is this normal ?

I had a miscarriage a month ago at 10 weeks and i’m expecting again, which wasn’t expected, but my last pregnancy i didn’t have too many symptoms, but now i’m having nausea and just some pains in my back. and idk if it’s normal to have mild cramps in my lower stomach, i’m not sure exactly how many weeks i am until my appointment but i believe im about 5 weeks

Sorry to hear about your mc.
Why do you think you're expecting again? Have you done a test?

Hcg can take up to 3 weeks to completely come out of your system after a mc.
Sorry, but im not sure you'd be 5 weeks pregnant after a mc you had last week.

Oh, sorry i misread your original post.
Mild cramps can be normal, as can nausea and back pain in the first trimester. Best to get some medical advice if you're worried. Which is understandable that you would be.

Also, feeling sick is a good sign.
I've been nauseous for around 5 weeks everyday now and its horrible but its comforting too

First scan is normally between 10-14wks. Or you can opt for a private scan for reassurance.

If your bmi is over 30 then they advise that you need to have a dose of 5mg of folic acid a day.

Prenatals are good as they have a mixture of all the stuff needed

I had similar to you. I had surgery for my miscarriage in Feb and then was pregnant end of March - I had some mild cramps in that pregnancy. I’ve also had it this pregnancy too early on. If you’re worried you could book for a private reassurance scan x

Pregnant after 2 missed periods!!!

For context: My last cycle was Feb. 12th. I had a blood test on March 25th it was negative. On Mother’s Day I went to the ER for chest pain. The doctor comes in and says “ congratulations you’re pregnant!”. I didn’t believe her so she did an ultrasound. This is my 3rd and has never happened to me. I struggle with fertility, as I have PCOS now called PEMS.

Has this happened to anyone else? No cycle and ended up pregnant?

Who should be next?

I booked a nail appointment for 10am. Walked in at 9.50am behind another lady who didn't have an appointment. The 5 technicians were already busy. When one was finished, the lady without the appointment was sat before me. Surely if you have an appointment you should be next?
I ended up waiting until 10.25 before I was sat in a chair.
I know it's not first world problems, but who should be sat first? 😂

Body scans at airports while pregnant

I’m travelling tomorrow and I know I’ll have to go through a body scanner. But I don’t feel comfortable doing that specially in my very early pregnancy. When I was 8 months pregnant with my first I asked to opt out but they kinda refused and said it’s safe and that I will get more radiation from the plane.
What are your thoughts? Did you go through them or asked to opt out?
