I'm doing ok. Starting to get some anxiety while waiting for my first appt next week. And I'm hungry all the time and all food seems gross. Minus applesauce. I'm ready to tell family but just waiting for the heartbeat.
And freezing...temperatures are 20 below zero!

Ladies I need some advice, after 2 kids my pram is a bit worst for wear. I am in need of some advice on brands of prams that have the 3 in 1 systems. What brands are good, which aren't.

I’m kinda freaking out, 9 weeks 3 days and since late 5 weeks I have been extremely sick and tired. For the past 3 days I have not been sick or nearly as tired and this morning I started spotting. I used my fetal Doppler and found the heart beat but this is right around the time (10 w 1d) that we miscarried previously. Has anyone experienced this and what did you do?

Lindsay, I freaked out at my ~8 week appointment because my symptoms had pretty well vanished and he/she was still in there with a strong heartbeat. I'm freaking out again because my symptoms have lessoned, again, but I'm trying to be patient for my 2/11/19 scan. It's so hard to relax at this time but we just have to.

How did you find the heartbeat so early with your doppler?

It was actually really easy, I had been looking under my pelvic bone and to the right based on my ultrasound I thought it should be around there with no luck. Then a few days ago I just happened to start right in the middle just above my pelvic bone (angled down) and immediately I could hear it! Was about 155bpm.

@lindsay how are you doing? Still spotting? Is there pain associated?

Hi Lindsay, i was advised when my symptoms were suddenly less severe that as your body gets used to the hormones, your symptoms aren't as noticeable. If your spotting is building up and is bright red, i would go to emergency, if its brownish or pink and very light, i would call your care provider and try and get another scan. I hope everything is okay.

Throughout the day the spotting lessened and has stopped tonight, my doctor said unless I was filling a pad an hour to wait it out. I have found the heart beat this evening and haven’t had any cramps. I spent the day in a recliner just trying to take it easy. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, after a miscarriage pregnancy can be terrifying!

I'm so glad things seem to be calming down with the spotting Lindsay, i miscarried at 11 weeks about 5 years ago so i do feel your pain and i'm sending you big hugs! Just keep taking it easy

As for me, I am full on craving choc mint and sour straps and cannot even think about eating veggies which i usual eat every night, shouldn't be worried about disappearing symptoms
