Tightenings on Monitor

I’ve just been on monitor at assessment unit and they’ve asked if I’m having any tightenings and I said I could feel them but nothing major. Midwife said they are measuring higher than braxton hicks, has anyone else had this and it progressed?

Thanks!

Birthday Party Fail😔

This is a rant...Why are parties such a hard thing to throw now-a-days? We are throwing my 3 year old a birthday party on Saturday and it just seems like no one can make it or those who said they would all of a sudden cancel last second...I feel so defeated throwing birthday parties...I absolutely love throwing birthday parties and seeing my kids faces during it...but knowing every year that more and more people probably won't show up just feels sucky...idk..does anyone else feel like this when throwing parties? It just sucks to not have friends her age and to not have many friends ourselves..

Anxiety around having a missed miscarriage

Hey. I’m currently 7 weeks 3 days pregnant and I have had 2 scans showing a heartbeat and a progressing heartbeat, I had the first one at 6 weeks 1 day heartbeat was 109bpm and then at 7 weeks 1 day was 145-150bpm. Although this has reassured me slightly, I am so anxious constantly that I am going to have a missed miscarriage and will lose the baby and turn up to a scan and babies heartbeat will have stopped. I have been googling and I know that there is no guarantee of what will happen and technically there is no “safe space” in pregnancy but I have read that once there is a heartbeat the statistics do drop and each week they drop more. However I am still constantly so anxious and waiting for something bad to happen. Trying to tell myself that a “gut feeling” something bad will happen may just be anxiety! I think I’m more scared due to hearing all the stories of missed miscarriages which are worrying me. I have had bad cramps since I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks 6 days, but the pregnancy has still been progressing and despite being checked everything has been okay, no signs of concerns. I’m just wondering if anyone can give me some words of encouragement, reassurance or advice! Thank you so much 🤍

Pots syndrome / chronic fatigue

Hi lovely mommas! I live with Pots syndrome with fatigue being one of the main symptoms, I am 5 weeks pregnant and it’s absolutely wiping me out; I work from home and live alone which makes it quite difficult mentally, I was wondering if anyone has any words of encouragement ❤️

Internal vs External Scan

Hi,
Think I will be around 7W5D for my early scan. Anyone had successful images via an external scan at this point?

Was hoping to have external if I can!
