Nervous & need some advice

In December 2014 I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and I am absolutely terrified to go through that again. My symptoms hit me at 4 to 5 weeks. ( extreme nausea, painful breasts, exhausted)

I am 5 weeks now and I feel barely anything (sore nipples, breast are a tiny bit bigger, and slight cramping) no nausea, breast are not sore, and I don't feel pregnant (sounds weird) and I'm nervous something isn't right. My doctor won't see me till I am in my 9th week and that feels so far away.

This may be normal to not feel alot in the beginning and every pregnancy is different but I am nervous.
Did anyone else have this and have a healthy pregnancy??

Thanks in advance

    I would express to your OB that you're concerned (for obvious reasons) and see if they'll do blood work to check your hormones levels. My practice does this automatically as I am too PGAL and they want to monitor things. Good luck!

    I have had no real pregnancy symptoms, and I'm about 6 weeks. I had very little in the way of pregnancy symptoms throughout the first tri with my last pregnancy.

    It doesn't mean anything. It sounds like you're describing a change in symptoms, not a total lack of symptoms. Pregnancy symptoms seem to come and go willy nilly, I would not read too deeply into it.

    But if in your gut you feel something is wrong, ask to be seen.

  • Doesn't mean anything... I'm only 5 weeks and no symptoms. And, with my healthy 16 month old I had no symptoms early on.
  • I had zero symptoms, no nausea, no cramping, no bigger boobs, nothing for the first 5 or 6 months with my first and with this pregnancy I have all the symptoms times 3!!  It may just be too early for your symptoms to start or you may just have a easy first trimester :) Hoping for the latter!

    Also, I believe if you have experienced a loss before you can request bloodwork to be done to check your HCG and progesterone levels.  That should give you some peace of mind until the symptoms kick in.  T&Ps :)

  • Thank you everyone. Just talking about it makes me feel a little better. After having a mc I may be just super sensitive to every little thing that happens.
  • Awe girl, here with you. I'm about halfway through my 5th week, and my only symptoms are really sore boobs and I've been a little more tired than typical for me on some days. I had a miscarriage in November '15, so I get the fears... sounds like symptoms are just crazy unpredictable. I'm hoping and praying for the very best for you, me, and every single mom to be. Especially those PGAL women who might be stressing a little more. ♡
  • Symptoms hit at different times for every pregnancy, so that's nothing to worry about. I'm eight weeks and although this is my first pregnancy, I have the nerves also. The best thing you can do is to take good care of yourself and your baby. 

    I really hope it works out for you! 
  • I have miscarried twice in the past and I was horribly sick both times. This time however I'm feeling pretty good. I think if you are nervous get in to the doctors. They WILL see you if you express a lot of concern! I personally am thanking my lucky stars that I'm not puking my brains out this time around and staying happy and stress free! The more you stress the worse it will be for you and baby. Do what's best for you and baby!
  • I'm 7 weeks and just starting to get symptoms in the last day or two. At 6 weeks I had some spotting that turned red, so I started to freak out. When to my OB and got to see the heartbest was a strong 139. They ensured me everything was looking good. They said being concerned is just apart of being a good mommy. If you feel like something is wrong give your OB a call. They are here to help!
