No news is good news

Not much to report this side. Which is good I suppose. Still grumpy, still nauseous. Which is good. I have a whole week to go before my next scan and I am constantly fighting the DBTs*. I don’t know where I was going with that whole “I can last two weeks” thing. V childish. So, that’s my boring update. Sorry, I should hopefully get my personality back soon. Hopefully.

Deja Vu - I seem to remember you commented on the seemingly endless wait between scans in your book.....Can you go earlier? Just so you can stop worrying (at least for the time it takes to walk from the Dr back to your car lol)

[Anika]

Please give yourself some credit. I know that you're feeling like, well, "I had about 100 miscarriages, what would change now?" Well, it happens when you least expect it.. I know that this one is going to stick. At least you got a BFP, I never get one... (3 years and counting)

[Dani3boyz]

We're with you... regardless of the state of your personality. xoxo

You'd be frighteningly superhuman if you weren't having those thoughts.

But as you say, no news is good news. I, for one, am very glad of the non-event update.

[Amy]

You're so brave. Hang in there.

(I'd been wondering what the heck DBTs meant... Was going to ask you via chat yesterday!)

I think your dr should give you a portable ultrasound machine! Geez- what are they thinking! I don't like waiting either - we're all going through this with you, T. Hang in there, hun!!

[tess]

[Rae]

I always figured as long as i was pukin, or feeling like it, i was still pregnant! Take it as a good thing:)
Good luck. lots of us cheering for you.

DBTs suck...keep chanting NBHHY! Come on Tertia, you can do it...chant it with me...NBHHY, NBHHY, NBHHY!

[victoria]

Thinking "NBHHY NBHHY NBHHY" for you over here in Seattle.

[Kira]

The thing is, being pregnant sucks. And even when you know how lucky you are to still be feeling exhausted and icky, it's still hard to live like that.
And the anxiety doesn't help. Actually, the only thing that really helps is time. Hang in there.

[Lisa]

Thinking of you Tertia, I know it's so hard to calm those worried thoughts, I hope you can find peace any way you can. Just know that I, and a lot of other people, are pulling for you! :)

[pdxem]

I am also fighting the DBT's at the moment. I am 7 weeks 3 days and wont get another ultrasound for five weeks. gulp. I wish I had some great advice on how to avoid those thoughts, but I have no clue.

[Stacy]

Hmmm..."DBTs". I like that term. After 2 miscarriages, I really thought I was losing my mind thinking "DBTs" with this pregnancy! A lot can happen in two weeks between appointments! But also a lot can NOT happen. I just don't think there's any way to get rid of "DBTs" until you see/hear that heartbeat again. And who are we kidding? Emotional meltdowns are so fun, right? :-P

[yasmina]

Can't you rent a Doppler there in SA? I did it (in the US) and it helped, although my ob office is just 3 min walk away from my office. As I said before, I had a hunch about your little one - s/he is here to stay!

NBHHY!

[J from Ireland]

God, you poor thing feeling shitty. You are so right, no news is good news. Tthoughts and prayers to you.

[blackbird]

Hang in there, darling, I'm thinking of you...

[Anita]

I am with wyliekat...'you would be superhuman if you weren't having those thoughts.'

I totally loath the periods in between scans. Call me crazy, but I too had scans fortnightly, b/t's every other day and bought myself a doopler. Thinking of you.....

[camille]

Echoing the NBHHY mantra..... sending you all my best wishes....

[amy]

Hang in there Tertia. Every pregnancy is different and sometimes you actually end up with a baby from it, really ;) I know with your history these are scary times but I have to believe this will turn out for the best. Have you actually sat down and thought about having another baby?>?? And how does that make you feel? Yes dear, get comfy in the couch...

Wishing you nothing but the best Tertia.

[Kim]

First I thought the DBTs were the shakes due to giving up alcohol - ha ha. I sure hope this one works out.

[Jenty]

Hang in there!! A week is an endless wait, I know the feeling.

[Kel]

Oh my, NBHHY. You go, mom. Sorry you're feeling a bit under the weather. Are your tits at least fabulous again?
