I bought 2 pair of pants and a few tops. I'm only "showing" at night time after I've eaten food all day. You would think I'm 4 months along. But I'm bloated and my belly is sensitive to tight pants so it was worth it to buy some maternity clothes.

Renee - I am right there with you, nausea, even waking up in the middle of the night with it. Mood swings are bad, I totally got mad at DH yesterday because he had to work and couldn't go to our friends' party, it was really silly, but at the time I was so mad. My MIL, Step-mom, and my mom have told him that this will happen and to just go with the flow, but that just isn't his style.

Denise - How horrible to have a bad headache and not be able to take anything but tylenol. I know some people's OB's give them Tylenol 3. I hope it doesn't come back.

Only 3 more days until my U/S I can't wait. Also, I am really trying to figure out if I should start getting maternity clothes. I literally have one pair of pants for work I can still wear. I have no suits to wear, which makes for interesting outfits when I have to go to court. I don't think I will grow much in the next month or so, sincethis is all ovaries and bloating, but I was wondering if anyone else is buying maternity?

Oh my Gosh! I cannot keep up with this group!!! Its so big now!!! HOOORAY! Sorry Ive been MIA- I was out of town for a long 3 day weekend. It was so rejuvinating to go golfing and not have to worry about anything! Just my DH and the fairway ..... Im so sad Im back to reality.

Beth I am so sorry to hear about your bleeding!!! Please let us know if everything is okay! I hope it was not an etopic....

Cathy- I too am eating protien like a mad woman. Especially with 3 in there, my DR said 25% of my diet should consist of it. When did you start seeing a dietician? I really feel strongly like I should go to one. Did your insurance cover it? I called on mine and it does not. So Im wondering if it is worth the extra money or if I can just do it myself.........

Congrats on all the u/s that happened while I was away!!! Passionscientist !!! I used to spy on the Houston clinical trial thread so I remember you!!!! Congrats!

[Roxane]

Kristen Congrats on your beta #!!!! Whooo hoo!

Elisabeth I feel like I am getting a belly too. I do feel slimmer in the morning, but I think my little belly is real now since Ive got a whole litter stuffed inside of me!

Okay, here we are! 8 wk ultrasound, measuring at 9 weeks with HR of 150. The head is the biggest part of the body right now and that's to the right. Then you see the little body with tiny feet and arms. To the upper left you can see a white dot which is the yolk sac. It's much clearer in real time. I guess it's like trying to take a picture of something while it's moving. So cute, it was moving it's arms back and forth.

The last time mine was >80.....they didn't give me an exact number just told me greater than 80????

Hi Denise, my RE says the levels should just be over 25. They can fluctuate. Just got the call and now my level is 52 (was 90 the last time), so I got really worried. They said it's fine. They want me on the suppositories for 2 more weeks, until I'm 10 weeks, though another nurse just called me and said that since the baby is measuring 9 weeks, I can technically stop it next week. I'm not sure what I should do. Any advice out there?

Congrats Cathy on the US looks beautiful to see a little baby like that.
Looks like everyone is well. I head out of town again to get blood work down tomorrow and I have an US done in July 3rd. Then I will be back home. I will have to travel out of town once a week to see my RE. But it is all worth it, because he is sooo great.
On another note, my 6 year old daughters blood test came back today and she has High cholestrol. It has been monitored for several years and it wont go down her total is 200, the highest was 230. She possibly will need to see a cardio lipic specialist, they will look over her history and left me know. I am soo worried about her. I am also still crampy and worried about myself too. Anyone still crampy? I am 5w1d.
Hope everyone has a great week, will be back this weekend. Happy July 4th to everyone.

Hi Natasha,

Don't worry about your daughter. I have a friend whose 9 year old daughter got diagnosed with that too several years ago. She is fine. She has to be monitored frequently and is just on a strict diet. If I can ask anything for you, let me know, but she is one healthy looking, happy kid!

All those trips will be worth it. I didn't check your siggie but once you're released to the OB you can stay local right?

Crampings normal too. Just try not to stress and try to take it easy when you're feeling that way.
