Hi, Bee & Coda! Thanks! Bee, you must be so excited - I bet the girls are going crazy waiting. Coda - That is so cute that they had to "chase" the baby! She is going to keep you on your toes when she starts walking one day! ha, ha! I had a tlittle bit of that blackish stuff again today, so I saved it in a plastic bag (gross, I know) and plan on dropping by the doc's office tomorrow to show them. I also have had this annoying pain, but it is not in my belly. It is right below my rib cage to the left slightly - it feels like after you do a hundred push ups and the next day your abdominal muscles hurt. I had it yesterday whle we were food shopping, and when the cart got heavy I just made dh push it (foruntately he was there) and after dinner i laid down and it eventually just lessened and went away. LASt night I felt it again when I woke up to go to the bathroom (had tons of pressure down there which freaked me out but it turned out just HAD TO GO really bad - bowel movement - and I felt fine afterward. But it has come much milder on and off again today. It feels like a muscle strecthing - have either of you had anything like this at 10-11 weeks? I keep telling myself that it is just my uterus stretching, and maybe my stomach mucscles getting pushed farther out. I have also had a a very mild twinge on my lower left side nearer to my hip which I attribute to gass or uterus strectching as it, too, isn't "deep within" and often is accompanied by some stomach rumbling. Threw up yesterday so that is a good sign, and today was feeling a bit naseuos, though not too bad. Haven't eaten much, so I really need to go make some lunch. Anyway, just looking for someone to say - eh, don't worry - it is just your uterus stretching. Ooh, yeah, that one on my side is definietly gas - i can feel it now. But that one up top - defintiely fels like a muscle pulling or stretching. Anyway, I don't like that black stuff even if it is teeny and just pinpoints. My other thought on that is that maybe I nicked myself when I put the applicator for the progesterone up there - a couple of times it felt a wee bit sharp when I touched the end where the tab had been ripped off. Okay! enough obsessing - off to eat! And yeah, COda - even though I have bouts of naseua and no appetite, when I feel better I often want to just shovel the food in. Ha, ha! But not always. Besides, I can't eat fast anymore. It took me 40 minutes one night to eat a bowl of pasta because I kept resting between bites. ha, ha!
