Worried – 5 weeks and 3 days
by Photobug Mom ~ December 16th, 2005. Filed under: pregnancy #1.My temp this morning was 98.4 F, which made me really nervous. I know there won’t be anything I can do about it if m/s really happens. But I just can’t help it. I used my FMU on an Equater and it’s POSITIVE. The line is darker than last time as well. I hope my temp will go up tomorrow morning. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I’ve also been worried a lot about Vitamin D. I had been taking 1000IU of D for 45 days 5 weeks ago. I have reduced my intake to 400IU since then. Some articles say excessive D may cause possible birth defects. I encountered Organization of Teratology’s website on Internet and called them. I am still waiting for them to call me back. I also checked with my doc’s nurse this morning. She said I wouldn’t need to worry about birth defects.
I was so eager to get a professional opinion that I called my brother-in-law and told him my concern. I was planning to tell him the news on Christmas. Oh, well. He was really excited. As for my questions, he said I wouldn’t need to worry about with that kind of dosage. He also said I should take 1500 mg of Calcium daily from supplement.
I pray and I pray. I pray God bless me a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!!
