Baby Gummi Bear

We got to see the baby again at the doctor today. He/she is the size of a gummi bear, but we could distinguish little appendages moving around when he/she entertained us with some flips. It was very cool! We should know mid-July if we need to stock up on blue or pink winter clothes.

The doctor also told us that I only have a 20% chance of a re-occurrence of pregnancy induced hypertension. For some reason it will show up with the first pregnancy, but not for any following ones. It would be wonderful to have a full term pregnancy without any complications!

And the anti-nausea prescriptions are at the pharmacy being filled. The doctor did warn me that the goal with the drugs is to keep the puking at bay and just have mild nausea. I'd rather not have anything, but I'll give it a shot and see if I feel better. Right now the sight of food sends me running to the bathroom.

    Great news about the prescriptions! Just remember IF one doesn't work, let the Dr. know and they should be able to try something else. We are so happy for you.

    Zofran and Efenefran (?) -- he said I could pick. I got both generic and the Zofran is working!! But my insurance only gives me a week at a time of the Zofran....

    That happened to me the first time. And the nurse had to call and argue with them each week for more. This time around they are giving me 60 pills at a time - no questions. Gotta love insurance companies. Glad you found something. Keeping my fingers crossed that it continues!
