6 weeks today :)

jjh471jjh471 member
in 1st Trimester
6 weeks down, 6 more to go until I feel like I can breathe a little (and stop running to the bathroom every time I feel a cramp to check for bleeding, because that's just super annoying).

I think the initial shock of things has started to die down and now we are both just praying that everything goes right. We had an ultrasound last week, it was early, but I pushed for it, I needed to make sure everything was okay. After almost a year of trying and beginning the process of infertility treatments, I was floored when we conceived naturally. Ultrasound was fine, no heartbeat yet (I was only 5w5d) as it was too early. So now we will go back on Oct. 3 I will be 7w6d then I believe. I've have to learn to stay off of google. Every post I read about a miscarriage scares me (to those of you who have gone through it, I am so so so sorry that it happened to you. I would not wish that on my worst enemy...) and makes me start with the crazy "what ifs..." I know that the chances are low but it's still horrible to think about...

So the purpose of this post?? To be POSITIVE because I feel like there is so much negative and scary stuff out there. So a very happy 9 months to everyone! I am sending you all my positive baby dust vibes in hopes that every single one of you preggo eggos stays in place and grows into a happy and healthy bundle of joy. <3

    That won't stop. Your reasoning may change a bit, but chances are you will still be doing that at whether you are 5, 15, 30, or 42 weeks.


    I'm sure that, that will be the case.. but not worrying that my baby is going to "go away" will be huge. :)

    You do realize that doesn't go away until birth, right?

    The purpose of this post was to be positive and not be over thinking every little thing that could go wrong...

    All I have is reality... some days you just need a little optimism, my apologies for trying to look on the bright side of things for a change... I think we all need to do that sometimes.

    I feel the same way you do. I'm 5 weeks. Every time I pee, I get scared that there might be blood. Consider yourself lucky though... I don't have my first appointment until 10 weeks! No ultrasound until 20 weeks

    I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and have my first u/s tomorrow. I had slight bleeding and was on bed rest all last week! I am with you in the fact that I am staying positive. Don't let anyone or anything get to you:) with my daughter, I had no discharge/bleeding, but now every time I go to the bathroom I'm holding my breath, not knowing what I will see. It will get better for us! I have faith:-) keep me posted<3

    I hate to say it but this might be why I don't like to really post. You have a simple question or just want to share what you feel should uplift other people and some people think they need to make comments that you don't need. Don't listen to those people. Congrats and good luck. I am pregnant for the second time and I am still holding my breath every day but we are ecstatic and happy and looking forward to the next 8 + months. Good luck on your pregnancy journey!

    We're all here for the same reason - support. People just offer it differently. Stay positive!

    Obviously certain people have hard lives on this forum and it definitely is not me. I wonder how many people Ghost Monkey has driven off of this website with an attitude that nobody wants to here. Just because your life is miserable doesn't mean you need to be like that with everbody else. I won't let it bother me. Oh by the way Ghost Monkey GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

    I totally understand how you feel. I'm just about to hit 5weeks and I am so nervous all of the time! Stay positive! Here's to the weeks going by safely and quickly :)

    It's hard not to be scared especially in this risky 1st trimester.  Miscarriage is not uncommon at all and it's important that we know that, but you can't worry about things you can't control.  Easier said than done of course.  Unless you have a reason to worry, try to enjoy it!  H&H 9 months!

    Sad that this post turned into a shitstorm.  To the OP, the first 12 weeks is so hard.  Especially when you spent so long trying to get to this moment and feel like it can g o away at any moment.

    Hugs to you...and a happy and healthy 9 months!

    Thank you to everyone who has left positive posts. There is so much that we cannot control in our pregnancies and I have really tried to take the stance of being positive and just trying to love every minute of it. Especially since we both thought this day would come after a lot of testing and infertility drugs. :) Had blood work again today to check my levels, that's always a reassure thing to hear over the phone that your levels are right where they should be. Happy and healthy 9 months again ladies. Positive and happy thoughts
    ;)
