I’m 6 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby after a very traumatic loss in January (12 weeks, ended up septic and in the hospital).
My previous pregnancies I’ve always been pretty bad with morning sickness, tiredness, and food aversions around this time but so far I have no symptoms other than a positive pregnancy test and slightly more tired (I have a toddler so it could just be that!)
Trying to stay positive but with no symptoms and a loss previously, I can’t help but think the worst.
Anyone else going through this?

I'm so sorry for your loss and that you had the septic issue. I always worry about that.
I had a loss in November and one in February. The February one was really rough because I gave up hope it could ever be different. I'm 8 weeks today and that's longer than I made it with those other 2. I try to tell myself I'm choosing courage and hope everyday. The outcome will be what it is but I spent so much time worrying last time that I didn't enjoy any of the time I did have with that baby. Eventually I will meet one of these babies and each painful loss was a step I crossed in love to get to that baby that will stay. Hopefully this one. 🤞

@USMama92,
thanks for your kind words. You are right in saying the outcome will be what it is, as we have no control, and God has a plan for everything. Hoping this babe sticks for you and sorry for your losses as well. It’s such an emotional journey.

@Elisabet24,
true! I just remember previous pregnancies losing weight in the first trimester from food aversions/sickness and this time around I can’t stop eating lol! Every pregnancy is different for sure.

So sorry for your loss. I had a 8 week loss this February and although I did feel some nausea and threw up a few times around 5-6 weeks, I still had very minimal symptoms. Now I’m 6w3d and nothing. No vomiting, no nausea, no sore boobs or cramping. I feel totally normal. My scan is this Friday and I’m hoping for the best.

I feel the same. 6 weeks & no symptoms. It’s tough, I’m not even nauseous.

@momma287,
I hear you. It may be a blessing, but it’s polar opposites from previous pregnancies!
