Babys heartbeat

[JoLeoGirl]

Hi girls . I'm sorry to as that but some people really make me nervous . I try to stay positive always and to think that everything will go because why not ? It's not in our power so it's just a waiting game. I saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks doct said everything looked perfect and book an app for week 13. No need to see earlier he said . And now some people say to me just wait because you never know what happens. Is it possible to see a heartbeat, have a good pregnancy till now , staying active , thank god no blood and cramps and something go wrong ? Like to go there and don't see anymore a heartbeat? This is so sad when someone says that to you ! I want to hear your stories
❤️ thank you ❤️

It's hard not to worry at 7 weeks. I'm now at 17 weeks.

Theres so much we cant control in life, but in pregnancy there are things we can do to help the baby and also things to make us feel better. Everyday, I had a routine of things I knew would help me and the baby and I ticked them off. I felt that if i did miscarry, I had done everything in my power to prevent this. For example

Take vitamins
Go a walk
Have a lunchtime nap
Cook a healthy dinner.

Writing these down and ticking these off made me feel better and less anxious. Between 7 and 13 weeks is a long time, but they to focus on other things that make you happy whatever they are. Plan things to do with friends /family and this will help to focus on other things.

Good luck!

It's pretty normal to be worried about going to the 12 week scan and yes, some people do receive the news that they don't want to hear but the vast majority just get to see a small healthy baby (or maybe 2) on the screen.

One big positive is that you know that you are fertile, so if something were to happen you'd be able to get PG again.

Unfortunately you can lose a baby at any stage of pregnancy and it can be a very worrying time. Highest risks are in the 1st trimester but the further along you get the lower the risk.

Our last pregnancy we saw a heartbeat at 8+3 and I miscarried at 9+3, it was heartbreaking but currently 33+5 with a very active little girl. I've had several losses but also have had 5 children from 4 term pregnancies before this one. All you can do is hope and celebrate each milestone you pass until you get to hold a newborn.

When I was bervously pregnant, miscarriage before each son ( now 32 and 30) I used to find something new that happened in those weeks, to spur me on

Thank you for you nice words 🙏 I'm now 11 weeks , I have started to show a little bit , itchy belly , not really much symptoms but most of it is food aversions I can't eat. This gives me hope that baby is growing healthy. ❤️

@JoLeoGirl I understand your worry.

I saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks and now have a 9mo daughter.

She was my second pregnancy, however. In my first pregnancy, I saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks and it stopped at 8 weeks. I'd had a missed miscarriage and I didn't know until I had a scan.

Unfortunately, there really is nothing you can do. I did everything right both times but if it's meant to be it will be. It is uncommon to have a miscarriage after seeing a heartbeat but it does happen and I was in that small statistic.

@yepitsmey I'm so sorry for your loss and so happy for your baby now ❤️ but did you had any symptoms when this happend the first time ? Did you started to show or have any pregnancy symptoms? I would appreciate tour answer if it's not personal. If no is also okay ❤️

@JoLeoGirl I had morning sickness, all day long nausea and really sore breasts from around 5 weeks. My symptoms didn't go at all, even after the baby had died. I had surgical management to end the pregnancy and I woke up from the general anaesthetic to no symptoms. This was at 12 weeks.

@yepitsmey I'm so sorry you had to go through this ! I try to stay positive and to remind myself that is nothing I can do 💕
