the blessing of morning sickness

[Sunshinesmylz]

I was hoping I'd escape it and be blessed like I was the first go around, but this morning I was throwing up :(
I'm truly glad though, because it's another positive sign that my pregnancy is progressing as it should. Sometimes I still feel like I'm dreaming, and that I kinda have to pinch myself to be sure it's real. Five years ago I figured that my fertility was done with, being that I had to have one ovary removed due to pcos. I was asking the Dr to go ahead and remove everything because I never planned on being a mom again...my son was 14 at the time, and I was not in any relationship. The Dr wisely refused, saying I still needed the remaining ovary to regulate my hormones, and I was still pretty young to make such a permanent decision (was 37 yrs old) and that I never know if I might meet a man that I'd want to have a child with.
(A little background- my first husband passed away almost 7 years ago suddenly in his sleep one night and I was blown away into a devastating depression for a couple years, and this issue with pcos came up during that time when I figured my reproductive life, even romantic life was over. I'm so happy that I was discouraged from getting a full hysterectomy- So doggone ecstatic really.)
I have since gone on to meet my fiancee who is a true gem...a real gentleman. He cooks most of our meals, makes sure I eat enough for me and baby, is completely understanding -most of the time- of my pregnancy hormones, and scoops the litter box for me. I'm so connected to him that I can physically feel his pain when we've been apart, and he's been having the sympathy symptoms for the pregnancy too. He's definitely a keeper....love this man. So yes....I am feeling so blessed to be having morning sickness :P

Yes, I do feel that I am in a much better place than I have been in in years. I am so grateful to God for being patient and kind to me. This baby we're having is in all reality a godsend. We met close to a year ago, a couple months after we started dating, we were engaged. That's when we kind of started trying.....not tracking cycles or anything, but not using protection either. We were blessed with this bean....found out today at the ER that the ultrasound puts the baby at around six weeks along. I had to go in because I broke out in a rash last evening that continued to get worse ad the night went on...turns out to be pupps most likely. I also have been spotting so I was given a complete workup and was told the spotting is due to a small subchorionic hemorrhage.....Dr said that it's common. (I've seen lots of posts here about that, so it doesn't worry me terribly. I'll just have to be super careful about getting proper rest and staying healthy otherwise) I can't wait to get into an OBGYN's office and get another sonogram that I can keep pictures or a disc from. The ones today I wasn't able to see the screen, but my fiancee saw the size of and heartbeat of our little bean....I was so happy about that!

Sorry to hear about your husband, that's terrible... Sounds like your in a great place at the moment (despite the morning sickness... I've been really lucky, 10weeks 3 days pregnant and only vomited twice :-) most days apart from being tired I don't even feel pregnant! I figure after trying for 6 yrs and going through IVF I deserve a smooth pregnancy! Haha
