@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Iv been constipated since I have swapped to pregnacare pregnancy! Must be a higher Iron content. I think hormone levels dont rise as much from 7 weeks so i dont know if that impacts of things. Still got intermittent nausea. Has your boob pain gone now?

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 20/06/2021 14:37

@MgW1 the constipation is bad over here. I feel a bit sick today for the 1st time, but I think it's being backed up a bit. They hurt again now but didn't much for a couple days. What did you see at your scan and how far along are you? Wondering when to book one for

Hi all, I’ve been away from MN for a few days because work has been busy. It’s so hard to keep up so won’t be able to tag everyone but looks like there are several of you ladies going through the same worries as me, which is reassuring! I’m 6 + 3 today, due Feb 10. I initially just had some cramps, slight tiredness and increased sense of smell, but slight nausea and boob tenderness finally kicked about a week ago. Can manage the nausea by eating little and often as someone said.

However totally freaked out at the moment as I’ve had no cramping this weekend at all and I woke up this morning and my boob tenderness has nearly completely disappeared. Obviously glad there is no bleeding or severe cramping, and still got a bit of nausea and tiredness today but am very very nervous about the possibility of a missed MC. Got 3weeks + on a CB test at 6 weeks but still can’t settle my nerves that something isn’t right!

Has anyone experienced massive fluctuating or disappearing symptoms in this or previous pregnancies and everything has been ok?

MgW1 · 20/06/2021 15:03

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Im going to phone recurrent mc clinic tomorrow and book another for next week and il be 8 weeks. I went on monday and didnt see much , sac and yolk. Bit early for heart beat , lady said they can sometimes be picked up just before 6 weeks but can see clearer between 6 - 7 weeks so I wouldnt go before 7 weeks ? X

MgW1 · 20/06/2021 16:44

@Lowkeyloopy
Yes ! Same here , from what iv read , after hormones reach a certain level around 7 weeks , they dont increase as quick and i think symptoms fluctuate more throughout the day. I didnt feel any nausea this a.m when i drunk my decaf ( which iv had for last 2 weeks) and my boobs were not sore at all and I freaked out! But as the day as gone on.... i now feel nauseous and iv just had a shower and my boobs were sore and throbbing when i took my bra off !!! So dont despair , symptoms will prob just come and go throughout the day x

I've submitted an econsult with my doctors letting them know I got positive tests, requesting prescription folic acid (BMI>30) and it asked me about my mental health so I told them about the fact that I'm really not doing well. I hope they offer me a blood test because I'm really not coping at all not knowing. I was spotting two days ago then it stopped, spotting again now a bit. I am off food but not sure if it's just the constant state of panic I'm in right now. For better or worse I just want to know.

ownedbycats · 20/06/2021 23:49

And to cement the fact that I am really not doing well: I'm half convinced that telling the doctors will make me miscarry.

Hello all.

Just a little update from me after our slightly shocking natural pregnancy in the middle of IVF.

We had our scan today and saw a lovely strong heartbeat....and then we saw a second lovely strong heartbeat!!! It's twins! they think its non-identical! and they are about 7w and 4days! So i was about 3 weeks when we started the IVF treatment! haha

Absolutely bonkers! We are in total shock

Msd2416 · 21/06/2021 12:31

@Bells3032 oh my gosh twins how lovely!!

Huge congratulations Flowers

Sycamore89 · 21/06/2021 12:37

@Bells3032 Wow, twins! Congratulations!!
How are you feeling?

CyberGhost · 21/06/2021 13:34

No nausea here but I am exhausted and my boobs feel like dead weights!

@Bells3032 congratulations! How are you feeling about TWO babies now Grin

overtherainbo · 21/06/2021 13:45

My nausea has started. I think I am 7 weeks today. I've also got major constipation. I go for my early scan tomorrow.

@Bells3032 congratulations on twins. Did you have strong symptoms?

glasspaw · 21/06/2021 14:57

@Bells3032 that’s such incredible news! Congratulations 🥳

Neom87 · 21/06/2021 16:44

Hello!! 🖐 please can i join, I got my BFP yesterday after an early miscarriage over the Easter bank hol weekend. I noticed a lot of you ladies have also had similar losses. My estimated due date would be beginning of March, so I would be one of the last in the group. Also Soooooo... pleased to see Tabbycat92 here!! 😁 I don't know if you remember me but I was on the thread you were OP of last time around. So glad we are both "back in the game" fingers crossed we have sticky ones this time around! X

CyberGhost · 21/06/2021 17:31

Welcome @Neom87 and congratulations! Flowers

Anyone else getting pain pangs, like ligament and muscle stretching pains? I feel like I am too early but sometimes if I move wrong I feel a twinge!

choccrumpet · 21/06/2021 17:37

@CyberGhost I have been getting these recently! Like quite badly too, I have to be careful how I move/get up etc. I heard you only got them further along but that doesn't seem right! I've definitely had to pause moving many times because the pain achy feeling is so strong sometimes.

@Bells3032 that's amazing, double the congratulations! No wonder you had such a strong line!

overtherainbo · 21/06/2021 18:31

@CyberGhost @choccrumpet I've had a weird painful sensation around my knicker line today, obviously googling thinking the worst

Peppercorn2021 · 21/06/2021 20:25

Hi team February 2022. Joining to say hello, and listen and learn from the sidelines :)

I think I'm 5+1. Scared and still in shock, plus trying to manage my expectations and not to get excited yet. This is my first pregnancy.

My head is so full, but it's good to read so many similar feelings and experiences.

Very bloated, occasional heartburn, some light headedness and my boobs are on off sore/massive

@Bells3032 what a rollercoaster! Congratulations Smile

@Bells3032 congratulations 🥳
That's amazing news

Snowdonia · 21/06/2021 20:57

Hi!

I've been reading this thread for the last few days so thought I'd finally join in.

I think I'm 6+4, due 10th February. Had a phone call with the Doctor this afternoon. They just asked a few questions and are going to send a form off to the midwives. I just wait for them to contact me when I'm around 10 weeks for some questions and then the scan around 12 weeks. Does anyone else feel like this is such a long wait? I've been reading about early scans that are available from 6 weeks. Is it the norm to have these? Is anyone planning on having one? 🙂

rz2022 · 21/06/2021 21:07

Hi @Snowdonia I know I feel like it's such a long wait too. I had doctor appointment last week and they took my details and il have to wait for a scan date. It's usually around 12 weeks. I feel like o can relax once I have scan and everything looks ok!! This is my second pregnancy and with my daughter I did a private scan at 14 weeks because the hospital didn't give me a scan date until 21 weeks (got lost in the system) but other than that I don't have any information on early scans but a few on here have had scans from 7 weeks so I'm sure they can give u some advice.
Currently 8 weeks according to my doctor but 6 weeks according to ovulation but doctor said they will only take LMP to date pregnancy until dating scan

@Bells3032 congratulations 🎉🎉👶👶

93amy93 · 21/06/2021 21:09

I’m the same, I rang my GP and the receptionist said I just needed to pick up a pregnancy pack and send a form in so I haven’t actually spoken to anyone yet! I suppose it is still early days, this is my first so I am clueless!

My best friend had a little girl in Feb this year and she recommended a place so I’ve booked an early scan for the 30th June, I think I will be around 6+5 by then!

McHelenz · 21/06/2021 21:18

Hi all, I was in the early Feb group but seen this is a little more active. I am currently 6 weeks with baby number 2, I have an 18 month old. I had HG with my last baby and it's started again this last week and I've just been prescribed meds again. Had a lot of tears that I don't know if I can cope with the vomitting for 40 weeks again 🙁.

Have my first appointment on the 15th.

Jane7891 · 21/06/2021 21:32

Hi all!! I’m new here :) I’m due 14th Feb and this is my first pregnancy. I’m so nervous! I phoned my local midwife clinic who have booked me in for a telephone appointment next week, not sure what to expect with that? I’ve had quite sore boobs the past couple of weeks & on and off cramps. I don’t know about anyone else but my cramps seems to be worse at night, could it be due to sleeping on my stomach?
I’m completely new to mumsnet & im so glad I’ve joined, it seems like such a supportive place Smile
