Just entered week 10, had some spotting blood over the weekend which had me a little concerned so I moved up the OBGYN visit to Monday from Wednesday. Dr took a good look at each of the little bundles of joy...heartbeats are strong, both babies are right on target for size at 10 weeks and she couldn't find any obvious reason for the spotting no tears etc. She did say it was 'old' blood which I had noticed being that it was a lot darker and said really not to worry too much and was possibly from when the placentas attached to the womb, since I've been there the spotting has more or less stopped now.
Course this morning was going just great until after my shower and when I promptly ended up over the toilet not that there was anything in my stomach but I guess it wanted to heave anyway. After which I actually felt somewhat better so I shared an apple with James took my pills and left for work. Got to work and the apple promptly ended coming back up again.../sigh. Stomach has been feeling unsettled ever since but I did manage to eat some bread and hold it down.
Bit of advice I've learnt from today tho, keep a spare pare of undies handy, lets just say vomiting can have some unforeseen effects.
I'm less worried these days and the effects of the MS medication I was taking during the very early stages of this pregnancy. There is so little information and research out there on the effects of rebiff on the fetus that I'm more or less in no man's land, although from everything I've seen I think it's going to be ok.
I have a perinatal consultation this week, and week after next I look forward to the first trimester screenings.
I can also say I am not really enjoying being pregnant a whole lot...the tiredness, the nausea...the vomitting. Thank goodness I probably won't carry full term! I guess having twins can be a small blessing :)
