Ah I'm not worried at all! It's just funny to think something so dramatic is happening inside and there are so few signs and symptoms sometimes

First scan on the 6th of January. I'll almost be 14 weeks at that stage, and I haven't even so much as heard a heartbeat!
Morning (all-day) sickness finally kicked in starting last night, thought I was going to manage to dodge it but I literally confined myself to bed all day today, sleeping between woozy spells! Only threw up twice, but there would have been way more if I wasn't absolutely terrified of vomiting and swallowed back the nausea at the toilet bowl

I'm fine! Still have very few symptoms, the main thing at the moment is not really sickness but more the thought of certain foods is turning my stomach
My scan in Wexford is not until Feb 20th so I have a private scan booked for 2nd Jan in Babyscan.ie so can't wait 0 -

Two scans here already. One following some light spotting at 6+5 (baby measuring 2 days ahead!), and the other last week, where it measured 8 weeks 1 day in the consultants office. Both seemed fine with the little heart beat pumping away and measuring to dates.
Am going back next week for a scan just for reassurance as the consultant could see how nervous I was after a miscarriage in September and the early spotting.
I'm really tired myself at the moment, lost my dinner last night (third time that's happened.....), and have only just gotten over the nausea from last night by drinking ginger tea.
Our stories are very similar!
I had a chemical pregnancy in September. I will now be eight weeks pregnant on Thursday but at six weeks I had a light bleed and I was absolutely petrified - a very traumatic few days. Had a scan at 6 +4 and the little bubba was clear to see on the scan with it's little heart beating, it was so emotional. I'm going to see my midwife on Thursday to arrange my next scan. My boobs are massive and I am very tired but I am quite nervous tbh. The bleeding knocked me for six and while I have intermittent nausea, I haven't really got morning sickness. I read an article last night on the What To Expect site that said women who have morning sickness are way less likely to miscarry so now I have freaked myself out a bit to be honest, am feeling quite worried and anxious since reading it.
This is my first baby so I'd be interested to hear if anyone else felt anxious with their first pregnancies too? I'm just scared the spotting at week 6 signified something wrong. I'm normally a pretty chilled out and laid back person but I can't help but feel uptight. 0 -

I read the same thing and it terrified me!! That's why I stay away from the internet now and deal directly with my midwife if I have a question. Plenty of women don't suffer from Morning Sickness, and it's totally unfair to have us thinking that there is something wrong if we dont! I've only been nauseous twice the whole pregnancy, and I'm 9+3 weeks - once I got sick (and it was the result of a migraine, which happened before I got pregnant as well) and the other was the following morning of that incident, where I had to run to the loo, but managed to swallow it back (I'm terrified of getting sick).
Other than that and sore, swollen boobs, I am completely symptom-free!0 -
ShaSha I could hug you, honestly! Thank you! What a horrible thing to read isn't it? It sent me into a bit of a tailspin as I've had very mild and intermittent nausea but nothing I'd describe as sickness really. Was on to a close friend this morning who is 10wks with her second (the poor thing has hyperemsis so the other end of the spectrum!) and she said that the article infuriated her. My main symptom is my comedy boobs (they've gone up to a DD from a C! :eek::D) and she reassured me that that in itself is enough of a sign that my hormones are working their magic. I was actually feeling fine and enjoying it but an article like that can make you go into overdrive, will definitely save some questions for when I see my midwife on Thursday. You're a star xx 0

You sound like you're on the same track as me.
My midwife asked me if I was having severe pain, I said no. So she said at this stage, for the most part, ectopic is out as the baby is too big to reside in the tubes without causing problems. She asked me if I noticed abnormal hair growth in areas I shave regularly, I told her the hair on my legs and underarms were darker and growing much faster (apparently this has to do with the hormones) so she said this was a good sign of a progressing pregnancy. She assured me that, while 12 weeks is considered the safe point, that once the heart starts beating at approx 7-8 weeks, the chances of any mishaps dramatically drops, as the genetic and chromosomal make-up of the baby has been accepted as viable.
Another strong indicator is when you just wake up with a full bladder. Lying flat, take a snap from the side of your abdomen area. A small protruding bump, caused by your bladder pushing your big uterus about, should be visible until you go to the toilet. Monitoring this with snaps every week helps show increased growth of the uterus, ergo increased growth of the baby
I started snapping at 7 weeks and I could show you the difference with pictures!
I've a really great midwife, she's seriously put me at ease about everything!0 -

Great tips there Shasha, thanks for that. I shall definitely start taking some snaps as they will be lovely to look back over! Is this your first also?
I'm a bit curvier at almost 12 stone, so I wasn't expecting to show until much later. Midwife said lying down disperses the fat and leaves you with a nice flat surface to view a growing bump. The baby is still behind the pubic bone, but it's something to do with a full bladder either pushing the uterus up and out temporarily, or the uterus pushing the bladder out. Either way it indicates growth, and I plan to finish it up with a nice shot of the baby resting on my tummy when it's all over
My first baby and pregnancy, everything is so new! Only problems I am having is SERIOUS cystic acne and weight gain above the norm. Not down with that at all! :P0 -

Try not to worry Shasha, I think every woman is different and everyone has their cross to bear, be it vomiting or acne or comedy boobs! Would you maybe discuss your skin with your doctor? I'm blessed with good skin but got a few spots on my chin a few weeks ago and I used Cetaphil moisturizer (you can get it in the chemist) and it cleared up a treat.0 -

Really need to cop onto myself! My (kinda) sickness is still manifesting itself as finding lots of foods off putting. All that appeals most of the time is heavy carby fatty foods. So thats what I've been eating for a fortnight now. Haven't weighed myself in that time but I know I've piled on weigh quickly. Im not even that hungry or eating huge amounts, it has just been rubbish quality food 0

Ditto.
Ditto ditto.
Ditto.
Cereal, sandwiches (white bread with cheese, ham and mayo), pasta, garlic bread baguettes, crisps and salted crackers.
That's all I'm able to manage, and fried rice with curry from the Chinese or a cheeseburger from the chipper. Made a lovely dinner here the other day with peppered stuffed steak, baby boiled potatoes and brussell sprouts with gravy and every bite made me feel ill. I was silly and forced it because I knew it was better than the alternative.
Still picking bits of sprout from my nose after getting sick :rolleyes:0 -
