Expecting my 3rd baby - early pregnancy nerves

View Full Post

Hi everyone, I'm now week 6 of pregnancy and I'm so paranoid! I've miscarried before and I'm stressing myself out worrying, I know I should be positive but I can't shake it... I also know what's meant to be is meant to be but it means so much to me this time.
My husband starts radiotherapy this week for cancer and it's going to leave him infertile so this baby is our last one by natural means! I need to get positive and stay positive but every twinge, cramp, and funny feeling down below has me running to the toilet to check for signs of MC....
Arghhhhhh....

Hey Ladies,
It has been ages since I posted.

AKJ - you must be delighted and relieved. What great news. Delighted things are going well.

Hopeful - did you have your follow up scan? How are things?

emmalou - time ticking away to the 10th of July. I'm sure you both can't wait.

AFM - just over the 7 weeks and feeling tired, headaches and slight nausea. haven't got a GP appointment until 7th July so no date for the scan yet. Have def put on weight - eating is not great at the moment and not making the healthiest of choices - due to tiredness and workload. Must try harder!!

I saw this board, and immediately it called me in! Lol

I am just over 4 weeks, after a miscarriage in Sept 2016, and after months of trying with the help of fertility meds. We decided to take some time off from the fertility specialist, and just be us. Funny, we got our on Father's Day. It just seems so surreal.

Had my first HCG BT it was 34 on 13dpo, then two days later it was 89. So we are doubling and then some. I go again today, to make sure it's still moving up.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi ladies,

So I had my 8week 6day scan.. heartbeat is 162bpm .. baby measures 1.55cm..
Only worrying part is that as per the scan baby is only 7week 6days..
So that's 1week less ... The doctor said there is nothing to worry..
But ofcourse I am pulling my hair and going through websites like a maniac because last scan showed correct days...

Next scan is on 22nd July .. that's 4weeks from now (sigh)..
Has anyone dexperience something like this ..??did the baby's growth catch up?

@BabyHutton2836 - Welcome dear ... Congrats on ur ..

Hi hopeful, the sonographer may not have taken measurements too well, your baby is so small still, a few millimetres out will make a massive difference. The main thing is that you have a lovely strong heartbeat, that means everything. It all sounds very positive to me - so happy for you...

Sorry I've not responded too much lately, my husband has been really poorly, his radiotherapy finishes in Tuesday so hopefully he'll perk up a bit. I've still been bleeding every couple of weeks, baby seems to be doing well tho, lovely string heartbeat, we got to see them again at a reassurance scan last week. 10 weeks now so praying it all works out well... my midwife thinks I may have polyps causing the bleeding, will have to book an apt with my GP for a check up.

Hi Baby Hutton, glad to hear you've got your rainbow baby, congratulations! Lots of baby dust your way. My first little boy was a rainbow baby, he's 4 now, I know how precious this must be for you...

Hope all you other lovely ladies are progressing along nicely, keep us updated, it may take me a few days to respond but I will.

Looking forward to hearing xxxxx

Hi emmalou117,

I wish your husband a fast recovery .. my aunt was a cancer patient and it was very hard on all of us.. I can very much understand what your going through ..
Waiting to hear a good news from your next scan ...

@hopeful... Maybe you're little bean will just be a smaller baby? Not sure if that's how it all works or not, but it sounds logical. Maybe, they just didn't do good measuring on the ultrasound.

@emmalou... I hope your husband's last radiotherapy appointment goes well, and he gets to feeling better soon. I've never thought about this being my rainbow baby, but I guess you're right it is. I have a 15 year old, so it's been a while since I've been in the pregnancy loop. Lol

Hope everyone has a blessed week!

Hey all you lovely ladies!

For118: Isn't is tough to eat healthy?!? Omg my body only wants the junk! Hopefully you will get that first scan soon!

Hopeful: I would try your best not to worry about the measurements being off. I have read that it is actually pretty normal. Hang in there! That's a nice strong heartbeat! 162!!

Babyhutton: Congratulations on the BFP after 'not' trying! Funny how that works! So glad for you!! Are your numbers still rising nicely? How are you feeling??

AFM: 8 and a half weeks! We told my mom today, she was happy. Also, both yesterday AND today I found my baby'a heartbeat on our home Doppler!! Such a milestone! I am so happy!! Feeling absolutely miserable otherwise though, constantly tired and nauseas!

Hi ladies, I've been meaning to message for a while...

How is everyone getting on with their pregnancies?

I'm now 22 weeks along and have recently found out I'm having a little girl. I have 2 boys so I'm super made up.

My husband is on the mend also, he's post-op and is recovering.

Would love to hear from you all.

Emma xx
