Good morning! Got some energy today
It's FRIDAY!
Ravenously hungry as soon as I wake up (I had to eat strawberries while I was driving to work); crazy dizzy, heart palpitations and confused sometimes. I thought this was baby brain yesterday, but I read another mama say she had the same problem and it was because the baby was sitting on the vena cava? I think I'm too early for that (11w5d), but I'm going to ask my dr next week. The confusion is kind of scary and it's not making managerial decisions very easy
Otherwise over the moon to have gotten this far. After struggling with IF and being a PGAL, it was always my main goal to just BE pregnant. Now that this is "real" it's like I have to transition to knowing I will actually have a child. Of my very own. Not watching from the sidelines any more.
Anyway, how are you today? I hope you have a wonderful Friday & weekend ![]()

Started spitting yesterday and has been on and off since then. Of course I am thinking the worst, as you do. Every little twinge in my stomach makes me second guess a cramp or not. Some dizziness and fuzzy feeling in my ears as well, like I am about to faint. Didn't sleep well last night, could the spotting be from that?
11 weeks and 1 day. HOLY CRAP I HEARD THE HEARTBEAT YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME! My midwife told me that at this point miscarriage risk has dropped dramatically. She said something....that was supposed to comforting but threw me off at first. "If you think about it about half of pregnancies end in miscarriage...so since you've already had one your ratio is good." It helped after I saw what she was getting at.
Heartbeat makes it more real. I'm legitimately going to have a baby. It's crazy. I feel less anxious...which is such a relief. But, now I'm more anxious about becoming a mom!
I had a dream last night that I was carrying around a very chunky 10 month old boy in footie pajamas. It was a very precious dream and I wish I could have slept more just to spend more time with the little chunk.
@KaraEpp16 No more spotting! It's been over 2 weeks now *knock on wood* and I believe it's really over. Not that I don't check every time haha, but I'm breathing easy now
Yay for hearing the heartbeat!!! My goodness that is such an awesome feeling
Congrats!
I dreamed about a little chucky girl a few nights ago

I am going to have a baby!!! 11w1d, 28-29 weeks to go ladies before we hold our little angels, look into their dreamy just born eyes, kiss their fresh little fragrant baby heads, feel their oh so soft newborn skin, and relish the new mom high that comes after seeing the new life you just created and carried around for 9mo. So today.... My symptom is overwhelming love for this little jelly bean. This is my last pregnancy, last baby of my very own I am responsible for growing and nurturing inside my body... I'm soaking it all up today. Cheers ladies!!!!! We are growing lives, and what a spectacular reward we will have when our symptoms are all done!!!
I was prescribe Fluconazole aka Diflucan for a yeast infection. I asked the Dr. during the appointment if it was safe to take and her response was a sarcastic, " 'Cause I would give you something unsafe". Anyways, I didn't even question it. I dropped my prescription off at my pharmacy and when I went to pick it up an hour later the pharmacist said there was a problem processing my prescription. He said there was a cap on the amount of pills he could give me. She prescribed me 3- 150mg pills (one per day) and he could only give me 2- 150 pills. I thought that was weird, but again didn't think to much into it. When I got home I noticed each pill was packaged individually. The information on the box advertises the pill as a single dose pill to be taken only once. That is when I started really questioning it. I felt uneasy and did a quick internet search (as it was already after office hours) and found that it is a class C/D drug. A single dose of 150 shows no adverse affect in infants, but larger doses in studies show birth defects (If given in the first trimester). I called my Dr. and left a message with triage and will hopefully receive a call back soon. My sister, who is a nurse, also said it was unusual she prescribed me 3 one time doses to be taken consecutively, and odd she prescribed me this over Monistat. Any one else prescribed this and in what dosage?
I wake up every day at 3:30am for about an hour with nausea and then I'm starving. I'm exhausted in the morning when my 2 year old gets up. None of that makes for a great combination.
This is just ridiculous. It's also 100 degrees in south Florida and my daughter only wants to be outside. Definitely becoming easily dehydrated and that compounds the nausea.
If my boobs would stop shooting lightening bolts randomly, that would be great.
The past two days I've had THE worst headache.
Sleeping isn't helping.
Today I have my headache, dizziness, and just feel like crap.
I'm supposed to be at work in 52minutes and I'm debating on not going- I feel that bad.
I am having the exact same problem. Mine have been bothering me on and off for about a year but never enough to send me to the dentist. And now I'm terrified they will try to come out at the exact moment I can't do anything about it!
Besides that, my symptoms have actually been getting worse the past few days. 11w4d and just starting actually throwing up this week. The only good thing is for like an hour after, my stomach actually feels normal. Exhausted behind measure and severely slacking with household duties. M amazing husband has actually been cooking, which is a miracle.
Most of all, I'm just really excited. Found out yesterday we are having a boy which is exactly what both of us wanted. Now I'm actually allowed to start buying things! So excited to see the little guy again, but it won't be until 20 week scan.
3 days in a row, vomit free!!!! It was close this morning, but it didn't happen. I'm pretty shocked since I've been out of Diclegis for almost a week now, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! (Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself)
I am starting to get more excited and anxious to start showing and feeling the baby move. I hope to start enjoying this pregnancy soon since it'll be my last.
Your tooth pain might also be from inflamed gums, which is yet another symptom of pregnancy (yay). If it's localized to the back of your mouth, it's not wisdom teeth, so you shouldn't worry about that.
I just recommended the saline spray on another post, it really works when you don't want to take medicine for just a stuffy nose.
On the plus side of all this, I'm pretending I'm British because checking HCG levels isn't something we normally do in Canada.
Edit: AND my blood pressure was 139/89. So now they're freaking out about that too! Ugh, I hope it goes back down.
Oh and every time I eat salad, I puke!
