Due October 2023 -Thread 2

[Needtobuildabridge]

Hi all,

We finished the last thread pretty quickly! Here's a new one 😊

@Ss32 how exciting. You must be the furthest along of us x

@MeganC104 don't be worrying, I never got a dye stealer on the IC for whatever reason. I got 3+ on the digital and relied on my HCG blood test after that!

Possibly, from my LMP I should’ve been 8+6 which made me due on 1st October but today they predicted 29th September

Hi All, i am Natali.
From the app I'm 6w + 1 day. And I'm terrified.
My period was 10 days late and got a positive test. Did three of them to be sure 😃 two days after went to get an ultrasound as app was showing then 5 weeks. But the ultrasound didn't show anything. They even did an internal ultrasound but was empty. They told me to get my blood tested for HCG levels as maybe I'm just early and dates are off.
HCG levels growing double as should be.
She told me on monday to get another ultrasound as now above 4200 and should be seen on ultrasound.
But I'm terrified! What if nothing is there ????
I have been waiting for a week hoping the longer I wait more chances there are . I know that's stupid.
I have an appointment for next week Tuesday. And I'm just terrified. I don't know how to stay positive. I have the symptoms. Very gasy, bloaty, breasts are swollen, very tired and moody. But that could also just be me lol
I have been on this group for over a week. Seeing all your lovely stories. And some sad stories.
I was scared to say anything. Afraid to jinx it. But I am just not coping with the anxiety. I feel I am annoying the people around me closest with my constant question : I am pregnant right?
That's me I guess.
Ps this is my first pregnancy and have been trying for nearly 2 years.

Hi @natalik .. sorry to read your situation. If I were you I would go to another ultrasound and see! It could be good news and you might be worrying and there could be a lovely little bean waiting to be seen! ... Either way my personal view is it's good to know what is going on inside and keep yourself safe. I hope everything works out for you. 💕

Thank you @katherine123x ❤️

Does anyone know if panic attacks can cause problems early pregnancy? Just had a massive one. Whole body went numb and chest tightened

@VictoriaBlossom i just took a frer 😄😄😄🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

@NSx
Ohhhh I feel emotional! We're twinning yet again!

@natalik heyaaaa and welcome.
I think we will all understand where you're coming from. If your app said 5 weeks maybe you weren't that far along.
I am also pregnant first time so do not have the experience that a lot of the ladies have here. But if your hcg is increasing I'd say you must be in good stead for bean growing? But don't quote me because I'm making a complete assumption there.
Put yourself out of your misery and stress and go get scanned. And please don't do this alone, MN is great to speak to a complete stranger and feel less stressed after 😊

@VictoriaBlossom I can officially stop testing 🥺🤍✨ I was so nervous to take this but you encouraged me 💕💕💕💕 #twinning

@MeganC104 be careful, stress is really not good in early pregnancy. Within 48 hours of finding out my best friend passed away I miscarried. We will never know if it was going to be inevitable or the sheer volume of stress I went though.

@NSx TWINNNINNNGGGGGGG ❤️❤️❤️😍😍❤️😍❤️😍😍😍😍

@VictoriaBlossom I managed to recover from the attack pretty quickly but I'm now I'm really worried about what effect it's had. I've been so calm up until this point as well and I haven't had a panic attack in 2 years.

@MeganC104 women with anxiety and panic attacks have been successfully having babies for eternity so if you can get back into a good place I can't see how one attack would cause any issues.
May be worth having a chat with your midwife x

Thank you for the support ❤️ @VictoriaBlossom

@katherine123x Good luck today 🍀

@Ss32
Congratulations! You're about the same dates as me :) I'm 9 weeks 1day today according to my early reassurance scan.

Update: I'm out of hospital but feeling rubbish again. The new meds they prescribed as they were out of cyclizine aren't stopping the vomiting. Waiting for a call back from 111. Hoping I can get hold of some soon!

Errrr just checking in but today I have felt absolutely terrible. OH is on 24h call out so when he left earlier I cleaned the kitchen and put a wash on. But I have a really bad headache across the front of my head.
I put South Park on (I've been desperate to watch that latest episode that everyone's kicking off about) and fell asleep, woke up, put it on again, fell asleep again!
Third time lucky
Just ate some chocolate and it feels like the headaches subsided, I've cut coffee from 6 cups of bean to cup coffee to one. So don't know if that's kicking me in the brain or what. 😂

@braxxen I'm glad you're out of hospital darl. Keeping everything crossed 111 can sort you!

Hi everyone, im on my 3rd baby, 6 weeks + 2 and I am nervous! Forgot all about the cramping and light spotting so have been major worried today. Hope everyone is doing well

I feel like total crap today. Had a pregnancy nightmare about losing my baby, which obviously didn't help. The nausea combined with constipation is really special!

@VictoriaBlossom 💜💜💜 sorry not been on this all day been out! How are u feeling?

@natalik hi and welcome 🤍 I can imagine how anxious you are right now, but hopefully all is well and you get the reassurance you need off the scan 🤍🤍✨

@SunnyShan i think it’s so normal to be nervous; I am too and I’m only 5 weeks! Hope you’re doing well xx

@NSx I'm zonked bad headache but after what i read with all the studies on paracetamol I will stay as drug free as I can. Even if a headache knocks me out and turns me into a sofa slug for a few hours 😂
Hope you're having a good day

@cruciverbalista oh babe I am feeling you. Exactly the same over here too
