Embracing my pregnancy ambivalence |
https://starfishkittydreams.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/embracing-my-pregnancy-ambivalence
Embracing my pregnancy ambivalence. We’ve made it to 18 1/2 weeks already. Yeah! Lately I’ve been fantasizing about 20 weeks. It’s the half way point, so that sounds safe, right? Instead I was focused on what is the next thing to worry about, in our case it is a fetal echo in 4 weeks to confirm a healthy heart (recommended for pregnancies from IVF). Started spilling the beans. Turning the corner- Finally moving to the other side →. 7 Responses to “Embracing my pregnancy ambivalence”. This rings so true&#...

Thank you for understanding. You are so sweet. I know you’ve been there so you know how it feels. Most people just want to jump into talking about maternity clothes and baby showers and then don’t understand my reluctance to get on board. December 12, 2012 at 6:40 am. Still so very happy for you.

Turning the corner- Finally moving to the other side |
https://starfishkittydreams.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/turning-the-corner-finally-moving-to-the-other-side
Turning the corner- Finally moving to the other side. I’ve had 5 of those! 8221; is what went through my head. In a fit of worry I gave my health insurance nurse hotline a call and she calmed me down saying it was likely normal ligament pain, suggesting that we abstain and just talk to our OB who we were scheduled to see in a week. So Dr Awesome totally got her name from this first face-to-face visit in years and our first visit for this pregnancy. This conversation is why:. It’s a good thing? 8220;Yes, ...

24 weeks and still going! |
https://starfishkittydreams.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/24-weeks-and-still-going
24 weeks and still going! 24 weeks. Unbelievable. I am so thrilled to be crossing into the 6 month zone! Mathematically it is the third trimester, but I noticed several books count that one starting at 28 weeks. Either way, for me it’s a HUGE milestone. Never made it this far and feeling thoroughly pregnant on all fronts. Last week I felt movement for the first time in there and it was. Happening I want to enjoy every minute. In fact I wish I could just press pause. 34 weeks →. February 17, 2013 at 3:44 ...

To Tell or Not To Tell |
https://starfishkittydreams.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/to-tell-or-not-to-tell
To Tell or Not To Tell. A problem I fantasized about having is finally here. Who do I tell and when? There is a part of me that is perfectly content just keeping this information to myself for as long as I can. Afterall, I am not showing and we are only 14 weeks in. (Yes, 14 weeks tomorrow! I know the normal route for folks with healthy pregnancy histories is to tell around 12 weeks, but what about for those of us with a shaky history? With a history or recurrent loss should you wait longer? I struggled ...

Week 13- Passed the Nucal Scan! This is starting to feel real! We had all around good news this morning at the nucal translucency scan. Everything was normal and combined with our bloodwork suggest that the baby is healthy and normal (no down’s syndrome or trisomy 18). We have our last genetic screening scan in January. The baby was really moving and jumping around in there a lot which they also saw as a good sign of health. Week 12: We made it! We made it to week 12 on Friday (2 days ago)! Our OB said i...
