Anxious

6 weeks 2 days today and anxious as hell. Had symptoms like hungry, food aversions, needing a wee constantly, skin isn’t great. Did have sore boobs/nipples but not as bad now.

Still testing but the line on the right hand side was getting faint (dye stealer) last week and now a bit darker. Would that be a cause for concern?

Have a scan in 2 days can’t wait to put my mind at ease!

I’ve been testing all the time worried about the same things and I think stop taking tests and wait for your scan, tests can be so inaccurate for so many reasons, wishing all the best for you and your baby! X

Thank you, I know this is what I should do but so used to testing as had 2 MC in June/July so this is my 3rd pregnancy in 4 months ☹️ arghh can’t wait for weds hopefully can see a heartbeat 🤞🏻✨

Thank you. I think I’m going to have to stop testing for my own sanity. I keep telling myself I’m pregnant right now and have no reason to believe I’m not 🤞🏻☹️✨ everything crossed for weds x

If you look up the hook effect - it’s when your hcg is getting so high that the tests start to become fainter - if you dilute your wee with water it might go back to the test line being darker. I know it’s hard but try to look at it as a good thing - as you said you’re pregnant and there’s no reason to believe you’re not, try and enjoy it! Congratulations ❤️

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
