I have just found out I am pregnant (tested day 27 so very early) but my only symptoms at the moment are strange cramping sensations. Saw Consultant yesterday and he said that was normal but am so worried as i had a m/c in Oct last year and I had similar cramping. Can anyone help and reassure me that this can be nornmal. I am so obsessed that it isn't going to implant. HELP xxx

No sore boobs yet either, but headaches just started kicking in not sure if they are a sign or not?? Hungry too much of the time, eating food like it is going out of fashion!!

Good to see you are feeling more positive. Join us on Nov Thread as Carrieboo said. Look forward to seeing you over there x

When is your due date?

i'm glag i found this site.i'm 5 weeks 3 days preg. i'm little worryed this is my first preg and i'm 30 years old doc thinks i will lose this baby due to some bleeding i have had it's nothing like a period at all some might be red but then it truns brown 5 mins later but it doesnt even soak a pad at all few drops here and there i need help.. i'm just praying and it seems to be helping...

LolaBella · 08/03/2008 14:25

Baldwins - it might be implantation bleeding, brown blood is old blood too. Many women bleed and still go on to have a healthy pregnancy. Try and get to your Early Pregnancy Unit for a scan it might help put your mind at rest.
Fingers crossed for you x

baldwins · 08/03/2008 14:28

yeh they did a scan 4 days ago and seen the little pea but he still thinks it gonna end.

baldwins · 08/03/2008 14:30

LolaBella · 08/03/2008 14:37

baldwins · 08/03/2008 14:53

only just seen this, but wanted to reply to baldwins now.

baldwins, hcg varies from pg to pg let alone from woman to women. dont agree to a d&c unless you are absolutely sure. there are plenty of stories of women who have been told that HCG isnt good enough and everything has turned out ok. admittedly thats not always the case, but i bled from 5w-20w with ds and got bfp/bfn/bfp/bfn in the first few weeks. i have also had 7 mc's, so i know how frightened you are, but dont give up hope yet.

right, off to read thread...

OracleInaCoracle · 08/03/2008 15:10

pinkali37, i too have had cramping in all of my pg's. just take it easy...

LolaBella · 08/03/2008 16:08

Baldwins, i agree with lissielou - don't give up hope yet. There are so many similar stories to your on this network with happy endings. Here's hoping x

baldwins · 08/03/2008 18:33

i'm not today hasnt been anything a little light brown when i wipe thats it so i'm not as worryed today.. thanks god hes gonna take care of me and no i'm not letting the doctor do anything if it wasnt ment to be i would pass it on my own and with god i'm not... i go back monday for another scan i hope to see the heart beat or the baby growing and level jumped... please pray i'm doing the same for all of you

OracleInaCoracle · 08/03/2008 18:35

of course sweetheart x

expatinscotland · 08/03/2008 18:36

hope it all goes well, pinka!

i had m/c last year, a missed one - where my body never expelled the dead foetus, so i had to have ERPC.

am pregnant again and a wreck.

i can't face going for an early scan.

i think i'm about 6 weeks now.

haven't even told my surgery.

you're not alone in freaking out or feeling paranoid. it's totally normal.

baldwins · 08/03/2008 18:37

hi you all

Pinkali37 · 10/03/2008 08:40

Hi All,

Good weekend as not too much cramping. In fact only a very little. Still think my bowel is being stupid My sister was up from London this week and she is 12 weeks preg so of course the scan pictures were out. I felt a bit weird cos no one knows about mine (apart from my mum).

A new symptom - going for a wee every half an hour at night !!! Plus a dragging feeling like i've been holding onto it for ages before I go and a complete relief to let go. Anyone else have a strange pain when weeing???

Thank you lolabella and Carrieboo I will have a nosey at the other thread.

4 Weeks and 5 days today... xxx

Hi Pinkali, belgo here, I've namechanged . Glad to hear everything is still alright.

It is possible you've got a urinary infection, go to the doctors, and drink lots of water! Going to the toilet so frequently and a strange pain are symptoms of urinary tract infections.

Pinkali37 · 10/03/2008 08:46

Hello.. It doesn't feel like an infection. My sister who is 12 weeks preg says she gets the same dragging feeling. I may pop to the doc just to find out though. Remind me again, how far are you?? xxx

Carrieboo and Lolabella - Where is the due November thread, I can't find it... xxxx
