Nervously pregnant - Symptoms?

9 replies

Hello!

I am currently 4+6 so VERY early days, and suffering quite a lot of anxiety as this is my 6th pregnancy, but i only have one DC who is 3.5. I am on treatment for recurrent miscarriage, daily aspirin and cyclogest nightly.

Can i ask what symptoms you felt at this stage? I am freaking myself out because i feel like i should have more, but the rational side of me knows that this early symptoms can be quite few and far between.

I have sore breasts, a faint sicky feeling most of the time and I am quite tired - though I have been tired basically constantly since DS was born tbf! I am waking up to pee most nights.

What were your symptoms at around 4-5 weeks?

Hi there. Congratulations! I really hope this time is your lucky time. Everyone is different re symptoms but I hardly had any before 6 weeks. If I hadn't been pregnant before, I would have just thought I felt a bit off. I had slightly sore boobs - nothing major - and the occasional twinge in my uterus. I then had a bleed at 5+6, which I was convinced was going to become a miscarriage. It didn't, and an early scan at 7w found a heartbeat. I'm 19 weeks now.

The anxiety is so bad when you've had bad luck before. There isn't much anyone can say to make that better in the early days, but it does get better as the time passes. Best of luck!

Pretty much nothing. Got sickness around 5/6 week.

Also very early stages here! Not a lot going on symptom wise. A bit of nausea, bloated from about 3pm onwards and struggling to keep my eyes open past 10.30!

Thank you this is really reassuring!

Congratulations!

I was nauseous and had gone off tea at that stage, and I was also very tired.

I haven’t really had sore boobs at all!

My symptoms definitely got worse after around 6 weeks x

I've just had a tiny amount of brown when i wiped after a wee. I am now freaking out.

I didn’t have any symptoms until around 7-8 weeks other than sore boobs.
Try not to panic OP (easier said than done I know). It could just be old implantation blood. I had brown blood when I wiped early on. Unless it’s red and/or painful cramping then try not to worry. You could call your local EPU to see what they suggest? Xx

The same symptoms for me.

Try not to freak out. I know it's hard. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage but in my second I had brown spotting and I am holding that sleeping baby right now.

for your losses.

Hi Op. I have 3 children. At this stage with the second two I was feeling very very tired and fatigued. Unnaturally so. I was falling asleep on the sofa by 8pm most nights!
I also developed an aversion to tea and coffee and a sensitivity to strong smells. That was it really, I probably had the symptoms with number 1 but didn't recognise them as quickly as I'd never been pregnant before.
I've never had morning sickness.
Around 6 weeks I developed 'two stomachs' -the one that felt starving hungry versus the one that was queasy and nauseous. At around 11 weeks all my symptoms vanished.
