon, but now he/she is asleep, I guess.

I have a design project to do, so I will keep him/her tonight, as I am always without sleep every day...because of hunger or just because...

We will see how this goes tonight. I hope to stay up a good while working on a bedroom for a client, so hopefully I can fall off to sleep once I am done without the extra wiggles.

I think I will be eased after my first appointment on Monday to see what's really going on inside!

Debora :-)

Yesterday at work I was feeling really weird. I was wobbly and light headed. It lasted for about an hour and a half before I started to get nervous. I'm a teacher, and only the aid who works in my classroom knows. I left the aid with the kids and went down to the school nurse. I was kind of freaking out. I told her I was pg and how I was feeling. She said it was normal and probably my blood pressure was really low. She took my blood pressure, and it was low. Anyway, after I told the nurse, I felt like I had to tell my principal. I don't want anybody else at work to know yet though. School ends in 5 weeks, and if I can hide it until then I'd be happy. After the kids go home for the summer I will tell people there. Nobody at work has been asking yet, but I've been wearing lose clothes!

Good luck if you do tell your son! How old is he? I'll bet he will be excited :)

I try to stay positive too :) This weekend I came home to my parent's house to see them and some friends. It will really take my mind off things. Hope you have a great weekend too!

Hi
Yes, this is my first pregancy. Thank you for your prayers.
I'm pretty sure I just miscarried an hour ago....hoping it's just the one that was not viable. Regardless, I'm very confused and emotional. I won't know til next Friday if the other is ok? Fingers crossed. I'm still peeing every hour, my breasts still "pang" several times a day and I'm very hungry. I read up on Vanishing twin syndrome, and it's quite possible to miscarry one and have the other develop normally. Hoping this is the case.

907 - Friday, 16 May
Wow that's awesome! I love seeing them, it's such a cool thing. I've been feeling great, just a little more tired and of course my chest is killing me! I think they say it goes down after the 1st trimester. Plus the Dr. told me to only gain 1 lb from here on out a week. Uh oh, time to pack up the ice cream!

debora - Friday, 16 May
Great to hear you had a great Mother's Day. Overall, I am fine. Simply tired. Loads of errand running this week.

Well...my husband is a bit of a character. So, I hope I am not too sensitive that day he come.

so, what's types of things did the ultra sound produce? It sounds like you are progressing right along.

Oh, I feel my baby moving already. Not gas...not bloating...actual tickle feel.

Very excited.

Smiles,

Debora :-)

mariettap - Friday, 16 May
Oh wow, you had a big day at the doc's! I'm so glad that you're doing well. I'm definitely going to wait a few more weeks to share with my DD. So many times I have wanted to say something, but I am so cautious now. I'm feeling mostly quite well, thank goodness. I updated my profile and included a blog today with my latest ups and downs. I won't re-write it here, but you can visit and see what's new. I'm feeling a little better about things as the weeks go by. This is the farthest I have come in 7 years now. A big step forward...

mariettap - Friday, 16 May
Hi! Are you around? I hope you're feeling well.
