One in a Million Uterus

A mother of two adopted boys, I have a unicornuate uterus and I am on a journey to see if it can carry a child.

Name:

I was diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus in January 2006. DH and I decided to follow our hearts to the adoption of our two sons. Now our hearts are guiding us towards fertility treatments.

19w

Woot! Five more weeks to viability! And only two more days until my BIG u/s.

Nothing much going on. Just being uncomfortable in my body. I'm so used to trying to cover up my belly and keep anything that might be sticking out, sticking in. Right now I am chillin' in my pj pants and my poor belly is hanging over the top and sticking out of my (non-maternity) shirt. I am not feeling that great in how my body feels. I think I look okay, but just don't feel like it feels right... if that makes any sense.

People I know tell me all the time how good I look. I am not really sure what that means. I don't feel great, mostly still trying not to throw up and trying to find energy. Do I normally not look great? Are they saying it because I don't look too big yet? How big am I supposed to look? Most concerning, why do people only tell pregnant women that they look great all the time? Why don't people tell non-pregnant people randomly and often that they look great? I think I might start a new trend of just complimenting people how they look all the time.

I started taking Zantac as recommended by Dr. Jim Carrey. The good news is that I haven't had any heartburn since I started taking it. My heartburn would always flare up close to lunch and get to the point that if I didn't take some Zofran, I would end up throwing up stomach acid. Same thing at night. I was hoping that getting rid of the heartburn would get rid of the last of my nausea. No such luck, which is the bad news.
