    Food poisoning, will baby be ok?? :((

    Hello everyone! I’ve had a nasty case of food poisoning, and I was wondering if baby will be okay? I am 8w 5d, and I’ve been throwing up a bunch/feeling nauseous. I’m able to keep liquids down now, I’m not running a fever, but my main concern is if it’s possible for bacteria to be passed from me...

    HCG levels 18dpo / 5 weeks 3 days

    Yesterday my hcg levels at 18dpo or 5 weeks 3 days was 663. I’m going to check it’s doubling tomorrow but can’t help but think this is really low. I’ve had two losses before so this pregnancy = anxiety. Has anyone else had level like this at 5 weeks ?

    First US - Dating Question/Reassurance

    Hi everyone! Just had first US today at what I thought was 6w5d (based on LMP of 8/17). Pretty sure my O date was 9/5 based on temp/LH/first positive HCG test (vvvFL 9/14) which would put me at 6w0d. We saw gest sack, yolk sack, fetal pole, and showed “coloration” of cardiac activity but said it...

    Continuous spotting?

    I’m currently 10+1, and have been spotting for about a week now (started 9+2). It’s been mostly brown/stringy/mucous-y, but is getting darker and I’m starting to see bits of red. I’m freaking out. My first appointment isn’t until Thursday (10+5), so I really have no idea what’s going on. I’m...

    Normal fundal height for gestational age, L&D scan had weight under the 3rd percentile

    Hi all, this is the farthest I've made it in 4 pregnancies so please be patient with me. Basically last Thursday (23w6d) I went to L&D for reduced fetal movement, baby was fine thank God, 8 point score on biophysical profile so plenty of movement and good heartbeat. However at my 20 weeks scan...

    Positive test after progesterone was low on my blood test?

    TW: sustainable pregnancy? I woke up expecting my period today. I didn’t get it so I took a strip test and it was positive so I took a digital and it was positive. We have been trying for a while and have had issues, my bloodwork was taken 10DPO and my progesterone was only 8.1, which my doctor...

    3 weeks 1 day

    Hi everyone! I tested positive again 2 days ago on 8dpo (VVFL). Today is 10dpo and my first beta was 40.8! My doc messaged me and said it was very low but wants to see what it looks like in 2 days. From what I’ve seen on Reddit, 40 seems like a good number for 10dpo? But now I’m nervous because...

    GF’s period is a week late, 3 weeks after plan B

    So on 5th of Jan my condom broke without either of us realising, she took plan B very next morning on the 5th. It’s now the 25th, and her period was due 6 days ago. I know plan B can mess with cycles, and it’s not unusual for it to be late, but she’s apparently been feeling bloated for the last...

    First name D middle name J

    I need help coming up with boy names for the initials D.J. Originally he was going to be Dakota Jo but the name has a lot of meaning behind it and I’m not sure I want to use it. I wanted more options so I added Dawson Jude or Jace to the list but my parents aren’t too fond of Dawson (of course)...

    Late period. Is it...the P-word?

    I'll be quick so you can read it faster. Had protected "sex" (only 1 or 2 thrusts, really, then pulled out) about 5 days after gf's prev period started (i didn't remember how long the period lasted, maybe 2 or 3 days?). I wore condom, didn't cum inside (finished the job outside by handjob). I...

    Possible vanishing twin at 6+5 after IVF cycle

    The ultrasound started off as hoped for, with an embryo measuring on schedule and a heartbeat of 122. But then the ultrasound tech found a second yolk sac inside the same gestational sac! Embryo B was much harder to visualize, and no heartbeat was visible. She cautioned us that based on their...

    I hate this place

    I just want to start by saying WTF is up with America and health insurance and family leave. First my hospital bill for a c section and a 4 night stay was 56k. That is literally more than I make in a year. I don’t even have that in student loan debt. If I did not have insurance I would have...

    If you used protection that didn’t fail

    You don’t have to worry about pregnancy. This includes birth control that is taken correctly and you didn’t use condoms along with it. There seems to be some sort of line of thinking with this newer generation that unprotected sex and protected sex are the exact same thing. I’m not sure if it...

    FINALLY

    I have been in the w o r s t pain imaginable because I wasn’t able to poop and the nausea did not help with that. it was like 3-4 days of pain from not pooping. this morning, I FINALLY DID IT. I know it’s TMI but I cannot express how grateful I am that the pain finally left down the toilet 😭
