Going in for IVF and found out surprising News!

I was referred to an RE specialist last month because I had 1 blocked tube and a partial blockage of the second. The RE told me that my best chance for pregnancy was to go through IVF. I was not happy but if that is what it took to have a child I was willing to do anything.

Well, I was told to call in 30 days from my appt or on cd1 to have a sonogram and blood work done. Well, 30 days came and no cycle so I called and they told me to come in the next day. So me and hubby go into the exam room get my blood taking and the dr and nurse are doing the sonogram. The dr. pauses and tells us that somehow I was in the very early stages of pregnancy and that the sac was is the right spot. We ALL were shocked. I still am. I had no clue that I was pregnant. They called later that day telling me the hCG level was in the high 2000.

So, now I have to go find a dr. and set up an appt. I not sure if I never paid attention to the symptoms but now that I know I am I notice everything. I stay in the bathroom all day, heart and indigestion, and am very tired all the time. This baby is definitely a miracle and a blessing from God!

Joys of pregnancy

I found out I was pregnant in week 5 - I was fine up until week 6 - this is when it became a struggle and all I did was throw up everything I had ate - I used to sit and cry waiting for my husband to come home - I was so weak I couldn’t get out of bed - I even got a temperature and eventually I felt that ill I had to attend the walk in centre - this is where they told me I had a virus which was making me feel worse.

My virus went away after 2 weeks - then I felt the real feeling of being pregnant and what comes with it - the morning sickness - I have been throwing up every day since week 6, any smells or sight or even thought of some foods such as fried egg, chips, well anything fried made me sick (feeling sick writing this).

Everyone keeps telling me this will end soon - I am now in week 11 - but I feel like I am going to be the one that will have this nausea throughout my whole pregnancy.

I am hoping this will all end - I have read so many of these stories and I was thinking I was the only one that was going through it this bad - but I am not - this is such a relief - the only thing that keeps me going is that I will have a beautiful baby at the end of all this.

So what I’m trying to say is hang in there - good luck to all you expecting mums.

I am sick and preggers

So last year I lost a baby and we have been trying ever since. We just found out I am pregnant again. Last time things were smooth and totally normal, nothing was wrong. I did not have morning sickness or anything until we lost it. This time sucks, I am sick a lot if I eat, think of eating, move, get in a car, and if I sneeze wrong all lead to getting sick. I got to see my midwife tomorrow and I will be hoping for some cure however I am worried that she won't have one. My biggest issue is my fluids loss and the more I drink the more I lose if anyone has ideas I would be glad to hear them. I do not want to be in the hospital for lack of fluids or too much morning sickness.

we were told we could never have kids

My partner was told that he could never have children. All my like I have dreamed of having a little baby to love cuddle n' fuss over. When we got together and I found out I wouldn't have the chance we were crushed. Last month I missed my period. This raised alarms as I am always on time to the hour! I took a test after 1 week late...negative! I left it another 4 days and took it again...negative. By this point I was feeling sick all the time and couldn't stay awake for more that 2 hours at a time. I was cranky and moody. I took a final test to make sure...positive! I am now having my 1st baby. I'm having quite a good 1st trimester but can't touch coffee white chocolate and potato...the things I love, lol. I am going for my first scan soon and can't wait to see my gorgeous little baby. I'm not religious but MIRACLE??? He was 100% no chance of a child...but here I am with his baby.

Good luck to you all xx

IT GETS BETTER!!!

I am 25 and pregnant with my second angel. I am about 12 weeks into this pregnancy and it feels a lot worse than my first one. I get morning sickness a lot more than I did with my son. It's crazy! People say that means this one will be a girl then. We will see. I just hope the sickness leaves after the first trimester like they say it does and hope labor part goes as easy as my first. 4 hours!!! Wish me Luck!!!
