    Yeah, that would generally be too early for it to fade. However, it can come and go and each pregnancy is different so perhaps this one just has a little less nausea for you.

    Tanya - I know exactly how you feel. I am 12 weeks now and i am still constantly checking for blood. I've already had 2 bleeds in this pregnancy and I FREAKED out both times even though it was very little both times. I think it's normal to worry after our past experiences. I hope you feel sick again soon (funny thing to say) so you are reassured that all is well.

    Tanya I'm sorry you're stressing.

    I actually came on here today to ask when does the fear go away? I can see we're in the same boat. Absolutely terrified of losing our bubs again.

    I woke up early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep because my boobs didn't feel very sore. I haven't had many symptoms, so when they're not there, I freak out. I feel fine, and apart from getting tired and occasionally the runs (TMI) from eating meat, I'm perfectly fine and it scares me stupid. I'm REALLY trying to stay positive, but it's so scary. Seeing the hb helped for about 4 days, then the fears came back. Afterall, we saw the hb last time too, didn't mean a thing......

    I'm glad you guys are here. Even reading about someone else being scared too helps a bit, which is weird. I could do with a window into my uterus though, just so I can be certain everything is OK.

    Hoping all our bubs are doing fine and wondering why Mummy is freaking out.

    tashybabe - I'm not sure the fear does completely leave you during a pregnancy after losing babies. For me, the big fear didn't leave until the end of first trimester but I still feel afraid and part of me is convinced something will still go wrong. I try to just enjoy it but even that is getting difficult with heat and stretching and other damage to self being so easy now. I guess that's normal but it is still something I struggle with because I was so naive for my first two pregnancies, I just assumed from the moment I knew I was preg that everything was fine and perfect and I'd have a beautiful baby at the end, and because that's pretty much what happened, it was such a shock when I then had two m/c after having two healthy pregs. When people ask about it, I tell them everything's great and pretend there's no fear but at the back of my mind I can't help thinking that things are going too easily now and something has to go wrong. It's tough, but they tell me it's worth it in the end. I'm sure it will be (and I'm also sure I'll never stop colouring my hair to keep all the new greys hidden!)

    Milly I think I checked my paper in the loo till I was 24 weeks. I know that doesn't help but at least you're not alone.

    Tanya keeping food down is a good thing.

    Smallfry I agrea with you totally I think a mc makes up fearful and careful but also so apreciative of what we have.

    ATM Just waiting ladies, Nothing I can control, just have to wait.
    Although thank goodness for cool change! I almost melted last night.
    Loads of belly pain but no signs of labor yet. Common bubba it's time.........

    Hello ladies, im so glad ive just found this thread and think its about time i posted.
    Firstly its SO good to see so many familiar face in here and also a HUGE congratulations to zstar on the arrival of little Billy.
    I think i really need to post in here because to be honest im freaking out at the moment and there are still just so many m/c happening around me and i think that too is stressing me out a little.
    Im 7w5d today so its further than what i was last time, ive had no bleeding at all and have had terrible ms and the sorest bb's ever (all sounds good i know but just cant help but worry) Ive had some sharp pains in my lower abdomin over the past few days and i think thats whats concerning me the most. I dont go for my first scan until the 27th Jan and have tried to get in earlier but cant anywhere.
    Sorry for the rant girls but as you all must know its always in the back of your mind after suffering a loss.
    I just cant wait for this 1st trimester to be over and to start enjoying this pregnancy

    eliselouise! If i'd realised you didn't know where this thread was I'd have invited you when I saw your bfp! Congrats again and again and again! Great to see you in here at last! Cramps are pretty normal for where you're at - everything starts to stretch and swell and that makes things crampy. Doesn't mean you don't stress but it helps to know it's normal!

    greenslw - you're itching to get that baby out aren't you?! lol Wasn't long ago you were worried it would all happen early.

    Hi eliselouise so great to see you and I too didn't realise that you didn't know where this thread was when I suggested you post in here I am sorry to hear that you are also worrying and I hope the 2nd tri would hurry up for us all so we can relax a little!

    I have a question about a doppler, my 1st scan is next Wed but I will only be 6 weeks 6 days, can a heartbeat be heard that early with a doppler? I don't expect him to see much if he does a scan because it's at the OB's office not with a sonographer. The OB had originally said to come in at 8 weeks but he will be away so it was either a week earlier or a week later so I thought the sooner the better and I will than get another scan at 9 weeks with a sonographer... But will it jut be a waste of time going that early?

    AFM I think those little acupuncture needles in my ear are really working! Whenever I am feeling sick I rub them and it goes away! amazing... Now I just hope they can stop me from vomiting cause I know it's still early days. I'm also excited that I've booked into do pilates at a physios office 2 x a week, they have small classes of 3 and I've asked to be in a class with other woman who are pregnant
