Can I just get some positive validation and encouragement this morning?

Can I get some positive validation this morning but everything is OK :( I’m going into work right now and I just kind of feel down.

I’m 9 weeks 3 days today and I just feel like I am losing symptoms. I was so sick before and now I feel like I can make it through the day without my zofran meds. Plus I woke up today and I lost a pound or two and I’m not showing at all. This is my second baby and watching everyone post their bumps already makes me sad lol. I only just look a little fat so far but otherwise you can’t tell at all. I keep thinking people at work will think that I’m faking my pregnancy or something. Obviously I know not really, but I just get that feeling sometimes because of how my stomach isn’t growing yet lol! I’m just soooo worried that everything is wrong. I don’t have another ultrasound until May for my 20 weeks but I’m thinking that I want to do a ultrasound at a boutique place in two weeks before I announce because I don’t feel comfortable announcing until I get some reassurance.

I keep trying to tell myself that when I went for my 2nd ultrasound a week ago, my babies heartbeat was 184 and there is no way that I could miscarry with that strong of a heartbeat Right?!??

I’m sure everything is just fine, if you don’t feel fine, make an appointment with your doctor :)! But everything should be okay!!

Maybe your symptoms are easing up as you’re getting closer to second trimester?

I thought many people don’t show until 20 weeks?

that’s what i thought but I’m in a due date group and ppl are posting their bumps and I’m like holy shit why is everyone got huge bumps already? Lol mine is nonexistent!!!! I don’t even feel bloated honestly. I feel almost normal. It’s freaking me out how normal I feel when last week i was like dying of morning sickness 😅 then woke up and weighed myself and i lost 1-2 as of recently.

It all depends where baby is laying and some people show really fast as they are slim and it's several babies down the line
Hell in carrying my fourth and I've so far got the smallest bump out of all of my pregnancies and I didn't even start showing until 15 weeks before then I just looked a bit bloated and extra chubby lol

I think my baby is just living in my back as some days I wake up and my bump is smaller and I look chubby again lol 🤣
Weight is all variable though I'm actively losing fat mass but I'm gaining a pound every so often in baby growth which is also entirely different to usual for me

So it's all under the all pregnancies are different thing
Most people at 9 weeks mostly are having bloat though x as most bumps are only visible 16-20 weeks due to well the baby isn't big enough x

My symptoms also disappeared at 9.5 ish weeks. I went to the Dr and everything was fine, they found the baby's heartbeat right away. Some morning sickness started to come back about a week later. I think what you're experiencing is normal. Everyone's sx are different

thank you i just needed to hear someone else experience was the same to validate me this morning 😅😂

im 7 months pregnant and still have a small bump. Lost 15 lbs before gaining anything. Yesterday, I went to buy a new car and were talking about space for the baby, and everyone just said, "oh when are you due, July? August?" when i said "in april" everyone was shocked, and just said i carry it well, and all the women in my life are jealous that im not huge.. Baby boy is normal sized, just grew up into my ribs first instead of out.... also never had any pregnancy symptoms besides sore/tender boobs.

I totally hear you, I was nervous at first but again everything was and is fine 😊 good luck

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)

I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol

What are your symptoms?

Fatigue

I had a GP (it was a woman) tell me she’s never heard of fatigue or exhaustion in the first trimester and that my body shouldn’t be tired from “making a few cells” - she asked if I was depressed and if I wanted to keep the baby/if it was planned and was kinda blaming me on not getting out of bed enough. I’m usually a very busy person, who is always on the go. All my bloods have been coming back okay, but the exhaustion is next level. I said it just feels like I’ve had the flu for the last 6 weeks. She said well is it the flu? That I should be energised and never heard of women being so exhausted before. She was very rude and just feels like it’s my fault I feel this way.
