Thread: Steph's TTC Journey ~ After 2 miscarriages(Pg ment)

Still feeling okay. I have had some cramping, but it feels more like stretching and it's sore....kinda like I just did a 1,000 sit-ups. And my back kinda hurts...but my back always hurts in the 2ww whether I'm pg or not so I'm not worried. It's just that last time I was pg, my back hurt a lot and I thought it was associated with the m/c. But this time it doesn't hurt near as bad so I'm not worried. I am also very very tired and peeing much more. I always feel nauseous in the morning and then it comes and goes throughout the day. I took 2 more pg tests this AM(I know, I'm a geek! LOL) and they were still blazing positive. On the First Response one, the test line was waaaay darker than the control line!!!
But anyway, that's all for now.

Still feeling good...my back hurts less, so I'm happy about that. My lower stomach still feels...sore. I guess that's a good word to use. And I"m sooo bloated!!! BBs hurt, nauseous in the AM and very tired.

I took yet another test this AM...I know...GEEK again! LOL But today was the day I started bleeding last time so I'm kind of anal about it. I got up to pee at 6:30am and then took a test at 8 am and the test line showed up before the control line did so that's good and it was DARK..and I pee'd only a 1 1/2 hour before testing. I think that is a good sign.
The last m/c I had, it was exactly a week after I got my BFP. I went to my first prenatal appt and they had me take a urine test. It came out negative. I was sooooooo...shocked and couldn't believe it. I was devastated. They did another one just in case it was a defective test and it came out negative too. I told them I had only pee'd 2 hours before and they said that didn't matter. They were so NOT UNDERSTANDING. I started crying...it was horrible. So I guess that's why I"m so weird about testing and making sure it comes out positive still. So anyway, I guess that's all to report for now...just still waiting on my first u/s appt next Thursday!!!

Well, I took another test a few mintues ago, yes another one! LOL I took the pic at like 2-3 mintues after I did it...its even darker now. I had hardly any urine on it b/c I didn't have to pee as bad as I thought. It wasn't my FMU. It came up within 15-20 seconds and I doubt I got 5 seconds of pee on it! So yay, I'm still pg!




Look how much darker it is just at 7-8 minutes after taking it...






Gosh, I'm really obsessed with POAS'ing....!!! I guess though, that the way the last pregnancy ended, I'm just so scared to go to the doc and not be pg. In my previous post, I said how I went to the doc a week after I found out and they did a urine pg test and it came out negative, twice!! I was so heart-broken to find out like that. If I would have kept testing, that would have been avoided....spending money to go to the doc, driving there, taking a day off work...just to find out you're not pg anymore. So I guess that's why I keep testing every few days. I will quit testing probably after my u/s this thursday. Still feeling good...just tired and a little nauseous sometimes And gosh, I'm SOOOOO glad it's FRIDAY!!!!!

Three more positives over the weekend!! LOL Woohoo, I'm still preggers I just hope and pray this one sticks!!

I can't wait for my u/s this Thursday!!! I'm praying for a healthy baby with a healthy heartbeat!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention....my m/s has KICKED IN!!!! Oh my gosh...I feel as if I could puke any minute!!! You'd think if I ate something, I'd be okay....NO!! I feel like puking on an empty stomach, full stomach, half full stomach...LOL
It kinda stinks...but it's a good sign I am not complaining!!

Well, still pg LOL Just took another test a few mintues ago. I only did b/c my u/s is tomorrow and I want to make sure it's still coming out BFP. I'm sooooooo nervous, anxious, excited, terrified, etc for tomorrow. Part of me thinks everything will go well, just b/c my nausea has kicked in majorly and my tests are still dark, but the othe part of me wants to just think level-headed just in case it's not a good appt. I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment, ya know? I am praying and hoping for a good h/b tomorrow and a healthy looking bean!!!! Wish me luck!!!

Well, had my first u/s yesterday!!! WE HAVE A H/B!!!!!!!!! It was beating away at 152bpm!!! We even got to hear it. It was soooo exciting!!! It was measuring on target and looked great. I feel so much better. Praise the Lord!!!!

Oh, and I puked for my first time today! Fun, fun! LOL
I hate puking, but I know it means good things

I am so excited..my next u/s is a week from tomorrow! I hope and pray everything still looks good and that little bean has grown. Then on Aug 14, I have my first OB appt. Still nauseous real bad, still puking(just in the morning), really tired, and a little grumpy. Everything seems to be going good still. So excited!!

I totally forgot that I did this. Even though people can see my siggy now, I might as well tell you that we did have a baby that March. Everything went well with my pregnancy and Carson William was born on March 17, 2007 at 5:53pm via c-section.

Here is my birth story...

I went in at 7:15am on March 17th and was hooked up to the pitosin by 8am. The doctor also put some antibiotic in my IV in case I had to have a c-section. It would help with the incision getting infected. The nurse said I was having a few contractions on my own (I couldn’t feel them), I was 60% effaced and a fingertip dilated. My doctor came in within a half hour and wanted to put some balloon catheter in me – it was supposed to help with effacing and dilation. It hurt like H**L!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to scream when he was putting that in. He finally got that in and I started noticing the pitosin working. By noon, I was around 2cm and still 60% effaced. The contractions were quite painful by then. At 1pm, I decided to get the epidural – not bad at all! Just felt a prick when they numbed the area and didn’t feel a thing after that. By 2pm I was about 3-4 cm and they took the balloon thing out. They also broke my water. At 5pm, I hadn’t progressed at all since being 3-4 cm. My doctor told me that he would recommend a c-section. He said that since the baby still hadn’t dropped and I hadn’t made any progress in 3 hours, that he was afraid the labor would go on for a long time and that I may still end up with a c-section. They took me straight to the operating room and prepped me. By 5:30pm they were starting on getting him out. At 5:53pm, Carson William was born. I could hear him crying and then I started crying. It was the most wonderful feeling to hear him cry. I didn’t get to see him for about 5 minutes – they took him to check him out. Apgar scores were 9 and 9. I finally got to see him and starting crying even more. He was the most precious little thing I had ever seen. I didn’t feel the greatest afterward. I got sick while they were prepping me and then twice after he was born. And I was shaking a lot after too. Walking around was a challenge and we didn’t sleep at all that night. Everything I went through was worth it though - he is the most precious little boy. God has defiantly blessed us!!
