Waking Early

All is still fairly calm and quiet– or so it seems. In reality, your little bundle of cells is now an embryo growing a neat little umbilical cord, while your body is getting ready to start working on building the placenta. You’ve probably already noticed your swollen tender breasts, although you might think it’s just due to your period at this point.- BabyGaGa

Steph, testing hormone levels is an early safe way to see how the pregnancy is going. If the levels are low then the pregnancy may be one that wont last. If the levels are unusually high the woman may be pregnant with multiples.
I suppose they have two levels taken to be extra sure that the first one was accurate. That’s about all I know.

I put a babystrology ticker on my main blog on the Who Am I? page because for some reason the coding doesn’t work on the free wordpress blogs. I love the ticker, it’s uber!

Tomorrow hopefully I’ll pick up the labs and do the first one. That’ll probably mean another post on here. I’m sure it’s just like any other bit of lab work. They didn’t tell me to do anything special like for the glucose test I took near the end of my pregnancy with Deeders.

That’s all for now. No cramps today!
