Today, at 7w3d, is a symptom-less day. I feel less nauseated, almost normal, and the bb's are less sore. Yesterday, was a symptom-full day. Felt nauseated for most of the day and the bb's were super sore. Over the weekend, I think I was more symptom-full than less. I woke up this morning and even commented to the hubsters that I felt less pregnant. Ugh. I know its common for symptoms to come and go, and that I'm probably lucky -blah, blah, blah, but I dont know if I like this yo-yo.
I started researching home heart fetal monitors. I'm know I'm way to early for something like this, but man, over 1 month in between doctor's visits to reassure me that all is well down there, is asking a lot for me in terms of faith. But then again, that's what I've been preaching -- walking by faith and not by sight.
So with that said, I better contine to stand on my faith....the Lord has blessed me and this child will be fine. I believe I receive. "Strong in faith...fully persuaded that what God has promised, He is able to perform." Romans 4:20-21.
More on the first baby gift I've received in a little bit -- perhaps on one of those days where I'm symptom-full.
I am so happy for you
ReplyDeleteI would highly recommend a fetal doppler - you can rent them online from a few different sites. It is the *only* thing that has kept me sane through the scary 1T. I first heard the hb at 8w2d, but I've read (and heard from other ladies) that that is extremely early and it's more common to hear it by 10 weeks. If you can try to *not* worry (ha, yeah right!) too much during the first few tries when you may not be able to find the hb (which is very common!!), it's totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteI thought about getting a doppler. But in the end went with faith. I just keep praying that everything will work out fine and trust that everything will be and that has been the case so far. And I know many a woman who has trouble finding the heartbeat with her doppler and freaking out that the baby has died. Not worth the fear I say. Prayer is better for you and the baby.
ReplyDeleteI hated the early days when I felt no symptoms. Once you get a few more weeks along, the monitor will be so helpful. Just to check on the little one!
ReplyDeleteI am the exact same way right now! Pregnant days and not so pregnant days! It is annoying...and I totally agree that a month for appointments is ridiculous!
