Hi, wondering if I can join you?

Just found out I am pregnant today after having a negative test at 10 dpo. About 7 weeks gone, edd about 18th March next year. Bit shocked at the moment!

As this is my second, am slightly concerned about my symptoms. My main symptoms last time were really really dark nipples and morning sickness. This time I have had no colour change, nausea but no sickness and a lot of cramping. Getting worried now that everything's so different :$

I'm right there with you, my symptoms are totally different this time...last time I was so sick with morning sickness, I'd had it almost 2 weeks by this point last time, this time...no sickness, no nausea, just tired! I'm panicking about it too.

Glad im not alone then. I'm also quite freaked out about finding out so late, almost 7 weeks gone whereas last time was 4 weeks! Thinking about all the heavy lifting and glasses of wine I should have avoided

They say every pregnancy is different! I guess it's true...I'm sure those few glasses of wine haven't done any harm, in fact I've read multiple studies suggesting its perfectly safe to drink occasionally during pregnancy with no effects to the foetus..of course, I'm not advocating drinking, but just reassuring that you haven't done any harm. Lol

Hope this is an Easy pregnancy for you symptomwise, it's hard being pregnant with a little one...lol...the benefit of finding out a bit later is that you've got a little less time to worry about it!

Hoping one of you can reassure me or help me out! We had an early scan at 5w6d and saw a tiny baby measuring 3mm with the smallest little heartbeat. I felt really happy and reassured immediately after the u/s but for the last week I've been wondering about what the tech said to us. When she saw the heart she guessed it had only started beating like 6 hours ago because it was so small (and DH remembers her saying it wasn't super strong). The baby measured exactly what I thought I was based on ovulation (although DS measured a few days ahead at my 12week u/s with him and I thought this baby might too). My HCG levels were 48, 000 which is in the normal range for 6 weeks but on the high side. I'm just wondering if I should have seen more based on my HCG levels and if I should be worried that the heartbeat not being really strong. I won't have another u/s until 12ish weeks which feels like forever away.

I hate the first trimester. I'll feel so much better when I can feel the baby moving.

Oh don't worry, seeing a heartbeat that early is a great sign!!! I had a scan at 5w4d and couldn't even see the yolk sac let alone a heartbeat, I just had my 7w3d scan and I saw the heartbeat just pumpin away. You sound right on track! Congrats

Yay dannon! Congrats on the twins!! That's so exciting!!

I got my "real" BFP on July 20th. I had a chemical a few months ago but other than that it's been 3 years of no positive tests, no nothing... so I'm in maaajor shock right now. I have a hard time believing I'll be lucky enough for this bean to make it (I'm pessimistic). I'm going Thursday the 2nd of August to confirm pregnancy "officially" and get everything going. If beanie sticks it out, our due date -should- be March 27. Figured I'd join you guys to be around people who are near-ish to my due date so I don't feel so alone and freaked out so hi guys....

Dannon, Congrats on twins!! How exciting for you
Welcome to all the new ladies, wishing you all happy & healthy pregnancies xx

 

[AmyB1978]

Dannon, Congrats on twins! Exciting news!

Anna, I can relate to your post. I don't have another child and am feeling so guilty about being so negative regarding how I am feeling, especially since we just had a loss in May, I feel like being negative about anything re: this pregnancy will make the "karma" think I don't want this baby. It's not that I don't want this baby, and not that I am not thrilled to be pregnant... it's just hard being exhausted, nauseated, and hormonal/emotional all the time. Not to mention the worry, I am so so so scared something is going to happen... trying to think positive and embrace every moment I have with this little monkey but it's hard.

I went to bed crying last night over some stupid financial stuff and who knows what else, I think mainly I was just tired... and then woke up this morning feeling better until I saw a picture of my niece (who lives 26 hours away) she is 6 months today and when I saw her I started crying all over again cause I miss her. Hormones!

I had a missed miscarriage last yer, blighted ovum discovered at the 12 week scan.
When I went to the doctors to kick things off this week I was a bit strung out so she thought it was a good idea to make sure history was not repeating itself.
Nice that she realised I needed the peace of mind badly, as it was I was terrified going for the scan. So happy it was good news and saw the heartbeat.

Hello everyone, after stalking this thread for a few weeks I think it's about time I joined in. :wave:

I'm 9 weeks exactly today, due 2nd March, had booking in appointment last Monday and got dating scan on 15th August.

It's my first baby and I go from feeling so excited I could burst to oh my god!

Not doing too bad symptom wise but the sickness/icky ness has really ramped up over the past 3 days.

 

[Laws1986]

Hello, I too, am expecting a March baby. I am new to the site and just recently found out I was expecting. After the initial shock has passed I am starting to get excited

 

[sportysgirl]

Welcome Beckzter and Laws.

Congratulations, heres to a happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[Beckzter]

Thank you for the welcome, I'm looking forward to sharing my jouney with everyone.

Watching the Olympics to try and keep my mind off the sickness.

Welcome

I went for a spa day today with my friend, lovely massages and a facial the lady was lovely and chatted away about the baby (I had to say I was pregnant on a medical form) and was careful not to use too much pressure on my lower back. It was such a relaxing day and was really nice to be able to speak openly with someone about the baby - she is the first person I've spoken to about it, other than OH and obviously you girls made it all seem more real!

Just want my scan date now!

 

[bkay77]

Finally caught up on the thread. Its hard for me to be on the computer due to my severe nausea and headaches. The screen makes it 10x worse

Im so sorry for you ladies who had losses. Ive had a miscarriage, I know how hard it can be. Stay strong and I hope you get your next BFP quickly

Congrats to everyone who had successful scans! I had my second one on Friday. I was supposed to measure 8w2d, but little one measured bigger at 8w4d. My 6 week sonogram measured perfectly with my ovulation date, so I was surprised to see this one 2 days off. But the heartrate looked amazing at 167

Anyone found any natural nausea remedies that is working for you? Seems eating is all that helps me. I have to eat every couple of hours, I can feel myself gaining too much weight. ugh

 

[Stelly]

I got two early scans because I had multiple miscarriages before and was taking clomid to conceive this cycle... but I think its pretty common for them to due early scans if you are unsure of your conception date (ex: PCOS, long/irregular cycle)

 

[wookie130]

bkay77, I'm the same way. If I'm hungry, then I can feel the nausea kicking in...and really, I feel like I'm hungry constantly. And I'm not craving healthy foods, either!!! I know I've already put on a few pounds.
