Does everyone feel stretching?

[Amos2009]

And if so, when does it start? I am starting to freak out. My first pregnancy that at least made it to 8 weeks, I was feeling stretching and pulling from the beginning I think. My last loss that didn't make it very far I never felt anything. And so far this time I haven't felt anything. I feel like this is going to end up just like last time. Sorry girls. I made it through yesterday being all positive, but today I have NOTHING positive in me.

Keep in mind hun that your possible all ready streached a bit. When i compare my pregnancy to my friend it is so different. I dont think that this is an indication to there being something wrong. Have you got a midwifes yet? Could you call her for some reasurrance. I called mine before i saw her for the 1st time. Most of the streaching does not start till the 2nd trimester. I no its hard, but try and relax. xx

Thanks LittleBlonde. I promised myself I would not compare this pregnancy to my losses, but it's so hard. I just feel like crying today....maybe I just need to let it all out.

I called my doctor AGAIN but the bad thing is I have to speak to the same nurse that told me just to come in on the 18th for my regular appt. Just like it was no big deal that I have already lost two babies......

i definitely got worse stretching pains with my first born than this time, but i assumed that it was because its like... done it before, you know? im sure everything will be ok hun but i totally understand how youre feeling. my symptoms with this preg arent nearly as intense as the first time. my two losses were so early on i cant really compare, which is probably a good thing.

 

[Amos2009]

Thanks Im Mi.....maybe since I have been pregnant twice before that will make a difference....who knows. I just so want this

i was the same. I even bled this time at the exact same point that i did when i had my loss. I wish i could say that things will get better. But i think that once we have had a loss the inocents of pregnancy has been lost as we no that bad things can and do happen. What we must concentrate on is that no 2 pregnancys are the same and there are many of us who (unfortuntly) that are in the same situation so we can be there for each other and help each other when we have our panics. I still panic now sometimes. xx

Thanks Little! I know you are excited though- you are very close to seeing your little one!!!

Amos, I know exactly how you feel right now. I'm feeling the same, yesterday I felt Really positive and today I'm totally bummed, I don't feel pregnant at all I just got done telling myself I need to find something to do so I can get my mind off of this right now.....
You had a Very strong bfp I'm sure evrything is going along great!

 

[Amos2009]

Wanta- we really need to be bump buddies But then again, I'm too scared to do that too- last time I became bump buddies with someone I mc right after. Gosh, I am so superstitious. What symptoms were you having that you are not now?

When I found out I was pregnant in November my ( . )( . )'s were so sore I couldnt stand it, and this time........ Not sore at all. I wasn"t sick per say but I just felt a little off, this time I feel just fine! I had my 2nd beta drawn yesterday and I get the results today so that will give me an answer in some sort. The only thing I had last time that I have this time is the fact that I have a hard time getting back to sleep if I wake in the middle of the night which by the way seems to be every night about 2 am. Its hours before I fall back to sleep..... I don't feel extra tired or any of that. I'm trying my very best not to worry but I admit sometimes its hard.

I didn't get proper stretching until 9+6, and blimey it hurts! Oh how I freaked out! Now my belly is starting to show more (but I have got a tummy anyway because I am a chubs!) so I guess it's doing what it needs to. Please don't worry hun, I really don't think everyone gets it early

Thanks....I am trying so hard not to think about it or worry about it, because I know what will be, will be. I guess one thing I need to focus on is that at least my boobs are sore. That's the only symptom I have.
Let me know how your test results come back

 

[WantaBelly]

Just got my results.. 1st beta on Tuesday 268, 2nd beta on Thursday 669. I don't know what to think because the nurse was like well they are doubling kind of fast She said they are doubling every 36 hours and normal double time is 48-72. Anyone have any idea what to think?? She said she will have the Dr. call me. I feel reassured because they are doubling like they are supposed to but I don't have any symptoms that I'm even pregnant..........Arghhh!
Ok that was my little rant for today.

 

[Amos2009]

Well yay for the results!!!! That is wonderful they are more than doubling- hmmm....twins?? Either way you have a healthy pregnancy!!!! Congrats!!!

 

[Smiler13]

Don't worry ladies, is normal not to have many (or even any) symptoms! Is hard not knowing what's going on.

Is so good wantabelly that they're testing your hormones - wish the NHS offered that - somewhere on Baby and Bump there is a thread with a link to "normal" hormone ranges for certain stages, and there is wide variation, your little one may just be having a burst of growth!

Hun, I haven't had any of that this preg, it's my 4th baby and last was a loss. I def had it with my 2nd (6yrs after my 1st) but nothing this time. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that it is down to already being stretched as such with previous pregnancies. Do ask your mw what she thinks tho.

 

[Amos2009]

Thanks Las...I am definitely going to be asking lots of questions when I see the doctor on Tuesday. She is so sweet so she will basically do anything I ask just to make me feel better!

 

[Sparklestar]

hey!! well as for the stretching, ive never had that, with my last one or this one so far, just a few tweaks in my groin every 4-5 days. i am feeling shocking, and have been signed off work sick. so amos.....when the sick kicks in you'll be asking for it to go away LOL. xxxxxxxxxxx
