Got tummy?
I just noticed that my little tummy's gotten a little bigger so I'm officially showing now. I can still fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes but they are a little tight so I'm probably going shopping this week. I hope that I'm not starting to show too soon. This is my first baby and I think it said in a pregnancy book that you'll start outgrowing your clothes toward the end of the month. So I'm 15 weeks and 1 day and the end of my month would be the 17th week so hopefully I'm doing good. I'm thin so that could be why too that I may be showing a little sooner.

February 1st Appointment
Today my husband, my mom and I went to the doctor's to hear the baby's heartbeat. Finally we got to hear it! We were all so excited because the doctor found the heartbeat right away and it was loud and strong. My husband's concerned though because I started out at 115 pounds then at almost 12 weeks I gained 5 pounds and now I've lost 2.5 pounds. I really haven't been all that hungry lately just tired. My doctor's not concerned about my weight loss but she said if I don't gain weight by the next appointment (4 weeks) then she'll be concerned and schedule an ultrasound to make sure the baby's growing properly. I'm suprised though that I lost weight because I was eating a lot of candy and my pants feel tighter. I thought for sure I gained another 5 pounds. I'm still throwing up every few days. So maybe that also has to do with my weight loss but I only throw up once and I'm done for the day. So after my appointment my hubby took me out for Chinese food. Also my doctor prescribed me Ambien so I can get a good nights sleep. I can only take it once and awhile. She wants me to stop taking my nausea medicine (vitamin b6 and unisom) to see if that helps me sleep. She said if I start to get nauseated again then to start taking the nausea medicine again. She also suggested warm milk which I hate milk! My hubby had to ask her if this warm milk should be whole milk since I drink 2% since it's less fattening. She said yes it should be whole milk because I need to gain weight and she doesn't seem to think I'm going to gain a lot of weight since I'm tiny.

January 12th appointment to listen to the heartbeat
So today my husband and I went to our appointment to listen to the baby's heartbeat. I found out I gained 5 pounds altogether and i'm only 11 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Man, I guess I'm going to have to buy those exercise videos for pregnancy and eat less or something. The problem is the past few weeks I've been so tired. I can fall asleep fine but I wake up about 2 hours later and unable to get back to sleep. Since I don't work I sleep all day because i'm not getting enough sleep at night. It's just horrible! Then I've been vomitting the past few weeks also. It comes and goes though but it does get irritating. I know welcome to the wonderful joys of pregnancy lol. I know in the end it will be all worth it though. Anyway, we couldn't hear the heartbeat. The doctor said she thought she heard it but then it faded away. She's not concerned and said we'll try again in 2 weeks. It could've been the way the baby was positioned that we couldn't hear it or too soon since i'm not 12 weeks or more. |

1st Month of Pregnancy and ob appointment
I just found out I was pregnant with a home pregnancy test on 11-28-05. I had an ob/gyn appointment on 12-1-05 that was originally only supposed to be for an annual exam. When I went to the doctor's I told them about my positive hpt and that I have a 3.7cm fibroid tumor in my uterus. So they did a urine pregnancy test on me which came out positive.
Then my ob/gyn said she wasn't concerned about the fibroid because awhile back I was on a progesterone based birth control pill and fibroids grow from estrogen. She said my fibroid might have even shrunk. She still did my annual exam and had 4 vials of blood drawn. My next appointment is with a nurse practitioner on 12-15-05.
During my first month of pregnancy, I've had some symptoms. The first major symptom of course was no period. The second symptom was that my breasts were sore like right before a period. Third symptom was light cramping like I was going to start a period which is normal. Fourth symptom was that my nipples were sore which was unusual for me. Fifth symptom is when I get cold I have white bumps all over my breasts which also was unusual for me. Sixth symptom is frequent urination. Also sometimes I get tired earlier than normal. So far those are all of the symptoms I've had. |
