Things are pretty good.
I'm 7w1d today! Just 6 days until our next scan!
I had two whole days straight of no bleeding! I thought I was making it a third day but it started back up again last night. (I need one of those "It's been ___ days without an accident" signs.) It's not as bad as it was, but still there. I'm still feeling pretty good about everything and trying not to think about it. I just wish it would flippin' stop.
Cramps still seem to come and go.
I'm in the hungry/nauseous phase. Thankfully no vomiting at this point. Just feeling like I will vomit if I don't eat pretty much all the time and feeling especially nauseous at night.
I'm utterly, utterly exhausted. I haven't stayed up past 9 o'clock in a week and seem to fall asleep on the sofa at 7:30 most nights. Then, of course, I wake up extra early because my brain is confused (and the time change doesn't help).
My boobs are gigantic and my nipples are hot pink and enormous. Just thought you should know. :)
I was out of town at a meeting for three days and, luckily, it was a workshop that involved me sitting on my butt the whole time. I ordered room service both nights I was there (fancy, fancy hotel -- lots of fun) because walking around looking for food seemed like a bad plan. And, room service was actually reasonably priced.
I was worried I wouldn't get a lot of protein on this trip (breakfasts and lunches were provided and non-meat protein sources are few and far between at these things sometimes). Normally, I'd take a bunch of nuts as a go-to protein snack. BUT, during my last pregnancy, my allergist told me that a few new studies have shown that highly allergic mothers (such as me) who ate nuts during pregnancy (even if they weren't allergic to them themselves) increased the likelihood of having children with nut allergies. So, I'm trying to be nut free. Which kind of sucks! (And, am afraid that I'm going to end up causing the opposite effect.) So, before I left, my DH boiled me a half dozen eggs and I took a little cooler with me. I added them to random meals throughout the trip. It was actually quite yummy.
I'm having some generalized anxiety issues today for some reason and I'm just trying to meditate and breathe.
I have no desire whatsoever to go teach my lab this afternoon. Maybe the students won't notice if I don't show up... (I wish I could say they'd all be excited for it to be canceled. But, there are only four weeks of lab left this semester and they're all behind and missing a day would FREAK them out. They all seem a bit type A. Which, I suppose, is better than them not caring.)
OK, I guess I'd better suck it up and go to lab. Blah.
Happy Wednesday! Sorry for the rambling post.
No I was happy for your post as it reassured me!! I haven't had m/s but I have had a little nausea at night and of course I start worrying! Our symptoms are identical! Blah so can't be bothered working at the moment!! Over it.
ReplyDeleteNausea is such an awful symptom.... but someone once told me that it's an 'old wives tale' that the severity of your nausea indicates a strong placenta growing - to I held onto that thought through both of my T1's to help me deal with the nausea. Ginger tea works well too :)) Hope your labs go OK... and still so so excited from you xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour nipple description made me LOL! Get lots of rest! Growing two babies is a ton of work!
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time finding anything to eat that had protein so I ended up buying the 25g protein powder and making shakes with milk. It was an easy way to get almost 35 grams in the morning. I at a lot of string cheese and greek yogurt too.
Can't wait until your next scan!
Two things I kept around during that "need to eat all the time" stage were oyster crackers and altoids. The peppermint helps with nausea and the crackers were good for just a little something often. Sorry your anxiety is up today...I wish the bleeding would just flippen go away already *GRR* I read that about nuts too but I ate peanut butter pretty often and my LO doesn't have any allergy issues with them...who knows. Hope lab goes fast and you get lots of good rest tonight! Don't feel bad...I never made it past 9pm in the 1st trimester either =)
ReplyDeleteI read this thinking wow 7wks 1 day already... then remembered I am only 2 days behind you, and am 7wks tomorrow. It's funny cause your dates sound magical to me - like its been so long already!
ReplyDeleteI have a total aversion to eggs right now, which is a shame as I boiled 4 the other day thinking they were a perfect protein solution.... nothing sounds appetizing anymore :(
yay for 7w1d!
ReplyDeleteurgh for the nausea...but having something on hand constantly is the way to go. for me, i loved loved loved salted crackers. i could just eat them like they were going out of fashion.
the nausea passed for me at about 12-13 weeks -- it was boom! gone! as if someone flicked a switch. so hopefully that happens for you soon too! i didn't mind the nausea because at least i knew that it meant something was going on (i didn't have any nausea with my m/c)
p.s. i LOVE reading your PREGNANCY posts!!!!!
Hope the nausea eases soon. I read about the nut / allergies too but there was a time when peanut butter was my best friend (and another with mixed nuts) because I couldn't get within three feet of eggs or chicken or.... :) Gotta do what you've gotta do to keep getting your protein, hope eggs continue to work for you!
ReplyDeleteCool, I'm just one day behind you. Recognizing the symptoms as well.. but no puking just yet. Hope you can take it easy and rest during the weekend. Looking forward to hear about your next scan =)
