Think I'm coming up to 10 weeks, scan next week :)
I've been suffering with awful nausea and heartburn for the last couple of weeks but the last few days it has died down alittle it's still there at times but not the constant all day and all night that it has been, Now I'm worried thats everythings ok because it's not as bad, anybody else experiencing this?

With my first pregnancy I was constant sick And it started to wear off around 13wks with my second I was nauseous and heartburn that suddenly wore off around 9 wks I was worried but everything was ok u often hear stories saying that being I'll means the baby healthy but my 2 are fine

It varies for everyone, I didn't have morning sickness really this time but have had mad heartburn since my first scan, now I'm nearing my due date I'm having morning sickness & heartburn together! With my other 2 I had nausea till about 10/12 weeks then heartburn & no more sickness at all.
I think the worst of the nausea is supposed to wear off at around 12ish weeks anyway isn't it?
Hopefully you'll be reassured at your scan next week :)

I was very worrried about this too, and didn't stop worrying till after the scan, but all was fine (well, I'm always worrying, but I worried much less after the scan). The odds are that all will be well for you too, though of course there are never any guarantees. It is really fab to start to feel a bit better. At 9 weeks I had no idea how I'd ever make it through 40 weeks, but one day at around 14 weeks I woke up feeling like a brand new woman. Everyone's different of course, and doubtless I'll feel crap again by the end, but it's nice to have a break!

Everybody's different.

I didn't even suffer from morning sickness when I was pregnant.....

Around 10 weeks is when the placenta can kick in so your hormones settle i think so you can feel better, i certainly do this week, im 11+4 and have my next scan on Tuesday all being well everything will be ok :)

OMG I logged on as I am in exactly the same position.

I had a missed miscarriage at the end of June - worst thing ever. I am now 10 + 6 with our second pregnancy. I am really anxious this time around, so I went for a private early scan - it was amazing, heart pounding away. But I am now around the time that I was when little one's heart stopped beating last time, and I am massively anxious.

In my first pregnancy, I had no symptoms other than tender boobs - but this time, I felt nauseous (although wasn't sick) almost all day, was really repulsed by a lot of food, was tired and sore big boobs (i'm a petite person so feels very different). Until this week. Literally all my symptoms have gone away.

I have spent the last two weeks in tears!! Just all a bit too much. Unfortunately just found out that my husband is going to Norway for 2 months, on Monday! So he will miss the scan, and I feel like I really need his support. He was in Afghan when the miscarriage happened, and got flown home, but it just made it so much harder and I so desperately don't want that to happen again.

I saw the midwife this week, completed the initial papers, and she asked me about the earlier miscarriage - and I broke down - subsequently referred to counselling.

All I really want is a scan to see if everything is ok. It's reassuring what you say Veronicaspeedwell, about the placenta and hormones - I just so hope that is the case for me.

Does anyone know if we were to ask the midwife, whether they would arrange a scan, given the level of anxiety?

Will you not get a scan around 12 weeks? If not definitely speak to mw im sure she could arrange one for you x

Hi miaboo and littledink this was on discussion a few days ago as I almost started the same thread and found someone beat me to it and so it seems quite normal. I'm in the same boat as you and am half way through my 10th week.

My MW said that it can often happen as things start to settle down around 10 weeks. My sickness, sore boobs, headaches etc started to calm down at 9 weeks and then it came back for a few days before settling down again.
MW also said that if I was still tired then all was okay and that it's a hard time at the moment as there's no bump and you're waiting for the scan too.
Knowing that others have experienced exactly the same and then have good results at the scan has helped me not get so worked up. However, when I get worked up I don't feel tired and then I panic about not being tired - daft or what?! Have managed to relax now and felt the tiredness! Hope you can relax, but if you are worried, your mw may be a good person to talk to.
