Waist: 31.5 inches
Weight: 129 pounds
Symptoms: sensitivity to smells, cravings, fatigue, gas, bloating, nausea
I didn’t realize I hadn’t written anything during week 9! Oh well, it was really just a continuation of week 8. Nothing exciting or different. This week, however, it seems that my breast soreness is getting a little better. Also, my sensitivity to smells doesn’t seem as acute, but it’s still bothersome. Right now, the most uncomfortable symptom I have is bloating. I had to order some waist expanders for my prepregnancy jeans so that I can continue to wear these jeans a bit longer. I’m not showing yet, but my bloated tummy gives a false impression. And my slowly increasing appetite isn’t helping any!

Symptoms: extreme sensitivity to smells, cravings, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, breast soreness
Eating is a chore. I find, however, that eating seems to keep the nausea at bay. In fact, the type of nausea I feel is the type you get after you take vitamins on an empty stomach. I haven’t vomited yet, but I’ve come close several times. Diarrhea seems to be the most bothersome GI symptom these days. Other than this, not too much is happening right now. I’m not showing yet, but I sure am bloated.

Week 8: Wednesday, March 3, 2010

The follow-up ultrasound showed a full-fledged fetus with a heartbeat! The heart rate was 174. There was a visible head as well as arm and leg buds. I cried!

Week 7: Friday, February 26, 2010
Symptoms: extreme sensitivity to smells, cravings, fatigue, Raynaud’s attacks, cold sensitivity, diarrhea, nausea, breast soreness
Week 6 seems to have been the week that the nausea kicked into a higher gear, and it’s continuing this week, so far. No vomiting yet, but I am very uncomfortable most of the time. I keep snacking, which seems to help ease the nausea, but I’ve become quite particular about what I want to eat. I’m sort of worried, because I haven’t gained any weight yet. I’m afraid that between this nausea and my now-poor blood circulation, the embryo (if it’s there) isn’t getting what it needs.

Week 6: Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Symptoms: extreme sensitivity to smells, cravings, fatigue, Raynaud’s attacks, breast soreness
I went back to the doctor today for my official “new ob” visit. In light of my symptoms a couple of weeks ago (see Monday, February 1), they did a repeat transvaginal ultrasound. This time, a gestational sec was observed, as was a yolk sac. However, neither a fetal pole nor a heartbeat was detected. The sonogram technician didn’t seem concerned about it; she said today would be the absolute earliest anything would be seen anyway. But the doctor was indeed concerned and is having me return in another 2 weeks for a follow-up ultrasound. Also, I have to do a 24-hour urine collection this coming weekend to check kidney function (because of my hypertension). Yay.
