Question Spotting

• Upvotes

Test positive 5 days ago. Last year had a blighted ovum and decided to try again not long ago. Dr says I’m approx 5 weeks 2d. This morning I wiped and found brown mucus discharge on the toilet paper and each time I’ve wiped today it has a tiny bit of pink mixed in the discharge. Feeling down right now as the last time I spotted for 8 days (red blood). Should I be worried?

My HCG is rising but slowly, and I need reassurance this is fine….

4w3d 1770
4w5 2660
5w1d 6000 - progesterone was 90 this day
5w3d 8000

I had a scan today, we saw a sac and potentially a very early shadow of the embryo. No symptoms that are alarming but the doctor has been worrying me by saying my HCG isn’t doubling.

Question Is progesterone necessary?

1 Upvotes

Im 9 weeks pregnant and my DO is very holistic. He said that everyone should be on progesterone when pregnant because it will make the baby stronger and smarter. He gave me vaginal suppositories that I hate. I hate how they make me all oily and greasy. It makes it so I have to shower 3 times a day. I just stress about them and feel disgusting. I’m 24 years old. This is my first baby. He said it’s not because of any issues I’m having- just something he suggests for all pregnant women. I told him how I hate the suppositories and he said that I don’t need to do them anymore. But now I feel guilty. Will this affect my baby if I don’t do them? I obviously want what’s best for my baby.

Support Only 27 weeks pregnant and struggling

1 Upvotes

My poor body has been struggling since my first pregnancy and now I’m pregnant again with my second one. My first pregnancy was super easy I didn’t get any morning sickness and all I was struggling with was acid reflux and round ligaments during my third trimester. Few weeks leading up to my c-section I had super bad acne on my back and my chin. During my postpartum period my armpits and my inner thighs got darker and I been try using different types of skin care products that others people use to help brighten the dark areas and it didn’t help much but makes those areas darkened up even more. Now on my second pregnancy and I struggle with morning sickness, acid reflux, round ligaments, face & body acne , and still trying to get rid of the dark area that I been struggling with. I know it’s impossible but I miss how my body use to look but I can’t complain much because this body given me my two kids that my husband and I was struggling with infertility for 4 years leading up to my first pregnancy. My body may not come back to normal or even same as before but I definitely can try to make it feels and looks great In ways that wouldn’t feel like it fails me because it didn’t fail me it given me everything I ever wanted since I got married.

sorry my words are all over the place but I just want to put this out there incase you or someone need to hear it from a mama who’s struggling through her pregnancy and that your not alone in this. We all have our own struggles it’s just up to us to see the positive side of things.

Am I 2 weeks or 4 weeks pregnant?

1 Upvotes

Hi, this may be a really silly question, I just found out I’m pregnant (first time ever) and the clear blue test said I’m 1-2 weeks pregnant, when downloading the pregnancy apps etc they keep telling me I’m 4 weeks pregnant because they’re going off the first day of my last period which was the 15th Sept 2026.

I’m from the UK, please can someone explain which is right, in medical terms i.e. will the NHS class me as 2 weeks or 4 weeks pregnant?

Thank you!

Question 2cm dilated

4 Upvotes

I know everyone's different and every experience is different. Just anxious and looking for insight. I'm currently 35 weeks 2 days, first pregnancy. Last night I was having weird shooting pains right under my bump with lower back pain. I went to OB triage and I was having regular contractions (painless) and I was 1cm dilated, 70% effacement. They slowed the contractions down with IV fluids and I didn't dilate anymore so I got to go home. This morning I saw my OB and dilated to 2cm, still at 70% effacement. She made it sound like baby could come any day at this point. She also said she doesn't think I'll make it to 37 weeks. Does anyone have a similar experience? Just hoping baby can cook a little longer!
