We’re earlier on than we thought…approximately 5 weeks pregnant. The bleeding stopped, although I’m still spotting a tiny bit (we’re talking the size of cracked pepper here). I wasn’t able to give blood on Tuesday because of my little phobia (they thought I was completely nuts, I swear) and the scans were again unable to show an embryo. But after working out the possible date of conception and last menstrual period, it was decided that it would be almost impossible to see anything aside from the sac (which is still intact) yet anyway. Obgyn suggested another scan at radiology tomorrow, and then back to hospital to see him on Monday. He said we may not be able to see anything until six weeks, but because of the bleeding he wants regular checks. I’m a little worried that the frequency of these ultrasounds may harm the baby, but I’m sure the doctor has weighed up the risks and benefits…
Anyway, here are my symptoms as of this week…
- headache
- severe nausea
- vomiting
- severe fatigue, I sleep almost 15 hours a day
- sensitive sense of smell which results in me being incapable of sitting inside my own home without feeling extremely nauseous because something in here smells like rotting spiced pork
- revoltingly squirmy tummy that, despite being empty, feels sickeningly full.
- yet I currently have a ridiculous craving for KFC potato and gravy.
In other words, this is HORRIBLE.
