TSH Test

10th June 2013, Monday

Baby beanie completed 8 weeks today. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) test results came out on Monday. Everything is normal - the lady on the phone said.

Had a lot of stomach twinges over the weekend. Went to the doc to show the report and to ask the numerous questions that I had about my changing body and lifestyle - like twinges in the stomach, body aches, tiredness, nausea (no morning sickness), aversions to foods, not feeling hungry and also riding a bike to work.

Doc said not to worry about anything - all of these are normal pregnancy complaints. All of the changes in the body are normal. She also said that riding a bike is not going to cause any harm to the baby unless otherwise there is really a problem with the pregnancy in the first place. In that case, they would automatically order bed-rest and / or less stressful lifestyle.

For the cough and cold that I intermittently have, she recommended steam inhalation. Talking to her put my mind at ease about a lot of things, more so because she was confirming what I read about in the book "What to expect when you are expecting".

Next milestone is at 12 + 1 weeks (12 weeks 1 day). Ultrasound scan on 9th July. Waiting to see you again, baby beanie :)
