I am new to the pregnancy world. 8 weeks this Thursday.
I had severe nausea at the end of September and as i had HCG tests in the house i took one to prove to myself everything was fine. Blazing purple second line. Fabulous! Moving on by a week i woke up and had absolutely no nausea and tonnes of energy..... At first i thought brilliant and then the worry set in... I took another HCG that night and found it was significantly fainter. Left it to the morning and it was the same. I got myself into such a state i was crying all day in work to the point i was throwing up. I booked an early scan and went Sunday there and the Sonographer said everything looked fine to her. I am still not convinced. I'm so scared of losing this little one.
I have no symptoms of sickness or anything any more which most would find a relief but its terrifying me.
My midwife asked me to do another test but i'm too scared to do it incase it sets me off again. Am i being ridiculous?

Not to mince words, yes you are. There's no indication that anything's wrong. You can't live like this for the next seven months, and all this stress won't do the baby any good. Calm down and take it easy. Smile

Try not to worry. If the sonographer says everything is fine then it will be. Pregnancy symptoms to come and go, it's very normal. Do you have support from a partner? Family member?

Hi op
I'm 9+5 today
Congrats
I've had very bad sickness and around 8 weeks it calmed down for about 5 days
I had a scan at 6 due to previous eptopic and thankfully everything was as it should!
Although we can't stop our self from worrying because when my sickness died down I took straight to google to find out after a heart beat has been detected on a scan, the chance of miscarriage falls down to about 3% which is pretty low!
But believe me sickness has kicked it self back up and running and I can't stay awake past 9pm towards a usual 12ish

Take this few days break and relax because I assure you it will start again soon
Try not to worry it's not good for baby!
Hope this helps op Thanks

I know it's hard not to worry but you just need to calm down, I felt the same when around 8 weeks pregnant i felt absolutely fine for a few days, no sickness or anything and i was a bit worried but then my symptoms came back worse than ever lol, i'm now 15 weeks 3 days and some days I'm so sick, other days i'm not sick but suffer from nausea and some days i feel fine. On the good days enjoy it cause its not long till the sicknes comes back x
