8 weeks today!

So, 8 weeks today and not feeling too bad! Nights are definitely worse than the day time, although I do get very tired at about 3pm every day.... nearly to the point where I could fall asleep at my desk!!

Had a bit of a scare last week. Was bleeding Thursday night, Friday and Saturday. The blood was fairly dark and it was exactly like AF was starting. To make me worry more, when I woke on Friday I had no pg symptoms to speak of.

Went to the docs Friday morning - he referred me for a scan to check if the pregnancy had stopped. The couldn't fit me in until 4:50pm..... I was beside myself worrying!
I left the docs and went up to Symbion Imaging to see if they maybe had a waiting/cancellation list they could put me on. They'd just had a cancellation at 3:30pm but that was all they could do, so I took it! Had to sit in a work conference trying to concentrate all bloody day and just couldn't!!!
Eventually 3:30pm came and then I had to wait until 3:50pm before I got in! Thought my bladder was going to explode, seeing as they told me it needed to be full! Anyway, my ultrasonographer's name is Luke and he's just lovely. So kind and has one of the best bedside manners I've come across in any field of medicine. I explained to him what the problem was and he said he's just need to see ifthey could see signs of growth and/or a heartbeat. I laid there for only a few seconds when he asked, "Do you want the good news?" OF COURSE I wanted the good news!!! I just nodded and he said, "It's alive!" Well, I completely lost it!!!! Bawling like a baby and carrying on! I was so happy!! Pulled myself together then and he showed me the heartbeat at 137 BPM and growing exactly where it should - to the day. He showed me the placenta and how it was looking good, my ovaries looking good, kidneys etc so by the end of it I could hardly speak I was so relieved. He said plenty of women had bleeding and it wasn't too much for concern if it wasn't too much and especially if it was dark/browny blood. This was less to worry about.
He printed off a pic so I could show DP and it measure pretty much 11mm! So tiny!! I keep forgetting to take a pic of the ultrasound pic, but will do that tomorrow hopefully and post!
Anyway, the bleeding continued Saturday but slowly tapered off to nothing.
Today however I have had more so I'll jsut monitor it and lay low for a couple of days. I was due for AF yesterday so I'm hoping it's just breakthrough bleeding. Got some low grade cramping today too..... will try not to panic like I did last week!

Been eating brekky no problems each morning, in fact I'm worse if I don't have something! Been either having cheerios or weetbix with banana and enjoying every mouthful!! Mostly vegemite sangers for lunch each day which is not too bad. However, come tea time I've got next to no appetite still. Not for proper dinner food anyway! Last night all I felt like was grilled cheese and tomato on toast! The night before I made spag bol, but really only ate half a bowl of spag with the sauce "colouring" the past - no meat to speak of! Tonight DP has a conference thingy to go to, so I'm going to make myself a ham and pineappple pizza (still eating ham if it's cooked).
REALLY missing the gym, but am just too tired to go after work! Been too tired to even go walking!! Am hoping to get to Body Attack tonight and just do the low options. I'm hoping a bit of exercise and endorphins will pick me up! I can always stop if it gets too much... see how I go!

Well, this has been a longer post than I anticipated. Can't even remember what I'd written last time - perhaps I've repeated some stuff I wrote today?!?! Oh well....

See you next time! :)
