Changes

Well I am officially 10 weeks today! I have had very little nausea this week and no vomiting. Things are progressing nicely but I realized today that my clothes aren't fitting the same anymore. It must be about time for maternity clothes because I don't want to stretch the stuff I have because I need them after I have these babies. My husband says it is a little early to be showing but I reminded him by 3 months I was showing with all three of my boys and this time there is two babies in there not just one. I can tell everything is adjusting to make room, I can't even go up a flight of stairs without getting winded. I go to my first official appointment with the OB in a week and a half. I am so excited about this process and all the changes coming my way (a little scared too!).

Doing good

Well yesterday the fertility clinic called and after my ultrasound on Tuesday I am officially released to my OB! It is a great step she said everything looked good. The subchorionic bleed was small to begin with and got a little smaller so they are not too concerned about it. I also went to see my new OB to get a refill on my nausea medication. They are great I am so happy with my choice. So though I am still having the nausea and vomiting it is all going well. I am so excited!

Redemption

I went to get another ultrasound yesterday and everything looks good. I had the same sonographer that I had when I was at the ER last week. She said she saw my name and decided she had to take care of me so she could apologize for her behavior. She explained she let the equipment issues get to her and took it out on me which she was very sorry for. She explained that my nurse complained and she did get reprimanded. She was really nice throughout the procedure and even talked more and showed me the babies. I do believe she was really sorry for her actions so she redeemed herself. On a side note I am throwing up almost everyday. I have to take the antiemetics more than I would like to so since they didn't give me many at the ER now I have to go see the new doctor a little sooner so I can get me some to last me till my appointment next month.

Adventures

So yesterday I ate breakfast then started vomiting and could not keep anything down, not even water. So this afternoon I decided I better go to the ER because I knew I was dehydrated! So they did all the tests and sent me for an ultrasound. Well at the ultrasound the sonographer asked what I was being seen for and I told her I can't stop throwing up. She said well I don't know why you are getting an ultrasound it won't make you feel better. Well when back in my room I told the nurse she wasn't very friendly and she asked what I meant so I told her. Apparently my nurse was very unhappy that I had been treated that way so she notified her boss and they come in to talk to me. I think I inadvertently got that lady in trouble but they said she didn't need to take it out on you. Anyways they diagnosed me with a UTI, Hyperemesis Graviarum (extreme pregnancy sickness), and a Subchorionic Bleed. Subchorionic bleed is a small clot located in the placenta and can cause miscarriage but likely will dissolve itself. The nurse at the clinic said this could have been the reasoning for my earlier spotting. I am on pelvic rest and need to follow up for it and I already have another ultrasound for next Tuesday. After getting sent home with antinausea medication and an anitbiotic I am feeling much better.

Nausea

I really dislike nausea! The stomach bug has made its way around my house and I am not sure if it has magnified my nausea or caused it! I don't like feeling like I may puke at anytime but there is nothing I can do about it. I have tried many different things (suggested by my Facebook friends) some have worked but not for long. This is a horrible feeling! On a good note I go back for another ultrasound in a little over a week then the fertility doctor will release me to see a OB/GYN so maybe I can get something to get rid of the nausea. I truly believe that twins magnifies your symptoms because everything is far worse than I have ever experienced. I am exhausted all of the time. I sleep from 10-12 hours a night and still need a nap the next day. Hopefully this only lasts through the first trimester because that means 5 1/2 more weeks of this then it is over. I will never regret doing this but the first part sucks badly. After I make it through this it will get better and in the end it is all worth it!

Ultrasound

I went to get my ultrasound this morning and at first I was really confused. She did an abdominal ultrasound which made no sense due to the fact that I am sure and 6 weeks you can't see much on that type. After that was done she said that part is over go empty your bladder and take your bottoms off we are doing the internal one next. So we did that and I layed there patiently while she did the ultrasound with my nerves running wild. She talked to me about the process and my boys and just general things. I wasn't sure what was going on on the screen since I couldn't see it. At the end of all the the tech said I am not supposed to do this but you have been so patient and quietly waited and I also know you are nervous. She turned the screen toward me and showed me there are two babies in there! They are both measuring what they should be and the heart beat is 127 for both. I am so excited and still nervous but most of all I am so happy for the parents they really deserve this!
