Out for June baby 💔

Any tips for feeling sick?

I’m not being sick but I feel constantly sick, hoping it goes away but only at 6w - I didn’t have this with my previous pregnancy when I miscarried so hoping it’s a good sign 🙈

Early scan tomorrow, anxious!

I’ve got my first early scan tomorrow and I’m so nervous as I had a blighted ovum earlier in the year and only found out when I went for the early scan then. This pregnancy seems very different with intense morning sickness, which I’m hoping is a good sign! Please send all the baby dust for our rainbow 🌈🤞🏼❤️

7 weeks!

We've got a private scan booked for Sunday and I am so anxious!!🫣 We went for one at the beginning of our last pregnancy to be told I was miscarrying so I'm understandably anxious😬 Has anyone got pictures of their scans at 7 weeks? I'm praying I feel a bit better by Sunday as the sickness has been CRAZY🤢🫣

For those who were tested for hcg levels during your miscarriage, do you remember what yours were at the different time frames post miscarriage? I was tested today at 2w post miscarriage and was still at 458. For reference, I miscarried at 8w. Just kindof curious what others were around that time frame/if that seems...
