I go to the doc on friday the 27th, i last went on february 12 and was about 7 weeks one day and saw the flickering heartbeat. since i found out i was pregnant i've had sore boobs for like a week and nothing else, maybe some headaches here and there and some bloating..but i mean no sickness no cravings, i dont even know if my breasts feels big to me anymore! and then on top of it i've had cramps on and off, some were mild, some felt like shooting pain...i know i have to go on friday for the next u/s but i just feel struck with worry..i mean i havent had any bleeding but i'm just nervous yeah sometimes i totally wish i was throwing up every day! but i'm just so scared and worried..everyone says everything is fine but idk! i'm not really sure whats going on down there anymore either, before i was having white discharge, and now its dry and irritable, i mean everyone says as long as your not bleeding, but i wish i felt more pregnant it worrys me so much, as a first time mom! anyone else ? anything similiar??

Hey there! Try not to worry....thats exactly what happened to me last year when i was pregnant with my son. I had no morning sickness and felt pretty normal except for twinges, pulls, and at times some shooting fizzing pains that caught my breath for a second. I had 2 miscarriages before that so i was really worried, but if theres no blood, and youve seen the hb, your odds are more than good :) The pains are just your ligaments stretching in your uterus. Im now 10wks preg with baby no.2 and feeling it yet again :) Best of luck to you!

Hey relax hon, I was just as crazy and paranoid as you were with my first pregnancy and with cramping, pains, spotting etc...everything turned out just fine...if you know there's a heartbeat, then really unless you bleed perfusely, you're fine, and I know this sounds harsh , but i always said to myself that if things were not going to be fine, it was out of my control anyway. So enjoy your lack of morning sickness and know that soon you'll be feeling your little one kick and before you know it they'll make their grand appearance! Focus on positive, happy thoughts : )

thanks guys, just worried you know..my boyfriend is so happy and excited i just want everything to be okay, we've been so happy since i found out i was pregnant (it wasn't planned) that i just get nervous and i know it sounds crazy but i wouldn't mind some of the discomforts of pregnancy right now just to keep being reassured! thanks though really appreciate it, post on friday when i go for the u/s! xo

I feel the same way! I'm also 8 wks today and have an u/s appt later today. Everything was feeling "great" (sore & swollen boobs, raw stomach, fatigue, etc.). Then I woke up this morning and my boobs felt smaller and I just didn't feel pg anymore. I'm pretty sure that's not good. I've been on the infertility boards for a long time while we were ttc. I've had a tubal and m/c triplets so I realize I am probably paranoid, but I'm trying to be objective. It's just that I've never gotten this far before and we really thought this one would stick. Oh, I just hope it still has a heartbeat. We saw heartbeats with the other babies, too so that gives me little encouragement and it's so frustrating when people/drs act like you're out of the woods when you see a heartbeat. I know they mean well, but it just makes it harder when you lose them, you know? Anyway, best of luck at the u/s JMP! I pray mine goes well, too!

RLR~I'm so sorry for your loss and I understand your anxiety 100%. I also have triplet Angels. How far along were you when you lost them. We made it to 23 weeks and delivered them 3-31-08. Not looking forward to their birthday, but was blessed to find out we are pregnant again on Valentine's Day. I am only 5w3d. We saw the sac on Monday and next Tuesday we should see the heart beat. I was terrified of multiples again, since it was such a high risk pregnancy. Bed rest, shots, monitors, cerclage, etc. I also don't have any morning sickness yet, but my breasts are killing me, I'm super tired, and my allergies have gotten really bad. Congrats JMP!!!!! Anyhow ladies. You are all in my prayers.
