Hi all
I've been reluctant to post in case i'm jinxing myself.
I've got a five year who we conceived easily. We've been trying for my second now for 2 and a half years with only one early/chemical in all that time. We were due to start IVF in March/April this year. However I'm now pregnant naturally and seven weeks along. No bleeding, no unusual pain just stretching and some discomfort from bloating and constipation/diarreha. Boobs painful on and off and occasion nausea but nothing really.
The longer this is going for the more confident I've been feeling but stupidly I've been keeping an eye on my resting heart rate on my fit bit. It climbed and climbed for about a week or so when I found out I was pregnant but now has been slowly ticking its way back downwards. It got as high as 82 (my pre pregnancy resting was 68-72). I'm now this morning sitting at 76.
Since then I've just been convinced that something is wrong and I know it's so stupid. Reading online the resting heart rate thing can be bad news or totally normal. It's not helping that i'm not feeling really sick and haven't at all this pregnancy. With my first I was so ill from around 6 weeks right through to 18 weeks.
I'm due to go for a private scan on 7th Feb but just wanted to vent and see if anyone had any reassurance. Should I chuck the fit bit!?
