Help me!

[FuckMyUterus]

Okay obviously not an AIBU, and I'll be seeing my GP today, but talk me down as I'm a complete hypochondriac. I haven't slept for 3 nights now with the pain I've been in.
I'm 7 weeks pregnant, and I have a CONSTANT pain in my lower stomach and lower back, like a 'full' feeling. Pain is worse when I lie down but almost non existent when I stand up. I also have a lot of rectal pressure. No bleeding, no sharp cramps. Someone please come along and tell me I'm not having an ectopic pregnancy, that this is all normal and I'm being a wuss. Please, please pleeeease 😭

When I had similar symptoms at 6 weeks it turned out to be a UTI. Which surprised me as it didn’t burn to pee of anything! Good luck today

Oh really? I never thought of a UTI, I don't have a fever or anything... Suppose the GP will test for that whilst I'm there.

No I didn’t either, I was really surprised it was a UTI. I imagine the first thing the dr will do is test your urine. Try not to worry. Let us know how it goes!

I'd suggest a UTI too. Good luck with the gp.

Yes I was thinking UTI too especially the full feeling. However you're doing the right thing seeing the GP

You've both made me cry with relief. I blame the hormones! Thanks for the responses.

I've had an ectopic at 7 weeks and the pain was so severe I couldn't even sit down at all. I had to stand up or kneel on my knees. I also bled a lot. Sounds like a uti
Are you constipated?
Have you had too much bread?

ohlala I'm sorry you went through that, the pain is obviously not that severe, and the only reason my mind keeps jumping to that is I had a few early losses last year and so I have severe health anxiety about this one, like 'why SHOULDN'T anything go wrong?'
I'm not constipated, I have really severe diarrhoea several times a day, and don't really eat a fat lot of bread either.

Aw just relax and try to think positive thoughts.
There is no reason why it shouldn't be ok either! Wishing you luck

Update: I have a UTI that's backed up to my kidneys, and am on a weeks course of antibiotics! Thanks for talking me down earlier 😂

Hope you feel better soon

Also it's completely normal to worry after losses, I didn't accept dd was actually coming along til almost 30 weeks gone, I was convinced I'd lose her too. One day I was just like shit, I'm pregnant and I've only 10 weeks left. I drove my best friend crazy as I just wouldn't prepare for baby's arrival she turned up at 39 weeks with a ready packed maternity bag, I love her

Thanks trujay I've been in so much pain for the last 3 days, and I've barely slept so I think my post this morning was a delirious overreaction

This the only time I'll ever say yay to the uti lol! Keep us updated, I hope it all goes well x

Good luck with getting it cleared up and the pregnancy. hope you feel better soon/

Thanks guys 😊 still in a lot of pain but seems to be easing slowly! AIBU isn't always a horrible place!
