So I am kinda at that awkward stage where I have more energy, but I also don't. I feel like I am feeling less nauseous, but I am actually worse. Doesn't make sense? Yeah...to me either. I am on a modified bed rest due to a hemorrhage, have been since around 7 weeks. Now that I have more energy I am tired of doing nothing all day and then I overdo it and feel even worse. My morning sickness at first was just morning and evening, then it became all day sickness, and now it is back to morning and evening. Though the moments I feel sick are worse than any of the worse morning sickness I have had this whole time. So if you see me during afternoon hours I might be looking pretty good (and most likely medicated because even when I am feeling good I am still nauseous to some extent). If you see me in the morning or after 7pm...forget it, I might be smiling and conversing, but inside I am thinking about hurling all over. To me, it is just a good sign that things are going well. I have also been having a bit more cramping and some more back pain, but it comes and goes so I think it isn't anything to worry about. I plan on getting checked for a UTI tomorrow just to make sure some of the pains aren't just normal round ligament pains.
We listened to the heartbeat this week on our home fetal Doppler. It is a wonderful and comforting sound after two miscarriages! We recently recorded the sound so we can have it with us no matter the outcome of this pregnancy.
Most people are happy when they reach 12 weeks because it means you have a lower chance of miscarriage, but for me it is the opposite. At 12 weeks I stop my hormone therapy that has been my crutch the whole time. Some people lose their babies shortly after going off the progesterone and of course that is a concern to me. Keep me especially in your prayers these next couple weeks that the placenta will be working correctly to support the baby so that going off the hormones won't hurt the baby. All positive thoughts and prayers are very appreciated. I am so grateful for all my friends.
