Pregnant after a Loss

PGAL Brain in full swing :(

I'm having so much anxiety today. I was lucky to find the baby's HB last week at 9 wks 2 days. I was so excited and felt better since I passed the loss point of my first pg. Last night I couldn't find the HB and today I feel weird. I was just going to try again tomorrow since today I had a long day traveling for work and meetings. Sorry if TMI but I'm so constipated and today was the worst especially since I was out of town and in meetings. Now tonight I'm still constipated and have some cramping  I don't know if it's a combination of not finding the HB last night and the cramping tonight. I also feel alot less nauseous today. I'm 10 wks today so I know this is the transition of starting to feel better but I can't help but worry. 
At what point should I be concerned about constipation? Should I call my OB and see if they will check baby to make sure everything is ok (cramping worries me).
Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: PGAL Brain in full swing :(

  • If you are worried, call. It is better to be safe than sorry. About the HB my OB won't even try the doppler until the week 14 because he knows it is hard to find and can cause a lot of anxiety. I feel really bad cramps when I am constipated, and to be honest I worry a lot thanks to my Pgal brain. Also at 12 weeks I lost all the nausea suddenly, almost had a heart attack thinking something was wrong, but everything was ok. I hope it is the same for you. Good luck!

  • Some cramping is normal.  My doctor couldn't even locate our HB at my 14 week appointment with a Doppler... an u/s showed everything was ok. It's too early in your pregnancy to rely on the Doppler.  Hope you feel better soon!!

  • I'd imagine the cramping is coming from the constipation.  I have had some weird trapped gas pains so far, too.  It's disconcerting.  Hang in there!

  • I found the hb supper early as well (10 weeks for me) and then couldn't find it again until 14 weeks. Try and put the doppler down it will just freak you out more. I also had a decent amount of cramping in weeks 10 and 11, totally normal but really hard not to freak out about. If you are super concerned I would talk to your Dr. ((hugs))

  • Thanks ladies. I know I should put the doppler down. I guess I just thought since I already found it early that It would be easier to find again. I think I am calling my doc this am for peace of mind.

  • Make sure to keep hydrated....I noticed I have some cramping when I don't drink enough water.  It will also help with constipation.  No advice on the doppler as I don't have one, but I would consider putting it away for a few more weeks until it's more productive to use and creates less anxiety for you.   PGAL Brain is the worst :(
