April Diamonds!! [2016 Rainbows]

[ksierra44]

I didnt show until about 19 weeks with my last pregnancy amd that was with twins. Ive always had belly fat though.

Nausea hit me today. Kinda like a pit in my stomach. Annoying. The pain is gone so that's good. I have another HCG and progesterone blood draw tomorrow. no ultrasound scheduled yet. I feel so mixed with this pregnancy. Ive always wanted to be a mom but now i think i don't want to be but i'm already pregnant so what is up with that! ! I am convinced this pregnancy isn't going to last. Instead of freaking I'm feeling content. It feels so wrong

ksierra, its normal to thing that. It's a fear response. With my son I was TERRFIED that I wasn't going to be a good mom and that it was a mistake to get pregnant, and I honestly was afraid of the same thing this time, when I got my my first thought was, "How am I gonna handle 2?" but as soon as I saw my son the worry was gone for me, it was like the last piece of the puzzle had been found and everything made sense. And I feel like when I see the baby on the screen things will begin to fall into place.

That was beautifully said navy.

I had that SAME reaction today ksierra. I melted down to dh. All about how freaked I was,, how I wish I wasn't pregnant, how I was going to be a terrible mom etc. I think it's pretty natural reaction. Once I see the scan and know my baby is ok I'll feel better. I just wish I had some damn symptoms.

Hi girls. Been down with a terrible migraine and nausea. Skimmed thru today's posts so I know I'm missing a lot of people with this post.

Navy- Good luck tomorrow!!

Lala- Don't worry too much about your low progesterone. It is common and is easily fixed. Your hcg is great as you know. And all the research I've read says Dr's don't place much value in hcg after an ultrasound with a HR. Just have your progesterone redrawn in a week or so to be sure you are taking enough supplement.

My symptoms are even less today, practically non existent. The only real symptom I had was breast tenderness but that's completely gone. My faith in this pregnancy is at an all time low. I just don't know what to do. I wish more than anything that I was an optimist but this is just too much like my mmc now.

3 weeks ago my breast tenderness disappeared too. It was my only symptom. I freaked because it was also just like my other mmc's. And I'm also not an optimist. But I had a scan that next week and everythg was fine!! Try not to compare pregnancies as hard as that is to do. When is your next ultrasound?

Navy - good luck today! Fingers crossed all goes well.

Try to stay positive ladies! I know its really hard and I'm struggling with staying positive too!

 

[NDTaber9211]

Thanks Sophie. I feel like all I do is worry and complain. Sorry you ladies have to deal with it I can be so confident and optimistic for everyone but myself it seems. I'm going to work on my outlook.

Let us know how it goes Navy! Fx for you.

ladies, please, please try not to worry about "no symptoms." please.

i've had a mmc, too, and it's terrifying to worry about symptoms. with my mmc, i never had much symptoms. i worried, and then my worries were confirmed. but, also, with my son, i had NO symptoms at all. i just knew that at the ultrasound there was going to be nothing there. but there he was - a little beating heart, and he's here now, the craziest 2 year old ever. i had a symptom free, super easy pregnancy with him. the easiest ever. different pregnancies = different symptoms. stressing out and being negative will only hurt you. i know this first hand, as i'm a worrier, too. do some yoga, drink 1/2 glass of wine or beer, take a bath - it's going to be okay

I hope the scan goes well navy x

Worry is normal!! And talking about it is way better than keeping it bottled up. I worry daily. But I try to contain it by giving it a time limit. I'll give myself 15 minutes to worry about that day's concern then I try to put it away for awhile. It works for me. Everyone is different so find what works for you. I will worry this entire pregnancy because I see every week every little thing that can go wrong in a pregnancy. So you'll never bother me with your worries. But I'm hoping we're all worrying for nothing!! Big hugs

When did you guys stArt showing, either prev pregnancy or this one?? I am 7 weeks sat and there's no difference, my belly doesn't feel hard or anything! Am I abnormal lol

I started "showing" with my son when I was 9 weeks. This is just when I started noticing a difference. I am 5'0" and at 9 weeks I was 110lbs so I was super tiny. I started getting comments from family about me showing at 14-15 weeks.

 

[NavyLadybug]

Lots of happy tears today ladies!!! Baby is ahead by 3 days at 7+5, HB is 168, lots of wiggles and waving little arm and leg buds. I was so relieved I cried. The Dr had to give me tissues. Dr says the baby implanted on the left, meaning that this may very well be a little girl!

[ksierra44]

[NavyLadybug]

Good luck with the HCG and hopefully they give you a scan!! Would be awesome to see two scans in one day!
