I'm so sorry.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ladies just isn't meant to be! Xxx

 

[Sophie2015]

Help please!! I came down with a cold yesterday. Started running a low fever despite taking Tylenol around the clock. So afraid I'm going to have another mmc because of this. I'm 6+2 today. Thoughts? I'm panicked.

 

[TTC74]

Stay calm, Sophie! Continue to take Tylenol. If you are coughing or have a sore throat, try hot drinks with honey. A cold is not going to hurt your LO!

 

[Sophie2015]

Ok. Thank you!! It's funny. I'm an RN. I know this stuff. But all rational thought goes out the window when it's your own body and baby. Scan is Wednesday unless I can get them to see me sooner

 

[TTC74]

I can't wait for your scan! I don't get another one until my first OB appt on Aug 17th. I am getting a home Doppler tomorrow, though. I hope I can find baby's heartbeat!

 

[Sophie2015]

I'm also having sharp-ish cramps over my uterus. No bleeding or spotting. Hoping its just LO growing.

 

[CaliDreaming]

Ugh, colds during pregnancy are the worst! Those cramps and weird sharp pains are totally normal. I had those a lot during the early weeks of both my pregnancies, especially my first. Hang in there!

I've also mostly lost my breast tenderness. Reading that can be normal too but it happened with my first mmc and is freaking me out

Yes that is totally normal too. During the first tri there's a lot of fluctuation in those hormones so you really can't read too much into experiencing symptoms or not having any or symptoms disappearing. You might be fine one day and wake up tomorrow feeling sick as a dog. Or you might not experience any at all for the rest of your pregnancy. All normal.

With my pregnancies I really didn't have pronounced symptoms except for general ickiness around weeks 9-10 and the random aches and pains of pregnancy.

I hope your scan can help to put your mind at ease a bit. The first tri is so nerve wracking and especially so when you've experienced a loss.

 

[AngelUK]

I hope all is well!

 

[Sophie2015]

My RE's office called because I called the on call last night. Waiting to see if my RE wants to move my scan to this afternoon.

 

[Sophie2015]

Happy to report my cold and fever caused no issues. Had my first scan today and baby looks good with a HB of 126!!

 

[AngelUK]

How wonderful! So happy for you

 

[CaliDreaming]

Awesome news Sophie!! I'm so glad they were able to work you in! Everything is absolutely perfect. When is your next scan?

 

[TTC74]

Great news, Sophie!

 

[Sophie2015]

Awesome news Sophie!! I'm so glad they were able to work you in! Everything is absolutely perfect. When is your next scan?

Well my RE likes to do them weekly until 8 weeks or so but we will be at the beach next week so not until August 15. Almost 2 weeks from now. I've never waited that long between scans. I may die. Lol.

Thank you ladies soooo much for sharing this with me.

 

[CaliDreaming]

Hopefully being on vacation will help you keep your mind off of things until your next scan. This scan could not have been more perfect, so at least you have that to hang your hat on if you get anxious in the next two weeks.

We are here for you whenever you need some support! I can't wait until you are through your 12 week scan and bloodwork and can finally feel like you can start looking forward to taking home a baby in your arms! (although I know some degree of worry will always be there!).
