7 weeks exactly and worried..

[JustMe18]

Today I turned 7 weeks pregnant.

Up until last Wednesday I felt fine, just sore nipples, then I felt horrendous and was off my food and could only stomach bread for a few days.

Today I felt a bit peaky this morning, and, now I feel fine.. I'm having no cramping or spotting but I'm really worried because even my nipples aren't sore today..

Please someone reassure me this happens? We've been trying for 2.5 years and I really can't mess this up! I'm 37 so time isn't on my side.

I'm sure I had some good days at 7 weeks. I definitely did at about 10 weeks. But the symptoms all came screaming back, and yesterday after several miscarriages I saw a very comfy healthy baby on the 20-week scan.

Don't worry, it definitely does happen, and it doesn't mean a thing. Obviously I can't 100% guarantee that everything is fine but this does sound like a normal fluctuation. Fingers crossed!

Hi, im exactly 7 weeks today and 37 too!
Ive found that the symptoms are less strong around the time i move on a week? The last two Monday evenings ive felt fine, and worried but the next day,bang, i feel rubbish again. I think it comes in waves. I havent been sick but woke up heaving the other morning!
Try not to overthink things. I have 2dc’s but had a mc at 12+2 earlier this year. im terrified of it happening again but im keeping a lid on things by just reminding myself that there is nothing more i can do to affect the outcome. I look after myself and take vitamins. That is all i can do x
There is a June 2019 thread in the ante natal clubs section if you want to have a look, lots of others in the same boat x

I'm just so worried and paranoid - I have never been pregnant before and I'm terrified that something terrible might be happening.

I’m 10 weeks and my symptoms have been coming and going. It really freaks me out but the two scans I’ve had to far are normal. I think it’s quite normal.

I didn’t feel sick at all when I had my DD so this is all new to me.

teakind My mum was never sick with myself or my brother, so perhaps I'm following? I haven't been physically sick yet, just really nausea's and close to it! I feel hungover mostly - except for today!

I’ve had days like that and the a couple of days later I feel rough again. Could you perhaps book an early scan to give you peace of mind?x

I have my first midwife appointment on Thursday AM..

No idea what they will do x

At your first appointment they take lots of details about your medical history and book you in/refer you for the 12 week scan/screening. I remember it feeling like a bit of an anti climax so dont expect too much!

Early pregnancy is really hard but unless you're smoking 20 a day or drinking like a fish, nothing you do will affect the outcome now.

I found an private early scan quite helpful, it is only a snap shot and nothing was guaranteed but at least I knew that things had got started ok.

It's really common for symptoms to come and go, they're really not an indication of anything definitive. Try to just take it a day at a time. Today you are pregnant.

Oh Wow.. My husband is taking time off, to come, should I tell him not to worry about it?

I'm sorry for being a worrier, I've just wanted this for so long!

Thank you for your support

Personally I would tell your husband not to come to your first midwife appointment, as a previous poster said, it's really just paperwork. But I would recommend a private early scan if you are feeling anxious, the wait between now and your first scheduled scan with the NHS will feel agonising if you are analysing symptoms (or lack of) and worrying.

oh god yes, save DH's time off for coming to a scan or something - the booking-in appointment is deadly dull. Definitely see about a private scan if you can afford it, it set my mind at ease at 9 weeks.

northlondongirl and ladycarlotta Ok! Thank you for the advice.. I'll tell him not to worry about it.

I mentioned a private scan to my husband but he said to wait for the NHS because if something was wrong I'd know about it??

Try not to worry OP. Apart from boobs that felt fuller (like I was due on) and tiredness I felt absoultely fine at that stage. Oh and I had a teaser of sickness and then never again.

OoohAyyye I just worry about EVERYTHING.

I want to go for a private scan but I'm so worried that it may show something bad! I just want to feel sick again

No cramping/bleeding is good, right?

My symptoms kept appearing then disappearing this time round. I am currently sitting with a 10 day old on my lap so all will probably be fine.
I kept worrying having had a miscarriage before my first baby. But the midwife reminded me that most pregnancies end with a baby and that I needed to relax .

Everyone's pregnancy and symptoms will be different, not bleeding is a good sign but even if you were to bleed it doesn't necessarily mean that you are miscarrying. Lots of women have bleeds and go onto have a perfectly healthy baby.

I disagree with your husband though, if things were not progressing as they should you wouldn't necessarily know. That doesn't mean they are though... an Internet forum can offer support but for true peace of mind an early scan is the only way.

Easier said than done but do try to relax, chances are everything is ok, being pregnant, giving birth and becoming a mother is full of worrying things and you will really benefit if you find ways of relaxing and not letting it consume you.

Meh, I just need to chill the F out and enjoy not feeling rubbish..

Fingers crossed I feel terrible tomorrow!

Perfectly normal to be paranoid but if theirs no bleeding then you have nothing to worry about. I have days/weeks where i feel sick constantly then aome days its not there

Hi! try not worry I am 7+2 and had an early scan today I have days in a row where I have no symptoms and have felt worried. then other days sore boobs and completely sick. Hope everything will be okay am sure it will try stay positive although it's hard xx
