Due November 2023 - part 2

New thread 😀

Is anyone else cold, I do normally feel the cold but the last few days I can't get warm at all, I've had bath followed by fluffy pyjamas in bed with heating on and still just don't feel warm at all. Wondering if it's a total coincidence or related.

Still undecided when to tell the drs I've had a positive, I'm off work at the moment following an accident at work so have a sick note until 2nd and got to see the nurse again on 31st. So unsure to mention it whilst I'm there on the 31st anyway as I'll be 5 weeks 2 days by then or to wait another week or 2.

@HayleyD93 yes! I'm normally not that sensitive to cold but since finding out I was pregnant I can't get warm in the house!

I don’t think it’s fair to tell people not to get tests or worry that their symptoms have disappeared & that their pregnancy will be okay! Everybody is entitled to worry as much as they want & find coming here & hearing others feel the same reassuring. Also, not every pregnancy is okay & many people on this thread appear to have experienced that before.

@HayleyD93 yes I've been feeling the cold more. I often run a bit cold anyway but feel like it's been moreso over the last couple of weeks.

Hi all, I'm currently 6 weeks and EDD 17th November, had a MMC at 12 week scan in December so share all the anxiety you have :( this time though I feel so nauseous constantly so had to tell my boss. Have an hour drive to work and back which is so challenging! Wishing us all lots of luck and healthy babies xx

I've had my first wave of total nausea and sweats this afternoon at 4 +6. Seeing all your posts, I am now bracing myself if this is now setting in! Also terrible headaches, and 4am wake ups! Joy! I'll take it all though ig it's sticking x

I've woke up at 3am the past three nights too and can't get back off. Witching hour...

I’ve been feeling cold! I did in my first pregnancy too and I also suffered from insomnia. I wake up around 4am and can’t go back to sleep, that happened in all my pregnancies. I’m not sure if it’s hormones or if I’ve just got too many thoughts going around in my head..

Anyone here sleep on their side? I usually sleep on my side but have been experiencing something weird lately - I can't stay on my side too long as my hip area 'falls asleep' and so I end up needing to switch to my back (which I find very uncomfortable) to get blood flow moving before moving back on my side again and then I keep moving around like that throughout the night. Very odd and specific but maybe someone knows what's that all about ?

I’ve been getting little shooting pains in hips & top of legs & pelvis today. Nothing sore just like a quick ping! Anybody else?

Anyone else struggling with reduced productivity?

normally so motivated and have so much energy but last night I slept for 10 hours and then still had to have a 3h nap today!

@medicmumma oh my god yes!! But not just because I'm tired but because I feel nauseous all day I can't seem to do anything and then I end up napping because I'm better being asleep!

@Mldn I was the same today too was wondering wat it was a bit like pressure I still have sore boobs and nausea a family member said to me it's because there so much going on with my body for the baby

I have developed mega bloating today - I feel about 18 weeks pregnant! Not very comfortable. At least my nausea has been better last few days.

welcome @Enigma85 ☺️ sorry to hear about your loss. I was the exact same as you, MMC and only picked up at my 12 week scan. I had a blighted ovum so it was just an empty sac, no baby. I’m 7 weeks today but think closer to 6 due to late ovulation. Got an early scan booked for next Sunday and I’m so scared of seeing no baby on the screen again. Totally feel your pain in terms of anxiety, it’s a whole new level being pregnant after a loss. An hour drive with nausea does not sound nice at all 😩 hopefully it starts to settle down soon 🤞🏼

Me too I am usually a good sleeper but keep waking up 4am...!!
My due date expected early Dec and I am only 3weeks 3 days, to early to say this little bean would stick or not yet, many many fingers crossed.
Hope for the best but expect any outcome really 😅!
I see this thread been so popular :)!!

Hi all, not been so active on here for a couple of days I struggle to follow all the messages sometimes but find it so comforting reading similar symptoms and knowing I'm not going mad!

Hcg results from 3 blood tests this week:
Hcg level 20/03 (4+1)- 251
Hcg level 22/03 (4+3)- 567
Hcg level 24 (4+5) - 1117 (done a few hours under 48 hours)

I understand as long as its nearly doubling this is about right.

Symptoms -
Cramping daily on and off everyday for the last week (like light period achey pains) the last 2 days sometimes really deep in my hip bone (left side - also where I have a small cyst) the left side I'm definitely more aware of even though cramps have also been middle and right side. Earlier in the week the left side pain occasionally was felt down the inside of my left leg. Haven't had that for a couple of days atleast though. I'm very worried the additional cramps on the left may be a sign of ectopic.

Q - With ectopic do you still get usual uterus cramping or is it generally cramping one side until it ramps up and is severe pain on that side?

Cramps for a few minutes after an orgasm?! Hoping this is safe! From what I've read it is.

Exhausted - initially thought it was due to lack of sleep last weekend due to my anxiety then waking in the night and laying awake anxious. But I've had to nap three times this week!! I'm also in bed 2-3 hours earlier every night.

Occasional sharp pain in my crotch.

My heavier achey boobs at the start of the week are now more achey and noticeable - my dog climbed on me earlier I nearly screamed in shock they hurt!

I had some nausea yesterday but not sure if that was what I'd eaten (lots of sugar when I don't usually eat much sugar).

Wanting boiled sweets all the time - Haven't bought them in years?!!! I'm a chocolate person all over and have not been fussed with chocolate at all I just want pear drops or rhubarb and custards. Not sure if that's a hormone/pregnancy thing though?! But I wonder if the sucking a sweet helps me with my anxiety and is a bit of a distraction.

Going through phases of anxiety. Trying to follow some of your advice of breathing techniques and positive affirmations - I have a list of positive things I go through when I'm anxious (ie good symptoms/hcg levels good/20 positive tests - just to remind myself I'm okay and things will be okay regardless). Also to help my anxiety I've already started researching baby things I need (like if I have a plan or something to do it takes my mind off it!) I'm hoping this technique doesn't then lead me to devastation.

I have a scan booked for Thursday at 5+4 I know this is really early but hoping it helps my anxiety about being ectopic - we will hopefully see the little sesame seed is atleast in the uterus. Anyone had any experience if a scan in the 5th week? I have a friend who had a scan at 5+6 and got a heartbeat. I'm not that hopeful.

Also thank you to someone who mentioned coming off of anti depressants recently. I thought mine were fine to take but it prompted a call to my gp im now going to taper off (hoping this doesn't then increase my anxiety too much!!)

Really panicking guys 😭😭 just woke up to some bright red bleeding. What do i do😭😭im so scared

@Chip131 how many weeks are you? Has it stopped? Do you have a local epu you can call. Sending love.

So last night I had really bad stomach cramps (needing the toilet I think) so I went to the loo then the cramps were really bad so I got on the floor. Must have passed out and hit my nose cos I came round pools of blood everywhere realised I was having a nosebleed. It was awful feels like I've broken my nose. Now I'm scared the cramps/diarrhoea were a side effect of the cyclizine which worked great for my sickness yesterday so I don't know whether to take any more. 😵‍💫

@Chip131 definitely call your EPU. Praying everything will be ok for you xx

Im 6 weeks. Rang 111 and out of hours doctor is going to ring ne back. Epu shut though on Saturdays😭

Hi all, tentatively joining. We have been trying since Nov 21. Had suspected ectopic in Jan 22 which led to tube removal. Turned out to be a normal MC but had led to internal bleeding and sepsis. Been trying in earnest since. This month had paid for private fertility assessment and had sex once all month (kinda given up!) and bam here I am pregnant! 4+2 atm already very nauseous and tired. So nervous after my MC last year but trying to stay positive. Didn’t even make it to 5 weeks last time but do feel different this time.

@Chip131 tmi but was it after a bowel movement? I’ve had bleeding in all my pregnancies including this one. I have cervical erosion which they think was causing it. Our EPU is closed at weekends too, a&e booked me in when I was there on a Saturday when I had bright red bleeding with my first. Obvs can go either way but def doesn’t always mean somethings wrong.

@Chip131 oh! Are you cramping too? I hope it does stop soon. Can you call epu?

No cramping and no bleeding anymore.. It was quite a small amount but bright red. Doctor was not concerned but has booked me into epu next week. Just really hope its okay but i know its not a great sign😭pregnancy test still strong at present xx

My nausea has gotten worse the last few days. I now have this strange soapy taste in my mouth and it's putting me off eating as well. Boobs have also gotten a lot sorer. I'm 8 weeks+4 and haven't had a lot of symptoms up to this point.
