Anyone else in the 10 week window?

faith12112015 · May 2015

I am 10 weeks 3 days - 33y.o. This is my first pregnancy that has surpassed 5 weeks (several early m/c early on followed by seeing a reproductive endocrinologist). I was just saying to my husband that I am starting to get the surreal kind of thoughts...am I really still pregnant? Is baby growing okay? Has anything changed? We had our first US at 7 weeks 5 days, all looked good, strong heartbeat. And I had mild nausea between weeks 5-8 and serious constipation/bloating. But in the last week a lot of my sx have lessened - right now it's just tender breasts and occasional gagging at terrible smells. I think it's the combination of seeing the US almost 3 weeks ago, having less sx now than before, and not yet seeing a bump or feeling the baby move. I'm not super paranoid, just more reflecting on this stage of the pregnancy...I suppose much will change once we announce to family, see a bump, and perhaps hearing the heartbeat again. There are literally hours that go by and I forget there is a baby in there! Due 12/11 and could not be more thankful. Has anyone else experienced this or is experiencing this? Anyone else have a change in sx around this time? So glad to have others to chat with.

Maybe you could invest in an at home doppler that will let you hear the heartbeat. That could ease some of your worries. They run anywhere from $40-$100 ish online.

On another note, I'm just 2 days behind you. Some days I feel way prego, other days I dont. I've also had a mc in the past so I worry, but you've made it this far. Stay positive!

I am praying my symptoms calm soon. MS is fierce! I am 10 weeks tomorrow. My last appt was 30 April and the next is next week Thursday. I understand what you mean about being in limbo. It's not fun when I think in those terms. When I find my mind wandering to that place, I remind Me to be aware of being pregnant right now today. That's all anybody has anyway, right? So, right now today, congratulations, @faith12112015!!

I'm 10 weeks the day after tomorrow. My nausea hit at 7 weeks left at 8 weeks and is now back with a vengeance.

my stomach was SO bloated earlier on and now its pretty much flat again. This is also my first pregnancy and I have no idea what to expect. My first US isn't until June 3rd when I'm 12 weeks and my first appt is tomorrow. I'm praying for you for a peace of mind! I hope everything goes well and you have a healthy safe pregnancy.

Maybe telling family and friends sooner rather than later isn't such a bad idea. good luck!

I'm due 12/9 and am feeling so much better these days, too. Nausea is gone, and I'm not as crazy tired. I was incredibly hungry for a few weeks too. My bloat is down, too. I remember this from last time. In a few weeks, a bump will appear and you'll start to feel and look pregnant. This is kind of a honeymoon period. Enjoy and remember the "easy" days when you're in the third trimester.

theawc42 · May 2015

I am around 10 weeks (first pregnancy past 7 weeks) and have days where I feel nothing and days where I get a little nauseous. I am also getting to the point where I think " ow my, I cant believe this is real! " but I feel like I stop myself from getting super excited or getting to attached to the baby yet because of my history. I keep saying to myself I wont start to buy diapers or really look at any baby stuff until the second trimester. I see other women due in December already talking about car seats and gifts and I just cant picture that right now. Then I also feel bad for not being super gunghoe! about the pregnancy ....im just cautious I guess.

Jina32 · May 2015

I'm 33 as well @faith12112015, first time pregnancy, it was a surprise, 10 weeks 6 days... Edd 12/8... Your not alone same thoughts and feelings over here... Thought I was 13 weeks at first ultrasound, and found out I was only 9 weeks which has made things feel like they have slowed way down due to not getting out of the first trimester like I thought I was gah!

( but I just try to stay focused on how thankful I am to be blessed with this pregnancy! Next ultrasound next Thursday @ 12 weeks... Can't wait to see and hear my little coco puff again!

nellybellycat · May 2015

10 weeks weds. 2nd pregnancy, 1st was a mmc at 7 weeks (discovered at 9). My appt isnt until 12 weeks this time. Last pregnancy-no symptoms, this time, hella sick! Starting to get managable though. I feel good that I made it this far (i think) but I don't think the worry ever goes away completely

Mands1010 · May 2015

I am 30 years old, 10 weeks 4 days. This is my fourth pregnancy, and so far the farthest along I have been. The other farthest one was around 7 or 8 weeks. That time I saw a heartbeat at 6 week u/s and the next ultra sound two weeks later there was nothing, so I am constantly on pins and needles and questioning everything. Google is my best friend and worst enemy. My first mc was early, like 5 or 6 weeks, and happened when I began spotting. The second, however, was a missed mc, which before that I didnt even know happened. I thought as long as I didn't see blood I was safe, but now that doesn't even help ease my mind. I just try to take everything day by day and pray and be positive but it's tough sometimes. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow and I hope I get another u/s and can get some reassurance. Those ultrasounds are the only thing that really keep me sane. I think I am going to hold off on telling people until 20 weeks, so on top of feeling anxious, I feel a little lonely. Just grateful for this site and grateful everyday that I am pregnant, and staying positive and trusting in God. I think He and I are in agreement that I can't handle another loss at this point.

Lihnlee · May 2015

I'm 10 weeks today. The past week or so I haven't had my symptoms. My tiredness is even going away which is a plus! I also don't feel like it's real. I'm guessing once the belly comes it might. I hope it does.

vppittman · May 2015

I am 10w3d and have had a previous mc at 6 weeks. I have had an us at 6 and 8 wks and another this Wednesday. But still can't shake that awful feeling that I shouldn't get too excited. I have a little bump/bloat and had to buy maternity clothes, but I am afraid to take the tags off and actually wear them bc of my previous experience. I think we just need to keep reminding ourselves that what is meant to be will be, even though it's much easier said than done. I'm glad to read this and know I'm not alone! Nice to meet you ladies!

sassysister18 · May 2015

Yep, I'm due 10th dec and saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks. I have our nuchal on 3rd June and I must admit I'm nervous and hoping the baby is doing well, after two mcs in the past 8 months in scared!! Only thing that keeps me going is I can feel a hard bump down low.

NJPita22 · May 2015

I am due the same day dec 11 and my symptoms have lessened if I had any? I was super tired I couldn't even function but I stayed up past 11 last night!!! I remember with my first my ms went away around this time so I haven't been worried. My 12 week u/s is scheduled for 5.29 and I cannot wait to just see that baby is still there. It still doesn't seem real. I did my finger prick today so that helps! Soon enough we'll be giant and complaining that we can't get off the couch!

CGBurk · May 2015

10 weeks today. My first ultrasound is in two days and truthfully, I am really scared. In October I was about 12 weeks when I found out that I'd had a mmc somewhere around 7-8 weeks. Up until the 8th week of this pregnancy I was often really nauseous, but now I feel pretty fine. Still quite tired and breast soreness on and off, Other than that I feel like like my symptoms haven't been very present the last couple weeks. Scared, but thinking positively and hoping for the best. Only two more days to wait. Ultrasound is Wednesday the 20th at noon. Wish everyone a happy, healthy pregnancy

floo · May 2015

Im 10 weeks today and I feel as if there is no baby in there either.. felt like I was prego around 6 to 8 weeks but only because I was always throwing up.. now im on nausea pills so I believe thats why I dont feel like im prego as much .. but dont worry this is my first pregnancy and I was told by friends to enjoy this cause around 18 weeks you will always feel prego.. so your fine hope everything goes well.

Pearlsandcurls481 · May 2015

I'm also at 10 weeks and some days are Better than others. I get really irritated at small things now and the nausea has kicked in full gear. But, for a while I was worried as well, but I found a free app on my phone that lets you hear the heartbeat! It's called Flutter. It's a little touchy, but we got a really great recording to keep. I listen to it all the time. It really is fun, and if you're feeling doubtful, it can definite bring you some peace of mind.

faith12112015 · May 2015

Thanks for everyone's replies! It is very comforting to know I am not alone and that many of us are having similar thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I am always amazed at how many other women have experienced one or more losses...all the research points to it being very common, but b/c it is so taboo and no one talks about it, I really felt devastated and alone when it was happening to me. All the more reason why it's so important to have a community,albeit a virtual one, to share the ups and downs. Thx ladies - wishing everyone a happy and healthy pregnancy.

yahairatoruno · May 2015

Hello, this is my first pregnancy. I am 10 weeks 5 days, due date is 12/09/15. I had my first US today & I was very nervous. Since I am 37 I had to hear all about posible problems etc, agree to more tests & this makes me nervous. I am trying to stay positive because I am scared of getting too excited. I hope to make it past 13 weeks so I can relax a bit more. I think staying positive helps but its hard at times. Its nice to have this group to vent.

faith12112015 · May 2015

@yahairatoruno - Congrats on your pregnancy! It seems impossible to be completely worry free. I have many friends and family who have had children at 37 through 42. All were successful! My OB said to me at my first appt that even though over 35 is often referred to as "high risk" it is really just more risky than at 34, 30 is more risky than 29, etc. Glad your US went well and good luck!

GalLaura · May 2015

I'm 10 weeks and this is my second pregnancy. My son will be 2 next month. I think it's normal to not feel full of symptoms. I understand why you feel the way you do, having had a prior loss. I'm eager to get to my NT scan at 12 weeks to see how everything is progressing! Good luck.

ZucchettoBaby · May 2015

Hello Ladies,
I'm 10 weeks 2 days... Due date of 14 December. This is my first bub, so it's all new and exciting. It's hard to remember sometimes that I'm pregnant it does feel so surreal at this stage.. But I'm sure that will change really quickly and I can't wait.

BroBro12 · May 2015

Hi Ladies. Glad we got this post going because it sounds like we are all within a few days of each other. My due date is dec 10.
I had 2 mc last year. That was tough. Have been a little paranoid, but I believe this time around is very different. I was extremely tired and nauseas for a few weeks, but I am good now. I find comfort that everything is ok because of how sore my boobs are. I may be a little worried if that sx went away.
I believe we are all going to have happy healthy pregnancies

HBarrie · May 2015

My due date is 12th of December, making me 10 + 4 today, and I do not really have any symptoms except slight nausea if I let myself get too hungry. I have not had any symptoms so far apart from bloat and tender (and bigger!) boobs.

I am not a patient person and now I just feel "meh" because I'm over the initial excitement of being pregnant, but nothing is really happening right now so now it's just a waiting game - my least favourite kind of game!

I live in the UK and here we don't book our u/s ourselves, we just have to wait patiently for a letter from the hospital. My next scan should be in two weeks but I have yet to hear from the hospital and it's driving me nuts.

Also I can't tell work because my job is temporary and it would be a huge financial benefit for me to be made permanent, which is sort of in the pipeline but just not happening yet and I am running out of time before I'll start to show.

So all in all I am not liking week 10 very much because it feels like I'm in limbo in so many ways. I just want answers (good or bad) so I know what the future will bring...

Tdion83 · May 2015

I'm in the same boat as you due Dec 11the 33 1st pregnancy and have all the same symptoms and I have not had an US in a month but today we are going for one I am so excited and nervous I wish they weren't so spread apart but I try to stay positive and don't let the scary thoughts in keep positive that is the best thing you can do for yourself and your baby

susiaustin · May 2015

Welcome to the placenta being fully formed. Baby is taking over a lot of hormone production so you should start feeling better between 10-14 weeks. I had a lovely 10th week, week 12 has been horrible so far, but I think that's due to stress and being over tired. I need to rest up more. That and the lovely fainting spell I had Monday coupled with doctors concern over me losing weight, time for me to up my calories because baby is taking more from me now. I never was a big eater, go figure out how I'm considered obese than??? Genetics stink. But trying to get my calorie intake to 2,000 calories when I'm usually only 1,200 for myself is going to be rough

ShelbySun22 · May 2015

I am in the same boat for sure. I'm 10weeks due Dec 12. I have an US today at 3pm and im so excited and nervous!

LMJL · May 2015

I am also due around then Dec 12th & I had a mc with my first pregnancy at 6weeks back in January. I am 37, so I am currently overwhelmed by the amount of information & testing that I am supposed to be getting done. I meet with the genetic counselor tomorrow & get the Harmony test done which should hopefully ease up my fears. I am slowly getting over the fear of losing the baby, but am trying not to let myself get too attached, and am waiting to see the results of the tests. So, I'm still pretty scared. I am starting to feel a bit better though & from what I've read, that's normal about now, so don't worry about your symptoms going away. You might check out the doppler device like someone else suggested, that way you can reassure yourself. But, I'd ask at the Dr's office about it, b/c from what I've heard depending on your size & the babies position it can sometimes be hard/not possible to hear the heartbeat. The aren't cheap, so before you shell out the $, you might want to ask, also, if you have difficulty/can't hear your baby, it might cause you unnecessary stress rather than calming you. I wish us all happy, healthy December babies!

merbear32 · May 2015

I'm 32 and due to health issues am "high risk" . I'll be 10 weeks (after due date being redone original was 12/10 now 12/17). I saw a heartbeat on 7 weeks 1 day US. I started feeling better and it feels less "real".
