Anxious; symptomless
I feel sort of stupid, but we just had a MC in September and find ourselves happily pregnant again. I started this pregnancy really calm, sure this would stick... We've now known for a week and I keep waiting for any symptoms like I had with my first. My hcg only went up to 106 at 6 wks in my entire last pregnancy, and my last test three days ago was at 459.7 after almost a triple in 2 days (169.4 on 11/4 @ 3 wks 5 days, intense nausea on 11/5, and then 459.7 on 11/6 at 4 wks). Today I'm 4 wks 3 days, and I'm not having the need to pee every 4 seconds like my last pregnancy, no sore boobs, nothing. My nausea hasn't resurfaced since that one day. I keep taking hpts and they seem the same as my darkest if not a touch fainter but that could be a lot of things I know, so I decided to stop testing today. I know that sometimes people don't have any symptoms, but with my miscarriage so recently, the difference feels drastic between the two pregnancys. I do suppose I feel disgustingly huge, and I gained 2 lbs, I feel like I'm retaining all the water I drink, all around my abdomen and my face. I also am breaking out, which seems to be my go to pregnancy thing, hoorah. Oh yes, and I have had some stabbing, shooting cramps, which last night felt like they lasted for an eternity and had me praying not to miscarry. I guess they weren't horrible in retrospect, less than period cramps but stabbing, and I have gone to check for blood a few times since then. I just feel like a round pizza face who might not be able to hold on to this baby. With our last pregnancy, my numbers weren't doubling, and so I thought my dr wanted to track them this time round but it seems 2 was enough. I guess I need some reassurance. I'm beginning to feel a bit depressed, and am worried we will lose this one too. My first dr appointment, which I had to force their hand to make, is at 6 wks on 11/20. Anyone in the same boat as me?
