hey all,
i had a greay holiday weekend. i'm thinking it will be one of my last for this summer. i am still feeling good at 4 weeks. i will be 5 weeks on thursday and i am hoping to be OK until 6 weeks but preping for the worst. i will get the results of my blood work tomorrow. i am so worried that something is wrong with the baby. the are checking my hormone levels to see if the pg is healthy. i almost don't want to know if i am going to m/c ahead of time. i quess if my homone levels doubled things are good. i can't sleep. i'm so worried about so many things. i want this baby to be OK SOOOO bad but on the other hand i'm terrified of hg. this baby was a surprise but i love it and want it with all my heart. i also know that if i m/c i won't have another baby. i am used to the idea of 4. now i am almost countng on it. so anyway, i will post tomorrow and tell if this pg will last.
my questions are...how much b6 and unisom is OK i am taking 200mg total of b6 and no unisom yet. i am also taking folic acid and not sure how much of that either.
also how much zofran when (and if) the time comes? i was also wondering what you all think about zofran? i mean, it does help reduce the vomiting so that i can keeptiny amounts of fluid and food down BUT i am still a nasty hg mess due to the horrific nausea that the zofran doesn't touch. the doudle edged sword is that because the vomiting is reduced so my dr. tends to blow me off. sometimes i feel like i shouldn't take the zofran until he can see how bad i am and give me the fluids and care that i need to help with the nausea. the amount of food and fluid i can keep down is not enough to keep up my strength. especially this time to take care of 3 kids. it is enough to stay alive. i know that some hg woman here would love that but i still feel like it is unacceptable. i'm not sure what i should do? any advice would be great.
thanks so much and may hg have mercy on us all,
kim
