    What do you think?

    I'm not sure if I have posted this in the right thread, so mods please advise otherwise.

    I'm having a blah day, and need some reassurance.

    I am 6w6d preg again, had some brown CM yesterday, not a lot though, but now the anxiety has set in!
    We have a scan booked for next Sat.
    I have kind of forgotten what are normal preg symptoms!
    This time round I've got fuller BBs, but not sore, and nipples are always cold and erect
    I have been feeling queasy but not enough to throw up, and only after smelling something or eating!

    Is this 'normal' morning sickness?

    Oh and tired, that has been the give away each time though!
    I have kind of lost faith in my body a little and all the other lovely things that happen after 2 m/c's...

    I can completely understand your anxiety. With my DS i had absolutely NO symptoms until 7 weeks then it hit me like a tonne of bricks! Your current symptoms sound like very normal early pregnancy ones. Morning sickness doesn't always have to be hugging the toilet bowl every 5 minutes for some women its just constant queasiness and some don't experience it at all and i call those women 'abnormal'

    Providing you have no red blood or painful cramps i wouldn't worry and try relax (a lot easier said that done i know!)

    this is a sticky bub xx

    Thanks LMS! I will try to relax!
    Joeve, thank you again- I hate the feeling of not knowing and yet kind of angry at myself for putting myself through it again. You really have given me hope, I just wish my mind and body would follow! It's sooo draining!
    I have had about a week of just blah, dizziness and washiness, but as I know each preg can be different, but I have no real sense of 'normal'.

    Hi MLR1901, just popping in to wish you all the best. I won't say don't worry as I will be the same when and I say when not if (trying to remain positive) I get my sticky bubba next. Once you've had a miscarriage it's impossible to not worry about everything. I know loads of girls who have had spotting throughout the first trimester and I only got sore boobs when I got to the 2nd trimester with my daughter. Everyone and every pregnancy is different, I like to look at the morning sickness this way, you're just not feeling too blah because the universe figures you've been through enough already and is being kind for once! Thats what I'm hoping for next time too. Try and stay positive and I am crossing everything for you that your little one sticks this time xx

    Thanks heaps Alison! It is soo hard, to try to relax, to try and be positive, and all the other worries!
    Someone once told me as soon as you think about having children the worry begins!

    Congratulations on your pregnancy Hun! And for your angel bubbas
    It's so hard not to stress about symptoms, or lack of, or the severity of them etc. It sucks! I hate the first trimester!
    All I can offer is my experience. My two healthy boys- no bleeding, no ms AT ALL (not even nausea), chronic thrush, no bleeding, horrendous cramping,frequent urination and super sore bb's.
    My 3rd mc was a girl, and I'm currently pg with a girl. Frequent urination but not as much as with the boys, queasy pangs early on but only for 5 mins for about a week, i did have 1 bout of my style of ms which is a sudden onset of the runs & vomiting & dizziness & sweating from every pore of my body- once this time,not bleeding with my mc until 11w2d (only spotting-then found out via u/s a few days later she was gone) and with this pg bleeding of varying degrees from 6-18w.

    The boys Pg's were nearly exactly the same, my girl Pg's too but the bleeding with this one threw me! I also had really low progesterone and slow rising hcg but I'm still pg! I so thought I was going to mc and so did my doctor but she's hung on- so you just never know.
    Massive hugs and I have everything crossed that in may you'll be bringing home your bubba! Lots of love xxx

    Hugs for you, the joys of finding out your pregnant get so overcome by worry sometimes I think. I am 5weeks pregnant with and I have no symptoms what so ever and in all my other pregnancies I have has things by now. Each pregnancy is different so try not to compare to much with what it was last time. Like the others said try and relax. What you described sounds very much like good pregnancy symptoms to me. Good luck, but I am sure you don't need it.
