The Side Effects of Pregnancy-Week 8

I haven't posted anything in a few weeks because I haven't even wanted to get on the computer. Everything was going great and then it hit me like a ton of bricks, nausea. This is the number one reason why I hate being pregnant because I fell sick all the time but never physically get sick. On top of that I have been extremely tired, body aches, and the most awful heartburn I have ever experienced. In a nutshell I am a ball of fun right now. I have been really nervous about this whole miscarriage thing because last time I miscarried in the 10-11 week. So I saw the doctor last week and he said he could check my progesterone levels, this gives a good indication if miscarriage might take place. The further you became in pregnancy the higher your progesterone levels become. He said mine were at 18 but they should be around 20. So no major cause for alarm, but to be safe he is going to put me on progesterone to raise my levels, thus reducing my chances of miscarriage. I am ok with this and I have actually not worried to much about it. I have learned in life that what is meant to be will be and no matter how I try to control things nature will do as it wants. So if something did happen again, of course I would be heart broken, but I would also see that its Gods will and he has a greater plan for me.
