I was so sure I was going to start having nausea at this point but it never came. So of course, that made me nervous. But when I had my blood drawn again and my HCG levels were 2,417, I knew everything was fine!!
During week 5, I had an excruciating lower left back pain, almost in the upper buttocks area... almost felt like a kidney stone. I am thinking now it was just that little bean up in there getting all cozy for the next nine months. Already a "pain in my ass"... must be a boy? HaHa j/k. So, naturally, I was really worried about every ache and pain and didn't sleep well. My boobs hurt and were getting large, and I did notice a little reflux-like issue after big meals. Nothing major though.
During week 6, I had a major aversion to anything dairy, especially yogurt and ice cream... WEIRD! Because if you know me, you know I love ice cream! Still, just the same symptoms I have been having. Anyways, I went in for a quick ultrasound to make sure baby was doing ok, and we saw a sac and a little bitty white blob, and then the pulsating... the ultrasound tech said, "Oh there's the heartbeat!" We were relieved! I still couldn't wait to HEAR the heartbeat, but that would do for now!
I will post some pictures once we have a working computer!
