I am 7 weeks and panicked soon a I found I am pregnant. I had two scan first they saw sac and second the heartbeat.
I been worried a lot about this pregnancy and every time something happens have to Google old threads on here. I had several things happen. Last night fell asleep woke up bursting for a wee so think I held my bladder. I have right side pain and got up from bed really bad right side pain. Something not right at all.
Very scared at the moment.

@ShaneTwane
I can't believe it got a scan next Thursday. My scan has been brought forward.
I am scared now though and my DP will be away. I am kind of glad he won't be there. I am literally happy but freaking out.
I need to know if everything okay and hopefully it is. I just wouldn't know what to say to him if anything wrong.

I am so happy because this has been torture. I been getting a lot of lower belly cramping have put it done to constipation or just the body chances. I have got left side pain and that right side there too. Like I said I genuinely haven't felt pregnant thought I did feel something in my stomach but like it could be wind. I hope all this worry for nothing. I pray and hope it's just me.

That's great news that they have brought the scan forward! Everything crossed for you! That's really exciting but nerve wracking. Definitely look after yourself this week and relax as much as possible.

@ShaneTwane

I am very nervous about it now. I really do hope that everything is okay. I have a plan or good or bad. I really hope I am wrong as I have a horrible feeling inside something wrong.

I had to message my manager to cancel my shift for that day too. I did say I would work a different day. But he just took me of Thursday which I suppose can't be helped. He is very good but wonder if he is a little annoyed but not saying as I said if was brought forward because I am anxious.

I remember going to work after having that bad cramp and because he was ill and had told me something personal about his health. It was like my worry for the pregnancy dismissed. He kept saying to me he has to do risk assessment but he still hasn't. Only my manager knows so it's like when I go he never asks me how I am etc. Delaying risk assessment for like a sign. All this hush hush is a sign.

I still cling to a bit of hope though. Because thinking about telling my teenager and my parents. Some people lately concerned about me and when I know okay can tell them why.

How is your Sunday going? How are you dealing with the heat?

Hopefully Thursday comes quickly for you and you don't need a bad news contingency plan.

I have the worst breath taking cramp today when I sneezed i couldn't breathe for a good twenty seconds after which was alarming. 9 days until my scan and I'm honestly trying to push it to the back of my head.

This heat is horrific though and usually i enjoy the heat, but yesterday I was sick as a dog and couldn't sleep despite my exhaustion. Been worried sick as well because I've been trying to phone my dad since Thursday and no answer i must have rung him about hundred times so I've been worried sick wondering why he isn't home as he doesn't really go out. Thankfully made contact with my mother today who's been away and she went round and found him home safely, turns out the landline has a serious fault and no calls at all have been going through. He's been blissfully unaware i was trying to contact him!

How are you doing in this heatwave?

Scorpio8 · 14/08/2022 22:14

@ShaneTwane

I am glad your day is okay. That's most definitely me when I can't get hold of my mum.
For me despite I feel like worrying in silence. There's so much other things to worry about while your trying not to worry.
Like I go to work and there's a lot to deal with. Other stuff going on but in your quiet moment after that stress you back to like thinking about this.
Very silently feel the worry. My OH being very positive and I am trying to be probably more for him than myself which extra worry of his reaction to Thursday. He is away so told him will tell when he comes back. I feel kind of selfish wishing he would say I won't go I will explain this is important time for us. Your worried I need to be there. But he hasn't and I know he been looking forward to this time away. Apart of me wants him away too.
I really do feel alone in this but hopefully everything going to be good news.

Not coping with the heat but also waking up with lower back pain and legs.

I will update you Thursday.

OP posts:
ShaneTwane · 14/08/2022 22:28

I know how you feel. When is he returning? Is there no way he can delay it until Thursday/Friday afternoon or is that out of the question? I know though as i want to go alone but my dp absolutely will insist on coming with me. He actually is really excited which is stressful because we want to just quietly get our heads together and find out what's really going on in there before we make plans whereas it seems the men just jump to it's happening let's plan everything now.

Feel free to share any stresses you have between now and Thursday and hopefully after Thursday it will be a much happier time. Hope you can get some sleep tonight, it's looking doubtful for me.

ShaneTwane · 15/08/2022 10:19

8 days until my scan and the closer it gets the more upset and nervous I feel.

Scorpio8 · 15/08/2022 14:58

@ShaneTwane

Feeling exactly the same because not sure how I will be after.
My son is at home and haven't told him yet.
I will be holding you hand thinking of you.

I been feel so emotional for days now because of the waiting.

My OH can't because he was needed to help with the kids.

I worked today and going home. Tired fed up not sleeping with my lower back and legs.

Could you not see if you can get it brought forward?

OP posts:
ShaneTwane · 15/08/2022 21:22

Thank you op you too! How have you been feeling today? I feel like a dummy. My scan is a week tomorrow so next Tuesday not next Wednesday as I've been thinking for months! It's only my mom told me today when I said Wednesday the 23rd she said no it's Tuesday the 23rd lol i had to go check my letter like the dummy i am.

Scorpio8 · 15/08/2022 23:33

@ShaneTwane
It will come fast your scan. I lose the days lol. Thinking a date falls on a certain but then my mum like the same lol.

I been crying this evening really like can't do this. I am very nervous about the scan Thursday. I was thinking how my OH not going to be here. I don't think he even understands what I am feeling. He took my son to do basketball and I just broke down. In that low moment said to a friend could I talk to them Thursday if I need too.

A friend asked me when the scan was? She offered to come but I really don't want no one there.
I honestly don't feel the same at all.

Last night another friend asking me what will I do about work. I just said ask me after Thursday. She went on about giving me baby clothes sorry I wish I hadn't told any friends.
So I ignored the message if I said I am worried about the scan why start going on about giving me baby clothes. Even if I am okay won't be thinking of that until last two months. Just put money aside for baby stuff. Too soon to be thinking all of that.
I do very low at the moment.
Sorry such a depressing response.

@Cockerwalk

I meant down the line something needs to done to help women like myself. You can't be left like that.

In my work today was serving pregnant women it was hard because of the not knowing. I couldn't feel excited but obviously no one knows it's too soon.
So when I saw heavily pregnant women just felt not good. They talking about baby showers and think hopefully everything okay planning mine.
I would of rather known sooner than later if I was miscarrying.

Try doing another preggo test so you will know if you're still pregnant. The epu will not do anything till after 12 weeks. You just have 2 wait

Scorpio8 · 16/08/2022 00:10

@SuePerdupa

My midwife very good and asked for my scan to be brought forward. She understands how anxious I am.
So won't have to wait much longer.

Have a cuppa and some biccies 🍪🍪

Bunnyfuller · 16/08/2022 00:50

I totally understand your anxiety, OP. I had 6 early miscarriages and then lost a twin in my first pregnancy that went to term, at 8 weeks.

hope the scan goes well, but be aware, with your anxiety levels, the first twinge you get after this scan you will feel exactly the same as you are now.

No amount of worrying is going to affect things either way, so maybe get some help around the anxiety.

The pains sound like round ligament pains which is literally pregnancy hormones stretching everything! They can really take your breath away. You can also have what feels like period pain in pregnancy, again, just everything growing and changing.

sintrawest · 16/08/2022 01:05

Good luck op Flowers

Batbatbatty · 16/08/2022 05:12

@Scorpio8 the poster @Bunnyfuller above is right....you understandably have massive anxiety about everything to do with this pregnancy.

You will soon have your scan but have you thought about what happens afterwards? I'm afraid you and the extreme anxiety will not long be satisfied after the scan and will move onto the next issue?

Would definitely be something to urgently discuss with your midwife. Otherwise you'll have no peace this entire pregnancy 😕

Scorpio8 · 16/08/2022 05:31

@Bunnyfuller

I honestly hope that I am wrong in all of this. Yes I won't be fine until baby is born.

@Batbatbatty

My midwife has referred to me rainbow at the moment. I need that scan done which I am so grateful she got it brought forward for me. Rainbow had booked me for January but happy that's also brought forward to September.

It's not like I am not aware of my anxiety and how I would feel after.
But let me get scan out of the way first and see.
I can't shake this feeling off.
Despite not feeling right for weeks I still have had to wait for weeks.
I can say much more until scan.

So grateful my midwife has helped me. Thanks for your responses.

@Bunnyfuller

I had a cyst which they told me had burst and it was nothing to worry about. So if all is okay which still can't say until Thursday. There most definitely something wrong with my right side. Another cyst that burst as I still felt sore on that side.

@ShaneTwane
That's what I meant to say to you my right side pain still there and sore. I am think another cyst burst as that big cramp was bad.
I think because I had laparoscopy and fell pregnant quickly that's why I worried more.
It's not that I don't get what people are saying on anxiety etc. I am doing talking therapies already. I will have extra help because of having a stillbirth anyway.
If all okay with pregnancy my question would be was that another cyst. The right side pain driving me crazy.

OP posts:
ShaneTwane · 16/08/2022 09:51

I do agree with others there's always going to be anxiety in pregnancy. Sometimes though the worst part genuinely is waiting for that 12 week scan to know what's happening in there. After that i feel medical professionals take us more seriously as well after them 12 weeks.

How is the pain today op? Only two more days until your scan isn't it? I'm convinced i have cysts in my ovaries because I occasionally get breathtaking stabbing pains that leave me doubled over unable to breathe.

In todays news my geneticist called and she was very Lovely and is sending dp a consent form to sign so she can access his medical records to try and fast track his appointment at the metabolic clinic. She's going to contact them and tell them I'm pregnant and see if me and dp need genetic tests to see what the likelyhood of our baby having this disease is. Hopefully it's low.

ShaneTwane · 16/08/2022 09:51

Oh and she was so lovely I told her about my previous loss and she said she's going to try and fast track everything for me.

Scorpio8 · 16/08/2022 12:13

@ShaneTwane

I am really happy about your phone call from geneticist. She does sound very nice and glad she will fast track everything for you.

@SuePerdupa

For you think that you must be the sick one here. I have no time for people as stupid as you to comment. I wouldn't make up a pregnancy then stress myself for no recent. Sounds like you and you need to remove your sick twisted comments from my thread.

That's for rainbow if you did read my post properly. I think they made a mistake why they sent appointment for September. With this I will regular scans maybe appointments.

Sounds like your the fake one going round being nasty to people that are pregnant because your faking probably because you can't get pregnant who knows. Very sick minded you sound.
