Anxiety

Does anyone else not have many symptoms. I’m so anxious thinking there’s no baby. I’m testing positive and the weekly test has gone up to 2-3 weeks. I need to wee more urgently but I don’t have any nausea. I should be 7 weeks tomorrow. I’m just worried it’s not there anymore 😭❤️

Placenta previa?

Hello! I’m 11 weeks pregnant with my second baby and the doctor said I have placenta previa but not to worry yet cause there’s a good chance it will move. She put me on mild pelvic rest and I go get another ultrasound in a month to check it out. Has anybody had this?
