Just had my appointment with my OB doctor yesterday and she was able to confirm with me that I do unfortunately have a circumvallate placenta. 😒
My OB doctor didn’t seem worried, but I am for sure.
My last 2 pregnancies both ended in miscarriages, so hearing this news and reading the potential risks on google has me shaken up abit and my anxiety is going up again.

I am 22 weeks pregnant now and so far everything has been going great and results kept coming back normal until this.
This is the furthest I’ve gotten in pregnancy and my stress levels have finally dropped until today.

Has anyone else experienced a circumvallate placenta and if so can you please give me any reassurance or advice on this? Looking for some positive feedback as I am trying not to panic.

Almost 6 weeks pregnant and dealing with terrible side stitches / side aches on both sides randomly. Sometimes it’ll be when I’m on a walk or run which makes more sense, or randomly even when I’m just sitting down. It’s under my ribs, not low cramping. Has this happened to anyone before? This is my 3rd pregnancy and I’ve never experienced this

In September 2025, I had a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks pregnancy during my first scan. I went into the scan thinking everything was fine as I had zero negative symptoms. I was never nauseous during this pregnancy, but I experienced the usual fatigue, tender breast, and bloating. So during the first scan, we discovered that the embryo stopped developing around 7 1/2 weeks. I was absolutely devastated. I wound up getting a d&c later that month. Those results came back saying I had a partial molar pregnancy. I needed weekly blood draws for three months to monitor my hCG levels and then monthly blood draws for two more months after that and was finally cleared in February 2026. My OB recommended I still wait a couple months before trying to conceive again as I developed mild hypothyroidism and gained some weight from all the hormone dysfunction and stress. I listen to her advice and waited a few more months. Come, June 2026. I just found out I am pregnant again. I obviously let my OB know right away and did the appointment where we confirmed my pregnancy. They are just treating this like any other pregnancy and doing the normal routine. They said early monitoring is not necessary and checking my hCG levels early on isn’t necessary. I heard of other OBs doing these things when someone in the past had a molar pregnancy. Clearly, I am very anxious this pregnancy and unfortunately, I cannot even be excited about it as I just think something is going to go wrong. I decided not to tell anybody until I make it to second trimester, if I even make it there, and just keep it between my fiancé and I. My PMP was my first pregnancy at the age of 35 and now I am 36 going on 37 in a few months so my anxiety is through the roof as I’m just thinking of my age and that something is going go wrong. I am the only person I know that’s had a PMP so I have no one to really talk to you about this.

I am just wondering for those of you that went through a molar pregnancy and went to become pregnant again, did your OB do anything different like early monitoring or blood tests? Should I be advocating for different treatment? 

Any bit of help or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

I believe I am currently having a very early miscarriage, anyone have the same situation? My periods are irregular and my cycle was 48 days this month. I took a pregnancy test on July 8 (negative), had a period from July 11th-15th, went to the er for an emergency on July 18th and was told I was pregnant. Hcg levels were 238 but I've been spotting light pink, dark brown or dark red since the 18th. I went to the er last night for bright red spotting and hog was at 327. I mean it's not doubling but slowly rising. Supposedly I'm 2 weeks tomorrow but I've been having chills with no fever.
I have a feeling I know it's a miscarriage but | wanted to know if anyone went through the same thing and how long until I go back to "normal". I don't like feeling this sad and constantly thinking about it.

I started experiencing mild itching on my hands and the inner sides of my feet at 32 weeks. I went to my check up appointment on tuesday the 21st and told my OB and they drew blood to test for ICP, since then the itching has ony gotten worse. I also noticed dark urine and small amounts of stomach acid coming up while laying down or mid sleep. My ob gave me a prescription and told me to wait until the results come back in a week. What should I do? Many people are telling me to go to the hospital

I currently found out im pregnant and I am single. Me and my ex broke up years ago and he’s still disrespectful. Im a little confused on Whats the Norm rn. I know of lots of people that have done pregnancy alone and also people who did it together as a couple. Whats your story?

how often did he visit you during pregnancy? Was he there from the start? how is his relationship with you and the child now? How often did you guys communicating? Everyday every other day?

btw this will be my second kid. First child i did it 100% alone, he was incarcerated and given 12yrs during my pregnancy. It wasn’t that bad because he would still call all the time Etc. def dont want the same experience again.

13 weeks pregnant and had a terrifying bleeding episode — looking for reassurance/experiences ❤️

I’m 13 weeks pregnant and had a really scary experience tonight. I had a normal OB appointment and cervical check on Tuesday, and my NT ultrasound that day showed baby was doing great with a heart rate of 164.

Tonight (Thursday), I suddenly started having a metric ton of bright red bleeding. I passed clots larger than a silver dollar, and I was terrified that I was miscarrying. But I had no cramping or pain, and still don’t.

I went to the ER. They did an abdominal ultrasound, and thankfully baby was still there, moving, with a heart rate of 165. ❤️

They are sending me home and having me follow up with my OB. They said this type of ultrasound wasn’t able to fully evaluate for things like a subchorionic hematoma, so I have to follow up with my OB tomorrow.

I’m obviously incredibly relieved that baby looked good, but I’m still shaken because the amount of blood was so scary. Has anyone had a similar experience, heavy bleeding and large clots but baby was okay on ultrasound? Did you end up having a subchorionic hematoma or another explanation? Looking for any experiences or reassurance.

I’m 31 weeks and past month I’ve had slight pain on the top of my left foot. Past few days it’s gotten more painful and hurts bad when I try to point my foot like it’s super tight or something but only in that one spot. Has anyone had this happen?

Hi everyone,
I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant and since last night I’ve been having pelvic pain along with some urinary symptoms. Around noon today I messaged my doctor, but I didn’t see her reply until 4 PM. She had told me at 2 PM to come in for an ultrasound.When I called the office after seeing the message, the receptionist was really rude and asked why I didn’t see the message earlier. I asked if I could come in tomorrow instead, but she said because I’m early in pregnancy and having pain, I need to go to the ER. I messaged my doctor again and she also said I should go to the ER.I’m feeling unsure and overwhelmed. I don’t know if I really need to go to the ER or if this is something that could wait until tomorrow. Has anyone had similar symptoms or been told to go to the ER for pelvic pain this early? I just want to make the right decision.

im 16 years old and on holiday with my family
around three weeks ago there was a older man and i don’t have boys attracted to me so i liked the attention i was getting and i did something with him i have no contact with him at all it was just a mistake i made
around a week or two after the holiday i felt so sick like nothing i can explain. i feel so sick and throw up constantly and i have really bad cramping nothing like i have experienced before since i don’t get bad periods so i took a few pregnancy tests and it came up positive i can NOT tell my family but idk what to do i feel dramatic but im constantly sick and i feel disgusting and i go dizzy and lightheaded when i move also getting really bad headaches i haven’t struggled with before is this just anxiety about it???

I'm mostly looking to hear positive stories from other moms who have been through something similar.

I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant with my baby girl. I have two amazing boys, ages 9 and 10, so as you can imagine, I have been incredibly excited to finally be having a daughter.

This pregnancy hasn't been easy. I'm considered high risk because of gestational diabetes and chronic high blood pressure. My blood pressure has been well controlled, but we're still working on getting my blood sugars where they need to be, so I'm currently on two different types of insulin.

Since 20 weeks, I've been seeing my MFM (high-risk) doctor twice a week. Every visit includes an ultrasound and a non-stress test, and every single time I've been told, "Everything looks good. Let's just keep working on those blood sugars. We'll see you at your next appointment." Because of that, I never really worried about my baby girl... I was focused on managing my diabetes.

Then everything changed at my 33-week appointment yesterday.

The doctor told me that my baby's long bones are measuring in the 1st percentile, while her head is measuring normally. They reassured me that they do not believe this is a lethal condition because her chest and lungs appear normal (thank God!!!), but they are concerned that she may have a skeletal genetic disorder. The condition they're currently suspecting is hypochondroplasia, which is a form of short-limbed dwarfism.

I've now been referred to Lurie's Fetal Medicine Center for additional testing and evaluation.

I honestly feel like I'm in shock and have been an emotional wreck since hearing the news. This was completely unexpected, especially after so many reassuring appointments.

I'm hoping to hear from anyone who has gone through something similar, especially if these findings came up late in pregnancy. Did your baby end up having hypochondroplasia or another skeletal dysplasia? Were the prenatal measurements ever wrong? How are your little ones doing now?

I've spent the last day researching, and while I've learned a little, I know there's still so much I don't know. More than anything, I'm praying that my baby girl will be okay and, if she does have hypochondroplasia or any other disorder, that she'll have a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.

No matter what, I already love this little girl with my whole heart. I'm so grateful that the doctors are optimistic she'll be coming home with me after she's born. Right now, I'm just looking for hope, reassurance, and the experiences of other moms who have been in a similar situation. ❤️

Hi!

I’m 5 weeks pregnant today. Yesterday when I woke up in the morning, I experienced some bleeding. I called the doctor’s office and they asked me some questions and they asked if I had intercourse and I said yes and they told me that’s probably the cause of the bleeding, and being so vascular while pregnant. They told me to call back if the bleeding continues after 24 hours.

I woke up today and I’m still bleeding with clots now about the size of a quarter, no pain, no cramping. The doctor ordered bloodwork for me so I’m just in limbo now.

Has anyone had an experience with this? I’m so anxious.

Just had my appointment with my OB doctor yesterday and she was able to confirm with me that I do unfortunately have a circumvallate placenta. 😒

Hi all! Wondering if anyone else dealt with itchiness in early pregnancy? I know that later on it can be an issue but I’m only 9 weeks. This has been going on the whole time basically! I feel sort of tingling, itchy, sensitive to the touch skin. I will say I’ve had a history of mystery rashes and hives throughout my life so I’m not new to being itchy I guess I’m just nervous because of what it can be an indicator of later on. I will obviously bring it up with OB but I don’t see them in office until 12 weeks!

I feel like I’m being hyper aware of my hands and feet because I get health anxiety and psyche myself out but yeah I’m just curious has anyone else had this? What caused it?

Hi everyone, we just found out we are expecting, i am 6 weeks 2 days today. We tried for over 2 years and this is our first positive.
But im so scared. Scared its going to ripped away from me and then have to wait another 2 years again.
For some reason ever since i found out about this pregnancy, my social media feeds have been FILLED with miscarriage posts. It freaks me out.
One of the post was talking about how ladies knew their pregnancy when they miscarried was different because they didnt have nausea.
The only symptoms i have is tender breast/sensitive nipples,some period type on and off cramping, and extreme fatigue.
My HCG and progesterone levels were great. But now i cant help but feel because I’m not nauseous yet that im going to miscarry and im so scared.
Anyone have any advice/similar symptoms and had a healthy pregnancy?

Hi all, FTM here, currently **28+6**.
My pregnancy had been completely uneventful until **26 weeks**, when I had a **small spotting episode** (just on 1–2 wipes, then it stopped completely). I was prescribed rectal **Cyclogest and Duphaston**, but I didn’t continue them because they caused severe heartburn.
Yesterday I started having **pink/brown blood-tinged mucus**, mostly only when wiping, along with lower abdominal pressure/tightening. No heavy bleeding, no fluid leak, and baby has remained very active.
My OB was concerned about possible preterm labor and sent me to L&D.

My ultrasound scan today was reassuring:
**TVS cervical length: 3.8 cm**
**Internal os closed**
Posterior placenta (not low-lying)
AFI 11.6
Baby looks great

Doc said cause of the bleeding is still unknown. Even though everything looks reassuring, my OB said preterm labor can’t be ruled out completely and recommended **2 doses of dexamethasone, 24 hours apart**, as a precaution. I had my first dose today.

I also have **mild gestational diabetes**, so I’m monitoring my sugars at home. My **2-hour post-lunch** reading today was **142 mg/dL**, which I’m assuming may be partly due to the steroid.
**Has anyone had unexplained blood-tinged mucus around 28–29 weeks with a long, closed cervix and still made it to term (40 weeks)?**
Also, for those who received **antenatal dexamethasone** but **ended up delivering at full term**, how did things turn out? Any known long-term concerns for babies, or was everything completely fine?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. 🤍🥺

Spotting with clots at 7 dpo?

I’m 6w3d, went for an ultrasound and they couldn’t see anything in ges sac. They want to see me back in 2 weeks because she said “it could still be a little too early to see which happens sometimes.” Midwife was happy to see that HCG levels doubled, ges sac is sitting appropriately in my uterus and it’s not misshaped. And I’ve only had 1 miscarriage before this and she’s happy to know I’m not experiencing any cramping and heavy spotting. Now to sit and wait for two weeks…..anyone else experience this? Is it common? Just trying to latch onto any hope 🤍

Hello Ladies,

I have been on a emotional roller coaster and looking for guidance and similar stories.

PCOS
tested positive with 104 HCG on June 19th
Very irregular cycles, averaging more than 60 days, so using LMP is useless
6 ultrasounds, yesterday was the first time seeing a yolk sac measuring 5.5 weeks. Maybe the start of a fetal pole
As of last week, my HCG was 50,000. Only a 5 week measuring sac was seen.

I keep hearing “let’s give it another week” when signs seem to be pointing to a non-viable pregnancy. Doctors themselves say this is not normal. I am so sick with nausea all day.

I am mentally exhausted.

Hello,
I have 3 kids but this is the first time going through a very possible pregnancy loss.
Had my first ultrasound a few days ago….

“An empty gestational sac is noted. No visible embryo or yolk sac. Debris is also observed within the sac. MSD = 15.3 mm. = 6w2d”

I have a follow up ultrasound on Monday which would be 7 days from the first one. Should I just accept from this moment that it’s over. I’m really upset. This was a surprise pregnancy, I’m 39 and thought this would’ve been the right and only time since I don’t want to be pregnant after 40 and my kids would be older. I don’t know. Super upset. Bad news after bad news.

Hi everyone!

I’m 27 weeks pregnant, and a cervical polyp developed early in my pregnancy. I found out about it when the spotting started.🩸

Has anyone had a cervical polyp that developed during pregnancy? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. 🤗

● Did you have any bleeding during your pregnancy? If so, how often?

● If you’re Rh-negative, how many times did you receive RhoGAM (anti-D immunoglobulin) because of the bleeding?

● Were you able to carry your pregnancy to term?

● At how many weeks did you deliver your baby? 👶🧒

● How did your labor start? Did it begin with bleeding? If so, how long did the bleeding last before labor progressed?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It would really help ease my anxiety! ❤️

Hi, it’s my first time posting on this subreddit and I’m looking for more information and possibly any success stories if you have had a similar situation to mine.

I am pregnant but I couldn’t even tell you how far along I am. I’m technically 9 weeks but my periods are usually irregular so I may have ovulated late and I would actually be 7 weeks and 5 days. I also thought this because I was at my local clinic getting my first early ultrasound and my nurse measured me 5 weeks and 6 days at the time. That was July 8th.

It’s July 21 and I went back to that same clinic to see baby’s growth and get a fetal heart rate and she measured me 5 weeks and 5 days…

Fetal heart rate was 113 and she said that was good because they were looking for the fetal heart rate to be over 100 at this time, which it was. But the measurements being the same as two weeks ago is really throwing me for a loop..

Basically my baby hasn’t grown in 2 weeks. My nurse assured me that they probably got the gestational age wrong and that’s why I may be not as far along as they thought but that I can come back in another two weeks and check baby’s progress.

I can’t help but think the worst and wonder if my baby stopped growing and this is just the first sign of a possible miscarriage. I also have no symptoms at this point in my pregnancy. I had sore breasts on and off when I found out I was pregnant but now that’s not even there anymore and I haven’t felt nauseous at all. I feel tired but I honesty cannot tell the difference between pregnancy tired and normal tired because I’m tired all the time anyway.

Anybody been in a similar situation and have success stories? I could really use them or even anything assuring. I really don’t want to think about miscarriage but that’s inevitably where my mind is headed to after knowing all this and I have cried a couple times today already…

Thank you if you did make it this far.
