At today’s ultrasound, where I am 8w1d, the baby measured exactly 8w1d (as you can see in the pic at the bottom). That’s the first time that this has ever happened to me. Hopefully a good sign!
My next appt. is next Thursday and I managed to schedule it for a time that G. can come to, too. I’m super nervous for that one, because it was at my 9-week u/s that we found out we’d lost the baby last time. I’m just taking things a week at a time.
My doctor did mention that I can take some B6 to help with the nausea. My morning sickness has gradually become an all-day thing now. I wake up feeling slightly sick but it slowly gets worse throughout the day, especially after lunch. I get home from work and don’t move from the couch the rest of the night. Those accupressure bands I ordered last week are supposed to be here Friday, so I’m hoping they work. The weirdest part is feeling like I’m about to be sick and yet starving at the same time.
My shots are still going ok, but I’m having trouble with the progesterone shots in my left hip. They hurt way more than the right side, and I have no idea why that would be. Maybe I have more nerves on that side? Who knows. I am getting pretty good at giving myself the shots, though. Not that I like it much, but it is getting easier.
I did get to see and hear the heartbeat, but she didn’t measure it, just saying that it looked great. And I have heard that lots of morning sickness means a girl, so we’ll see if you’re right when the time comes, Meg!
