Joining in!
I'm 31. This is my first pregnancy after having been trying for a year. Thanks to PCOS and highly irregular periods, all I know (thanks to the wonders of those Clear Blue dating tests) is that I'm about 7 weeks and due mid-late November.
Absolutely petrified I'm going to miscarry. I work in Gynae and emergency Obstetric theatres. So should the worst happen I would not only have my colleagues know very quickly what had happened, but then know some had seen me at my lowest and most vulnerable should I need surgery. On the other hand I am not worried at all about needing a section or forceps delivery. My proximity to the delivery suite meant that one of the scrub nurses and I got to "borrow" one of the mobile scanners last week and did an informal scan. We didn't see a heartbeat, but we're pretty sure we saw a posterior high placenta and a ~1cm white 'lump' that we think is baby. It was a fairly low res scan and neither of us have any experience in sonography, but to have saw something kept me from my former levels of stress for a few days.
Since then, I have returned to max levels of stress, and one sleepless night after some blood and bloody mucus discharge. However, it was just after some fun times with my husband and there's been no further bleeding. So fingers crossed I'm in the clear.....
Other than that, I've only had: mild cramping, sore breasts, on and off all-day nausea, clear vaginal discharge and recently my sense of smell and taste have gone into overdrive.
Dating scan is on the 16th April but no booking appointment date yet.
Sorry about the wall of text. But I'm just so happy and yet so stressed at the same time!
TL;DR
31yr old PCOS sufferer ~7weeks with 1st pregnancy. 1 episode of blood + mucus.
