First Trimester

Just wondering how everyone gets over first trimester anxiety before we can get scans? Me and my partner have been trying for over 2 years to conceive as he’s some fertility issues. This pregnancy came as such a (lovely) shock to us as we genuinely never expected to see those two lines on a test! I’m now living every single second of every day worried that something bad is going to happen to our miracle baby. I think it’s worse when i’m not feeling any symptoms too - which i’ve read is completely normal, but i’d rather have symptoms than not🙂

Congratulations! I haven’t really got symptoms either and I’m sooo anxious, my Google search history is wild 😂 but other people have said this is normal in the beginning so trying to trust the process 🤞🏻

How many weeks are you? I think I’m coming up to week 5 but it’s still so early isn’t it, trying to relax because I’m sure the symptoms will come and I’ll hate it 😆

i should be 5+2 now going off the first day of my last period, but my periods tend to be around 33 days so i might actually be just short of 5 weeks! it’s so worrying isn’t it! hoping for a healthy pregnancy and baby for you!🥰

Thank you so much, sending all the positive vibes to you too! It’s so reassuring being able to talk to people on this app! 🤞🏻💫

Avatar

thankyou! it is isn’t it🥰 it’s been my most used app since I found out! It’s so nice seeing other mums go through the same thing at the same time🙈

Avatar

Definitely! Feel free to message me any time, would be nice to hear how you get on with symptoms as we’re almost the same weeks! 😊

I just found out yesterday I am pregnant! After a bit over a year and a half of trying and I'm exactly the same, I've no idea what to do with myself!
I think I am 4+6 so five weeks tomorrow!

Avatar

just try not to turn to google🙈 i’m googling absolutely everything and i think that’s making it worse! Congratulations🤍

Hey! I am incredibly similar to this except it's me with the fertility issues not my husband. I do have symptoms and actually was concerned about them and spoke to a GP, which was incredibly reassuring. But we booked an early viability scan for when I will be 7 weeks and I'm hoping that will be the real peace of mind. I'm 5 weeks tomorrow so only 2 weeks to wait! We paid for it but hopefully it'll help a lot. Congratulations!

congratulations!🧸 we’ve booked an early scan too except ours is 8 weeks, I’m wishing we’d booked it a little earlier now though! I hope everything goes well🥰

Avatar

I'm debating an early scan and don't know whether to go 7 or 8 weeks! I know if I can hold out to 8 it will be more worthy seeing but I don't know if I can wait that long!!!!

Avatar

The anxiety is so hard isn’t it. I was ok for the first few days after finding out (I think just with all the distraction over new year) but now I’m back in a sort of routine I’m finding it much harder. I had an early loss in my first pregnancy and also have a 14 month old son. Going to book a scan at the end of the month but it seems such a long wait 😩

Avatar

I’m the same now! I booked it for 8 weeks the day i found out i was pregnant not realising how anxious i’d end up being😩 I can’t change it now unfortunately due to work!

Avatar

The anxiety is absolutely awful, it’s on my mind 24/7 and i’ve taken 9 tests since I found out on Monday🫠 Once I know baby has a heartbeat I think i’ll be okay (i’d like to hope so anyway) Congratulations mama🤍

Avatar

I don’t 😂 I’m a midwife so know all the worst case scenarios 🙈

Avatar

Yeah I think it'll be worth the wait and you'll get more of a look in. Less time to wait until your NHS one too!!
I lost at 6 weeks last time and so I'm getting myself to that point before I do anything. I think I'll go 8 weeks otherwise I'll wanna tell everyone haha

Avatar

so sorry for your loss🤍 you’re right about the less of a wait until the NHS one though! like you say, at least i’ll be able to see a lot more than I would at 7 weeks🥰 congratulations by the way x

Avatar

Congratulations to you too! Hope it goes well xx

I had an early scan at 6+5 once and they couldn’t see much and it was actually more stressful having to wait. I would always recommend waiting till closer to 8 weeks if you can.

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.
