How the heck am I going to wait until my 8 wk appointment?

Question

Found out last week that I am pregnant. Today is 5 weeks and 3 days. Other than testing my thyroid my doctor scheduled my first appointment at 8 weeks. So far I have been having what I believe to be mild cramps and I have to pee every 20 mins. Other than that I feel pretty good.  But of course I am second guessing every little thing. Are these mild cramps are these worse than I think (I have a high pain tolerance) etc. Anyways just posting because I’m so anxious and excited and nervous for my first appt. is anyone else watching their calendar and second guessing every little symptom?

Answer

Check and see if you have a ultrasound place open to public. I have a few by where I live. They offer sonograms to confirm pregnancy and it’s only $40. It’s some thing to look into at least.

Answer

I’m in the same boat except I’m about 4 weeks. I’ve been cramping, peeing every 45 mins and having back and breast pain. 
Got my first appointment on May 19th!

Answer

This is my third and I’ve had mild cramping with each in the beginning! Along with having to pee all the time lol totally normal but I know the wait sucks! But it’ll be here once you know it! Probably doesn’t help there’s a lot more waiting in quarantine!  I have two others to keep me busy till then 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m only allowed to go in at 12 weeks. How are you guys getting in before them!?

Answer

My dr will do an appt as early as 6 weeks which is 5/29 for us. Thankfully, they have an appointment available, but gosh it’ll be so hard to wait!

Answer

I had my 1st ultrasound for baby today ! I’m 4 weeks 4 days measuring 5 weeks. gestational sac and yoke sac is what I could see. At 8 weeks baby looks like a teddy bear 😍 I go back next Monday for another ultrasound.

I have sharp pains but I have a corpus luteal cyst. . It normal tho.

Answer

Omg yes. I'm 6 weeks today and I don't really feel pregnant. This is my first pregnancy so I'm really nervous and excited. I was having mild cramps when I first found out, my breast are a little sore and I'm peeing every two hours.

Answer

I’m guessing I’m 5w2d today and don’t even plan on calling the dr u til week 7. Then usually they will do an 8wk US. And I won’t stress out waiting as much! Just recovered from a Mc so I’m not ready to get hyped up yet

Answer

I am 4+6. Only symptoms are mild cramping & slight soreness of the breast. First baby. I expected more symptoms than this. I can’t go to see my dr until June 4 🥺

Answer

I keep second guessing my symptoms too. I'm 5 weeks and 5 days and I have diarrhea and the cramps from it make me paranoid. Ugh it is exhausting. I'm also dealing with nausea and my sense of smell is way too high right now. 😫 I had a couple days of no symptoms which made me worry but turns out it was just the calm before the storm.
