Introduction (I'm a little superstitious....)

tl3547 · June 2011

Hello-

I am finally introducing myself at 11w2d. My EDD is 1/17. I waited because I've had 2 miscarriges, the first was a blighted ovum last summer, and the second was at 10.5 weeks last november after seeing a heartbeat and thinking that everything would be fine. We found out later that it was a triploid pregnancy. It took forever (about 5 months) to start having periods again so we had to wait a while to start trying, but got lucky pretty quickly once we started. So, I wanted to wait until after 10.5 weeks to introduce myself.

I'm a resident, and work crazy hours, and I'm not sure how all of this will work as the pregnancy progresses, but I guess others have done it before me and I will too. So far, I've been sick as stink and losing weight, despite trying zofran and the little meals and all that mumbo-jumbo. I'm really really hoping that all gets better soon. I have found that it gets worse when I work nights and throw my body clock off. I'm still working on strategies for that. Despite all the being sick, I still have a belly that I'm trying to suck in at work until I "go public" after my NT scan next week (My OB suggested waiting until after the scan to tell people. I think that is smart given my history).

My husband and I are super excited for this and saw a HB on an US last week again, and I have my NT scan next Friday, which I'm hoping will be reassuring and I can just grin from there on out.

That's about it. I've appreciated all the lurking you've let me do so far and I look forward to contributing to the board.
