Symptoms around 4-5 weeks

[Squeakybubbles26]

Hey,

Found out we are pregnant with DC2 on Wednesday, which would make me around 4-5 weeks pregnant. However had a few symptoms before missed period, so done a test on Wednesday which was positive! However since then everything has calmed down, even the tender boobs have eased today! Our DD1 is 2 so seems so long ago to even remember what is was like to be pregnant so basically, anyone out there any advice/reassurance! Is this normal? Thanks.

@lovetapdancingandrainbows I'm kind of wanting to tell a few people - we're telling DP's mum tonight when she comes over, and seeing the rest of his family on Sunday when I'll be 6 weeks and we're not sure if it's too early to tell or not? Xx

@MakeaWhish...I don’t think it’s too early - you kind of need all the support (if you’re anything like me). Am hoping you’re feeling ok today? I’ve been shattered and nauseous first thing this morning and then feeling better this early thank the lord!! xxx

@lovetapdancingandrainbows yeah you're right! We'll tell em. DP's mum was so happy when we told her tonight! It was lovely. All 3 of us shed a little tear!
Pregnancy wise I'm feeling ok apart from mega sore boobs and tiredness. But I have a suspected slipped disc in my back and have been laid up this week. It's been bulging for 4 weeks and now it feels even more painful so I think it's slipped now. It's overshadowing the pregnancy now, I just want it to get better 😢

@lovetapdancingandrainbows I'm so happy for you and bet that's put your mind at rest even more! I agree sometimes you've got to tell people/someone! I told my mum tonight, both for support and because I told her straight away with DD it's only fair I do this time round! I may have to tell a close friend at work to, just in case I'm having a bad day!

Today I've felt the most pregnant I have for a while! The sore boobs are back (well to touch), I've been extra tired and had tummy stretches/pains/pulling well that's what I hope they are)

Anyone else experienced pains/cramps in their tummy/abdomen?

@MakeAWhish I bet that pain is horrible on top of pregnancy symptoms :( what can they do for your back? Hope you feel better soon x

@Squeakybubbles26 I get the pulling pains in my abdomen, every day since about 10dpo! Feels like I'm pulling a muscle in my groin if that makes sense?
There's not much I can do for my back apart from rest and gentle exercise. It'll just take time. And all I can take is paracetamol 😩

@MakeAWhish yeh that makes sense. If I get up to quick it hurts more, like I've pulled it the wrong way. They don't feel serious or to intense and I can remember this from before just reassuring hearing others are feeling the same. Make the most of the rest! Paracetamol I bet that doesn't even touch it - barely touched headaches for me :( x

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend 😁 how's you all feeling xx

Hi lovely! Pregnancy wise, my boobs are so so painful 😩 but not really any other symptoms! Took another digital test this morning just to check 😂 I got 3+ so I was happy. How's you?

Hi everyone!

Ah.....@MakeAWhish...that’s great news!! I did the same and it really put my mind at rest :) My boobs have also started to be way more painful....and they’re massive! I’ve gone from an A cup to a C cup (which is amazing by the way!!). Hoping I can keep them afterwards lol :)

@Squeakybubbles - I’m also having a few pulling pains and the other night had a really sharp and white nasty cramping feeling. It lasted for about a minute and it took my breath away a little! Very weird. There’s definitely stuff going on in there!!!

Hope you’re all having a lovely relaxing weekend - I’ve had a good one, but am off into work later today. It’s not so bad though I guess :) It’ll take my mind off that scan tomorrow (I am officially worrying like a right banana just typing this!!!). Will of course keep you all updated and speak soon,

Xxx

Hi all, hope you’re all ok? Just to let you guys know I had a scan last night. I reckoned I should’ve been about 6 weeks and 1 day. However, they only saw the gestational sac, with perhaps a small foetal pole - no yolk sac or embryo. I’m hoping it was just too early - or I’ve got my dates a bit wrong!! Hopefully so.
I’ve got to go back next Tuesday for another scan, so fingers crossed. Am beyond nervous :)
Xxx

Hi @lovetapdancingandrainbows was thinking of you yesterday! Thanks for the update, and big fingers crossed for you! Like you say could be early days or your dates wrong! The waiting is the worst but wishful and positive thinking!

I need some help and advice ladies. Got works Christmas meal soon, and drinks etc all included! Everyone knows me to have a good drink, enjoy myself sort of thing! However won't be on this occasion (of course) so will be driving! I need a blooming good excuse ... !!! Help please :) xx

I’m sorry to say that I’ve started bleeding this evening. I wanted to say that it’s been lovely getting to know you all and hope that you have a happy and healthy 9 months. I’ll be thinking about you all. Thank you for all your support and kindness. You’re a lovely group of people xxx

Oh, @lovetapdancingandrainbows I am devastated for you. I'm so, so, sorry darling. You've been through such a lot. My heart is breaking for you. Please keep talking, we are here for you. I'm beyond upset to hear this. Wish I could give you a hug. 💔

@lovetapdancingandrainbows oh my I'm so sorry and so upset for you. :( agree with @MakeAWhish you've been through so much and we are best for you. I'm so sorry again

@lovetapdancingandrainbows not are best we are here I meant!xx

Thanks both of you. I’m crying reading your messages this morning. Thank you so so much both of you for your lovely messages.

It was definitely a ‘sponteous abortion’ as the doctor called it. I called my GP this morning and he was really lovely. The vast majority of it was over last night - this morning things have stopped a little, bit have been told it could be on and off for some days now. Just watchful waiting at the moment.

The word spontaneous really does sum it up - it came on so quickly. I literally stood up from the dining table to get a drink and felt something trickle down my legs. I didn’t expect to see blood when I looked down. It was such a shock. And I feel so so sad.

It took me so long to get pregnant....I don’t know if it’ll ever happen again. I was so happy. Sorry. Am rambling now. I know it’s just mother nature’s way, but she can be so cruel.

I must admit, I kind of knew at the scan on Monday that things were not as they should be. I am grateful that it’s taken it natural course though. What a journey. Maybe it’s all the hormones, but I can’t help feeling it’ll never happen for me. I suppose that’s normal at the moment though.

I’ve been blessed to know you both during this short, but lovely journey. Please keep me posted about how you’re both doing - it’ll keep me going in the next few weeks am sure. I’ll be thinking of you both around my due date and will buy something to remember this by I think.

Thank you again and sending you lots of love xxx

@lovetapdancingandrainbows Oh you poor thing 😢 how shocking to be confronted by blood like that, and how devastating. I hold hope in my heart that one day you will hold your rainbow baby in your arms. So much love. 💖

@MakeAWhish - thank you for your lovely words of comfort and hope. I hope one day to meet him or her. At least until then, I have a few little angels looking down on me xxx

@lovetapdancingandrainbows that's literally brought me to tears. I hope you get your rainbow baby very soon. You've been so lovely and a pleasure to know and I can only hope for all the best for you!! Big hugs

@squeakybubbles - bless you. Thank you so much for the hugs. Gratefully received tonight, let me tell you! One day, I’ll meet him or her and the little one will be so gratefully received. I’ll always remember your kindness at such a difficult time and I’ll think of you on my due date - which be about the time that you bring your little one into the world. I’ll be sending you so much love.
I hope to be back one day to share my happy news with everyone. Until then, I’ll try to be grateful for what I have. For being blessed with a pregnancy even for such a short time. I guess I’m lucky that it happened so early on. The other miscarriages have been so close to the second trimester and were so hard to bear. I also think of all the women who lose their babies so late into their pregnancies - that must be unbearable. So maybe I’m one of the lucky ones?

I might never get there, but I know there’ll be a few little ones I’ll meet one day up there in heaven. They would have been so loved and were so wanted.
I’ve loved talking to you and you’ve been such a source of support. Thank you so very much for everything - it means more than I have words to explain right now.
Take care of you and that little life inside you. You’re both very precious xxx
