Pregnancy Info HOME

Thanks Daniella! I took a 3rd test on Monday and it was 851! The nurse told me that the numbers look good and they are rising beautifully. It was such a relief to hear that. This will be my first true pregnancy. I had a miscarriage in Sept of this year. I tested positive on the Sat and started bleeding on Sun and bleed throughout the week. So far for this pregnancy my cramps have decreased but still gasy ^-^. I am having trouble drinking milk....it makes me feel very bloated and somewhat nausea so I am going to try cheese to make sure I get enough calcium. I'm not taking anything besides Nature Made Prenatal Vitamins that I bought over the counter. My first Prenatal appt is 1/13 with the prenatal clerk. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should really eat more of and not of? I've been reading alot online and trying to make sure I do everything posible to get all the nutrients my baby needs. Based on my first day of my last period 11/16, I am about 5-6 weeks pregnant. By the time I go to my appt 1/13, will they be able to see anything with the ultrasound? I am so happy and nervous at the same time!

Patti - usually ur HCG levels will double about every 48 hours or so. I tested positive last week and called the nurse immediately because I was having cramps and because I had a previous miscarriage. She aske d me to take the blood test 3 times, once on Thurs, then Sat and then on Mon. Your levels shoudl double up each time, at least that is what I was told and what my numbers also shows. Good Luck!!!
