Hello all,
Might sound crazy but today I woke up and just felt different, my boobs barely hurt and I don't feel as sick as I have done the last few weeks, I'm freaking out something has happened to the baby, I literally had my 6 week scan yesterday where the heartbeat was seen. I've got my self in a right panic! After all my history my anxiety is through the roof! 😢 has anyone else experienced this with their pregnancies? Any guidance greatly appreciated ❤️
oh no! Everything went well yesterday, didn’t it? Do you think some of the symptoms you were having leading up to that were anxiety, and now you’ve seen the heartbeat etc, you’ve relaxed a little..? How are you feeling as the day has gone on? From memory of my last pregnancy, I don’t think I really relaxed until the last few weeks where I felt lots of kicks and had the growing bump… between every appt there is something to worry about xx
Hiya,
Oh god I had a proper meltdown 🥹 woke up to no symptoms and panicked so bad! Then my symptoms ended up coming back the next day after all that panic. It's going to be one hell of an anxiety journey that's for sure. I'm petrified every moment of the day. How are you feeling? Xxx
I am very much like you... symptom spotting and panicking when they come & go! Just trying to get by until my scan on 24th... what's the next step for you? Are you booked with a midwife? xx
They come and go so much! I ended up going for a scan yesterday for reassurance, heart is still beating away 🥰 got to hear it but was such mixed emotions of happiness and sadness as we remembered our little boys heartbeat for the last time 💔 ahh not long till your scan!!! I have my midwife appt booked it and we actually managed to get it with the midwife who delivered our little boy🌈 how about you? Xxx
Ahh I'm so glad you had that extra scan yesterday.. I've been so close to booking a private one but thought I probably wouldn't see much yet, might as well hold out until Monday's one. I bet the weekend is going to drag! I'm sorry it brought back memories, that must be so tough. He'll always be with you 💙 how special that you have the same midwife too. We have been given the midwife who was our student midwife at the time of having our son, can't wait to see her again - that appt is on the 4th, so things are getting closer now! I also find my symptoms can vary depending on how distracted I am, the more I sit still and think about it, the more I feel, but if I'm busy & distracted I think they've disappeared! Will you have extra scans and monitoring because of your history? xx
He will 💙 amazing! how nice you get to have a midwife you know too🥰 I have my appt on the 3rd so not far away from yours 😂 that's my problem, I haven't really been busy and have just been symptom spotting all the time. So we will have scans every 2 weeks for now and I think the consultants at the Evelina children's hospital will be in touch for a more detailed scan later on in the pregnancy given our history even though we know we aren't carriers of our little boys condition. Do you think you're having the NHS scans or would you go private too in between? Xx
Oh wow, we must be close in dates then - remind me when your due date is? Mine is 9th Oct currently. Yep, so easy to symptom spot when it's constantly on your mind! My nephew had to be terminated at 22 weeks, he had brittle bone disease - and although he wasn't mine, losing him very much affected me and has caused extra anxiety with potential pregnancies. Great that you're getting that extra support, and also knowing that your not carriers of the condition. Will you find out the gender of this baby? Ours has been a long road (started TTC in 2012, EC in 2017) with only ever two positive pregnancy tests - our son being born in 2018 - and now this pregnancy. I've been fortunate not to experience any direct losses or complications. I did have quite a traumatic birth with my son, so I'm going to ask for a planned section this time around, and be consultant lead hopefully. My fertility consultant also works in obs & gynae, so hoping I can request him (as he is incredible!) I have booked a private gender scan at 16.5 weeks, partly because I struggled to go between the 12 weeks and 20 weeks NHS scans. and partly so that my son can come along to the scan too. Will see how I get on after the 20 week one, it feels like such a long time between that and birth! xx
Mine is the 8th of October !! ❤️ so sorry to hear about your nephew, don't worry I understand how that affected you as mine and my partner's siblings were absolutely devastated. 100% will be wanting to know gender so will book in for a scan also, though at our 12 week scan the guy actually told us it was a boy so who knows if we find out then again. Would be lovely if you could get him also as I think it helps with any anxiety when you know the person. Ahh well looks like we are on this journey at the same time that's for sure. Xxx
Totally normal! Symptoms come and go. I’ve just had a baby and I remember googling the same thing in my pregnancy- especially first trimester. I was sick as a dog and I’d have random days where I just felt fine and panicked that it meant something had gone wrong. Boobs especially went through phases of hurting and not hurting. The symptoms changing and coming and going lasted all through my pregnancy (I had morning sickness the whole pregnancy). For me when I had a couple of days where it went and I felt ‘normal’ it usually meant it would suddenly come back worse! To the point my sister would laugh at me when I complained my symptoms had gone because she warned that it would be back and worse! From excessive googling in the early days it turns out this happens to most people. My pregnancy went fine

hello thank you so much for your reply and reassurance! Your comment and everyone else's has truly made me feel better about everything in regards to the symptoms coming and going! The symptoms hit me bad the next day lol i'm glad your pregnancy went well ❤️ i'm sure I will be back here in a few days with something else😂 xxx
I remember feeling this anxiety in pregnancy when symptoms decreased. I was beside myself but everything was fine. It is just normal for symptoms to come and go. I hope you can relax.
hello thank you for your reply and reassurance!❤️ xxx
My symptoms came and went all the time and mostly I didn’t really feel pregnant until much later on. It’s so hard to over analyse every single thing when you’ve been through so much to get to this point.
hello thank you so much for your reply and reassurance!❤️ it's been such a long and painful journey. It's just hard to believe I'm actually pregnant!! Xxx
Symptoms definitely come and go - but also from experience - if something does happen you don't just "stop" feeling symptoms - they take a while to fade out.
Its more likely that your body is just getting used to the level of hormones that have been increasing in your body.

hello thank you so much for your Reassurance, they definitely do come and go as after writing that post the next day they came back 🤦🏽♀️ xxx
This was exactly me all week. My symptoms disappeared a day or two after my six week scan, from a lot to absolutely zero, and I was convinced it had ended. Seven weeks scan yesterday - all fine!! So just to say that I completely understand. I read every post on every forum in existence (probably), and it really does seem to be the case that it is very, very common and not an indicator on its own of anything worrying. Sending a huge hug. It is an unbelievably stressful time after loss and/or infertility. My own calm is going to last 24h maximum. 🩷
congratulations on your pregnancy❤️
Thank you so much for your lovely message! My symptoms actually came back the following day so panicked over nothing but I'm sure I will find something else to panic about now LOL feels like a dream on pregnant again after losing my little boy 🌈 I wish you all the best in your pregnancy xxx
hi, symptoms definitely wax and wane and that’s completely normal. Some days I could eat normally and other days I was stuck on coco pops. It’s a tough time when it’s early , I remember the anxiety well but try to distract yourself and the days and weeks will pass xx
Hello❤️ thank you so much for the reassurance! I just want time to fast forward to 12 weeks

A heartbeat at 6 weeks is such a positive step, please don’t doubt your pregnant. If they didn’t give you any reason to worry at the scan then you should be over the moon, your chances go up big time from here, congratulations my darling. Symptoms come and go. I promise you, look it up on every forum going, you are not alone it’s extremely normal. I can tell you my boobs deflated and symptoms left at like 8 weeks, didn’t feel pregnant again until my 12 week scan because I could see her. Then shortly after that my symptoms faded again and I was thrust back into doubt all the way up to my 20 week scan even with a clear bump developing at 15 weeks I still thought something was wrong. You’ve been through such a lot, and anxiety’s a b*****d. Try not to worry take each beautiful blessing like a scan a celebratory Mile. Sending lots of love and hugs your way. Xx
Hello lovely,
thank you so much for your lovely message ❤️ it's just really sad as I just want to enjoy being pregnant but I'm just so petrified all the time!
