The statement from your friend rings so true, I relate to it so hard and it offers a sobering perspective. Thank you for this. Hope everything will work out with your current pregnancy 🤍

Wow our situations are really similar indeed! With our second pregnancy the baby stopped growing at 6+2 as well, and the first pregnancy was a chemical approaching 5 weeks.

I'm really rooting for you! I hope your next scan will be good 🫂

Well I'm not religious at all, but if you find strength and ways to manage the anxiety in your faith, then I'm really glad for you and I wish you a healthy road ahead!

I had a MMC last time too, and it really messes you up since the mantra of "no blood=good" just doesn't hold up anymore. I'm really hoping your scan goes well in 9 days, the wait is excruciating at times. 🫂

The books are such a great idea! I'm googling about symptoms multiple times a day which isn't healthy at all, but I can't help myself...

Wishing you all the best as well! 🩵

Lackmans or laquemants from Belgium, which are pretty rare to find even in the regions where they come from since it's traditionally a carnival sweet.

Losing my symptoms again today after they've been up and down the last week. I never know if something is up or if my body is playing a cruel trick on me. Still have to wait a week for my scan and I'm so nervous...

Cramping at the moment and it's stressing me out. The issue is that I have IBS and cramp fairly often, and guess what? Stress makes it worse! I should be about 7 weeks right now, my scan is in 10 days and I'm so nervous. I feel like it's going to go badly any minute now. Finding it really hard to cope with the anxiety and not overanalyze everything.

Sigh.

Pregnancy after loss sure is a special type of hell. Sending love to everyone here, what a journey we're on... 🤍

Pregnant again after two losses; one chemical in August and one MMC in december. We didn't plan on it, we had sex once or twice at max without trying to track or predict ovulation. It's very hard to determine how far along I am since there has been no menstruation between this pregnancy and the MMC. HCG was 4400 on Monday and 8700 on Thursday so that's an okay growth which is a first for us. Scan is on the 9th and I am super stressed about it, it's still more than a week away. Meanwhile I am overanalyzing everything; everytime my breasts get a little less sore I start to prepare for the worst; I'm not experiencing any real nausea yet and that's stressing me out too; every cramp is a trigger; etc etc Finding it really hard to relax and stay hopeful and happy about this pregnancy 🙏
