This pregnancy has already been a rollercoaster of emotions. Last week I had blood work done and the beta HCG got me worried. First draw at 27000 was very promising, second came in at 35000. I was convinced it was over as it didn't double (turns out at such a high starting number, it doesn't double every 48hrs) Went for an ultrasound yesterday to confirm viability and was SHOCKED that there was a healthy heartbeat of 165. Cried tears of joy on the ultrasound table, was grateful for a kind and understanding tech.

@Clementine12: #1 was born on her due date (!) and #2 was 3 days late. I haven't had my first appt with my OB yet so not sure if she'll leave the due date of my lmp (Sept 27th) or want to adjust. My last period in Dec was the only one I had following a loss in November so its a bit unclear.

Thank goodness for those compassionate ultrasound techs, there are many who are the opposite so I really appreciate the good ones!

Do you think your little one understood when you shared?

@Clementine12: Aww... such a cute age. My DS is 2.5years, will wait awhile as my DD is 9 and want to be sure the pg is sticking around before sharing with her.

@annem1990: hello! Congrats! How are you feeling?

@annem1990: Same on the appetite. I've had pretty strong aversions this time around. Baking is my hobby and I want nothing to do with sweets or baked goods right now. Too bad right now otherwise I'd be baking up a Valentine's storm!

@Clementine12: It does sound far but I drive quite a bit so I don't think it would phase me. Maybe once you do a bit more research you may have a couple options for midwife that you can weigh the pros and cons?

And yay for a VBAC! I tried for a VBAC with baby #2 but when the time came it just wasn't in the cards and the doc advised against it. I haven't decided if I'll try for one this time around or just be resolved in the fact that its likely not going to happen lol.

@Clementine12: Great attitude, and thats exactly how I felt going into my VBAC. At peace either way

@Clementine12: me too, hopefully more mamas will join soon!

I’ve been super sick, struggling to make it thorough the days. Trying to remain grateful to have a growing fetus! No news on the edd front, but do have first ob appt booked for Tuesday. Looking forward to that. Have you had any more thoughts about choosing a midwife or the distance concerns?

@Clementine12: gah. I hate it too. Hopefully it’s a bit reassuring that it was same with your first. It also seems like there’s never enough reassurance in the first few months.... are you 6 weeks now?
When will you meet with the midwife?

@Clementine12: omg that sounds horrible- the worry!

@Autumnmama79: Oh man yes a nightmare! Fingers crossed this baby gives you a break.

I made my appt with the midwife and it turns out that one midwife in the pair delivers at the hospital I had my DD at (much closer) so... I fell a bit silly for putting DH through all those conversations and all that waffling.

First appt is set for 3/13.

@Adira:
hello everyone! I'm new here.
