Hypothalamic Amenorrhea Vets - Part Three! (PREG, M/C, CHILDREN MENT'D)

[Ruby08]

Jess - I had similar symptoms to you at the same stage! Increased hunger, craving carbs and sore, swollen boobs! Now I have serious food aversions, I guess because everything makes me feel so sick. Everyone experiences pregnancy so differently dont they!

Millie - thanks for thinking of me, its nice to know I'm in your thoughts! It feels so surreal doesn't it? For so long we have wanted to be pregnant and then when you are - well it takes a long time to sink in!

Eliza - I read on the other board how DH sent you flowers for your anniversary! That is so sweet. It must be really hard him being away but your Mom sounds like a great support.

Ellie - I am glad your belly is growing!!

Allison - have meaning to ask do you have any idea as to what you may be having? I know you haven't found out the sex but just wondering if you have a gut feeling?

jess- thanks!!

millie- so happy for your great u/s!!!

ruby- thinkng of you and can't wait for your news!

Ruby - I can't wait to hear from you today! You know, I really have no gut feeling one way or the other as to boy/girl. Last time I was CONVINCED it was a boy and was wrong!! My daughter and husband are both guessing girl. I am getting so excited to find out!

Jess - 10.5 weeks already?! I guess it's a good thing that your first TM fell during tax season...probably helps the time go quickly? When's your next appt? Thanks for asking, I am doing really well. The only complaint I've had in the 3rd TM is heartburn, so I consider myself lucky. I really feel great other than that annoyance. I am 31 weeks. Work is a zoo and stressful...I am having a hard time keeping up on the boards but am thinking of all you! I've started training my maternity leave replacement too...not fun but well worth the end result.

Hi everyone, as I posted on the other board everything was PERFECT at my u/s! We saw the heartbeat and one perfect little baby moving around with little arms and legs and one of the arms curled up around its face. DH cried! It was such an amazing feeling. I am feeling a lot more relieved now, I was a nervous wreck before the appointment. My OB is lovely and my next scan is at 13 weeks (meant to be between 12 and 13 weeks but they couldn't get me in until 13 weeks! I am used to waiting by now ).

Anyway, YAY, YAY, YAY! It has all been worth it to get to this point!

Ruby, that's fantastic news!!! I'm SO happy for you :-) I'm assuming they'll be doing the nuchal translucency test / downs screening at that next u/s?

[Ruby08]

Hi Nico - yes they will be doing all of those tests at the next u/s in 3 weeks time. I am sure I will continue to worry until then but it was just so good to see the h/b and things were progressing well. It was the "not knowing" part that was killing me! Hope your enjoying your time at home with the boys!

[BC-Nico]

Ruby, I should SO be in bed! But as I'm not... are you planning on finding out if it's a boy or girl?

How 'bout the rest of you?

:-)

[Ruby08]

Nico - LOL, its good to have someone on line when its 2.30pm in the afternoon in Australia! DH and I think we are going to keep it a surprise for the first one. At this point, I dont mind what we have as long as he or she is healthy!! Did you find out the sexes for Ant and Timmy?

Oh and my OB prescribed me some medication for my nausea/vomiting. But yesterday afternoon and today I started feeling a bit better (which of course freaked me out until I had my u/s!).

[Ruby08]

Jess - when is your next u/s?

Millie - All the best for your new job! And I am sure you will be receiving similar good news at your u/s in a couple of weeks time! Its so exciting that we will all be due around the same time
