4 weeks today!

[AnxiousAnnie86]

Hi ladies! New to this board just moved over from conception! Cannot quite believe it! I'm panicking as it's been a year (exactly!!) Since my miscarriage, and now I have backache and light cramps! Is that normal at four weeks can anyone put my mind at ease? X

@MollySxx I keep doing that and thinking I'm going to start bleeding any second, just driving home from work I felt like "this is going to be fine I can't believe it" then now I'm like nope I know this isn't it! 😩😩😩 I wish I'd never retested this morn I won't be doing that again!!!! Do you know your estimated due date. I'm so so so sorry for your loss, there are literally no words. It's going to be okay this time you deserve this! X

@Mctm123 im so sorry you have had such a rough ride, I've only had one miscarriage and that was enough to terrify me now... I have absolutely everything crossed maybe we can keep this thread running and try reassure each other.... I was in a great ttc group and it really helped!

Hi @AnxiousAnnie86, some of us from the July 2021 thread (which I’m guessing your due date would fall into if you’re 4 weeks?) have set up a Facebook group if you’d like to join us? It’s really lovely to chat to ladies around the same stage as you, most are around 4 weeks or so. If you would, just pm me your email address and I’ll add you 😊

I feel like we need to manifest the fact we are going to be okay. I know easier said than done😂 praying for us all. And my estimated due date is 3rd July 2021 which in itself feels like a lifetime. First trimester is actual hell on earth of just worry. I know I’ll be paying for private scans before my 12th week hospital one as well x

@Lollipop87 awww thanks so much but I'm not on Facebook 😩😩 shocking I know!!!

@MollySxx im due on the 5th, which weirdly is my best friends bday, the timing of all this month is too weird, I found out I was pregnant on the day my mc started last year! X

Sending so many thoughts and positivity your way x

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes happy to keep this thread going. I am scared to join a Facebook group yet I don’t know why?? Scared to jinx things maybe. Silly I know. It’s the same reason I haven’t arranged a booking in appointment or anything yet. The only thing I done was tell the miscarriage clinic as they asked me to and good enough they are getting me in next Tuesday for a scan. Then I will get one from the Ivf clinic a couple of weeks after. I’m just trying to be thankful for each day I stay pregnant now, we’ve got this ladies arghhhhh xx

@Mctm123 I know I keep telling myself, you've prayed for this moment take it as it is! And I am so thankful to be pregnant I really am! I just don't like these waves of cramps!!!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 @Mctm123 sending lots of love to you both, totally understand wanting to not jinx anything. I’m due 4th July. Wishing you happy and healthy pregnancies 💞

@AnxiousAnnie86 I know same here! I keep saying be happy but I’m scared to let myself actually feel it! I had some cramps on Sunday that woke me up at 5am but since then I’ve had the odd dull ache. I think it’s all normal but we will still worry won’t we!! Xx

@Lollipop87 thank you and good luck to you too. I may join the group after the 12 weeks 😊

I feel a little better this morning as I did what I said I wouldn't do and tested again, the lighter line reallt just freaked me out! So that's it now I won't test again...: first one two days ago second one second wee this morning

That’s a really strong line @AnxiousAnnie86 and I don’t blame you for retesting! I’ve been doing the same and I will prob keep doing them haha 😂

@Mctm123 I think I might stop now I've seen that! There is definite progress!

How you feeling? Xx

It’s weird on Sunday I felt completely normal but I’d had cramping in the morning and thought the worst! Then yesterday an Monday I have felt sickly and just a bit run down so I’m feeling a bit more hopeful again now! This morning I don’t feel much. It’s so up and down isn’t it!

What about you? Xx

@Mctm123 boobs are absolutely killing, had cramps earlier, they seem to last about half an hour then go... feel sickly on and off but not bad at all x

Yeah mine on sunday lasted about that long @AnxiousAnnie86 I think it’s all the stretching. When I mentioned it to the midwife in my Ivf clinic she wasn’t a bit bothered! X

@Mctm123 yeah I guess I don't like it though!!!! X

I started bleeding today and I’m freaking out! Had a bowel movement and wiped and there was blood when I wiped. A circle of red blood and I’ve had back ache and I remember the back ache from my last miscarriage. EPU can’t do anything as I’m only 4+4. I’ve wiped since and nothing. But I’ve come to bed feeling sick and to rest. Have a very bad feeling🥺

@MollySxx bleeding can be very common at this point try not to panic just yet, with my mc when I started bleeding it came very fast and very heavy! Sending lots of love xx

It’s a fresh red colour and my miscarriage bleed was more pink and watery. I’m just having cramps in my lower stomach and back ache in the middle of my back (not overly painful) I’ve read and it could be implantation bleeding as I’m feeling sick and nausea is a sign along with implantation bleeding. So I’m hoping it is. I can’t do this again x

@MollySxx I also have backache and cramping, and I've read that can be normal at four weeks for implantation along with light bleeding.. Xx

I have my scan in 2 weeks time exactly! Just hoping I last that 2 weeks and can see a healthy flicker of a heartbeat x

@MollySxx how you doing lovely? Xxx

I’m doing okay! Still freaked out. But it was just that one of time of wiping and the blood. Which I can only describe as a drop on the toilet paper, no bigger than a 10p. I’ve had nothing since and believe me, I’ve been checking all night and woke up at 3:45am to do exactly that. Not really cramping anymore. So I hope it’s okay x

@MollySxx my sister and sister in law had a full blown period at the time their period would of been due!

Also around the time periods are due you can get WhatS called a "breakthrough bleed" it could just be that.... like I mentioned when I had my mc they bleeding didn't stop and it came fast, with agonising cramps and shooting pains :( so I'm sure everything will be absolutely fine for you! Totally understand your anxiety though I keep going to loo and checking for blood constantly x

My friend was bleeding in her pregnancy and they were convinced it was an ectopic. She now has a bouncing 7 month old. My other friend also bled and had an early scan at 6 weeks and she now has a 2 year old. I’m just glad it still isn’t bleeding. I rang the EPU and they said it could just be implantation bleeding and didn’t sound worried. Just told me to keep an eye on it and if the pain gets worse or bleeding heavy, then it’s straight to a&e. But so far, so good xx
