Ugh, just found out that I tested positive as a carrier for this random metabolic disorder...now we have to get DH tested, but we don't actually know if it's something they can test the fetus for. If they can't, I don't know that there's a point in him getting tested, since it wouldn't really give us any additional information...It's very rare, about 1 in 50,000-100,000 people worldwide have it or something like that. Of course I had to be a carrier!

@NovBaby1112: if he tests negative, then there's no chance baby could have it. If he is positive, there is a 25% chance. I was tested for a lot of stuff with L, but every year they come out with new stuff. I guess this is a new test?

Hi mamas, sorry I've been MIA around here, I've been lurking but can't work up the energy to post on my phone. I'm 9w today, feeling tired but overall not bad. Had first OB appt last week but it was just an intake and loads of bloodwork. I have another OB appt scheduled for April 9 when we will hopefully hear the heartbeat, and then NT scan scheduled for April 16. Looking forward to getting past those appointments and being able to be out at work and tell the rest of our family and friends.

@babycanuck: Have you tried Diclegis? How about Diclegis AND zofran? The combo is seriously the only thing that keeps me feeling semi normal. I had/have terrible MS and had to go to the hospital. See if you can get a combo of both drugs! Worked for me. Good luck!

I started a bump photo thread!

@babybronco: I'm on diclectin but the problem is I can't even keep that down, let alone anything else I see the doc in a week so hopefully she has some ideas. Today is the first day in a while I haven't puked in almost 24 hours...

@hilsy85: I hope your DH's results come back negative to give you some piece of mind!

@shellio: I just got my results at my next Ob apt but I wasn't learning the gender so there was nothing really pressing to report.

@NovBaby1112: @Charm54: @hilsy85: Thanks! I'm actually much more anxious about the trisomy screenings than the gender. Glad to hear they call, that's probably faster than waiting for snail mail! I'm hoping to sit on the gender results for a while but don't think DH will stand for it

DH and I had to mail in our saliva to counsyl to find out what we are carriers for. I also went for bloodwork yesterday so I would guess that would be gone over at NT scan since they wanted it before it.

Does anyone else find their sore boobs has decreased? At the beginning of mine they were quite sore... I think maybe once I stopped the endometrin it may have decreased and I didn't notice til now because they are just kind of tender to touch now... I am guessing these kinds of symptoms probably fluctuate? I'm at 11w mark today. Just curious if others had this happen??

Stupid stupid question for some of you....have any of you used pedialyte freezer pops for yourself, not for kids? I'm trying to figure out how to get my electrolytes back and popsicles are basically the only thing I can handle right now.

@babycanuck: I haven't, but that sounds like a good idea!

@natalie403: mine aren't really sore at all anymore. They are bigger, but the soreness has faded.

@babycanuck: I haven't used them before, but I bet it's a great way to stay hydrated!

@natalie403: I think so! I definitely feel different now than I did a few weeks ago. I've heard they call the second tri the "golden trimester." I hope that's true!

@babycanuck: OH you poor thing. I've now gone a week without puking. But today I was about 45 minutes late to take my pills and my stomach decided to rumble in an unfortunate way. Luckily I caught it in time.

Last night I ate a semi-normal dinner and it was wonderful. I really hope you get some relief. Getting fluids via iv (including potassium) really helped me, it allowed me to slowly start to eat again. (Now I can't stop eating chili cheese fritos). Fingers crossed for you!

Oh and I mix pedialite in with juice! You can't taste it.

@babycanuck: My ob suggested Gatorade Popsicles. I really feel for you, I was so sick when I was pregnant with my daughter. It really wears on you!

You ladies are hard to keep up with! I've been so exhausted- balling with my daughter and crashing at 7:30/8. I can't wait for the second trimester. I'm not as sick as I was with my daughter, but still nauseous for most of the day and throwing up at least once a day. My 19 month old likes to stand outside the bathroom making retching noises while I throw up, so that's fun....it sounds like a lot of you are starting to feel better. I hope to join you soon!

I can't believe how big I look already. I'm only like 10.5 weeks but definitely have a bump.

@babycanuck: No one gave you zofran? oh honey I'm sorry. One warning, up your fiber! It constipates me to all heck. The ER told me to take a dose of miralax a day to help with the constipation. I've taken half a dose (a full dose hurts) every day all week... still nothing.

My MIL thinks i have a bump. I think it is just crackers and constipation! (10w2d).

I hope you feel better soon! Which zofran did they give you? I'm on 4mg of the dissolvable every 8 hrs, miracle drug!

So although I haven't had my 12 week scan to make sure everything is okay, I reached out to a newborn photographer to book her. I want to make sure I can get her because I LOVE her stuff.

@natalie403: I have had a secret pinterest board for well over a year and an unpublished babylist list for about 6 months now...

That's so awesome about the doppler. Was it expensive? I've been tempted to buy one but i'm worry i'll stress myself out if i don't hear anything

@natalie403: what brand did you get?? I want to check it out

@babycanuck: I googled quick and I believe it looks like the "Sonoline B Ultrasound Fetal Doppler." She said it was around $35 I thought but that was almost 2 years ago, looks like it around $45 now. I think it's worth the price to have that little extra peace of mind for me!!!
