@Blairbear28wishing you all the best for this rainbow baby.. What's an sma gene? We are waiting on genetic testing at 12 weeks too... (both carriers for pompe)
Anyway- this weekend has been all about mild- moderate sporadic cramps and just a queasy feeling that comes and goes. Feeling bloaty and the boobs are still very swollen. Also have this weird cough that comes on at night with a lumpy throat feeling. It's been going on for almost a week as I've tried many natural remedies, so I think I'll go back to the doc this week.
I can't say I feel good.. but I don't feel terrible. Just getting by day by day and one more week till our first scan and appt.
SMA is Spinal Muscular Atrophy. It is always a fatal condition though some can live to be 2 years old or so. We will have to terminate if it is so this time.
Nothing major. Just like last time, my first pregnancy symptom was a total lack of any of my typical PMS symptoms. Last time I sailed through my first trimester and the only really noticeable symptom was severe motion sickness. FX I get a repeat experience.
All my symptoms seemed to have eased up today, to the point where it has freaked me out and i had to google it and it seems that it's common around this time frame.
But so far, extreme fatigue coupled with horrible horrible insomnia that already started the second week in the two week wait. I wake up in the middle of the night and cant go back to sleep, a problem i have never had before. Really fun when you have to be at work already fatigued. I hope this lets up soon as my body gets used to it.
Constantly hungry, it finally has subsided a bit today, or at least have given me a break this day, but at this rate, god know how much weight I will gain. Its a horrible feeling to have just eaten and still want to eat some more not to long thereafter, and you cant really help yourself.
Very slight nausea here and there to the point where i cant tell if it is from the pregnancy or more related to something else such as that i ate something or from not having eaten anything.
Sore/enlarged/painful boobs with some darkening of the areolas already. However, i feel like the tightness/swelling have subsidized a bit today.
I had mild cramping in my uterus during the two week wait, than that subsided and i felt this mild but at the same time semi sharp pain (so hard to describe) on and off at the center of of my uterus (a small dot like area where i presume my embryo has buried itself into and is making its home).This has come and gone up until now. Today i don't feel anything, which of course has me worried but instead i have a bit of cramping, which i have not had since the two week wait, which now also has me worried. Worry could almost be its own symptom
Bloating - holy cow, the amount of bloat has been unbelievable. It feels like it has subsided a bit today.
Constipation, also finally subsiding, maybe due to more fiber intake, but was terrible the first 3-4 weeks for me.
Warm, i am actually warm, which is pretty amazing and odd, i am generally very cold. My hands and feel feel hot. my feet feel tingly from the expansion of the blood vessels.
My first beta was 489 18 days past ovulation, my second 3 days later was 2,227. My first ultrasound was at 5 weeks 2 days and showed a gestational sac, a yolk sac and a tiny embryo - everything on target. I am pregnant via IVF after 10 years of trying!!! This may be our only chance for a child, so i a super worried about everything.
Maybe feeling a little bit more tired than tired than usual (but I work 12 hour night shifts, so I'm always a little tired), boobs are a little fuller and sore, and some on and off cramping - but that's it. I'm actually dying for a little bit of nausea, because I want to "feel" pregnant. I still don't believe this is real!
