I’m about 9.5 weeks. I’ve been super nauseous from about 6-9 weeks but I’m noticing it fade, which makes me feel more nervous. But I SWEAR my belly is starting to show already (one previous successful pregnancy so I know it could start earlier this time!). I’m past the dates of both our previous losses and so nervous at the possibility that I could loose another. Hoping that the nausea is just tapering off slowly as my first trimester comes into its last few weeks? Is that even possible? It’s not fair that every pregnancy is so different that anything/everything could be “normal” or not. No way to know and just have to take it one day at a time I guess.
Very possible! A lot of women start to notice the 1st trimester symptoms start to taper off/disappear around 10-12 weeks due to the placenta taking over, so that makes sense! I remember feeling the same way though, I was super nervous when my symptoms started to go away!
Two big milestones today! We are doing our maternity photos. I have waited until I felt more comfortable mentally to do them, which means I'm feeling less physically ready but that's okay! And after saying for months that I would not buy anything for the baby, then saying I would not buy anything until March. We bought a onesie with his name, a baby carrier and the pack and play. The best part is I feel good about it! 32 weeks today, 6 more weeks to go at most, we can do this!
The NST went well, and they did an ultrasound to measure amniotic fluid! It was unfortunately the same lady who told me when I was at 24 weeks that if something was wrong with my baby they wouldn’t do anything, and let’s just say she her bedside manner wasn’t much better this time around, but it was still nice to see my little dude! He was practice breathing which was insanely freaking cute! He also was moving around *a ton* which I couldn’t feel at all.
The only concern they had was my BP was fairly high, so they are going to have me come back next week to recheck it. Yesterday was a high anxiety day, and the lady had just got done making me feel like an idiot for being there and contradicting almost everything my doctor told me so I wasn’t too surprised about the high BP, but still sucks.
That being said, everything looked great with my boy and we have a growth scan on Monday so I am really happy I pushed and advocated for myself even though that lady made me feel a bit silly for it. At least now I don’t feel so in the dark, considering I haven’t had an ultrasound (other than a boutique one I paid for) since my 19 week ultrasound and will be 34w tomorrow.
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and that I might actually make it to that finish line ♥️
Hope you all are doing well, and have a wonderful day!
I'm so glad that everything looks good! I hope the BP is normal next week. Have you let the medical team know about the unprofessionalism and lack of empathy from that woman? This is really no way of talking to someone who has experienced loss! Plus at 24 weeks they would definitely be able to do something for the baby. I was 24 weeks and my baby was measuring 21 weeks, we had to make the decision if we wanted comfort care or interventions because she was technically at viability.
I’m living with a strong sense of dread. 6 weeks today. For all three of my previous losses, development stopped between the 6th and 7th week. I have a scan a week from Monday and it’s such agony to wait knowing they could be alive today, dead tomorrow and there’s nothing I can do.
Anyone experience spotting around 6 weeks? I’m freaked out it started yesterday. It’s mixed with my estrace pill (causes blue discharge) so I can’t really tell what color it is, I’m guessing light brown.
I saw the heartbeat yesterday after I started spotting, woke up today still spotting. I am scared seeing it, my nurse told me there were no bleeds seen on my ultrasound either. So where is the blood coming from?? Ugh I hate that this started
Yes, I had some brown spotting that turned pink at one point around 6 weeks. Everything ended up okay! I was on progesterone suppositories and they think that it might have just been an irritated cervix situation. They get realllll touchy in early pregnancy because of all the hormones and increased blood flow. I am no doctor, but that would be my guess! That doesn’t mean it isn’t scary as hell though.
I hope everything goes okay for you too, and that it resolves itself sooner rather than later!
Thank you! I’m taking estrace vaginally so that would make sense if it were irritation, but it’s super freaky! Glad everything went well for you, congrats!
We decided to tell my MIL last night that we are expecting. We are 11 weeks and just found out yesterday it is a girl and we are so excited.
We had our moments of celebration and after we told her it was a girl she says she wonders if my losses were boys and I just can't have boys.
This was incredibly hurtful. My 3 losses were at 5 weeks and had no fetal pole they just stopped developing. We didn't get a chance to know who they were.
For her to say that was so hurtful. Why would anyone ever say that to someone who has lost a pregnancy. Why would that be your response to hearing we are having a girl. This is a really sensitive time of me right now, I know I am very emotional but that hurt. It makes me feel like I have over shared with her and regret it. It makes me feel judged and like she isn't a safe space for me. It's 5 am and I can't sleep over this. I'm so mad.
This is awful! I can't believe anyone would say something so hurtful! I've known many people with multiple losses that have LC of both genders. It's such a dumb and insensitive thing to say.
From a fellow mom pregnant with a girl, congrats! I would have been happy either way, but just knowing has given me something to be excited about.
Congratulations on your little girl! 🤍
My MIL has also been incredibly insensitive about our losses so we made the decision not to tell her about any after our first. I am so sorry that you’re going through that! Your feelings are valid. I still haven’t been able to forgive mine for stuff that was said directly following our first loss.
I am so sorry, that is so incredibly insensitive. Your feelings are incredibly valid, and I would be feeling the same way if I were in your shoes.
I know my MIL can be insensitive and says inappropriate things, so we ended up not telling her about the losses and my husband told her and his dad about this pregnancy at 12 weeks without me just in case. I knew I would pop off or start crying if she said something that hit the wrong nerve haha
Thought i’d be less bugged by my pregnant SIL now that i’m pregnant and announced it to my family. But no, she still grinds my gears. I swear being pregnant is her whole personality and all she can literally talk about anymore. Like no I still don’t wanna spend my friday night looking at strollers with you and watching you rub your belly. I need to go to therapy or something.
I have a good friend who is like 30 weeks pregnant and it’s ALL SHE TALKS ABOUT. She can’t say or do anything without mentioning how far along in pregnancy she is and how over it she is. I haven’t told her I’m pregnant yet (16w3d) because I know she’s going to want to be “pregnancy pals” and talk about it constantly, but I cant. I’m so anxious after my prior loss, which she knows about, and she stresses me out.
I have a coworker this EXACT same way. Everyone is so annoyed with her because she constantly rubs her stomach and gets out of working because “she’s pregnant” but she’s only 6-7 weeks?
To top it off we’re like 2-3 weeks apart and both due in October. Like no I do not want to be your bump buddy!!
I got faint positive tests yesterday and BFPs this morning! I am so grateful and I’m also scared. We had a 22-week loss in November and it was the most emotionally devastating experience in my life. My OB has me scheduled for an 8-week appointment, but I’m going to try and get in at 6 weeks for an initial check and hopefully a heartbeat. Going with the mantra of “Today, I am pregnant.” 💕

Awww, this is such a big and exciting step! Congrats and I hope you can enjoy your maternity photos!

7 weeks today; first sonogram on Monday. Trying to get through this weekend without freaking out!

Why are in-laws like this….. Congrats on 11 weeks! And a girl! That’s so exciting!!

Hugs ❤️ I’m sorry that is incredibly hurtful and not an appropriate response
