Okay ladies I'm sorry for not updating in a MONTH!! Being preggo makes me REALLY tired so I try to get all the sleep I can get while I still can. I'm so worn out that I made them cut my hours down at work so I can sleep more lol. So lets see...let's start with the preggo updates:
- at 6 weeks and 3 days I had some bright red spotting and cramping. Of course I'm extremely paranoid from losing two other pregnancies that I rushed right to the ER. They did a pelvic, drew blood and did an ultrasound and everything came back fine. I had a yeast infection and an overabundance of bacteria that is found in the down there already so they think that may have caused it. The ultrasound tech was really cool and let me sneak a peak of the baby and told me the ultrasound results even though he wasn't suppose to. Definitely put my mind to ease.
-I had my first appointment on January 4th and we got another ultrasound. I was 10 weeks and 6 days which meant that it actually looked like a baby more than a tadpole. As soon as the baby popped up on the screen I started crying because I was so scared that there was going to be a dead baby in there. We got to hear the heart beat and everything and the baby had a very strong heartbeat of 174. The midwife decided to do a bunch of blood work because of the chemical pregnancies and she did a one hour glucose because of the PCOS.
-Well the one hour came back and I failed it!! I was not at all surprised. Now I have to take the 3 hour one already and if I fail that one then she says I have gestational diabetes, even though it's pretty early on to develop it. She thinks it has to do with the insulin resistance that is associated with the PCOS and it will mean I end up on medication if I fail.
-Most of my blood work has come back normal, expect for one thing. I have a genetic mutation called MTHFR, which has probably been the cause of the CP. I added a link so y'all could read up on it because it's so complicated to explain. We have to go see a genetic counselor now, we're just waiting on the referral through T
It makes me sad to think of how hard it has been to get pregnant and stay pregnant. It seems to me that maybe all this is a sign. I have decided that if I am able to carry this child all the way that this is it. I honestly do not think I can continue to go through all the heartbreak. It's sad, but I'm willing to except the fact that maybe I'm not meant to have tons of children of my own.
The hubby has been out to sea over the past week and of course I get the news while he's gone. Now I'm waiting for him to call me to come pick him up so I can tell him what crappy luck we continue to have.
Okay, enough of a pity party.
On a better note...I am 12 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. I thank God for every day that I am able to carry this baby.
Oh and I have ultrasound pictures. I have to reload the printer software onto the computer and then I will be able to scan them in...look for pictures!!
