Worrier's first baby

[booflebaby]

Hey first time thread. I'm currently 27yo and our little bean is 6weeks +4.

We saw our little bean last night. We paid for the early scan to help settle my nerves. There was a heart beat but as the report said visual was poor due to overshadowing bowel gas 😂😂😂 tbf I do look like I'm 16weeks with my bloating.

Anyway since Monday I have felt less sick than in the past week or so. Granted I have moaned about feeling sick but the feeling also let me know my hormones where there, therefore baby is there. But with the lack of sick I began to worry. I still had my nuclear nipples (It's what my OH calls them) and my bloating but not the like main symptom nausea (please excuse my spelling).

We were going to wait until 12 week scan to tell parents however I'm rubbish at keeping secrets half the people above me know at work 🙈🙈 and I need some reassurance. So i told my mum. She told me that she couldn't of been sick everyday with me because she was still hiding it from work. And that your hormones fluctuate so I'll have good and bad days with the nausea.

I'm just looking for myself to fail I'm checking for blood when I go to pee even though I know baby is there and it's tiny tiny heart is beating. How do just embrace the feeling and stop worrying something bad is going to help???

TL;DR 6weeks +5 baby's heart what is present. Nausea fluctuating making me worry. How do I stop??

Hi booflebaby your mum is right, your symptoms will fluctuate, its totally normal. I was the exact same in my first trimester, some days I was crushed by exhaustion and nausea, others I felt fine, which could go on for days. And I have never had sore boobs or 'nuclear nipples' (I love it 😂) with this pregnancy at all. If you haven't already, you may experience a little brownish/ pinkish when you wipe after going to the toilet. Again that's totally normal and just the egg implanting in your uterus. I had my implantation bleed around 7 or 8 weeks.
I'm in my 2nd trimester now and I have no symptoms at all. I haven't felt pregnant at all but just started feeling the first little flutters of movement which is lovely and reassuring. This is my 4th pregnancy 😊

Thanks bunnybaubles. I experienced my implantation bleed at roughly 4 weeks which I mistook for a period. It was really on a whim I did a pregnancy test (7 in total 😂😂🙈🙈) and found out I was pregnant as I would of gone until roughly next week not realising. A little part of me wishes that had happened cos then I would of been like 4 weeks in front of what I thought I was if that makes sense. I did some dangerous googling this morning and saw the percentages for miscarriage are actually quite low so that helped. Wish I knew if my beans heart beat was normal though I never got told just that it was present.

I'm just setting myself little milestones and I think that's helping so next one is first midwife appointment is next Thursday.

I can't wait to feel baby :)

That's really all you can do, set yourself milestones. It does help to pass the pregnancy. I feel it's always the wait for the 1st midwife appointment that takes the longest. But then you've got your dating scan soon after which is amazing, I love my scans haha!
Don't worry about the heartbeat, risk of miscarriage drops dramatically once a heartbeat can be seen. I never got told, with any of my babies, whether the heartbeat was strong or not, just that it could be seen.
Aww you'll definitely love feeling baby! I adored every little kick in my last pregnancy. The hiccups are the cutest!!! I was around 16 weeks with my 1st when I first felt movement, thought I had wind 😂
