Seeking reassurance
Hello, first time mum at 6 weeks and 6 days based on LMP (though I believe I ovulated later last month so this may be ~3 days off).
My first scan is next week at 7w4d.
So far, I have had minimal symptoms:
-Sore boobs (fluctuating- not always bad)
-Insomnia for the last 3 weeks (since I found out at 3w5d - at times, the insomnia is crippling)
-Zero nausea, minimal food aversion (sometimes nothing seems appealing to eat… but pretty minimal)
-Fluctuating RHR which spiked the first couple of weeks after testing positive, but has now stabilised and is quite low. I am slim and am generally fit, my RHR pre-pregnancy hovered around 46-50bpm. First few weeks of pregnancy it spiked (up to a maximum of 59bpm) but it has settled to around 55-56bpm. My heart rate does rise a lot faster than usual when exercising or moving around of course, so I do get breathless more than usual (to be expected)
-Bit tireder but it hasn’t been so bad this week
-Zero cramping or bleeding
I am generally feeling positive that my pregnancy is healthy. I have done a lot of deep diving online and on Reddit, and I understand that minimal symptoms can be normal… but I guess I am just finding the pre-scan wait quite difficult, and would love some reassurance!
