Seriously worried. Suggestions please

Jamiepahel

I don't consider myself an "over worryer"..but I am concerned. Starting at about 7 weeks, morning sickness hit. Not severe, but I would feel nauseous pretty much all day (mornings being the worst), I didn't have much of an appetite and smells really bothered me and made me sick. Since my BFP my boobs have been SUPER sore ,and I was starting to get bad acne. Well, i'm 8 weeks 4 days now and for the past 5 days or so, Ive noticed a decrease in symptoms and an increase in cramping. Sometimes the cramping feels like sharp pains where my ovaries are. Very weird. Im never sick anymore, my acne is gone, boobs arent sore. I have no spotting but all of this is very concerning. I want some honest opinions, please

There are 10 posts like this, verbatim, every day.  It appears all of those women are still pregnant. 

ETA: Sharp pains are very normal, lots of stretching going on.

IMO symptoms come and go but if you are concerned call your OB. S/N: symptoms are NOT a sign of how pregnant you are OR a healthy pregnancy.

My nausea went away around 7.5 weeks only to come back with a vengeance around 9w. Be glad for the good days bc tomorrow could be another sick day.

Seriously, this topic is posted numerous times a day and everybody gets the same response. Read the other posts and calm the hell down.

My symptoms come and go too.  Usually it's just a day or two at a time when they aren't too bad.  I LOVE those days.  I wish I had more days like that!

I dont think the rudeness is necessary. This IS a message board and I didn't go scrolling through the rest of the posts and responses before posting mine. Multiple posts on the same topic are bound to happen

You should look through others posts, that's the point. This board doesn't revolve around you.

And read a book for petes sake.

Wow, I'm quite shocked at some of your responses!  I hardly ever post on this board, i'm more of a reader. I wanted to post about my own experiences rather than go read someone else's. Didn't think that was a problem on a message board made for discussing all things pregnancy related

Jamie, don't let these women get to you. You have every right to post whatever you want about YOUR pregnancy. If they felt like they've seen posts like this alot then they should have just moved on and not posted anything. I don't know anything about your situation but I do hope everything works out well for you and that you have a happy and healthy 9 months.

It is multiple posts every single day, oftentimes on the same page. And then some posters want even more reassurance and go post the same question on first tri. I don't even read the majority of those posts anymore but it is annoying that the posters wont't even read the other posts about the same topic. It is really annoying and people need to realize that morning sickness is not an indicator how your pregnancy is progressing.

I agree. Previously posted or not, if it annoys anyone they should just go on to the next post, no reason to be rude.

And this is one of the problems. People post and run. If you actually contributed to the board and spent some time here you would know that there are numerous posts about the same topic. Then it wouldn't be necessary to write another morning sickness post because you already know what people are going to say.

You cannot tell someone how to respond. You asked for honest feedback and that's what you got.

Again, this question is asked EVERYDAY. Scroll down and read responses from yesterday.

look to the far right aspect of your computer.  there's a gray-ish device called a scroll bar.  use it. learn from it. explore. 

amarissa85

Yep you like to post and run but then expect people to want to support you. That is what the 1st tri board is for. You can't tell people how to respond on a public forum.

You are right.  That post wasn't necessary.  It's also hard to relate to someone else's fears when they become your own reality.  Symptoms come and go.  It's very normal to feel great one day and terrible the next.  I've had the same suspicious feelings about feeling well so I understand.  If you truly feel concerned about the cramping don't hesitate to call your OB/GYN and discuss it with them.  That is what they're there for. Also, take some deep breaths and take your pregnancy day-by-day.  Your mantra should be "Today I'm pregnant and I love my baby." Worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

I had exactly this!

Enjoy while you're having the good days.

If you are concerned I would check with your doctor.  The nurse at my doctor's office said that when you are pregnant and have a concern, don't be afraid to contact them.  Even if it's just for piece of mind.  Yes, there are lots of posts like this but it doesn't mean you can't be concerned. I hope everything is okay.

This. I pretty much call there over everything. I dont care if im annoying them. They get paid well enough so its worth my piece of mind.

I would call your nurse...I had a missed m/c previously and am super nervous about everything little thing I think I feel or don't feel.  My midwife and the nurses at her practice have been super supportive.  Like someone else said, they make good money for what they do, and that's what they do, so call them!!!!

This. Common courtesy is that when you come to a new board, you lurk a little bit, scroll through a page or two of posts, and see what the board is like and how things work.  Anyone who bothers to do this shows a) that they are willing to not just solicit advice from the board but learn from it and contribute in some positive way and b) that they have half a brain and can see from similar posts that their concern really isn't a concern at all. And guaranteed, you only have to scroll down through one or two pages and you will quickly see that "losing symptoms/have no symptoms" posts are all too common.

Those of us who HAVE been here a while and who HAVE been taking the time to answer questions honestly and with good solid information, get really tired of answering the same questions over and over and over again.  It's not even enough for us just to ignore them, because the odd time when we do, the poster will even repost and pester to try to get an answer.  People need to be educated on how this board works and either be willing to stick around and learn, contribute, and get to know the people in this community - or just leave if the blunt honesty of this group offends.

Bump burp...accidental double post and can't delete!

It is really scary to be in your position. I would maybe give it a few days or a week. If you're still feeling this way, give your doctor a call. It is very common for symptoms to come and go, but in my experience, when my symptoms suddenly disappeared, I had a missed m/c. Around 7 1/2 weeks all of my symptoms were just gone and never returned. I found out at 12 weeks, the baby had passed at the time my symptoms were disappeared. I don't know how common that is, and I don't want to scare you, but just be aware that it can be a big deal. I think the best thing to do is be in tune with your body and call your doctor if you really need to. They get those phone calls all the time. GL
