Happy Birthday Thejoie!!!

Beautiful scans ladies!!!

I can't wait for mine... Well, nausea and morning sickness is starting to come on stronger! Woke up at 3 am and started feeling sick... But this is probably a good thing. I heard its a sign that everything is going well, so fx things are going as they should

 

[wannabeprego]

Quick update! Well Baby A looked great today in the US! Baby A is measuring 7 weeks 1 day with a strong heart beat in the 160's!

Sadly Baby B just isn't going to make it! The US technician thought that she could see a yolk sac, but that was it, with no heart beat. Baby B is measuring 6 weeks right now, but it just isn't were it needs to be. I am a bit sad, but I am doing okay though, and I had prepared myself for this outcome and I had a feeling that it would end up not growing like it should.

For now I am just going to focus on the fact that I have one healthy baby that is doing great! I am going to be happy and celebrate this weekend with DH and the twins!

Here is my US pic from today and a bump pic I took today before my appointment!

I have a serious question for you ladies... For those of you who have never had a miscarriage before.. Do you ladies worry about staying pregnant At the beginning as much as those of us who have had one before?

This is my first time pregnant. I've never had any miscarriages and I'm always worried. Every time I go to the bathroom I check for blood when I wipe. Every cramp or twinge I worry about. My nausea kind of subsided a little bit so I'm worried about that. So yeah we definitely worry but you may worry more.

 

[Thejoie]

Yea I worry all the time. I think DH worries more than I even do. We know a few people who have miscarried so it runs through his head. I'm trying to enjoy it through my worries.

Wannabepreggo: I'm so sorry. I will be thinking of you

 

[Tui]

Sorry wannabe, that's hard

We found a second sac at my first scan with my son. Makes you a bit sad, but you have one strong healthy bubba in there so rejoice and be positive

 

[Flueky88]

Wannabe sorry about twin Beds but I am happy about twin A.

Gagrlinpitt I had a chemical. For most part not worrying just mainly before first scan. I know worrying doesn't help so I try to push it away. Easier said than done though.

 

[Weebles]

I worry all the time gagrlinpit.. I honestly believe I lost a twin my first pregnancy but as I hadn't had an ultrasound I'll never really know for sure. Either way it was a threatened miscarriage. This time I've had that subchorionic hematoma and I've been bleeding every single day for almost two weeks now. It makes it hard to relax or feel safe. The worry doesn't ever actually stop, even after they're born.

 

[Weebles]

Wannabe, So sorry.. I wish I knew what to say but I'm happy for baby A.

 

[Maries_s]

Wannabe I'm so sorry for baby B but happy that baby A is doing well.

Thejoie happy birthday!

Gagrlinnpitt: this is my second pregnancy and I worried for every tiny detail. First trimester is hard because of the constant worries and morning sickness. And as Weebly said, sadly the worry doesn't stop even after they are born.

 

[DobbyForever]

Wannabe I am so sorry for baby b. Excuse my ignorance, but did the gyn say for sure baby b won't make it? I thought I had read somewhere that sometimes one twin can measure behind a bit. I'm glad baby a is doing well though!

Gagr, I worry even though most of my losses were extenuating circumstances. So they were all possibly preventable to some degree. I was scared when I first got my bfp. I kept checking it and crying thinking I was delusional and my mind was playing tricks. I'm feeling better now. Idk how but wish told me that in this moment I am pregnant, and it worked.

Happy birthday, Joie!

Congrats on all the lovely scans! So many yesterday

 

[Mummafrog]

Ahh Wannabe, some bitter sweet news but you are right to celebrate your healthy bean congratulations xx I'm dying waiting for my scan and it's like four weeks away haha.

I think that everyone worries to varying degrees about losing in the early weeks, depends who they are and how they think about things. But I'd say for us who haven't had a loss before we're fearing something unknown and 'unlikely', a kind of generalised anxiousness. I do also look for blood if I feel wet and imagine going to the scan and seeing nothing etc but it's easy to brush off and keep being positive. For those of you who have lost your fears have some reality to them, real memories and probably feel a lot more likely in your brain, although they're not usually.
We all need to support each other to be optimistic in this early, tense time and try to enjoy every day of pregnancy, no matter what's in our past xx

How are we all symptoms wise? My boobs are bigger and fuller and they're already massive haha. I need to make sure I eat or I go dizzy and I get tired and need to sit down more but.. nothing unpleasant yet. I didn't get nausea till 9 weeks last time.

 

[Aphy]

I am so sorry about Baby B Wannabe but really hoppy baby A is looking good!

Gags,even though I haven't had miscarriages before,I know the reality is that it can happen to anyone at any time so I remain anxious no matter what. I fear baby stops growing at some stage and I only find out at a scan which means weeks of being blissfully unaware and making plans etc. but then I see loads of women who have a successful pregnancy so I know there is nothing I can do about it personally besides taking good care of myself.

As for symptoms,I've had nausea on off this whole week and my bbs are swollen. I have extremely high energy and appetite is increased

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Thank you all for answering honestly. I think my anxiety lies not only from having a cp previously, but I worked in ob at my parents office for five years so I've seen almost every scenario...

My symptoms: bad heartburn, nausea especially right when I wake up, very sore breasts And I feel like they are getting fuller (which I'm already a G so that makes me nervous lol), constipation, always tired, and my hip is sore on both sides.

 

[DobbyForever]

Mumma glad your body is coping well . My symptoms are 3am pee time, increased hungry and nausea (not as bad as it's been in the past but I did switch to six meals a day about a month ago so it helps with those), bigger and sore breasts, breaking out since bfp, mood elevation but loss of patience, forgetfulness, sense of smell (love how it only works for unappealing smells), my feet and back already hurt by the end of the work day. The dogs have become overprotective and needy. But overall feeling good. But I'm so early I'm sure it won't last haha usually week 5/5 is when my body says nope!

Gagrl :hugs I get it. I used to be anxious leaving my dogs st the pet hotel because I worked there. I know what kinda of things we didn't always report or what we skipped or how bad some dog fights could get, and I'm definitely a dog is my kid type. The worry is natural, and I hope you get reassurance soon. I like having betas done early because it brings a sense of security to me.

 

[Girly922]

My anxiety stems from losing our first pregnancy, and this being my fourth pregnancy, with only one living child so far. I know a lot of people go through a lot worse, I just wish I could've had one pregnancy without worry. It sounds awful but I feel like I can't be positive about this pregnancy yet until after I've had my scan and know that baby is okay.

Aside from that, I'm not feeling too bad today. I have zero patience though which isn't good when DD is in the worst possible mood!

 

[Thejoie]

We told our best friends last night. It was wonderful. We had an amazing dinner and went line dancing. I couldn't get enough water and I definitely felt like I got tired quicker last night.

I'm exhausted today even though I didn't drink- I feel like I did. Is there a thing as a food hangover?! I ate soooo much haha

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol thejoie yay! I told my best friend but she is the only one who knows and will know until I hit 12 weeks. Sounds like you had a lovely night out!

My first pregnancy was like that. I felt like I was hungover in the morning until I ate/has water. I actually developed a drinking problem when I lost it because drinking.helped numb the pain and the hangover reminded me of feeling pregnant. Took a couple years to get back it under control.

Gagrl hugs. My job connection was not fully cooked as it was 3am. When we see the good, thebad, and the ugly it is easy to remember the bad. Just remember how many more women can't in with successful pregnancies of women with previous losses who have their rainbow. But I know it's all easier said then done . And they always ask at appointments like they don't have access to my charts. I hate it. How many pregnancies before this? 4. So this is your 5th? Yes. How many live births? 0. Then it gets awkwardly silent if I get the I'm so sorry. I also have high anxiety disorder in general. But repeating that has really helped. That I can't control everything, but in this moment I am pregnant and will enjoy it. How far along were your other losses? Mine were all pre 12 weeks. I do find hot tests or betas helpful for reassurance. Though I decided to skip the early scan and just wait for the 8 week

 

[Aphy]

Has anyone experienced itchy skin as a symptom? My legs are itching badly since yesterday and I don't know what to do about it. I keep putting cream on and then it helps for a short period but it just starts itching again hours later. Driving me crazy! Don't want to take allergy medication cause I don't know what's safe to take
