Hello all, I am new to this site. I just found out I am pregnancy again. I miscarried at 8 weeks in May and had to have a D&C, so I was shocked to find out I was pregnant again so soon. I am excited and scared to death at the same time. So far, my symptoms have been exactly the same as my last pregnancy. I have to believe that I wouldn't be pregnant if my body wasn't ready, but this first trimester is definitely going to be an emotional ride. The nausea has definitely kicked and I learned today that bananas are off the menu for a while!

Hi ladies. Good luck in the first trimester!! im at 12 weeks now and week 8-9 was the hardest, the fatigue was rough. It's alot better now though since week 11. I did end up throwing up yesterday but I think I was in the sun too long. Either way things are going better.

if any of you worry like me, get yourself a doppler on ebay. I heard the heartbeat at week 11. IT's pretty soothing to hear the heartbeat whenever you want.

Good luck to all!

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought I wrote your post myself. It sounds the same as what happened to me. This just happened 2 days ago. At which time I was 7wk 6 days. I was with my BF, not close to my OB, so that morning, when I woke up to blood and clots after having pain the previous day, my BF took me to the ER. I was so scared. I called my Mother, and we both thought this was the end of this pregnancy. When I got to the hospital the ER Dr. saw me and then they called the u/s tech in to do an ultrasound.  We saw the heartbeat, saw the little "Bean" swimming around and everything looked fine. And measured 8wk 1 day. They called in the hopital OB and he examined me and did some test to ruleout any infections..etc.. He too assured me everything was fine and  sometimes this happens with no explanation. (I am on Progestrone suppositories for slightly low levels in my 5week. Will do those until week 12) It always helps to hear of simular situations to reassure ourselves :o)
It's 2 days later I have no bleeding, some cramping, and still feel pregnant in everyway! Booo  to the "sickness". But I keep reminding myself that as long as I feel this way, I know my little bean is still goin strong.
Good Luck and prayers to all.

Well that good that your boss understands what your going through right now. I know as a person you probably dont want sympothy but rest is what you ultimitly need. Thats good that you have a boss like that !

Thank you for your sympathy. Yes I am sure. Dr. did not confirm but I gave them the clear sac for testing. So I'm pretty sure that was it.  They will start my bloodwork on Monday to make sure everything passes the way it was supposed to. Then after I start my next cycle they will do an ultrasound to confirm it is all gone.  All they did was give me some pain meds and send me on my way.  Now I just wait.  I finally went to work today and my boss just looked at me and sent me home. Told me unless I have something pressing he doesn't want to see me tomorrow either.
