Had first prenatal appointment today with Dr. H. Joe came along and was just about as nervous as could be the whole time. She did an internal exam and stated that I was no further along than I know I am. Duh. I am not entirely stupid about these things. They took blood and we spoke about my new severe symptoms: I.E. fainting cold out, itchiness and extreme thirst. She said it was probably all due to ‘new’ material that my previous pregnancies did not contain. They called me later with results from my paps- some minor infections that were cleared with meds.

I was exhausted and we slept most of the day afterwards. I have been having hints of nausea in the mornings and whenever I am around food. I detect the vegetarianism hitting soon. I have also been spotting mildly- but brownish-pink- and very light, some days. It happened first a couple days before the appointment, then afterwards- probably due to the internal exam.
Today it seems to have stopped. We shall see. I could never duplicate it, just with the first wipe and then nothing after that. I was treated for the infections with samples from Dr’s office.
Today is May 09th 2008, Friday. I feel like shit. I am having mild to uncomfortable cramping in my lower abdomen. No spotting. I am irritable and nauseated. I cannot think of anything good to eat and whenever I just eat something, it feels like it is going to come back up. I have had headaches every day in the afternoon for weeks now and I am exhausted and thirsty.

I cannot drink much more water because that is really most of what I have consumed today and it just is not sitting in my stomach well. Go figure. I have also been urinating like a racehorse the last week or so. Getting up five or more times during the night and constantly during the day. This is something that had never happened before during any of my pregnancies….again, different material = different symptoms. Going to have to get used to that.
