Can I be included too? I am 7 wks 1 day. Ekay- CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for you.


Beth - February 4th, 2005 1:56 PM

Ekay. . .CONGRATS, see I knew everything would be fine, I am sorry they keep putting you back, but it does fix the reason why the heartbeat was so slow. . .PLEASE try and relax A LITTLE MORE now!! :0)
And Citruoille, CONGRATS on your pregnancy!!

Congrats Ekay, I knew everything would be okay...see, just relax!!! So we all got what we wanted this week (confirmation that everything is ok.) I'm so relieved, for all of us. I want to say Congrats and welcome to citroulle and Valerie.... I thought this would be a good way to always remember what we went through to get our little ones here....Beth, You are further along than all of us...Wow, How are you doing with the symptoms? I know you said you don't really have any. My doc says that at 10weeks the hormones peak, and you will have the worst symptoms at that time, then it gets better. Ekay, how are you feeling?



Beth - February 4th, 2005 3:00 PM

Well Lucky, I am still good, no symptoms. ..well I THINK I am starting to get cravings, but I am not sure since this is my first and its just like a specific place to eat or something. And my emotions, haa haa, I could cry for anything.


Lucky1 - February 4th, 2005 3:41 PM

Tell me about it, I am soo emotional, but I am getting nausia more and more, I don't know how long I can keep from puking....And I can smell EVERYTHING!! (lol)


Beth - February 4th, 2005 4:01 PM

I am lucky not to have that. . .nothing really bothers me. In the first early weeks when someone mentioned certain foods I would just say nope don't want it, that sounds grose. But the foods were always different never the same. Haa haa. I hada friend who could not evn walk by a candle store when she was pregnant her face would go green.


ekay - February 4th, 2005 5:04 PM

Thank you guys so much for putting up with my whining for the past, what 3 or four weeks. (I have had many posts on here) I am so happy. It's like deep down I knew everything was gonna be ok, but I didn't want to get too optimistic just in case. Congrats and welcome to citrouille and valerie. Geez, Beth, you kinda got screwed out of like two weeks of preparation time didn't you? Well, now you're in the 'lead' . Cit. and Valerie-when are your first appts.? As far as my symptoms go-stuff I used to eat everyday (like Jason's Deli) makes me sick to even think about. My breasts are just now starting to get veiny and they are a LITTLE tender to the touch. Other than that I just can't sleep for the life of me. I have to keep my light ON just to fall asleep. It's as if I am trying to trick my body, but it's the only way I can fall asleep before 1 in the a.m. Next appt is on the 23rd of Feb so I will be about 10 weeks. I can't wait to get in maternity clothes. I hate that inbetween where you don't really fit in much and you look kinda pudgy but kinda pregnant. I just look pudgy right now. :) Sorry if I rambled, I am on cloud #9 right now.

I just had my first US yesterday. Sadly it didn;t go as planned. Our little heart beat is very slow....88. However I also thought I was 8wk3d, and the US showed 6wk2d....can this be possible. Well I guess it can. Ekay....congrats on your recent US....I have been reading about it. Did you have a similar situation....or was I mistaken? Any helpful words are welcome....as I am very scared. I had a miscarriage in Oct.


ekay - February 4th, 2005 5:25 PM

Damn, there are some girls under 'Signs of Pregnancy' that are starting to chap my hide. Look under the post "Anyone with a faint pink line is PREGNANT!!!!" They told me I was fucked up. (excuse the language). I was just trying to make my point. Frustrating : {


Beth - February 4th, 2005 5:29 PM

HAA HAA, Ekay I read that board every so often when I am bored here at work and man that bored moves so quick, and some of them get on my nerves too!


Stefani - February 4th, 2005 5:33 PM

I am sorry people get on your nerves.....however I have a real concern, and was hoping SOMEONE could give me some helpful advice. My US was not good as far as my doc is concerned....heart beat was at 88...
has anyone had a success story. Has the heart beat gotten better???


ekay - February 4th, 2005 5:35 PM

How far along are you Stefani?


stacey - February 4th, 2005 5:40 PM

ekay, congrats, really glad things worked out for you (sorry that I scared you with my outcome)

As far as not sleeping, my friend went through the same thing until she tried Breathe Right strips...she swears by them and I used them for the brief time I was pregnant. Hope it helps you!


Stefani - February 4th, 2005 5:44 PM

Ekay~ I am 6 wk 3d....at my appt yesterday I thought I was 8wk...from the first day of my last mp. That crap confuses me. Everything seemed fine until our US yesterday. The heartbeat was at 88. Not great from what I hear. Any thoughts??


ekay - February 4th, 2005 5:56 PM

Thanks a bundle stacey. If this is the stacey from the other post, I am really really sorry I snapped at you a while back. I might have to try those strips, anything will help-I feel like the walking dead. And Stefani, try, try to relax. I am a firm believer that we do not always drop eggs when we think we do. I saw one study where some women drop eggs up to 3 times a month! I know how you feel, but try to stay positive (I'm a hypocrite, I know). Someone on this thread told me my baby needs all the positive energy it can get right now. I am very sorry to hear about your previous loss, but I will pray that this baby will be in your arms soon enough. I really don't think anyone that hasn't been pregnant (male or female) has any clue the internal strife that a lot of women endure early in pregnancy. From the day most of us find out we are pg, the worrying begins. It really is a trying test of the body and mind. I think it is just amazing what we go through and think we should all give ourselves a big pat on the back. :) But back on track, Stefani, try and stay positive. For the next 6 days or whatever until your u/s feel free to unleash any feelings or worries you may be having on us. We are here to listen. These gals on this thread, every single one of them, are completely awesome and are here to help. :)


Stefani - February 4th, 2005 6:05 PM

Ekay~ Thank you! You and Stacey have been great. So tell me...did your baby have a slow heart beat, and then it got better? How far along are you now. Yes....you are right I could have ovulated at a different time....especially since I had a miscarriage. Things could be out of wack. I am trying my best to look at this as a bump in the road....and praying our baby's little heart beat is much better next week. ANY words of wisdom are appreciated!!!!!!! Pregnancy is a nerve racking biz. I was just hoping very much that this pregnancy would be smooth sailing after our miscarriage....but no such luck. Oh well....I will just PRAY PRAY PRAY! I have a very long week ahead of me. UGH!
