Wow I’ve been super anxious the last few days too despite my early scan . Ive just got this awful feeling since the bleeding stopped and I’ve no other pregnancy symptoms at all . I know this can be normal I didn’t have any symptoms with DD1. .

I hope it’s just all our nerves especially for you ladies having had previous losses . Good luck for your scan @MrsT116 .

Thank you. These early weeks are such a worry!!! How long until your next scan babybump? Xxxx

I had my ultrasound today. I was told they see a fibroid and to mention it to my doctor because they will want to monitor the size throughout the pregnancy. She said it is pretty common and doesn't hurt the baby, but I am having a hard time not freaking out about it. Has anyone had/ know of anyone who has had a fibroid while pregnant? The baby looked good and had a heart rate of 158. We were also able to see the baby yawn. It's looking like we are having a baby girl so if I remember correctly ramzi theory said girl, if so it was correct. In the first pic the white horseshoe is the labia. Second picture is the nub indicating girl. Third picture is just a cute profile pic

So adorable!!! Seems so far everyone in this group is having girls! Hope I join on that train haha. I’ve never heard of those but I hope everything ends up being okay with it & it eventually shrinks!

@crazy4baby09 I remember a few ladies from previous pregnancy groups who had fibroids - never heard of it causing any issues for any of them. You can be sure that they would be clear with you if there was any danger, so try not to worry about it. Those pictures are great, can't believe she is already so big! Looooooove! Did you have any gender preference?
I'm still a bit in 2 minds about gender. I love raising girls so much that I am mostly hoping for a 3rd girl. But before having kids I always pictured myself as a boy mom, so I dont want to be missing out on that experience (and this is definitely my last baby, we just don't have a big enough car or house for 4 and I can't imagine cross continental travelling with more than 3). I guess I'd actually be slightly disappointed with either gender

 

[crazy4baby09]

@Bloblo that is reassuring to hear about the fibroids! I had always wanted another boy so that I would have 2 of each. But last March my mom passed away from cancer and since then I wanted a daughter so that I could name her after my mom. So going into this pregnancy I was happy with either one. My son was really hoping for a brother and he is a little upset that he gets a 3rd sister. This is our last baby so there is a little sadness that I won't have another son but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. My husband mentioned the possibility of adopting another son at some point so who knows. I just know this will be my last pregnancy.

Wow that’s crazy with the ramzi theory !! Aww look at the little tongue too ! Sooo cute ! Congratulations on your baby girl !!

Well my kids picked up a cold I’m guessing they got it when DH took DS2 to the hospital for his arm because we haven’t been anywhere else. Of course my DH picks everything up too so it’s just me taking care of 4 babies Luckily it’s just runny noses for them and they’re still in good spirits. My house is full of nasty tissues though

 

[crazy4baby09]

I'm sorry your family is sick Sander! Hopefully they will get through it quickly!

Went in today to file a police report on my soon to be ex-husband. Friday I go in to file a restraining order and next week I have my ultrasound. Until then I’m trying to figure what I can do for constipation.

 

[Sammyrose334]

Do you ladies feel pregnant?? I’m struggling with feeling pregnant. Some days I’m nauseated but other days I feel completely normal. Also any one getting a belly bump yet??

 

[Bloblo]

I get bouts of nausea that make it quite difficult to forget about pregnancy. I also have muscle aches and extreme exhaustion. I think my symptoms this time round is much much harsher than in any of my previous pregnancies, so wondering if it's possibly a sign that it's a boy?
Im plus size, so will probably still be at least 4 months before the bump is there.
I'm currently sat on the couch with my 18m old asleep on me, she has low fever and we don't know what is wrong with her, so just keeping a close eye today today.

 

[MrsT116]

I don't have any real symptoms yet other than sore boobs, but I think I'm a few weeks behind a lot of you xx

 

[MrsT116]

Ended up having an early scan today at 5+4.
Gestational sac and yolk sac but not fetal pole etc. Got to go back in a week for repeat scan.
Is it normal at this stage to not pick up fetal pole? Worrying now - nothing new there
Xx

 

[Sander]

Bloblo I’ve heard boy pregnancies can be opposite to your girl pregnancies in regards to nausea. But some people say they have exactly the same symptoms, so I think it depends! Headaches were always a big symptom for me with my boys.

MrsT - I’ve never had a scan that early but I think they’re usually more of a cause for anxiety than anything else because you can’t see a heartbeat yet. I think it really varies what you can and can’t see at that gestation. Have you booked a repeat scan? I would try and wait until 7 weeks as you should be able to see the heartbeat by then!

I feel like I have a huge bump lol. Luckily it’s winter so I can still hide it under clothes. I’ve told a couple more people and will tell my friends next week - but we’re still going to wait until early December to do the official social media post.

I would say it’s normal. I had one that early last pregnancy, went back a week later and seen baby with heartbeat.

Perfectly normal! My ob told me earliest to see fetal pole is 6w, and heartbeat is expected around 7w. So all on track for you!
