Re: High Risk Check-in
Why are you considered High Risk? My first pregnancy, when I was 28, was a Trisomy 18 baby that did not make it. I had absolutely no risk factors. Second pregnancy was ectopic. Since I seem to have horrible luck, for no particular reason, they like to keep a close eye on me. (Third pregnancy was a perfect little baby boy; fourth pregnancy was an extremely late loss as well, due to other unexplained anomalies.)
How far along are you? 9 weeks 6 days
How are you feeling? Off and on nausea for the past few weeks and extreme exhaustion
Up coming appointments? Visit with the regular OB on Thursday afternoon.
Questions/ Rants/ Raves. My husband is annoying. He's pissed off because after working a full-time job, driving an hour to get home, trying to get housework done, and wrangle a 2 year old in for dinner, a bath and bed, that I should also be at his beck and call for sex! Excuse me?1 I'm barely hanging on at 9 PM! He knows what the first trimester is like, but this one has been so vastly different than my son, (plus now I have a 2 year old to chase around!) he thinks I should be just as willing to give it up this time. Ugh, no. Do it yourself, and pray for a better 2nd trimester, pal. This momma is tired!
I have been considered infertile for 6 years, therefore had to go to an RE to get pregnant, and I have had 3 bleeding episodes this pregnancy, was convinced I miscarried last week, lots of blood and clots (sorry TMI), but the baby was still in there with its cute heartbeat.
How far along are you?
10 weeks 5 days
How are you feeling?
I have had some nausea, but nothing terrible. I think I am on the uphill swing as my exhaustion has backed off tremendously.
Up coming appointments?
I have one this afternoon with my OB, my RE released me on Friday back to my OB, so first official appointment with him!
Questions/ Rants/ Raves
My husband has been a God send! He won't let me lift a finger and we are in the middle of move so he is packing the entire house, as well as making me dinner and making sure everything gets done!

Why are you considered High Risk?
I have a genetic predisposition to clotting called Factor V Leiden. I'm heterozygous for the genes so I'm 8 times more likely to clot than the average pregnant lady. I did have a DVT (blood clot in my leg) about ten years ago. I'm self - injecting with lovenox daily, just like my first pregnancy.
How far along are you?

Not for another ten days! I did have my first ultrasound a week ago and baby had a good strong heartbeat.
Questions/ Rants/ Raves.
I'm also NOT in the mood for sex. At all. Husband is frustrated. I'm tired and annoyed. It's the first trimester! What did he expect?

Questions/ Rants/ Raves - questions - this probably sounds dumb but does anyone believe in jinxing things ?
