Hi
I'm 11 weeks pregnant after 4 rounds of IVF and I'm so nervous. We had scans at 6 and 7 weeks with the clinic and saw a heartbeat so I suppose I'm just looking for reassurance!
I haven't had any sickness or sore boobs, I have felt nauseous but it passes very quickly, I'm tired and I feel like my stomach looks bloated and pregnant but the midwife said it's probably just water. I have period like pains on and off.
My scan isn't until 24th August and it feels so long away. Does anyone have any positive stories of a similar situation?
I haven't had any covid jabs yet so that's also on my mind.
Thanks Smile

I had similar pains back in April when I was in the first trimester and it was just round ligament pain and my womb stretching in my pelvis , all totally normal. I was as sick as a small hospital though but just because you are not experiencing sickness doesn't make it abnormal. There is a huge range of pregnancy symptoms and some people will get none , all or some. I'm almost 27 weeks now

I had mild period like cramping through all four of my pregnancies, probably till I was around 5 months, and even light bleeding with 2 of them and everything was OK. I had tender boobs and was very sensitive to smells which would make me retch but I never really got the morning type sickness. The chances are that everything will be OK as you've seen a heartbeat. I know it's easier said than done but just try to think positive. If anything were to go wrong, there's nothing you could have done. And right now you're pregnant with no reason to think things will go wrong so just try to enjoy the pregnancy. It won't be long till you're further along and getting reassuring movements from the baby x
