7w3d and worried about symptoms

[Hellsbellsxxx]

This is my 2nd pregnancy, I lost a baby at 10 weeks last year due to a missed miscarriage and i knew something was wrong as my chest pain almost vanished overnight. I am now 7w3d according to my dates and a scan i had yesturday where i saw the embryo and heard the heartbeat(it was a very detailed scanner). iI have been paranoid about my breast pain, and whether its there or not or whether is is as sore, and today is no different. It definately does not seem sore and my nipples not as dark. The scan was 24 hours ago, and is giving me no reasurance now, alot can happen in 24 hours! Ive got to wait untill the 18march for another scan, i can hardly get through 1 day let alone 4 weeks. Does anybody else find their symptoms come and go and vary in severity? Any reasuance would be very helpful, thank you.

I have been away for the weekend, and just checked this slot. Its so good to hear others in the same boat, we cant all be abnormal can we?  I experienced neausea, fatigue and sore breasts occasionlly over the weekend, but it doesnt stop me worrying. I guess when you want it so bad and you already lost it, you wont really relax untill its in your arms safe and healthy.Then another set of worries start!!!! Good luck to all and thank you XXXX

I am 6 weeks pregnant. I took HPT last week and got five positive results. I have a Dr Appt for this coming Tuesday but Wednesday I started spotting. I just lost a baby at 10w back the day before Thanksgiving '08. The Dr was not in so her nurses sent me to the Er. I am on bedrest now till I get to see the Dr on Tuesday. I have been pregnant three times before. Two miscarriages and one preemie and all of them I had sore breasts. So far this time I am just nauseas and no sore breasts at all and was worried about that. The Dr said that some symptoms come and go and some dont always come with every pregnancy. So got to take it easy and not to stress. I know its hard especially for all of us that have had complications and miscarriages in the past. My prayers are with you all. Pray my numbers have gone up when I go in Tuesday. Not sure I can emotionally take losing another child.

I would like to share what happened to me yesterday. I woke in the morning and noticed that I had no more breast pain and that their size was back to before-pregnancy (in 1 weeks they were almos 2 size bigger!). I panicked because like most of you I'm paranoid about any symptoms I have. This is because last April during my early pregnancy one day I had no more symptoms and the day after the doctor announced me that my HCG was not increasing as it should (doubling in one week only!). At 7 weeks I had an u/s and we saw the sac but no embryo. So this time I always think about the bad experience I lived and any change in my body scares me.

Coming back to what happened yesterday, immediately after noticing the change in my breast I went for a blood test. Yesterday afternoon the nurse called me and my HCG more than doubled in two days: 6500 on Tuesday and 14000 yesterday! He told me everything was fine and I should stop worry about the symptoms because they often come and go => breast pain is related to the oestrogens levels that are usually fluctuating in early pregnancy.

This to say girls, let's all try to enjoy our pregnancies and wait for the u/s (mine is on March 3rd, 10 days to go!).

I wish us all plenty of healthy babies!!!!

I've had a few off days and my DH bought a HPT just to reassure me but I know those things can say + for weeks after a m/c. I'm still really nervous that i've already had something bad happen. I haven't had spotting or bleeding but I have had a HUGE decrease in symptoms. I have my first u/s next tuesday so I hope we see something promising. I wish I had more encouraging words for you but I'm kinda in the same boat.

Heck yeah!  I am always checking to make sure mine still hurt.  When I don't feel nausea I freak out and think something is wrong.  I am right there with you.  I lost my baby in December and it was the day after my u/s.  My next one is not until March 2.  WE just have to pray all the time.

I hear ya! I feel the exact same way. I experienced 2 miscarriages (one at 5w and one at 10w) I get really sore nipples when I'm pregnant and today they are not so sore...yesterday my nausea was practically gone, but today it's been off and on. I don't have a scan until March 25th..and it will be my first...so I am SUPER anxious to make it to that date. From what I've heard symptoms come and go, as long as they don't disappear completely...everything should be fine.

You're not alone.  The patience is gruelling.  I go insane checking the internet for every cramp I'm feeling.

Lots of sticky baby dust to us all!

Avik let us know how it goes!  My first u/s is next Wednesday (when I turn 8 weeks).

Thank you for your reply, it does help to know that im not the only one who is fretting. Thanks also for saying that sore boobs come and go.Good luck with you u/s.

i know how ya feel ive had two miscarriages so every little thing scares me too! but yes i have to say my boobs hurt off and on and sometimes just less painful. its normal for that to happen! I know its hard to wait but try not to stress urself out (easier said than done, i know) but its not healthy for the baby! Im 7 weeks and i go for an u/s today! wish me luck!
