[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

Had a scan today booked it last minute! All well. 8.3 weeks so 6 days further on than I thought. Heartbeat 💗 was very clear to see flickering away. So happy and relieved x

Awww amazing @Bambi300180 !! 🥰🥰 and evening better you are further on!

I need mine to hurry upppppp. Come on Thursday!

Even*

My sickness is back!! The next time I start panicking ladies can you all just remind me to seize the day!!!!! Felt totally normal yest, but instead of making the most of it, I spent all day panicking, now I feel so so rough again x

@Bambi300180 oooooh congrats looks amazing!! Such a feeling isn't it.

@blossom428 it will be here before you know it!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 we will! Im floored today. Been exhausting telling family but so amazing. My parents cried 😭❤

Ohh no @AnxiousAnnie86 !! You going to start the medication again?

Aw I bet @Redfoot89 cute you've told your parents 😊😊

@Redfoot89 congrats on you scan as well. Such a fab feeling to know all is how it should be. @Blossom428 won't be long now and you will get to see your baba. The video I got was amazing was all moving around. @AnxiousAnnie86 hope you start feeling bit better soon x

Anyone else waking up in the night with such an empty stomach feeling? Did it the other night and now last night I was wide awake at 4am debating to go get food. And now I've woken up again 7.30 same feeling. It's making me toss and then all night, struggling to sleep. But I feel night eating isn't great to do...

@Blossom428 haha you've got the hunger! I've heard a lot of people say how hungry they are all the time In first trimester! X

@Blossom428 i feel you!! My stomach rumbles so bad 🤣🤣 i keep a glass of juice by my bed and just have a drink when i wake, i do not want to eat at night.

My nausea gets SO bad when im hungry so im trying to get into the habit of eating little and often.

🙈🙈 @AnxiousAnnie86
Yeah I don't want to get into the habit of eating at night either. @Redfoot89
May try a snack just before bed like cottage cheese or soemthing to try keep me full throughout. No real nausea as of yet though- so I'm not complaining, but it's affecting my sleep!

Well ladies a tidal wave of nausea has hit and its 24/7 now. Literally nothing curbs it. Been wearing sea bands since sunday which has at least stopped me gagging but i feel like ive been hit by a bus 😭

Thats all the immediate family been told now, so nice to not have this huge secret anymore with them. Id been so worried about telling my brother and his wife (they lost their baby boy this year) but they are over the moon for us.

Hope you are all keeping well?

@Redfoot89 aw really Iv not been feeling as perky past few days either waking up through the night feeling sick and hot. Feeling nausea all through the day but I have not been sick. That's good all your family know as you will have loads of support. X

6 weeks. There was a little heartbeat. Could not here it but she pointed it out to be and I could see it going up and down on the middle part 🤞🤞🤞. X

@Bambi300180 its a rough ride just now especially when i look after kids all day. Holiday countdown is well and truly on for me.

@klprr93 oh how lovely congrats!!

Oh sorry to hear how bad you feel @Redfoot89 ! Seems like you are trying different things too. Hopefully it won't go on too much longer and thank goodness you have the Christmas break!

@Klprr93 awww amazing to see the heartbeat.

Only a couple more days to wait for me, I'm mixed emotions of nervous, anxious and excitement! Praying all is okay!

@Klprr93 aww I'm so happy for you! You must be so relieved!

@Redfoot89 I feel your pain! I'm so so sick all of the time, it's absolutely horrendous.

Had my nhs scan this morn, I'm too early for tests that need to be done so have to go back on 24th! X

Ooh did you @AnxiousAnnie86 bet it was nice to see little baby again!! Ooo Christmas Eve, well at least you get another glance right before Christmas Day 😊

@Blossom428 yeah looked so much more like a baby! And it was wriggling about all over!! C

Hi All,

Just wondering anybody has been in the same boat as me. Got my BFP on 11/11 and booked for an early scan on 5/12 when I thought I was 7+2. This is my first pregnancy, got to the scan for them to say that 1) I have an inverted uterus so was hard to see, 2) I was measuring at 6+2 instead and 3) they couldn't conclusively see a heart beat, she thinks because it's too early and because of how difficult the scan was. Has anybody else had this before, the booked me in for 10 day after to recan, I'm terrified.

@lotslou1404 hey! How sure are you on ovulation date? They can be out a little in the beginning? Not hearing a heartbeat is normal at 6 weeks I think it's from 7 they can normally hear it! Xxxd

I used clear blue digital opk which had a static from 29/10 and got my first positive on 11/11. I’m trying to stay positive there’s just so many negative stories out there it’s hard

@lotslou1404 I know :( it's awful to read so much negativity, just try and stay away from it until you know what's going on, I just stay on this board and try to not read too much as it will only add to your stress, how are you feeling otherwise? Xx

Stressed. I’m tired a lot of the time and I have waves of nausea every so often I’ve been sick a couple of times but that’s it. There’s been the odd day of slightly sore boobs but nothing major. It’s my mood I’ve noticed the biggest change in. I just feel down and weepy all the time.

Anyone know what are good pregnancy books to read? I've heard of a couple- what to expect when your expecting and expecting better?
Any others or which is best?

Sorry to hear you are going through lots of confusion, your dates may level out again at your 12week dating scan as it's so early days things can be difficult to measure and grow at different rates. @lotslou1404 it's good you've been having symptoms though.
I've got my first scan on Thursday where I will be 7+4.
