Mari- I'm also achy all over, sometimes I feel like I'm 80 years old! My boobs especially are super sore and achy. It's amazing how your body everywhere knows you're pregnant right from the start!

Ladies I have an appointment on the 25th and I'll be 5+5, I'm not sure if they're even doing a scan since it's so early, but would there even be a heart beat by then?

Possibly hun. I think I read the heart starts mid week of 5 weeks. But whether they pick it up on a scan I don't know. So don't be worried if they don't still plenty of time.

6weeks today =) been freaking my self out the muscle that goes around and inside of my hip has been hurting not to the point I'm screaming but it's definitely making itself known. It's like I've pulled that muscle very odd not felt a twinge like that. 2 more days and I get to see the midwife and fingers crossed I'll be booked in for a scan.

Anyone else lower back feel weak? I'm really struggling just to stand up from sitting down?

Gina so much love to you! I hate seeing you go through this. I feel like you just need some answers for peace of mind at this point. Hope you and DH get in to even just talk to a doc you trust soon, and of course as always that your sticky bean is right around the corner

Luv I have some pains/twinges that were like what you described. I think it's normal as long as it doesn't last long and there's no bleeding.

Camp I've seen some women come back from late 5 week scans with news of a hb. It's there just not always strong enough to see yet. Hope it is for you though! How exciting!

Ciz I've had lower back aches on and off but that's pretty normal for me. I always get the same sort of pain with AF it just lasts longer/gets stronger. This is brief and pretty mild. I also have scoliosis. Wondering how my back will do as I get bigger.

Welcome Megan!

I feel very weak, achy muscles and just tired all the time. So not motivated to do much.

Thats exactly how I feel! lol So amazing how our bodies figure it out right away.

Leson - thanks so much. You are right, meds are sometimes just necessary. Glad you are finding the eating and peppermint tea tames the heartburn fast.

When I was in the hospital I told OH I hope we get a female ER doctor. Well not only did we get one, but she was also pregnant! It was perfect. She was the nicest ever. I told her my fears of Zofran and she said she had to resort to it during her first tri. Said studies aren't conclusive it causes birth defects and sometimes we have no choice but to take medicine.
Also told me to eat cereal loaded with vitamins if not able to take prenatal.
Well, I can't seem to eat cereal yet but wanted to mention it. Also the gummy vitamins are easier to take.

I'm basically a zombie still and all I do is sleep. Miss working out so much but even if I walk a few feet I get winded. Today is first day (so far) haven't thrown up! The weird thing is I haven't taken my Zofran yet.

Mari- everything crossed for you for tomorrow! Will they do a scan? How is the ms today?

Camp- at 5+5 they can't always hear the heartbeat, so don't get worried if not.

Wow, this is one looong January!!

 

[mrs unicorn]

campn - my many apps say the heart starts beating this week (you are one day ahead of me) whether or not it can be picked up I don't know. I guess it's only going to be a weeny little thing isn't it?

my boobs still hurt. I bought some non-underwired bras in a bigger size last week and that helps a lot. Just wish DH would keep off! He finds it amusing that they are bigger already! I'm feeling good most of the time until it gets to about 3/4pm and I'm constantly yawning. Luckily I work from home (self -employed) so I have been finishing at 4pm this week and dozing in bed till DH gets in. I don't want to be tired though, I really wanted to try and do some exercise everyday. I went out for an hour walk to the beach this morning - think evening exercise is out for the moment. And it's 4.20pm and I'm awake so I'm doing good today

I had a scan at 5+5 with my now 6 yr old and just saw an empty sac, not even a fetal pole or yolk sac, but 2 weeks later everything was there- so Id say go expecting not to see much, and if you do its a bonus 😃

So I'm just back from my first Mw appt and she's referred me for an early scan, didn't even have to ask. It'll come through post so hoping I will be close to 7 weeks.

Got my notes to fill in, and booking in appt is 17th feb if all ok. Suddenly feels real!

 

[mari35racz36]

Hope - No scan tomorrow. I think they will just do blood pressure, urine, weight. Sort of just all the routine check that happen at each prenatal. I have a scan booked for Feb 24 and I will be 12 weeks then. MS is horrible today. All i have been able to eat is dry toast. Glad to hear you have not thrown up today I want to have a female OB as well.

 

[DecemberWait]

I got my initial bloodwork back
15dpo:
101 HcG
14.3 Progesterone

I had a 13.9 with my daughter and I think the OB's threshold is 14.2 they are telling me I don't need to supplement with Prometrium (I did with my daughter) but I am SO close to the threshold I am going to at least demand they check my progesterone again to make sure it is going up along with my betas. Most OB's like a 15 or even a 20 so I still feel 14.3 is on the low side. That was for 15dpo which I know is still early.

Campn- I had a scan around 5 & 4, and the doctor was surprised to see anything. But we ended up seeing the heartbeat and even heard it for a second, although she was reluctant to try and worry me. She called the little bean an over-achiever.

Going in now to see what we can see at 7 & 5!

 

[MeganS0326]

Man this thread moves fast!

Just1more2 - thanks for getting me added! I did have a scan. The US machine she used was ancient so it was not much to see. She said she saw the yolk sac but couldn't find a heartbeat. It freaked me out a bit as I had a scan at exactly six weeks and saw a heartbeat so not seeing one at 6+2 is disconcerting. My dr is great though and she reassured me that between six and seven weeks it's hit or miss if they'll find the heartbeat so that coupled with the crappy machine reassured me. I go back for another scan on February 4th. Here's a pic of my little beanie!!!

 

[dreamer1316]

Lovely scan pic! Sure it was just the machine and they will fond it at the next one xx

So sorry Gina x love to you x

Well its officially starting for me today - been starving all day and just took one bite of my dinner and chucked it straight back up! Came totally out of the blue! I think i need to eat little and often to try to curb my hunger!

What pregnancy apps do you use? Ive got ovia x i feel so far behind, im the last edd in September so far 🙈

 

[MummaMoo]

Yep to achey back, yep to the tiredness - we had a meeting at work today and I was sooooo close to dozing! Last night I feel asleep on the sofa before 8pm. Mr Moo coughed loudly at 9pm to wake me up then announced "well I can't stay up and chat all night, as stimulating as this is, I'm off to bed!" Sarky monkey!
Not so much achey boobs, but ITCH!? Gawd, fear I'll get told off for lewd conduct, they way that have to be scratched at times! A discreet rub with the arm just won't do the trick!

 

[campn]

Emma- I use what to expect, it's my favorite and all the other apps don't compare in my opinion.

Mumma- Haha poor you! The fatigue is just too much especially if you work or have other kids to tend to. With my son the itching was so bad, boobs, tummy, thighs, but it wasn't until the second trimester, but now I'm starting to get all itchy again. My gums were so itchy right after my BFP, it drove me mad.

 

[xanzaba]

So bug's measuring 8 weeks and 1 day, strong heartbeat at 168, and no evidence for a blood clot. DH and I couldn't be more relieved!

 

[MummaMoo]

Yay Xan!! Gorgeous scan!

 

[campn]

Xan- Yay! That's a beautiful looking bean! So photogenic!

 

[dreamer1316]

Lovely scan xxx

 

[xanzaba]

Thanks, ladies. Is it to early to be a proud momma?
