12 weeks
Tomorrow will be the first day of my last week in the first trimester! I am so excited that we have made it this far. Lately I haven't felt like I am really pregnant though. I'm really looking forward to being able to feel something. I want to be able to see my belly poking out an feel the hardness of my uterus near my belly button. These are all things I have read about other women experiencing around this time in their pregnancy. I know my time will come soon enough. I am just really excited!
As far as symptoms, nausea is very light, and only occurs if I haven't eaten or I am really thirsty. I pee a lot! Of course, I am trying to get the right amount of water too so drinking all that water has a lot to do with that. I sleep whenever I can. I LOVE to sleep. I haven't been too tired because I have been getting lots of sleep. This past weekend Paul and I slept probably 12 hours Friday night and 10 hours Saturday night.
My only real concern right now is that the baby is still growing well and everything is happening as it should. My doctor prescibed the progesterone suppositories a couple weeks ago and I did them for a few days, but they made me feel horrible! They caused really bad cramping so I decided to stop and the cramping went away. I went a couple days and then tried the suppositories again, and the cramping returned so I stopped for a final time and have decided, with the advice of some very dear loved ones and by following my own feelings, that I am not going to start them again. Part of me feels like I am taking a chance by not following what my doctor says. But the other part of me feels like I am doing the right thing. We saw the baby on the ultra sound around 8.5 weeks and she looked great! Her heart was beating, she was moving a little bit... it was awesome!
I haven't had any bleeding at all and no cramping since the stopping of the progesterone, so I think everything is good. I am just REALLY looking forward to feeling something and being able to tell that there is a baby in there and it's not just my fat belly... haha
I will let you know as soon as I feel something! My next dr's appointment is this next Monday.
