I’m re-visiting the 6 week pregnancy information, after having reached this milestone a few days ago. I’m adjusting my tickers and pregnancy newsletters to my new estimated stage – 6 weeks today, according to the ultrasound scan.
I’m trying not to be too attached to the idea of being pregnant. I still have a hard time [...]

6w-2d: Ultrasound results
Posted in Tests, Updates on February 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I think I’ll call today “around the hospital in 80 minutes”.
I let my mother in on what was going on – with all the tests, I knew she would figure it out. We headed out for our appointments (she had one earlier in the day) together.
We arrived very early at the mega-hospital center where the OB/GYN [...]
6w-1d: Call from the OB/GYN
Posted in Updates, tagged pregnancy, pregnant on February 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well. In spite of my expectation of not even hearing from my new OB/GYN’s office for another couple weeks… the OB/GYN called me today.
She sounded more than a little freaked out.
“You had PIH and a clot before? Both your children were premature? You’re 40?!?”
Yes, I did have both children early – by C-section for medical reasons. [...]
5w-6d: Just call me spot
Posted in Pregnant thoughts, Updates, tagged pregnancy, pregnant, spotting on February 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The spotting has continued but there’s no true bleeding, and it has been tapering off. I feel like I’m tempting fate by saying that, but I’m trying to reassure myself.
I’ve been reading articles about spotting at all the popular websites, and all the reading has left me with one recommendation: “call your doctor and get an ultrasound”.
That would [...]
5w-4d: Seeing red
Posted in Updates, tagged pregnancy, pregnant, spotting on February 2, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Had a true bit of bleeding this evening, probably only about half a tablespoon’s worth.
Still, it was enough to make me panic a little, a bit of a shock.
It has stopped now, and I’m resting as much as possible for the remainder of the evening.
I’m sure my partner is also anxious, but he’s hiding it [...]
5w-4d: Spotting
Posted in Updates, tagged pregnancy, pregnant, spotting on February 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been spotting for the last 3 days. At first it was a mild discolouration and then it was some pink with streaks of red. Not enough to amount to anything, but still very alarming. I know that spotting can happen in pregnancies that continue on normally… it happened with both my kids.
Still, it does [...]
5w-2d; No morning sickness… yet.
Posted in Updates, tagged pregnancy, pregnant on January 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today I’m 5w 2d. The Pregnancy Calendar says I’m 37 days into my pregnancy.
I’m re-reading Vicki Iovine’s book “The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy”. I love this book; despite her sometimes wandering and image-focused musings, it’s hilarious, comforting and real. It’s also about an “older” mom.
She survived, I should, too.
No morning sickness as of yet. I [...]
4w-6d: Update

Today I’m 4 weeks, 6 days. The Pregnancy Calendar says I’m 34 days into my pregnancy, 20 days post ovulation. I’ve passed the magic 18 days post ovulation – the first of many “I’ll take what I can get” milestones that I’m reassuring myself with.
My pregnancy related accomplishments to date:
my significant other had to employ [...]
