Another US

I had another US yesterday. I think things are progressing alright. I am measuring small still but I had a good amount of growth between the two appointments. At least it’s consistent. I am measuring 8w0d with a heartbeat of 178. I go back in next Wednesday. I am really getting used to these weekly appointments. My RE keeps telling me to call my OB to get scheduled but I am just not ready to yet. Maybe after my 9w appointment.

Symptoms: this week I am starting to have bouts of nausea. If I don’t eat then I am nauseous, if I eat too much than I am nauseous….etc…oh, and nothing spicy - It doesn’t sit very well. The bloating still continues so I am not sure how long I can keep wearing my normal jeans. Might have to start unbuttoning them soon.

Also, my boobs ache at night. I have resorted sleeping in a sports bra. Not very sexy but it works! I am also having very vivid dreams that are making me not sleep very well. I think this is caused by all the progesterone. Still only getting up once a night to pee…


I am praying that this is it but I am still so scared of another miscarriage. My first mc was a missed mc at 10 weeks. I just need to make it past that milestone so I can stop with all these crazy thoughts.

    So glad to see things are progressing for you. I have been following your blog recently and it seems like we have some things in common. Stop by and visit me some time. After my two miscarriages, I completely understand your fear and reluctance to relax at this point. Yay for the weekly RE appointments!!

    I'm glad your u/s went well- I can't wait for mine. Looks like we have the same symptoms, including the vivid dreams- wild huh?

    I'm glad things are progressing, and so glad you updated. I've been wondering how you've been. I hope you can find some calm while you wait for to get passed 10 weeks.
