Countdown to 12 Weeks
November 13, 2009
A couple of days ago, some of my symptoms suddenly disappeared – I didn’t feel sick, and my energy felt like it came back. The strong food aversions and cravings disappeared. I got nervous and left a message for my doctor. This morning, I felt like I was going to throw up again. OK, talked to the nurse anyway. She said it’s not uncommon for the symptoms to go away around 10-11 weeks. She also said she hears of people losing their symptoms, then feeling cramping and bleeding and miscarrying. She basically said there’s nothing that can be done either way, so there’s no point in panicking. I haven’t had any bleeding, and only minor cramps. They feel more like pangs, which I hope are “round ligament pain,” the feeling of the uterus stretching. Now that the vomity feeling is back, I feel worse, but better in knowing the nausea is a sign the pregnancy is progressing well. A week from tomorrow, I will be at 12 weeks and the chances of miscarriage drop significantly then. Counting down the days…
