Hello to everyone here, and congratulations on your pregnancies (and your DD, myturn!). Sending love and support your ways for healthy and happy babies.

I have just booked in for my viability/dating scan in a couple of weeks time, and the anxiety has hit me like a truck. I have my DS 3, but lost my second pregnancy (blighted ovum) in April. Feeling scared suddenly. I'm only 5 weeks 1 day today, and no morning sickness yet, but plenty of fatigue and frequent peeing and sore/full bbs. Trying to tell myself that having no morning sickness yet really means nothing - I felt awful with my previous pregnancy, and that was no positive indicator in the end. But yeh... just trying to stay positive and enjoy every moment as best I can. Finding it hard to get support IRL - not through anyone's fault, just don't have any friends who have been through similar experiences.
Hey Lee, I almost could have written your post! Almost. We are in pretty much the same boat. I am probably exactly 5 weeks today, but I am saying 4 weeks 6 days, because I think my embryo was still at the day 4 stage when it was transferred on day 5, and because it makes me feel a bit better, because absolutely no morning sickness here either. I just want it to start.

I had a miscarriage in early May which was about 7.5 weeks, picked up at an early scan at 8 weeks (it was identical twins with Downs, which I didn't know could cause a miscarriage but it can sometimes). I didn't have morning sickness with that pregnancy and with my DD (also 3) I had constant nausea from (I can't be sure) about the 5th week til maybe week 14.

So I am having the thought pop up a lot that "it's not a good sign not to have morning sickness". This is such a hard process. Obviously, we can say, worrying won't change things. Conserve your energy. Live life in the present. But these thoughts are going to persist quite a bit in this time. I have fatigue and sore bbs too, so that is something. I am not sure if it is self-protection but I start to tell myself that "it won't work/don't get your hopes up" ... I guess to feel more in control. In pregnancy, as in life, your lack of control is just so profound, you know. It is like this lesson - You are not in charge!!

lots of peaceful thoughts your way and praying that you are sick ASAP, along with me Or I should say, that whatever happens, sickness being no guarantee, symptoms aside, we both get our healthy babies in 8 months.
