I started this weightloss journey in January 2004 and lost 20kg in the first year. Then in 2005 I had lost another 7kg before suffering a miscarriage and I struggled to get back on track. This blog was a fresh start for me to help me reach my final goal. And just as things were settling down, I fell pregnant again in March 2006 and gave birth to a healthy baby girl in November. Now my main aim is to finish the good work I started and become a healthy mummy to my 2 girls.

Here I am

If I have worried anybody because I haven't updated earlier, I am very sorry. I have just had to take some time to get my head around things.

As I mentioned in my last update, I had been to the hospital because of some small spotting of sorts. I was told my hcg levels were more than 10000 but they wouldn't tell me what they were exactly. This worried me because at 6 weeks your levels should be between 1080-56500 and I wanted to know if I was at the low end or the high end.

Then Friday I went for my scan. The woman found bubs and the heartbeat but couldn't measure the length properly because she could find the ends. The one measurement she did take had bubs at 6 weeks and 3 days, which is what I was. She also managed one heartrate scan and this was 122bpm.

So I went home feeling less than satisfied and still worried because I had read that at 6 weeks the heartrate should be around 150bpm.

So spent the weekend totally worried. Finally Sunday I sat myself down and gave myself a lecture. I was just making myself worse. I had to stop taking things I read as gospel, every pregnancy is different. I made an appointment to see my doctor yesterday. Yesterday I rang the hospital I went to, told them I was seeing my doctors and needed my exact hcg levels. The result: 50200. GEEZ, thats a big difference to 10000. Why didn't they just write that to begin with. I also found before my appointment, on the website that has the hcg levels, that heartrate for a 6 week old can be between 120bpm and 180bpm, depending on when exactly the heart started beating. I also found Bethanys scan at 6 weeks and her heart rate: 115bpm.

So I had worried for nothing and caused god knows what stress on my wee bub. I picked up my scans and went to the doctors and she is all happy with everything and has even given me my referral to start antinaetal(sp?) care at the hospital in 5 weeks, all going well.

So there you go. Now I just need to make it through this naesea and I will be fine. But with every stomach turn and gag I do, I know it has to be a good thing and just smile to myself.
