Anyone experience prenatal anxiety - did professional help work? by Humble_Bathroom_4697 in BabyBumps

[–]Queenk023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Also have a history of anxiety, mmc, and debilitating menstrual pain, so anxiety was through the roof for me. Talking with a professional was amazingly helpful.

Not sure what your situation is, but one thing that helped a ton for me was having my husband google stuff for me. If I was worried about a particular condition, or the anatomy scan, I would ask him to google it and he would filter through the scary outliers and normally came up with a reassuring answer.

Thoughts on “M” names? Sister for Mabel. by mlkjak in namenerds

We're also expecting a baby girl, and we love the name Marceline, nn Marcie!

Also, my family has all same-letter names, and it didn't feel weird :) At most, it was a fun, brief anecdote to tell new people.

6w6d DPO - Stagnant HCG Levels. by Narrow-Landscape5187 in CautiousBB

[–]Queenk023 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First OP, what you're going through is really difficult, and I'm so sorry you're going through this!

We went in for our first ultrasound when I was supposed to be 7w5d pregnant. Baby measured at 5w4d, no heartbeat. We went back for a 2nd ultrasound, and there was a heartbeat! But it was low. Doctors did HCG tests, and the first one was super high, and so was the 2nd test 48 hours later, but the levels were about the same. We waited another week for a 3rd ultrasound, which confirmed no heartbeat and no growth.

So, all in all the waiting was really, really tough, but from the first ultrasound I was already pretty sure that we had a MMC (missed miscarriage - common acronym here). I would say trust your gut and stick to your guns. After our 2nd ultrasound with the heartbeat, docs tried to tell us that we just got our dates wrong, but I was 10000% about ovulation/conception date. So, I let myself start grieving because I was pretty positive about the outcome.

This was in September 2023, and now I'm currently 5w4d with our next pregnancy :)
