I have now been sick-as-a-dog-taking-a-regimen-of-anti-nausea-and-antacid-medications for 7 weeks... meaning I'm 12 weeks pregnant! (Actually, let's round up-- as of tomorrow, I'm 13 weeks, just days away from the end of what has felt like the longest first trimester in history). I had another OB appointment this week; here is the update:
Gestation: 12 weeks 6 days
Weight: 147 lbs (+7 from conception, no change since 8 week appointment)
Fetal Heartbeat: 165-170 bpm (easily found with a handheld doppler in the OB's office)
Health Concerns: Still dealing with morning all day sickness(Taking Vitamin B6 and 1/2 dose of Unisom nightly), new issues with heartburn/sour stomach (Taking Mylanta between meals; will move on to Prilosec OTC if condition persists)
Other Concerns: How I'm going to avoid maternity clothes for the next six months. I am still (stubbornly) wearing my regular clothes, even though they are a little tight in the stomach. All my pregnancy clothes with G were geared toward warmer weather; the bulk of this pregnancy will be during the winter months. If anybody has size medium maternity clothes they want to send me, let me know! I'll gladly take a donation :)
Next Appointment: November 23rd

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Are you finding it much different second time around? I hope that your morning sickness lifts soon.
YAY on 12 weeks. I hope you start to feel much better soon!
Hey yo-email me, I have some things!
Awww. Glad to hear that you're almost over the hurdle of the first trimester. Sorry to hear that you are dealing with morning (all day) sickness.
Another update - woo hoo! I anticipate them. :) Besides the all day sickness and the clothing quandry, how are you doing? Has the reality of this new season set in yet? I think of you often (and pray for you, too). Hang in there, chica!
great news!!!!
I avoided preggo clothes for 6 moths too, I just bought big regular clothes...and tank tops are long these days and sweaters and big!! You'll be fine!
How exciting! Congratulations on your new little one!
How is staying home with G?
oh the sickness...the dreaded sickness. Someone please tell me why they call it morning sickness because I had it morning noon and night!
I hope you feel better soon and I say wear regular clothes till you so can't anymore!!!
Happy 13 weeks!!!!!! Just one week left to go in the dreaded first trimester - hopefully your morning sickness will resolve with the beginning of the second. Fingers crossed!
I would totally send you my maternity clothes except I borrowed for the last month of pregnancy, and otherwise just bought old navy things in a size up :(
Soooo exciting!!! Isn't pregnancy so much fun ;)!!!? hehe. Hang in there!!
I had severe acid reflux with Kellen and my midwife prescribed nexium which worked wonderfully. So if worse comes to worse see if you can try that.
So gald everything is going well!
Yay for the first trimester being nearly done/done! I hope you start to feel better soon! I learned what heartburn and indigestion were late in pregnancy and I just feel for you already having to deal with it! Get some rest when you can :)
I'm such a bad bloggy friend...CONGRATS on the pregnancy!!!!!!!! How exciting!!!!!
i might have some clothes.... let me see if i can dig them out and i'll let you know!!
I had HORRIBLE heartburn with J. My OB suggested Gaviscon. It tasted like cement, but boy did it ever work. He said the studies have shown it to work best for pregnant women...
Congrats on your pregnancy!! :)
