Ah, the first tri II 12.2.08

They say morning sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy and having it reduces your chances of m/c. All these statistics are making my head spin. I mean, having morning sickness itself can’t possibly reduce the chances of m/c. Having a healthy pregnancy, which commonly results in the amount of hormones that cause m/s makes it less likely that you’ll m/c. The friend that had the m/c, we'll call her A, had no m/s but neither did my other friend B who had a healthy baby. I can’t tell if I have it. Its one of those things where I feel like I would be able to tell. I am “only” 6.5 weeks so it’s possible that it hasn’t hit yet. I do get pretty queasy if I don’t eat for a long time. I think I have less of an appetite. But nothing obvious, no puking, etc.
I’m scared not to have an u/s until my 12th week. Mostly because the window for termination is closing at that time, I won’t have much time to think about what to do if things don’t look good ‘cause I’ll be on the verge of announcing the pregnancy or having it announce itself (if it hasn’t already).

Work blows, I’m always in a bad mood, except I like hanging out w/ friends and I like xmas shopping and walking the dog (tho I’m increasingly intolerant of waking up so early, I am NOT getting enough sleep). My boobs hurt a LOT. We started taking pictures for the pregnancy progression. I’m craving weird salty fatty foods like buttered toast and pizza or anything w/ melted cheese. It’s so strange. I’ve gained a couple lbs which I think is bad ‘cause I’m not supposed to gain yet. At least not much. Ab is still firm, lots of heartburn.
Being on 25mg of Zoloft hasn’t been so bad, thankfully. I’m getting over the little spastic frights I had when I first went down. I don’t know about going off completely tho, I’m going to wait until 2d tri. It seems so far away, like time is just crawling. Every day, every hour w/o bleeding or cramping is an accomplishment. This is crazy.
