I had a medical termination at 26 weeks about 4 and a half weeks ago - i know im not due af yet but i feel wierd... nauseaus very very tired. and very moody obviously all signs of being pg i also have been having pain in my left side like where my overy is.. (does that mean anything bad/good???)

but its totally not possible.. (TMI ALERT)ive only had sex like3 times since i stopped bleeding and it usually takes me like 6 months anyway to get pg...
im scared very very scared... i really wanted to get pg quickly but im nervous that im nauseous cos i wasnt nauseaous at all with my DD and this last pg i was very nauseous and the baby had triploidy. also, the pain is concerning me. although its more like pressure than pain.

also think im prob imaging it all.
help???

Sarah, I'm sorry you has to go through a termination so late. I had a termination for anencephaly at 12 weeks last year and that was bad enough.

The one-sided pain is more likely to be related to ovulation rather than pregnancy. And I know with a couple of my pregnancies I've felt tired from about 3w, but others I haven't, ditto the nausea: there doesn't seem to be any relation between how I feel and whether it ends up in a mc, termination or a live birth.

The thing to remember is that every pregnancy is different and symptoms have no relation to what's actually going on inside. More's the pity, it would be wonderful if we had an easy to dicipher read out like colour-coded freckles (purple spots means everything's still cooking, green stripes means the chromonsonses are all correct, yellow stars means no neural tube defects and so on).

Hang on in there and maybe take a test next week?
