Glovities I'm so sorry my love thinking of you. Xxx

Congratulations albaangel
I have a question - since we're all around the same mark. I guess by now we're all taking prenatal vitamins? I'm on pregnacare original. They're giving me terrible constipation and trapped wind! Which is then causing the most ridiculous cramps, and last night I had awful backache which didn't shift no matter the position I was in! Right across my bum/lower back! I've had absolutely zero spotting. But I'm going out of my mind with worry here.

Please say someone else feels similar to me ? I am so tempted to book an early scan but I don't want to tempt fate as I had one at the EPU last time at 8 weeks seeing a tiny baby with a perfect HB and then obviously 12 weeks the baby had died and the image will haunt me forever! I don't even see a midwife for the first time until Feb 7th, & don't know what to do between now and then!!! I'm so scared. Anyone?

Hey babybump! I am actually calling my doctor tomorrow for an early scan. I have had this weird dull ache on the lower right side of my abdomen. I would equate it to ovulation pain. I am 5 weeks and a couple days. Well it started at night 3 days ago and then again at night the next day. But last night I went to sleep and it woke me up twice and still off and on today. I'm worried and want piece of mind so I'm going to schedule something tomorrow. I havent had any spotting but I'm worried. It isn't the same pain you describe but it's still worrying me. If it is just constipation pains you are having try adding more natural fiber to your diet. Like 18-20 grams a day and see if that helps. I have ibs-c and that saves my life. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm having loads of pain with zero spotting as well, I think it's normal, it always goes away with... Gas release XD, I've also seen alive baby then dead baby honey, it's unlikely to happen again, many woman have at least one miscarriage, doesn't mean that it will happen again, although I am fully aware of the fear, I also have loads of fear, I think I will be in fear for the rest of my child's life, scared something will happen, but you should try and enjoy your pregnancy, even though I know how hard it is ❤️

 

[Babybump2017]

Jlg- let us know if you manage to get something booked in! I'm sure everything is okay. Keep us posted

Kittykat I think your reply was exactly what I needed to read, thanks so much girl! I just can't shake the feeling at the moment. Despite FEELING sick almost daily and actually being sick yesterday, extreme tiredness and no appetite, I'm even struggling this time to believe there's a baby in there. I know that's natural because we can't feel movements yet and of course haven't seen it yet. I hope and pray we both see different this time! Everyone keeps saying to me it's unlikely to happen again... I hope more than anything!

 

[kitty2385]

Hugs to you both feeling cramps and pain. I'm wishing you both the best and im sure it's all fine in there for you and tiny beans

I've managed to convince myself I'm having twins haha. No twins in the family or anything but my nausea is so strong and so soon and tonight I was sat crying my eyes out watching the voice! I've literally not cried in month and now hysterical over a tv show hahaha!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

So sorry to hear Glovities... as a mother of angels I can understand how you feel

Congrats Alba and welcome!

Jlg - I have had that kind of pain in all of my pregnancies, always on one side. Fearing it was ectopic I had early scans but all they found was a corpus luteum cyst. Most likely that is the cause of that pain since the corpus luteum is what nourishes the baby until the placenta takes over. I would get a scan for peace of mind but wanted to let you know ahead of time that it isn't always something bad

Babybump - I'm taking gummy prenatals and taking an iron supplement in tablet form because I can't swallow those horse pills of vitamins and the chewable prenatals with iron in them leaves a horrible taste in my mouth that ramps up my morning sickness. The iron tablets don't seem to make me as constipated either. Maybe ask your doctor about taking a probiotic... they are known for helping to keep you regular.

AFM I've had spotting again today. It was pink in the morning but now it is brown mixed in my cm. Having some cramping too but I almost always have cramping. Trying to take it easy today and drinking lots of fluids. Anyone else had spotting and everything turned out ok? Spotting is very unusual for me. Even when I miscarried I didn't have spotting until weeks after it was confirmed that the baby didn't have a hb.

 

[bumbleberry]

glovities, take care lovely

Kittykat...I understand the fear all too well and you're right it never fully goes away even as your babies get older! This is my 6th pregnancy and I decided straight away that I was going to enjoy it as much as I can and try not to worry over every little thing this time (easier said than done!) but I have found that by doing this time is passing a little quicker this time round so that's a bonus

Kitty2385... my OH keeps taunting me saying we're having twins or triplets! No family history of them, but keeps saying as I'm older there's a higher possibility?!?

Thank you! Congrats to you as well. I'm taking PregVit as a Prenatal. I have had a lot of gas and bloating.. pulling feeling in my tummy. I think a lot of this is natural but it is so easy to worry. Try to not think about it to much - I'm sure we'll be fine!!

 

[MrsKChicago]

If there's iron in the prenatals they could definitely be causing constipation and all the related pains. I just bought some gummy prenatals because mine aren't agreeing with me. Hopefully I can keep up with them better if I think they're dessert

Yes I at having spotting and it's really freaking me out!! I'm not getting any pains but I've had spotting 3 times now in the past 2 weeks. I have an erosion on my cervix which has caused me to spot randomly before but obviously now that I'm pregnant it's freaking me out!! I'm not seeing my midwife until thurs n I don't know what to do in the mean time... x

Hey BabyBump. I take one a day prenatal, 600mg calcium and a 450cmg of folic acid. My back hurts ALL THE TIME!!!!and I am always gassy
I have a cyst in my left ovary that's 8.8 x 8.1 x 8.4 cm and so I'm almost always achy on that side. I had a scan at 4wks because of the cramping on my left side and I was leaving to go on a long road trip and they didn't see an ectopic and of course they didn't see my little bean at 4wks. however they did tell me my lining was 12mm and everything looked good and healthy. I have had no spotting and just chalking the back pain up as growing pains and I know my left side aches from the cyst. This is my first ever pregnancy . I've tried off and on for 8yrs to have a little one so everything freaks me out and I'm so scared to lose my little bean I hope this makes you feel better. I go for my next scan on the 1st and I'll be 7wks

AFM: Yesterday was a great hormonal wreck! I started off with picking a fight with my BF and then when he called me to ask me what was wrong with me. I then started crying hysterically asking why is he yelling at me . He was so confused and was like why are you crying and I said i don't know I just feel like crying and he then says "my poor babe is hormonal" and apologizes that I have to go through that . I was also at work and the ladies found it entertaining . To think this is just the start of this

Have any of you ladies have any fits yet?

 

[Babybump2017]

Good luck ashnamber! Bet you can't wait to see a little peanut in there!

Update from me - I decided to call my GP this morning and she gave me an appointment for this morning. I told her that I've been having cramps both in my stomach and back. She said stomach cramps are normal it's just your bodies way of telling you it's making room to accommodate baby (which I guess we all know but it's nice to hear from a doctor!) and the back pain I was honest with her and said it was unbearable at times and she kindly reminded me that my uterus tilts back, which is putting great pressure on my back passage as everything expands so she put the back pain down to this plus the iron in the prenatals constipating me as I knew... she said as long as there's no blood which touch wood there hasn't been it seems okay. She said the fact I feel so ill with this damn chest infection tells her most of what she needed to know which made me feel better.

She's also brought my first midwife appointment forward from 7th Feb to tomorrow afternoon which has made me feel better too...

Hope everyone is feeling okay x

I am 8 weeks today based on LMP, my first drs appointment is in 7 days! I cant wait! I ovulate late in my cycle so I'm a little worried it may be too early to see the heartbeat on the u/s. She said they use a small portable u/s machine in the office and I got the impression that its not as good as a hospital u/s machine.. I have plenty of symptoms, no spotting and I swear, even though they say its not possible, I've felt little popcorn pops on my left side, so I think everything is okay, I just need that reassurance. I don't want to cause unnecessary worry if its just a little too early to get a clear picture, but I also cant wait any longer! What do you ladies think? Even if baby is, lets say, really only 8 weeks 3 days or something like that, do you think I will be able to see the heartbeat?

I have seen heartbeat a 6 weeks 0 days with both of my pregnancies you should definitely see a heartbeat by 8 weeks

 

[MrsKChicago]

I think you're good at 8 weeks. I had an US with my first around 9 weeks and there was no trouble hearing a heartbeat.

 

[kitty2385]

Omg I'm so grumpy! That's all I have to say really lol!

 

[bumbleberry]

Omg I'm so grumpy! That's all I have to say really lol!

Haha yep that's me too, I barely spoke to anyone at work today and my OH says I keep speaking to him in "that voice"

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Tess - My appointment was supposed to be last Friday but was cancelled and I am not able to get in now until the end of this week. I'm really concerned about the spotting. It is probably nothing but I won't rest until I see a little hb flickering on the screen. I really hope we both are able to get a scan and get some answers

Icegurl - You should definitely be able to see a hb by 8 weeks! I was able to see a hb by 7 weeks in previous pregnancies. Good luck! (btw I've also felt some little popcorn like flutters that are NOT gas... I think it is very possible to feel movement early if you're very in tune with your body )

Kitty - Me too! I barked at DH today for no reason really. He was trying to be nice but I just wasn't in the talking mood...

 

[melissaelaine]

Hi all! I am Melissa and am excited to join you all! I am tentatively pregnant with #2 after a frozen embryo transfer on January 9. My due date should be September 27 based on calculators I have found. I have had two blood tests and one more scheduled in one week. My first (a son who I call Peach on here) is almost 19 months old. We got pregnant with him after our first IVF cycle in September 2014. Wow. It doesn't feel like three years ago!

Anyway, I have a lot of catching up to do and am going to see if I can find the facebook group. I am still in my June 2015 facebook group and I love those girls!
