So I am new here. I was looking at this site often to see how my baby is changing. I am 9 weeks 7 days based on my last menstrual period. I have been on a roller coaster ride. My husband and I have been trying to concieve. He came home in June from Afghanistan. I think I had a miscarriage in July but the doctors will not count it since it was not confirmed. So in August when we went to see my OB/GYN he was surprised that I was not pregnant yet. He sent my husband for a sperm count and I had to have a Hysterosalpingogram. Basically they went in while I was under a xray machine and inserted die into my uterus to see if there was any blockage. There wasn't, which was a good thing. Well I ovulated 2/3 days after my HSG(Aug. 31 and Sep 1). Aparently it cleaned me out because bam I was pregnant. On September 12 I had this feeling that I was pregnant. I took a test but it was way to early so it said Not Pregnant. My husband left the day after for school in South Carolina. On September 17, five days before my period was due to start I took another test. It said PREGNANT! The next two weeks went smoothly. I was working out and feeling great. I had nausea, sore breasts, headaches, and was tired but I felt good. I started to have cramping in my right side. On October 2 because of the cramping they wanted to do an ultrasound to see if it was a tubal. So I went that afternoon. They could see the yolk sac but no fetal pole or heart beat. That scared me a little bit but at least it was not a tubal. So the doctor set up a repeat ultra sound for two weeks to check for the heart beat. Than on October 8 I went to the ER for bleeding. After spending 4 hours nd having no peace of mind I was discharged and told to get an ultrasound the nest day. I was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage. So at 8am with only 3 hours of sleep I called the doc to get an ultrasound apt. They would not just send me for an ultrasound. They wanted to see my in the office first. So I waited until 1pm for my apt. I show up and the doc was gonefor an emergancy surgery. Just great! I was so angery and scared and confused. The nurse sent me for an ultrasound because she saw in my paper work I did not have a miscarriage I only had a threatened miscarriage. DUH! So I drove to get my ultrasound drinking as much as I could as fast as I could. They took me right in, thank god! I was so scared to look at the screen. When they were doing the transvaginal I finnaly asked, "Is there a heart beat?". She said yes can't you see it and then turned the volume up. I was so thankfull. There also was a subchohornic hemorage as well. That was why I had bleed. Now I am just a nervous reck until the next ultrasound.

Baby Gender Predictor

Wednesday, 31 Oct

OK, so I am a nervous reck today. It has been three weeks since the bleeding. All of my pregnancy symptoms are gone though. I had read mixed things about this. Some say it can be a missed miscarriage and others say it is normal. I can't go to the doctors until tomorrow. I am praying for my baby and that everything is fine.

So I forgot to update my page yesterday. I went to the doctors in the early morning. I was so nervous. All my symptoms are gone. I told the nurse and she said well I don't know so lets see if we can hear a heart beat. I laid so still, not to interfear with the doppler. All of a suddden I heard a little pitter patter. My husbands head whipped around with this big smile on. I had a tear in my eye. The heart beat was in the 160's. I was so relieved. The doctor came in and explained that since I am now in week 10 and still have a heart beat that the chances of miscarriage are down from 50% to 5%. That was also a relief. She said I might just be lucky and the symptoms wont come back but maybe they could. She said most peoples get a lot better after the 12th week or in the second trimester. I am just so relieved. I feel like a huge fear was lifted off my shoulders. I love to hear that little pitter patter it makes everything better. Thank you all for your support.

Everything has been going smooth. I am not worrieing as much. In fac this past week has gone by so quickly. I got my intelligender in the mail a couple days ago. I can do it tomorrow. Well I will let you all know what my result is when I do the test.

Friday, 9 Nov

So I took the intelligender this morning and it said a boy! I have thought it was a boy. I don't know if it is right or not but I am hoping so. Either way though I just want the baby to be healthy.

So I am getting anxious to hear my little peanuts heart beat again. I have not rented a doppler because we are leaving in about a month for Germany. I haven't heard it in two weeks. I also see all these ultrasound pics and hear everyone talk about them I want another one. I want to see my baby moving around. I am just anxious. We are telling all of our family on Thanksgiving so that is probably why I am getting so anxious. I go to the doc next Monday for my 12 week although I will be almost 13 weeks. I am hoping he will so an ultrasound.

I had my 12 week apt. I am 12 weeks 5 days today. I heard the heartbeat again. It was in the 130's. I confessed that I had been having sex even though I was told not to. He said everything should be fine. I am at a very low risk for miscarriage now. I am able to go back to the gym. I got the flu shot, just to make sure. When I go for my 16 week apt on December 12th I will get to have an ultrasound. I wanted one so bad today. I even thought maybe they wont hear the heartbeat so they will do one. Nope it was nice and steady. Oh well. Tomorrow we are driving to NJ to ship our vehicle overseas. Then we will spend the holidays with family. I am excited to tell everyone. My Birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year. We will be in MD and eat at all of our families houses. I am going to wear my shirt and then tell them all. We told my daughter the last Friday. She kind of thought it was a joke. I think it is because my stomach is not very big yet and children associate pregnancy with a big stomach. So we will see how everything goes this week.

Friday, 23 Nov

So I told everyone yesterday. WE wanted to wait because of some spoting early in pregnancy. Since I was 13 weeks and was going to be home with all my family I wanted to tell everyone. First we told my Mom's side of the family. My grandfather's reaction was the best. Then we told my Dad's side of the family. Silly me my Dad wasn't even in the room when I told. Then we went to my husbands side of the family. I think my sister-in-law's reaction was the best because she knew how hard we were trying. Well I hope everyone had a good Turkey Day.

OK so I have been super busy. Getting ready to move and with Christmas and my daughters birthday. Well today we had a party for my daughter and were running all day long. I had two sodas at the party. When I came home and sat down, I felt like my stomach was a punching bag. I felt the baby for sure. It was so great. I have thought I was feeling movement for a few weeks but this was a kick or punch. It lasted about 15 seconds and only I could feel it on the inside. With my daughter I didn't feel movement until like the 23rd week. I was young though and it was my first so I guess that is the difference. Also I have been having the worst back pain ever. I can not get comfortable. I go to the doc on Wednesday for my 16 week. I am going to tell him. Also since we are moving he is going to do an ultrasound. Wish me luck I am hoping he will see the gender.

Thursday, 20 Dec

OK so we have been moving. I haven't had any internet access. I went to the doctor last Wednesday for my 16 week apt. He said everything looked great and gave me a referal for an ultrasound. He said they should be able to tell the gender. So I begged for an apt because we were moving and I went last Thursday for my ultrasound. The tech looked for an hour and 15 min and the baby was so active that he couldn't see. He said to try again in three or four weeks. The good news is the subchorionic hemmorage is gone! There is also no placenta preveara which is always a concern with hemmorageing. So I guess I have to wait tiull I get to Germany to find out what I am having. I am sad:( I wanted to be able to tell my family before we move. I am also sad because others who are less far along than me are finding out. Oh well as long as the baby is healthy. I just wish I could shop for pink or blue.
