I’m 7 weeks today by LMP. My nausea has massively kicked in and I’ve now started with a UTI. How fun! 🤦‍♀️

I have a UTI as well... now I am questioning what are UTI symptoms and what are pregnancy?!

MrsR2018 · 21/09/2022 16:51

Hi all. I think I was on here but dived off for a while. Is there a fb group?!

tiantian1005 · 21/09/2022 19:27

I know I shouldn't be too obsessed with symptoms coming/going but I somehow convinced myself today that this one is over too and was so miserable all day :( my next scan is this Friday I am so dreading it and wish I could be sick right now...

StarsieZ · 21/09/2022 19:41

I've got my first scan on Friday next week, wanted to make sure my OH could come and I'm not sure about dates so wanted to make sure I was far enough along to see things, hope everyone is okay, I can't sleep, 4:41 am here and despite being ridiculously tired I'm wide awake 😂

@MrsR2018 there's a few! I'm in one for Aus and one that seems to be mostly in America but it's worldwide

@Awkwardusername I have done about 21 tests so far 🙃 I am 6+2 today and it's like a compulsion to keep checking it's real despite the nausea and fatigue, although this week I have slowed down to testing every other day ish instead of every single day 😅 I'm not sure when I'll stop. Maybe after my 8/9 week scan.

Awkwardusername · 22/09/2022 07:30

I’m theoretically 5+2 today (not had a scan yet though and I think I might be 7+2); tested yesterday and the test line definitely seemed lighter than previously. Did a digital and still got 3+, but then did another test this morning and it was almost patchy looking?

Really worried

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 22/09/2022 08:41

@Awkwardusername if the digital looks good I wouldn't be too worried - could just be one duff one.

If you think you are 7+2, will your 12 week scan be moved up?

Myotherusernameisaferrari · 22/09/2022 10:15

I'm 6 + 2 today. Boobs are slightly less sore and I've had some nausea but the food aversion is a headache! Went for breakfast this morning and the smell drove me outside. Still haven't thrown up though - anyone else the same? I'm almost worried I don't feel terrible enough!

RugbyGirl1 · 22/09/2022 10:25

@Myotherusernameisaferrari I've had the occasional sore boob and mild bouts of nausea that don't last very long. It's normal for symptoms to come and go and its even fairly normal to not get any symptoms at all so relax and enjoy not being sick! It may hit you in week 7, you never know! I'm taking the opportunity to eat super healthy, lots of veg etc incase I can't for a few weeks later...

Melusina123 · 22/09/2022 10:52

@Myotherusernameisaferrari In the best study I've found on nausea and miscarriage risk, they didn't distinguish between nausea intensity or vomiting, they just found that any reported nausea/vomiting was associated with lower miscarriage risk and this was fairly similar whether you had had it >half the weeks up to that point or <half (which could proxy for severity).

(Study is here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3140259/)

So in that sense the presence of any stomach upset is a protective factor. I was looking into this because my nausea has also been fairly mild (albeit severe enough to makee pretty miserable, but I've been able to eat more or less normally, and no vomiting).

And of course the odds are on everyone's side and most people who have no morning sickness still go on to have successful pregnancies.

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 22/09/2022 11:18

@Myotherusernameisaferrari also worth mentioning that nausea is common but actual vomiting is less usual! I think off the top of my head 1 in 3 who have nausea will.have actual vomiting at one pt

AstroAl · 22/09/2022 13:03

Joining in, if that’s okay?

Had a positive pregnancy test last Monday (12th) and because my periods are all over the place, I am high risk and I have a history of loss, they pulled me in for a scan last Thursday to determine how far along I am.

Sonographer saw a 3mm sac on the scan and estimated around 4 weeks.

I had bloods every two days, Thursday, Saturday and Monday (also yesterday but the nurse didn’t take enough blood for them to give a result 🙄) and whilst HCG is going up it isn’t doubling. I was not in a great place anxiety wise.

Had another scan yesterday and there is now a yolk in the sac and sonographer said I am probably around 5 weeks. She saw this as good process.

I have another scan on 5th October and I have no idea how to get myself to that sats without shaking myself silly with anxiety.

Trying to stop myself booking a private scan or doing a clear blue dating test in the hope of seeing 3+ weeks, as all I have got so far is 2-3 weeks.

Symtoms wise my boobs were sore but over night seem to have become much worse - even waking me up at one point.
I am also absolutely exhausted.

Myotherusernameisaferrari · 22/09/2022 13:24

Thank you everyone for the reassurance! Fingers crossed. I have myself the scare of my life just now as i had a very small, brown clot but after some googling, I think it was a result of DTD yesterday a little enthusiastically...

I had a missed miscarriage earlier this year so some stress about everything! Honestly, this pregnancy lark is no fun.

1sttimemum2023 · 22/09/2022 14:16

Hi all,

This is my first baby with my partner, positive tests (took 4, excessive I know) last Friday currently 5 weeks +5, a lot of cramps all over my torso, a little bit of back pain, sensitive breasts/nips, some slight nausea but nothing too serious yet. I've heard it will come on soon, but this twinges/twitches are certainly something new!!

Registered for early bird pregnancy and awaiting my appointment. Currently in the process of moving house this weekend, so no lifting for me. Ahh what a shame...haha!!

I'm 6ft tall, so this is going to be an interesting pregnancy. So looking forward to the first scan, booking private for 10 weeks as birthday present. Looking forward to being on this journey!!

Super weird but is anyone freezing cold? I am so so cold, but have no nausea and only faintly sore boobs.

6+2 today and wondering if anyone else is feeling SO cold? I vaguely remember this from my 1st pregnancy as well (although it was Jan/Feb when I was this stage last time so it would have been cold)

just me??

I've just pushed in to my 7th week and symptoms have started to show now, I haven't been physically sick but the nausea started yesterday and also started feeling really cold with goosebumps etc but in another breathe, I can be absolutely roasting! 🤦🏻‍♀️

RugbyGirl1 · 23/09/2022 08:20

@Janch13 I've been cold in the evenings, had to have a blanket to help keep me warm as I refuse to put the heating on in September! DH is in shorts and t-shirts still so it's definitely me and not the general temp of the house 😂

Gizzy93 · 23/09/2022 09:01

I just got my second beta results and they jumped to 1210!

I am absolutely freezing too.
I'm usually on the hot side of things but currently wearing lots of layers and still shivering.

@MrsR2018 if you go onto the birth groups and find may there’s one linked in there
