Hello all! Sorry for the lack of update for week 6 (as if anyone is actually reading this...) But, nothing noteworthy really happened until week 7. A majority of week 6 and 7 have been very nausea-filled. It all just hit me at once. It wasn't until I was 7w4d that I actually started "getting sick." Not fun at all. I think I've narrowed it down to the DHA in my prenatal vitamen. I take a seperate DHA pill from my regular prenatal. Within an hour of taking both, I get sick. So, no more of those until I talk to my doctor again. We had our first prenatal appointment on February 25th. It was just a lot of paperwork, blood work, questions, etc. We didn't get to hear the heartbeat because it's still too early. BUT! I informed the doctor of my uterus issue and we got an early ultrasound on February 28th! I found out about a year ago (through an ultrasound un-related to pregnancy or fertility) that I have a sub-septate uterus. Basically it's heart shaped with an extra little wall going down the middle. So, just to be safe we wanted to get an early ultrasound to check viability.
All was great! I was measuring exactly 7w3d (which was the exactly how far along I thought I was). We got to see his/her's little heart beating away. 160 bpm :) I started crying when I saw it beating away. We were very thrilled to know that everything looked great.
Our next appointment is on March 25th. I'll be exactly 11 weeks! I'm hoping we actually get to hear the heartbeat that time. I can't wait! We are actually leaving for Siesta Key, FL next week... At least we hope. It all depends on how I feel. I pray that I'll be up for two 16 hour car drives, so we'll see! I'll post pictures if we actually go! See you at week 8!
