QOTW: A professional TV camera crew has done a 5 minute wordless montage of your life, showing all of your successes and trials, and you're pleased with the results. They want you to choose a theme song for the sound track. What song would you pick?

Not much new here... 7W1D , still no symptoms but my ultrasound is on Thursday so praying for a heartbeat! My friend says I'm having a boy because the lack of symptoms ha ha. With my DD I was already sick feeling so maybe she is right?

QOTW: I think I'd pick "Two Of Us" by the Beetles. I've always loved that song.

8w5d here. I had my consult/us with MFM. Got to see the peanut and I was measuring right on track with due date of 11/1. A beautiful HB of 164. I feel I can breath a lot more now and let the PGAL brain calm down and actually enjoy the pregnancy. After getting all my details she said on paper, you look really bad, but it is not as bad as it seems. And she addressed each issue.

AMA: Just discussed my testing options. I will have the MaterniT21 test at my 12 week appointment on 4/21.

Cardiomyopathy: Considering I recovered within 6 months I am in the lower risk category. Will continue to be followed by Cardiology.

Diabetes: Since I have not been on meds and my A1C is great. She wants me to take the 1 HR GTT at 12-14 weeks and again in my 2nd trimester.

Clotting: Since I have a history of Pulmonary Embolisms she wants me to start on blood thinners and be on them for the duration of the pregnancy.

I see the MFM clinic again at 19 weeks when I have my Anatomy Scan. That has been Scheduled for June 11.

Other than that, this week has overall been good and I feel more like my normal self.

QOTW: Oh I don't know. I think I would do Hell on Heels by Pistol Annies. Just because that is one bad ass song.

ETA: To make it less dramatic. Left out a couple of words.

@rspalding001 how did the US go?

Teenie16 · March 2015

I'm 5w3d so I don't have a lot to contribute. I'm constantly thirsty now and starting to get some tummy issues but no morning sickness... *knock on wood* First ultrasound in 2 weeks...

@rspalding001 Sending good vibes! How did it go?

@sonpetitlapin That's a lot to take in but it seems that you have a good attitude about it.

QOTW: F**king Perfect by Pink. Because every girl should be taught that at a young age!

ETA- to answer QOTW

@sonpetitlapin @Teenie16 so it didn't go well. I'm measuring 6W1D with a very slow heartbeat. I expected to be 7W3D so that's worrisome. Also there were 2 yolk sacs but only 1 had an embryo. So must have started as twins but 1 didn't make it. I go back in a week to look again. However... I got betas done yesterday and they were super low, like in the 5,000's which is way low for where I'm supposed to be. I get another blood draw tomorrow but my gut is telling me it's over. Preparing for the loss now
