3rd pregnancy!
So I am just about 7 weeks and on a road trip with my Dad and my son. I had morning sickness, fatigue and sore boobs but stocked up on some items from the drugstore that my doctor suggested before we left. I’ve been taking Benadryl at night for sleep and nausea, Dramamine in the car if I need it, Miralax to help with the constipation (which is helping immensely), and I bough these pressure point wristbands targeted for pregnant women. Oh My God! Why didn’t I do any of this with my first two???? I keep touching my boobs to make sure they still hurt! We had our first U/S at 6 weeks 2 days before we left and had a heartbeat of 113, which my doctor said is right where it should be at this stage. I’m 39 and in perimenopause so am terrified of miscarriage so feeling good makes me nervous but I keep reminding myself that I am actually taking the suggested meds to help. I also am trying to keep running every other day, which I know helps. My endurance has gone way down but I’m still doing it and feel so much better after. I tell myself that this little surprise miracle nugget is safely cocooned in my womb below my pubis bone still. I’ve had two healthy pregnancies and one early miscarriage, but those were 6 and 9 years ago. Anyway, I’m just so happy the over the counter stuff is working so I can enjoy this epic road trip and am trying to keep my thoughts positive. Love to all the other pregnant mammas out there!
