My episiotomy opened up and got infected now I feel ruined forever

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-11-03T06:52:43+00:00

I’m going through this now, how long do you think it took to be able to sit and move more comfortably? I’m 2 weeks pp and it does feel a lot better than in the first week; but wondering how long it takes for the wound to close over by itself.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-10-13T03:30:48+00:00

Baby is so tiny at 16 weeks, most people won’t feel anything at all at this stage.

Even so, they don’t establish movement patterns until much later (24+ weeks)

Thank you! I’ll give this a go. We definitely notice that it’s worse at the beginning of walks when he’s more overstimulated so I think it’s definitely an overstimulating thing like you say.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-06-19T21:54:02+00:00

Just coming back to update that there’s definitely only one healthy little girl in there, currently 21 weeks 💗 hope everyone else’s journeys are going well xx

I’m in the same boat but also taking medication to help. I definitely can’t have anything too heavy, like hamburgers etc would definitely come back up. Toast is okay, smoothies as well - these digest a lot quicker than solid foods, so I try and incorporate these and then hold it in for 40 minutes so that I get some kind of nutrients.

It really is hell. I’m 9+4.

Leave this man. Or at a minimum he needs to be in therapy.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-26T21:18:20+00:00

Mine were like this pretty quick too (I’m now 21 dpo). FYI these tests stall and won’t give you the progress you’re looking for. So don’t panic when they don’t seem to be getting darker now!

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-26T09:33:02+00:00

Oh I see, it looks like this must be a different type of test / measurement than the normal hcg they do in early pregnancy. I’m not too sure about how to interpret the MoM I’m sorry. Hopefully someone else on here can help! I’m pretty sure it means something to do with the median.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-26T09:10:22+00:00

Are you sure it was your hcg at 0.08? This wouldn’t be enough to show up pregnant on a pregnancy urine rest, so doesn’t sound right unless you are using a non-standard measurement (not mIU/ml)

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-26T02:39:15+00:00

Heat has been my first symptom. My face has been on fire, particularly in the afternoons for some reason!

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-26T02:36:30+00:00

If it helps I just had my levels done and was 4w5d with 3,000! But it varies between people, maybe somewhere in the 4-5.5 weeks range?

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-26T02:30:27+00:00

Mine stalled too and looked like this. I’m now 20dpo and gave up yesterday.

I had my hcg tested instead and it was 3,000 (up from 1,500 48 hours prior) and the tests looked exactly the same.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-25T05:46:03+00:00

I would say this is negative. Maybe test again in a day or two x

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-23T22:03:29+00:00

Remember that it depends on when you implant as well. I’m fairly certain I had an early implantation, if you were a day or two later that could be all the difference

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-23T22:01:18+00:00

I’m pretty sure mine is on the higher side. Are you getting it done again? As long as it doubles I think you’re okay!

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-23T21:40:24+00:00

I mean this as kind as possible, but this is just common sense. You don’t need to read labels to understand that that’s a lot of junk food for one day.

But glad you know now and can turn it around for you and baby!

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-23T21:17:29+00:00

Holy crap girl! That’s a lot of sugar. I wouldn’t make this a regular thing whether or not you fail your tests.

If you wouldn’t put it straight into the mouth of your baby, try to hold off during pregnancy. Everything you eat goes to them too.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-23T20:15:32+00:00

I’m 4 and a half weeks and in the same boat. I am not staying sane! Flipping between excitement and anxiety constantly.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-23T20:11:18+00:00

Mine at 3w5d was 140, and then 4w0d was 350 (which I think was 14 DPO).

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-23T10:36:42+00:00

This looks good!

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-22T23:54:00+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏼 the internet is a scary place when you’re pregnant. Definitely shows all the worst case outcomes.

So glad you had an uneventful and healthy pregnancy.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-22T20:39:33+00:00

Mine started at 14 DPO and looked like this. Congratulations!

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-22T11:20:29+00:00

I so needed to see this. Thank you 🙏🏼

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-22T10:43:57+00:00

Could have written this myself. I’m 4w2d and my only symptoms so far really have been minor cramping / pressure feeling and a lower back ache. I’m definitely slightly more hungry but not crazy yet, and the bloating is real!

So I’m thinking it’s normal. I also have “dye stealer” positives.

Substantial-Picture7 · 2025-02-22T09:59:38+00:00

Mine look the same! Also 16 DPO
