My Pregnancy After Mirena: Weeks 4,5 and 6.

After 5 months of trying, I finally got my positive result on February 3rd. Both shocked and ecstatic I told my husband immediately and sent him a picture of the test. Now, before I took the test it was like mommy intuition.. I just "knew". How did I know you ask? Different Things. My hair hurt, yes I said it. Like after you have had your hair up in a tight pony or bun all day and you finally take it down and shake it out.. the tight scalp feeling? Yeah that, times 10. Mind you my hair is cut into in a-line bob so a bun/pony wasn't the case. I ran my fingers through my hair and ouch. The bathroom became my best friend, way more then normal. Peeing every 10 minutes is a dead give away :)

With Christian, I had NO symptoms what so ever. Except peeing every 10 minutes, but that was it. Not hungry, nauseous, sore breasts.. nothing. So yes, every pregnancy is definitely different. Especially this one sheesh. Im hungry, angry, happy, weepy and swollen. Holy hormonal roller coaster batman!

The last 2 weeks (4-6) have been pretty much the same. Very tired, hungry, certain smells make me want to throw up, nauseous ect. However the one thing that has worried me is the intense cramping I have had from the get go. Almost like period cramps, very annoying. Not having that with my first I panic and am in the doctor or ER every other day. They did blood work and my hormone levels were rising how they should, everything is going perfectly. And to put the icing on the cake, I finally saw my little bean!! Friday, the 22nd, I went into the doctors office for the same cramps, and she wanted more blood work and an ultrasound to rule out an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage since it was way to early to tell last time. She showed me the screen.. " There it is, right there.. stay still, stop crying so you can see. There is your baby, we have a heartbeat!" Not crying wasnt an option, I couldnt stop. Happy tears of course, my heart and head are finally at ease. There is a little life growing healthy and happy in there flickering away :) I go back March. 26th for another ultrasound and typical prenatal appointment fun.
