I was so hoping that my OB would have time to pull out the portable u/s machine and take a peek ~ I'm dying to know what this baby is! But she was really busy again and so I didn't even ask about it. ![]() ![]() Anyways, the heartbeat was in the upper 150's, and everything else is going well. ![]() ![]() ![]() I forgot to ask about the dizzy spells I've been having and the fact that I'm bruising a lot, but I've been slacking on taking my prenatal so I'm probably a little low in iron. I'm trying to remember - I took it yesterday and today. I hate taking it though because it makes things a little er... slow if you know what I mean ~ and I have enough trouble in that department as it is! ![]() ![]() So that's my little update - I wish I had something more exciting to tell, like the sex of the baby! ![]() ![]() |

The nurse just called and said she scheduled my u/s for September 19th at 4pm. That's three weeks away! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Well sounds like everything is going pretty well. Hope you get to see what this baby is at 18 weeks. ![]() BTW, I got those spinning spells when I was pg with Kylie and then they never went away. I was later diagnosed with vertigo. Now that you had it when you were pg with Roo, so it makes me wonder what the correlation is, ya know. Weird. |

That is weird - I wonder what it is about pregnancy that causes it. ![]() I'll be 19 weeks when I have my u/s - I just found out when it is. I was hoping for 18 weeks but I guess maybe it'll be easier to tell what it is. I'm just so darn impatient! ![]() |

Happy Birthday to Lissa! She will find out about her new little girl friend that day! ![]() ![]() My vertigo (which appeared with Lissa) seems to have calmed down somewhat, although I do still have episodes. I wonder what's up with that? ![]() |

You too? This is very freaky! I wonder how many women who've beared children have this now. Mine is a lot calmer but I have episodes too and when I do they are DOOZIES. ![]() ![]() This is really starting to freak me out as to why this happens in pg and doesn't go away. ![]() |

Fly by.... yeah right. ![]() ![]() my dizzy spells that are probably vertigo did get a little better a few months after I had Andrew, but it never went away completely and now that I am pg it is worse again. I should ask Dr Suppes about it next time and see if she can tell me why it shows up when you're pregnant and then stays to haunt you forever. ![]() |

Well, it sounds like everything is going well. ![]() ![]() ![]() Glad everything is going well, Sara. I hope the Claritin helps with the allergies. ![]() I've also had the vertigo since Maddie...can't ride roller coasters anymore ![]() |

I wanted to chime in on the prenatal vitamins. I used to take Strong start and they slowed everything down.....ugh. I mentioned this to my doctor and he wrote me a script for Duet chewables. OMG! These things are wonderful!!!!! They have an ingredient in them that "softens" things up. ![]() ![]() |

No roller coasters?! ![]() I kind of wish I was showing... I'm fine with the no weight gain, but I'd like to have something to show for the last few months of feeling crappy. ![]() The Claritin helped a lot yesterday - I took it in the morning and I felt great all day. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Huh, that sounds really good... I should ask my doctor about those. ![]() ![]() |

Claritin doesn't work for me at all. I have to take Allegra (which requires a rx) ![]() I tried riding a roller coaster after Maddie was born and I was so sick. It made me dizzy for weeks. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() i went thru dizzy spells too with 2 pgs. lotsa water, prenats and no rapid movement was all i could do. i still get them from time to time too but i think it is fatigue and dehydration. can't wait for your update! ![]() |

The Duet chewables taste even better than Flintstones to me. They have an orange-vanilla flavor....they have really been a godsend during this pregnancy b/c I was having some horrible constipation problems with my old vitamins. ![]() |
