12 weeks! I DID IT!!!

[stephanie greene]

HI gals,

I am so happy to now be 12 weeks! What a milestone. Just setting small goals and taking one day at a time. I think I will move over to the 2nd trimester board but I will keep an eye on all of you 1st tri gals. I pray for you each night and will continue to. I know I am one of the LUCKY ones this time around. My 1st pg was extremely severe HG the entire time. This pg is so different. I sometimes wonder of I should even post here...I don't want to frustrate others. Hopefully my story will encourage others. Anyhow 12 weeks today and I have not thrown up once! I am VERY nauseous all the time, especially in the evenings. I am lucky I have been able to stay home. I have a 2 year old with me but she is very mild mannered and also I have friens who take her to play. Grandparents near by. Anyhow....even the constant nausea is a huge struggle and its hard but I am thankful I am better than with my daughter! I realy think of you ALL often and will continue to keep you each in my prayers! See you all on the 2nd tri board SOON! YOu can do it! one day at a time~

your friend,
Stephanie

I am feeling the opposite - very hopeless - what's the point of trying, etc. Dh and I are thinking that this pg (#4) so far has been the worst - and the others were BAD. I seem to get no relief from the nausea and the past 1/2 week I'm really struggling with the vomiting too. I'm so frustrated that there isn't more to be done - I need a break from this 24/7 nausea. I'm really getting to the point of wishing I had not decided to have another baby - but I'm here now and have to see it through. I hate hating life!

Well done Stephanie!

Om gosh - I can't believe it is 12 weeks or so since you posted you were pg. Good on you for getting through pretty much, the worst bit (I think). And what a blessing - no vomitting! Amazing!

Do you have a scan date yet? Will you find out the sex? Have you got any names lined up?

Well, I shall continue to 'track' you and your lo's progress over on the second tri. board.

Keep up the good work -

Take care

Natalie
