I am 12 weeks pregnant after a 21 weeks pprom loss. This pregnancy I have a fundal placenta and i was reading a bit about it when I came across a research which says that having a fundal placenta increases the risk of pprom. This has literally freaked me out. I don’t want to go through another loss.
Did any one of you had a fundal placenta? What was your outcome in that pregnancy? Did you deliver early ?

We are considering putting a cervical stitch this time around at 14 weeks .
But i have a fundal placenta which in itself is a risk for pprom as the weakest part of membrane is near the cervix.
People who got a stitched placed and had a fundal placenta what was your experience. Did it help you ?
What precautions should I take, should i skip the stitch.
Please help ease my mind.

Hello! I got my beta HGC today and my levels are 1,003
Are these normal levels? I’m scared cause I’ve been cramping a lot lately ☹️ maybe an early implantation, I got my faint positive at 8 DPO, yesterday I got a Dye stealer at 14 DPO. I’m felling a lot of symptoms, I felt the implantation cramps as well at 6Dpo I was sure my period was coming so I couldn’t believe it when i saw the positive.

Hi! I’m new to the beta world and full of anxiety. My LMP was September 18th, but NC has me at 3 weeks 5 days today based on BBT temp confirming ovulation. My first draw on 10/15 was 49 and second draw yesterday 10/17 was 128. I’m super anxious because my OB said these numbers are on the lower end of normal, despite such a good rise. Can anyone share similar experiences, info, advice? I feel like my OB made me worry unnecessarily. Thanks ladies.

Hello I’m about a little over 4 weeks along. My first hcg was 39 and it doubled to 78 in 48 hours. I took a test 48 hours after that to assume myself and it is lighter! It is still first response but from a different batch as the logo looks different on the tests. Could it be because of the test batches or am I likely miscarrying? I wanted to attach a photo but can’t figure out how.

Hello. I am in my first pregancy with 26w+3d.

During the anatomy scan at my 20th week, we found out that the baby has cyst in her bladder along with mild spine problem and possible clubbing of foot. We were referred to an MFM specialist whom diagnosed the problems as LUTO and the others as congenital.

We have been monitoring the bladders, kidney and my amniotic fluid. The bladders are distended, kidneys are dilated; however, the fluid at this point remains adequate which might show possible partial blockage only.

We have been taking the baby's measurements, and recently, at 26w, her abdominal circumference has advanced to 30w (which is 4 weeks away from her actual gestational age).

I don't know who to ask anymore, there is not much specialist here in my country.

Please share your stories about LUTO and let me know the possible outcomes. Negative or positive will be much appreciated.

I’m currently 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant, around 9 months after my ectopic pregnancy, and I’m struggling with so much anxiety.

My last ectopic was such a traumatic experience. I had absolutely no symptoms and didn’t find out anything was wrong until my 8 week scan. I never suspected a thing, which makes this pregnancy even scarier because I don’t know how I’d recognise it happening again.

I’m so happy to be pregnant again, but I’m also terrified of getting excited and going through the same heartbreak all over again.

For those who have been pregnant again after an ectopic:

When did you have your first ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy was in the right place?

How did you cope with the anxiety while waiting for your scan?

Does anyone have any positive stories of a healthy pregnancy after an ectopic?

I’m planning to contact my doctor about an early scan, but I’d really appreciate hearing from others who understand this fear.

This experience has left me traumatised, and I just want some reassurance that things can be different this time. ❤️

Thank you to anyone willing to share their experiences.

I’m 5w4d today. It’s an IVF Pregnancy, and I’ve had two previous losses and no live birth. It’s also been a really tough journey to even get to this pregnancy.

I had strong initial betas, and my clinic won’t do any more - they said there’s no more useful information they can give, and I’m best to wait til my scan. My last beta was about a week ago now.

Apart from fatigue, I have no real symptoms at all.

In my previous pregnancy, I was feeling queasy on and off from 5w. I’m so nervous that my lack of symptoms is a bad sign. My first scan isn’t until 7w1d!

Should I be worried?

Hi all,

I am currently having weekly ultrasounds for a 1 week discrepancy in dates and baby is growing well since the first scan, measuring had a scan last week that saw a baby growing well at 6.6mm (6w4d) and having a heartbeat of 115bpm.

No one said anything to me and it wasn’t in the ultrasound report at all, but looking at the photos, there is a large mass in the gestational sac! It looks bigger than the baby. From what I can gather, the internet seems to think it’s a chorionic bump.

My question is, has anyone had one of these before? Was their doctor concerned? I read about increased risk of chromosome issues and miscarriage, which has now added to my concern about measuring 1 week behind.

why on earth did the ultrasound tech not report this? It’s so obviously in there on the pictures.

Thanks in advance. I am stressing out now even more than I was

Currently 11+3 after back to back losses. Any tips for dealing with anxiety spirals?

For example, today I made myself a breakfast sandwich at home with cured meat that I cooked thoroughly (used a meat thermometer, cooked to over 180F). I’m still somehow convinced I’m going to get listeria or toxo. Any tips for when this kind of stuff happens? It’s hard to talk myself down off the ledge.

(I do have a therapist btw).

Supposed to be 7 weeks pregnant today - LMP was August 29, did not diligently track ovulation but typical cycle is 28-30 days.

Found out I was pregnant at 3wks 5 days, first pregnancy

Yesterday went to hospital for peace of mind as I had two days of light spotting with cramping more on my left side. Hcg rose from 6000-9000 in 3 days.
Ultrasound(abdominal and transvaginal) showed an empty gestational sac in the uterus measuring 12mm or equivalent to approx. 5 weeks gestation. Also showed a small subchorionic hematoma.

Is there any chance this isn’t a blighted ovum?! I don’t understand how I could possibly be 5 weeks.
The NP didnt seem to even know what that was and said this was normal for 5 weeks. However I don’t believe I could be 5 weeks. I think I’ll be following up with a repeat ultrasound in 1-2 weeks and mostly mentally preparing for a loss. Any one have any similar experiences? Any positive?

Also does this mostly rule out any possibility of ectopic? My left ovary wasn’t properly visualized in the imaging.

Started ivf rounds before i turned 35. had a positive twice but pregnancy never progressed. We stopped last year and I had been grieving and trying to make myself accept the reality. We still have sex but nothing ever happens. so I was shaking and in shock when I saw the positive line show up - 3 days late with no spotting. i should be celebrating and be happy but I can’t help but hold back. I’m just expecting the worst..

i’ve been feeling sore in my armpits and felt really weak and ’car-sick’ yesterday. today I feel kinda fine though.

not sure what I should do..
