December due dates
Welcome and congratulations, if you're just found out! Do you feel
pregnant yet, or is it still new and stunning? Have you started telling people? Started to look around at the hospitals and birth centers near you, taking prenatals? Any food cravings, any morning queasiness? Peeing a million times a day? How's pregnancy treating you so far? I hope the next nine months are happy, healthy, and fun! Mary |

I hope the next nine months are happy, healthy, and fun! Mary Hmmm. First one to post for this month. Well there aren't many of us yet. I've known for about a month now. I definitely feel pregnant - sore boobs, tired, moody. We've told family and a couple of close friends. Haven't told work yet and to make matters worse, found out that there is a job that I *really* want and think I would be perfect for and pays quite a but more than what I make currently. The universe's timing likes to play cruel tricks on me I think :-). Have seen the OB once, have a transnuchal U/S and genetic counseling scheduled for the 25th of this month as well as my second OB appt. Picked the OB group partially on the hospital they deliver out of - it reminds me a lot of the hospital in which I delivered DS. I had a surprise visit to the ER on wed morning due to a severe shortness of breath and was diagnosed with mild adult onset asthma - *whee* so now I am on an inhaler as well as my prenatal vitamins. With DS, I had *no* morning sickness or afternoon or evening sickness other than a nasty case of the flu at about 3 months. With this munchkin, I've thrown up several times mostly around lunch. Brushing my teeth is an absolute chore as my gag reflex is in high gear *whee again.* No real food cravings. I've always peed a lot and it's just even more so since getting pregnant. DH seems to be getting a little more into the pregnancy. He's going to try to go with me to the U/S so between seeing that and it being to the three month mark, he'll be a little more relaxed that everything will be okay.

How's pregnancy treating you so far? I hope the next nine months are happy, healthy, and fun! Mary I found out about 2 weeks ago-I have my 6 week appointment Tuesday. I already know which hospital I'm going through-it's the one with the best NICU, and since I have a 50% chance of recurrent HELLP, which means another preemie, I want the support. My team is a primary care OB, a Certified Nurse-Midwife, and a Perinatologist. The midwife is doing most of the care, although the OB stops in and checks on me at the regular appointments, and she'll be my primary contact for monitoring. Right now, I'm just checking in with my BP and protein readings once a week, and going in every two, but when we get into the danger zone for me, it will be more like a few times a day. The Peri is on consult, and won't be pulled in unless I start showing symptoms. So far, my BP is actually lower now than it was pre-pregnancy-probably because I have so many people threatening to strangle me if I do ANYTHING which might raise it! I've been on vitamins since I started TTC, over a year ago-not an official prenatal, but a multi-vitamin, plus additional folic, calcium and antioxidants. I'm also on low-dose aspirin therapy (which is supposed to help in recurrant PE), and cranberry pills (I get UTIs easily while pregnant, or at least I did last time). I still have two weeks of school this year, and the peeing all the time is driving me crazy. So far, morning sickness hasn't been too big of a problem, but you can't leave a group of kids to run to the bathroom. Luckily, I'm a music teacher, and have a different group every 45 minutes, so I can usually make it between classes. The adults in my life generally know-I called everyone when I ended up on bedrest right after diagnosis because I wanted the hand holding and support, but I'm not sure whether I should tell my students or not. I've already applied for leave for all of next school year-my principal, music supervisor, and district music coordinator all support me NOT trying to work while pregnant (my supervisor's comment is "You've had to do too much to get this baby-we're not going to let you tire yourself out and lose it!"), so I won't be back in the fall. Food cravings! Actually, this was the first symptom I noticed-all of a sudden, I would KILL for nachos! This baby definitely has a taste for spice. Lots of Taco Bell runs to the border on the way home from work. Then, last night, it was yeast rolls. My husband is putting up with it. So far, nausea has been only an occasional thing-something I'm very glad about. I'm definitely starting to get the breast tenderness, and the bulge is starting to appear-enough that some of my more tailored teaching clothes are not all that comfortable, and I got the requisite "Mrs. Metler, are you getting fat?" question from a 5 yr old. Definitely still having trouble believing this is real. Two years, to the day, after my due date with Brian, the pregnancy for the next one was officially diagnosed! After almost a year and a half of TTC-on a month where we'd about given up. |

So far, I haven't craved it this time although I have wanted Mexican food lately but I think that's because I get it so rarely- there's not a Mexican restaurant anywhere near here. -- JennL DS 06/26/98 1 tiny angel 11/03 EDD December 4 2004 aka CatnipSlayer @ livin-it-up.net -- Leader of the Cult of Worshippers of BiPolar Long-Haired Sexy Anime Guys with Swords |

December due dates
I told my co-workers last Monday at our first-of-the-month meeting. I
got in trouble with all the girls for keeping it a secret for a month before I told (although reaction was positive overall) and now my boss is treating me like I'm about to break and asking me all the time how I'm doing. I told him that I was as fine as I was before I told everyone, and thanks for asking. No nausea or sickness yet (cross fingers, feel lucky) but my gag reflex is so sensitive that I can't wear necklaces or a shirt with a high neckline...even tee shirts are driving me crazy! And my appetite is still gone but I woke up hungry this morning for the first time in weeks. I go back to the dr Monday after next and I am curious if I have even gained any weight, although I've been trying to eat. Mom said that she lost her appetite when she was pregnant with me so that makes me feel better, since I turned out just fine Happy Mother's Day, everyone! Hope yours was lovely.

I hope the next nine months are happy, healthy, and fun! I think half the world knows! Had to tell DH's workmates, as he wants time off in December, which is their busiest month. Almost all our friends know - partly due to the grapevine (I had wanted to tell them personally, but that's what you get for going on holiday and being away from a phone). Nausea is not too bad, but my sense of smell is super-sensitive, and even mundane things like feeding the cat are interesting to say the least (I have never realised before how much cat food smells!). Just as well I am used to breathing through my mouth. I hope all other December-due people are going well. Cathy EDD 8 Dec 04 |
