Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

Well, good grief. I cleaned up the the kitchen today, made cookies, and mopped the floor. I stopped for a break and when I got back up I got up too fast and now I'm achy. Dang you, round ligament!

Good luck! If it makes you feel better, I know lots of women who had to take progesterone during pregnancy who went on to have happy, healthy babies. Also, progesterone levels vary greatly throughout the day, so if you get a lower reading next time, it's not necessarily a reason to stress out too much. Congrats on your good hCG results though!!

Today was a bad day.

Not only did I have the WORST baby movement--jabbing under my ribs, my sides, bouncing on my cervix and boxing my bladder--BUT I kept forgetting things, had something like a hot flash and then sneezed & peed my pants at work.

sorry to laugh but I have sooooo been there! I once peed myself at the grocery store with light grey sweatpants on! Thank goodness I had a sweatshirt to wrap around me but uggg what a feeling! And while prego with #3 everytime I threw up from horrible mourning sickness I peed all over the bathroom rug

I got smart and put towels in the bathroom Oh the joys of motherhood....

I remember that long wait! and then the week of, I managed to get in 2 days early!

so I think we need a belly pic???

Not doing much today. I've had a sharp pain in my left side, so sitting and taking it easy to see if it subsides - hope it does! baby is extremely active today, though!

This was my belly pic 2.5 weeks ago on May 14 - we were comparing our melons

Miserable!!! I agree! I have peed my pants FAR more times than I am willing to admit. My DH no longer questions me when I go back and change my pants... luckily, it's primarily been at home!! Cody, I would have the same problem... I finally put a pot on top of every toilet in the house so I could sit on the toilet (and not pee on the floor) while I puked my guts out! Ahhh, the joys of pregnancy!!

Aww thanks everyone for the support!! I didn't know that Progesterone could vary so much during the day. I looked on line at what normal levels are for being week 5 (but actually only like 12 days pregnant (dpo)). The several sites I read said anything from 9-150 was normal...err something like that. Anyway I know the 9 was right, so that helped ease my mind.

Redhen, thanks so much! I am on oral Progesterone so idk if my doctor would want me to change.....but my insurance is covering it since I am confirmed pregnant and not doing this for the sake of "fertility treatment".

I just had a horrible cold, where I had a nagging cough for over a month. I peed my pants quite a bit ( especially since this is number 3). I feel your pain!
