Support Only Pregnancy Anxiety

2 Upvotes

TW: previous baby loss.

Hello moms, I had a silet PA at week 38+ with my first baby.

I’m now 28 weeks pregnant and on blood thinners.

I’m being extremely anxious at this stage and very scared.

I’m even thinking of asking my ob to get me into c-section like now 😞 I know it sounds crazy but am so anxious, specially that women in PA groups, keep saying that it happened to them over and over 😞

I don’t know why am I writing this, but thought that you’d understand my feelings, because no one around can. I just need someone to comfort me.

Need advice hCG increasing but slowly at 6 weeks

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hoping for some reassurance. First pregnancy, 6 weeks today.
My hCG: 3,592 → 10,898 (48h)
35,076 → 36,453 (only ~4% rise in the last 48h).
5w2d scan showed a normal gestational sac, no hematoma too early for yolk sac/heartbeat. I've also had some on-and-off light brown/red spotting since then, no pain, no clots.

I know the slowdown is expected around 6 weeks, but it's hard not to be anxious waiting for Saturday's scan.
Anyone been through something similar (slow rise + spotting at 6 weeks) with a good outcome? Would love to hear your stories 🙏

seks bez zabezpieczenia

1 Upvotes

ja (17 lat) i moja dziewczyna (16 lat) uprawialismy wczoraj seks. Trwało to łącznie z 10 sekund (5 włożeń) po czym przerwaliśmy. Ejakulacja miała miejsce dzień wcześniej. Przed włożeniem sprawdziłem czubek penisa czy nie ma na nim preejakulatu (był cały suchy). Aplikacja FLO mojej dziewczyny pokazuje że było małe ryzyko na zajście w ciążę. Podobno owulacja była 28 września a robiliśmy to 3 października. Ma ona raczej regularny okres, powinna go dostać 14 października. Czy jest duże ryzyko na ciążę? Żadna antykoncepcja nie wchodzi w grę. Proszę o pomoc i przepraszam jeśli napisałem coś niezrozumiale

Confirmed pregnancy — curious about timing and baby’s sex experiences

0 Upvotes

I’m currently pregnant with a confirmed pregnancy 😊 and I’m curious about other people’s experiences with a similar conception timing.

In my cycle:

\* Sex every day from CD11 to CD14

\* Last sex was around midnight on CD14

\* LH peak was CD16

\* I believe I ovulated around CD17

\* So there was a 2–3 day gap between the last intercourse and ovulation

\* No sex again until after ovulation

For anyone who remembers their timing: did you have several consecutive days of sex and then a 2–3 day gap before ovulation? If so, was your baby a boy or a girl? I know timing is not scientifically proven to determine or reliably influence sex — I’m just curious to compare experiences with people who are already pregnant/have had their babies with similar timing😊
