I'm Sick!!

Well I am certainly in the throes of my first trimester now. I am constantly nauseus and just want to sleep, although when I get into bed I toss and turn.

When it comes to food I am finding it hard to eat. Have been eating toast with vegemite every morning for breakfast but this morning I got up and as I started eating my first piece, discovered that I no longer like it as it made me want to throw up.

I can't stomach diet coke any more, am now drinking either orange juice, water or lemon fizzy drink.

But it all has to be good, right? I definately wasn't this ill with the last pregnancy although I was with Bethany.

Have had a pretty stressful week. Monday night I discovered, (if I gross you out I'm sorry) not spotting, but a brownish jelly. This kept up and increased right till Wednesday morning when I decided I had enough of panicking and made an excuse, left work and drove myself into the emergency ward at the big women's hospital here. After an hour they took my blood and told me it would be an hour till we got the results. I had an examination and was told there was no sign of what I described and no blood. So I sat and weighted for the results. The hour passed with nothing. Another hour passed so I got up and said I was just going to the loo (just incase they had forgotten about me) The doctor said that someone was coming to see me and could I just wait a few more minutes. 20 minutes later a different lady came in and told me that she was going to do an ultrasound. Now I really started to worry that my Hcg levels weren't good. She did the ultrasound and said that it was the size of a 6 week old but she wanted to do an internal scan (sorry). So I emptied my bladder and had it done. I saw my bubby and its little heart beating away. I felt so relieved. I asked what my levels were and I was told that they were above 10000 and that's all that mattered. I was a little worried as to why they wouldn't give me the exact reading but was told everything was fine and I could go.

And the funny thing, the whole time I was there I didn't have any more discharge. And I didn't have any yesterday until about 7pm when it decided to start again!

So we are still going to do my scan today for a couple of reasons. 1, Pete didn't get to see the one I had on Wednesday and 2, I want to make sure that things are still OK considering I am losing stuff again. We have decided to leave Bethany with mum as I don't want to confuse her if things go wrong again.

Sorry for the totally pregnancy related entry but just thought I would let you all know what is going on. Will update tonight with the results of this arvos scan.
