Hey Lindsay - I live in Hanover PA. Yes it feels good to be this far along but it has not come without worries. I started "leaking" in the middle of this week and was very concerned. Went to labor and delivery and cometo find out increased vaginal discharge. See you all will have an advantage because I will tell you what and around when I felt this or that. Also after my 1st trimester screening at 12 weeks a few days later I was grocery shopping with the DH and got a severe charlie horse type cramp in the middle of my uterus. Came home and put my feet up and tried to lay on this side and that side no luck. Went to labor and delivery just a little mixture of over exertion and not enough fluid intake that day.
Take it easy on the major housework during the first trimester. My hubby would not let me do any of the vaccuming or a lot of bending over. If housework can wait let it wait or kindly ask hubby to help you out. Just take it really easy on your body. It is going through a lot of changes right now. Also, make sure you talk with your OB or RE before boarding the airplane. Should not be any issues just let them know ahead of time. Swollen bellies...normal side effect from HCG hormone, the injections from the IVF treatments, pretty much everything. My RE told me that it will go away after the baby is born. Most of it is fluid retention from everything that your body has been through to get pregnant. NOw that you are pregnant you will continue to "feel"/"look" swollen.
Michelle - honey no worries. I thought something was wrong also because all I had was sore boobs, frequent urination, and tired. I felt crampy when I missed my first AF and when I missed my 2nd AF. More on the first then on the second. If you read my frequent posts from the beginning of my journey you will see how paranoid I was without symptoms. Okay ladies I will close for now since I darn near wrote a book. Talk to you all later.
