pregnant

On May 1st, I got my first positive pregnancy test (ok, maybe closer to 10 because I just couldn't believe what I was seeing) My boyfriend and I were SO excited, but not even a full month later I am now trying to navigate a loss. The thing is, I am not getting ANY straight forward answers from...

I'm currently 8 weeks and I went to the ER yesterday for bleeding and cramping, they did an ultrasound and baby was fine heartbeat was 135 . Today the cramping is constant and my cervix is really low like an inch in maybe but it's still closed so far . Has anyone had something like this and it...

Hello! First I am so thankful for all of the positive comments and messages. It meant a lot to see all of the support from friends I have never met before- Thank you! Everything about my experience was positive, even the uncomfortable things. You are stronger than you think and you can do ALL of...

I had an ectopic last August that was resolved by MTX in September. I’m 9 w 3 days and had an ultrasound a week ish ago at 8w 1 day and was expecting to hear a heartbeat and see the baby. Instead I saw an empty gestational sac and was told I’m measuring around 6 w 5 days and they’d refer to an...

So 2 weeks ago I posted about having a HR on the lower end of normal at my 7 week early scan that I got due to history of missed miscarriage. Anyway, I had a 9 week scan yesterday and everything is perfect! The doc said that she didn't see any structural abnormalities at all and the heart rate...

We found out our babies heart stopped beating this Friday. The previous Friday I had an ultrasound that showed him about a week behind(about 6.5 weeks instead of almost 8), and with a slow heart rate of 96. Everyone assured me his heart had just started beating and that this was a great sign...

I had a miscarriage 2/11 of this year. My hcg for that pregnancy seemed low 300s at week 6. This pregnancy my hCG was in the 40,000s. Progesterone was 23.7. Next labs 4 days later my hCG is in the 75,000s and my progesterone was 20. I should have pushed for continued testing until my appointment...

I know y’all are tired of hearing about this from me but I’m on day 4 of my placebo pills and still no bleed, i’ve been on birth control for 8 months and I always get a withdrawal bleed. last month it was really light and only lasted 2-3 days. i’m stressing out really bad. i wasn’t responsible...

had a miscarriage on april 25 and had unprotected s*x on may 2nd and 12th. bleeding from the miscarriage stopped in 3-4 days so there’s a chance i was ovulating but not sure. i’m just wondering what the probability is

I had a 10W reassurance US yesterday (MMC in January that I found out about at 10W, so my OB has been great about extra check-ins this pregnancy). HB was 189, which seems high. Baby was GROOVING in there, though--the tech said it was bouncing around like crazy, and didn't seem at all concerned...

Since we've been TTC since January 2016, I had a LOT of time to plot a surprise reveal for my husband... however I knew as soon as I found out that I couldn't wait to tell him, so my big plan was foiled! I planned on a "Guardians of the Galaxy" themed surprise at home... "Guardians of the...

Full disclaimer, I completely understand how this line can give people comfort and if that works for you, super! But I’m really tired of reading this line at 31 weeks. Idk, maybe it’s because I’ve been see-sawing between hungry because the smaller portion I’m eating to help with heartburn...

Edit: I miscarried at 8w. This description below was the start of my miscarriage. Confirmed 8w2 everything passed. I’m 7w5 today. I have two SCH. This weekend my bleeding has been worse. Stopping and starting. It’s accompanied by light pulling/stretching cramps, not periods like cramps. But I...

Last period ended Oct 27. I've been tracking my period for about a year and a half and the last time I was this far without one I went 79 days without a period. I did nothing to bring on the onset of it the last time, just sort of panicked and waited. I did notice my breasts were a bit tender if...

I’m 5w today. I’ve had normal betas and my progress lines on hpt’s look fine. Due to recurrent losses, I’m also on 200mg of progesterone daily. I am beyond nervous and anxious about this pregnancy because of my lack of symptoms, and my continuing rise of hcg. I’ve googled “blighted ovum” and...

I am currently working on a dissertation project that is investigating the role of communication and media during pregnancy. As part of this dissertation research, I am looking for participants who are currently pregnant and able to take an online survey. This survey will take approximately...

I (36F) recently entered my 2nd trimester and haven’t been able to sleep more than 3-4 hours at a time. I’m pregnant with my 3rd (and last) child and didn’t experience this with my other two. My typical sleep schedule starts by me waking up around 8am, awake from 8-6pm, nap from 6-10pm then I’m...

I’m only 7w2d with my second and OH. MY. GOODNESS. GRACIOUS. LADIES!!!!!!!!!!! My son will be 10 months old this month. He’s on the verge of walking, he knows mama, baba, dada, an occasional hi and yeeeeeAH here and there. He is full and I mean FULL of energy lmao. I love him so much. We have so...

TW: loss My first pregnancy ended in a MMC November ‘22. It makes it very difficult to have faith in my current pregnancy because I had no symptoms of miscarriage (HCG labs doubling every 48 hrs, etc) until we went for an ultrasound and saw nothing but an empty bubble. They said there was a yolk...

I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow and have been facing some weird emotions this week. Maybe it's the raging hormones idk. We lost our first at 8 weeks with a missed miscarriage. I had no clue anything was wrong which I think made it really hard to accept at first. I'm at peace with the loss, as much as...
