We're almost half way there. We're not high risk, so now we're just like everyone else and we only get ultrasounds once every 6ish weeks. It's been a bit of an adjustment, considering the fertility clinic checks you ALL the time, but regular OB is like 'call us if you're cramping or spotting'. We had that hemorrhage (just a bit of a blood clot near baby), which cleared on its own (and snagged us an extra ultrasound!) and was promptly replaced by a mild case of placenta previa. They suspect that it will also correct on its own, well check on it at our 20 week appointment. More taking it easy, no major lifting, etc. Normally, the 20 week appointment is the big one, but we have a head start on planning with that extra blood test. They were able to take a blood sample from me, and check the chromosomes of baby! We tested low risk for any chromosomal issues (less than 1 in 10,000 chance) and had the option to find out the gender.
I have been so lucky with the pregnancy, no morning sickness or weird food cravings/aversions. I've been incredibly exhausted, usually in bed by now, and have been getting really awful sinus headaches. Although, I think the headaches have about as much to do with the weather as anything else. I've been more careful with what I'm eating, as I binged a bit during the stress of the IVF cycle itself, and so I've only put on a few extra pounds. I'm starting to show a little, but for now I feel like I'm still not showing quite enough to for an obvious answer to 'pregnant or fat'. Close, though. Many people have been on one side of that question, so no one usually asks anyway :)
By the way, I didn't forget. Just a little bit of suspense...it's a girl <3
