Symptoms disappeared

[jellybean218]

Hello I'm 7 weeks and 4 days today and have had super sore nipples (this and fatigue have been my only symptoms really and just a dull sick feeling all day no actual sickness) and today I've woken up and my boobs feel completely normal and I'm a little worried as I had a loss last year and I'm terrified the same is going to happen and I'm analysing everything. I guess my question is, is it normal? Has anyone had this and gone on to a successful pregnancy? Thanks in advance x

Hi all
I think I have done far too much reading on mmc as I am now totally stressed out and convinced that's what's happened. I have had the very odd twinge these last few days but no symptoms at all otherwise. This waiting is just awful. How ironic that I am willing on a bit of nausea! Hope everyone else is okay x

Hey @agteacht I did the same google is the worst thing! I convince myself I have everything. Honestly stop googling and try to relax (I know that's easier said than done) but you'll only stress yourself and that's no good. Honestly I think an early scan will put you at ease so much x

Hi jellybean I'll try to stop googling! Booked a private scan for next Saturday morning x

Hi @jellybean218 and @agteacht I had my early scan today at 8+3 and all looked good. Baby was visible and we heard and saw a heartbeat, which was brilliant and reassuring for about 5 minutes! However I am now panicking that I have harmed my baby by having the early ultrasound and it’s not helping that I have mild but unusual stomach cramps. Do you think this is normal after an internal scan? Did you have any cramping @jellybean218? Thanks

That's really brilliant news for you! Big congrats!! I really don't think you could have harmed it. So many people have early scans. Please don't worry and take comfort from the heartbeat! X

Thanks @agteacht best of luck for yours next weekend. At least if you have a bit of tummy pain afterwards you can be reassured that I think it seems to be normal (have done a lot of googling). Warm bath has helped. I suppose it’s hardly a shock after being poked and prodded around inside at such a sensitive time. Just to reassure you though it didn’t hurt and it isn’t hurting now - just a bit tender maybe feels ever so slightly bruised. And it was amazing to see the little baby and a heartbeat! Feels so surreal I am not sure I have quite taken it in yet because I was so incredibly nervous and worked up about the scan itself!

Thank you very much and if I have stomach pain afterwards I will definitely be reassured!

I think it's totally natural, as you say could be slight bruising. More than likely fine tomorrow or just completely unlinked.

Why did they do internal can I ask? I was sort of hoping it was external, just because I'm squeamish like that. I've had the internal before for PCOS scans so I know it's okay just a bit ugh to start with! Did you bring your husband/boyfriend with?

It is really exciting and lovely reassurance for you, just think you have waited 4/6 weeks (however long since you found out), you know all is okay so far and now you have only another 4 weeks or less until you have another scan ❤️

Ha and @hopingandprayingthistime don't laugh but I had weird cramps the other day after having coffee, I know you shouldn't have much coffee but then I started getting paranoid about that too! I think it's so easy for us to read something into everything that happens x

Thanks they do internal due to it being early - I think it allows them to see more. Not sure when the cut off is for internal / abdominal. Perhaps you could ask them to try abdominal first and then go internal if they need to? The person today though just said right because it’s 8 weeks we’ll do internal as that will allow us to get a better look at the baby. How far along will you be? Yes my OH was with me - it’s all done very professionally / discreetly - not embarrassing. Best of luck I will be thinking of you.

Hey @agteacht @hopingandprayingthistime I'm sorry I haven't replied I've had such a busy day! And bickering with the Other half. @hopingandprayingthistime I think it's totally normal to have a bit of cramping when you have an internal scan from what I've had fed back to me before so all will be okay :) it's so reassuring to have it and know everything is okay. I can't wait for you to have your scan @agteacht and have you feeling better :) I keep getting like a really bad stitch when I sneezed if I'm lay straight apparently it's like all your muscles are weaker so it stretches suddenly when you sneeze and hurts but it's only like a few seconds so I felt alright after it panicked me a bit :') hope you ladies are doing okay! X

Hey, just jumping on the no symptom bandwagon! I'm 6 weeks today (based on my last period). I had a positive test at 4 weeks and intermittently it hasn't seemed real to the point where I re-tested last night (still positive). I thought I had some nausea in week 4 (and maybe some of week 5) - although I get quite irritable bowels and work has been stressful and when I get stressed my appetite is the first to go! I've been feeling more myself the past few days - in fact I feel really well. I've had no boob tenderness at all. I had some cramping and headaches before I first tested and in weeks 4/5 but now nothing. I made the mistake of Googling missed miscarriages and now I'm fretting. Early scan booked for 8 weeks so two weeks to go.

Hey @CrabbyPatty welcome :) the cramping and the headaches are normal at the beginning due to hormone surges so that's an early symptom! Are you tired at all? I felt very much myself at 6 weeks it was all very normal so I wouldn't worry too much and as hard as it is try not to google, we all do it and it just doesn't help it makes you worry more. At least you've got a scan booked and can look forward to that :) x

Slept in til 10.45 yesterday and still had a two hour nap after a quick walk to the pet shop and a sandwich and cake at a tea room..... what an exhausting day eh? So yes, I guess I'm tired. Gonna miss those lie ins!

Welcome @CrabbyPatty! Yes tiredness has definitely kicked in for me hard now at eight and a half weeks! I am finding it impossible not to worry about pretty much everything... should I have had an early scan? Should I be using cleaning products? Should I be travelling for work (flying short haul)?!

Hi ladies
I have had horrific cramps since yesterday evening and a bit of spotting. Trying not to panic, I will call the doctor in the morning and see what they advise to do. X

Oh @agteacht I am so sorry to hear that, thinking of you and hoping for the best xxx

I hope everything is alright. Let us know how you get on xx

@agteacht I hope you're okay, let us know how you get on x

I know I'm a bit late to the conversation, but I lost all symptoms around 10 weeks pregnant, and got really worried, but after speaking to my midwife, she re-assured me and it's normal apparently. I'm now nearly 41 weeks pregnant! Good luck to you and I wish you all the best x

Thanks HannahM32 that is reassuring!

How are you @agteacht? Thinking of you

Hi all
Well it's been a very traumatic day. I will share the story but please don't link this to the absence of symptoms or anyone else panic it could happen to them. Every case is so unique.

My spotting started on Saturday eve, proper bleeding started yesterday afternoon with very bad cramps. Continued all day today with cramps like I've never experienced before. At one point I thought I would pass out. I have passed a lot of blood as well as large clots (sorry TMI). The cramps have slightly died down since I passed the large clots.

I went to the doctor first thing and she referred me for a scan at the EGU but it wasn't until late afternoon.
They scanned me and this is where it gets confusing. It was an internal scan. They said it is 5-6 weeks. They could see a yolk sac but not an embryo.

They say they don't know if the pregnancy will last. I have to go back on Thursday 25th to be rescanned.

I was very surprised to see any pregnancy at all given the bleeding. She said my cervix is closed - I don't understand human biology very well I must confess but I don't understand how the cervix is closed if I'm bleeding so much.

Also the dates don't follow - I should be 7w, not 5w.

I am convinced it must be a miscarriage based on everything that's happened in the last 24 hours and the pain I've felt. But I don't quite understand what's going on with the scan.

At this stage I can only wait and see.
Maybe I should post somewhere to see what more people think? I don't know.

I'm wishing you all so well with your pregnancies and sorry to share this story with you. Xx

@agteacht I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve been though. Sending love. You are so kind to still be thinking of others. I agree it might be worth posting on another thread to ask for advice as I have heard stories about heavy bleeding early on and the pregnancy surviving. Best wishes to you

Thank you so much.
Yes I will do that. I think it's a waiting game x

@agteacht I'm so so sorry this is happening to you, I'm sending all the love and hugs I can. As it has been said, you are such a kind hearted person to still be thinking or others. I do hope you get some good news at your later scan but were all here for you when you need to talk and again I'm so sorry xxx
