Freaking out: hand holding, please.

[BuntyCollocks]

Going to preface this by saying I know I'm being stupid, but I need hand holding, and DH is sick of my paranoia. I've had awful nausea since 7dpo(!), which is now easing. I am so worried it means something is going wrong.

I have no reason to think this, other than paranoia that we can't be so lucky as to have gotten pregnant with dc2 so quickly (ttc 2 months) and not have something go wrong. DC1's early pregnancy was riddled with bleeding scares, and was termed as threatened miscarriage at one point.

I've had no bleeding, some cramps which I know are normal, but are still freaking me out, and the nausea which is not as strong or constant. I'm 4+5, so very early days.

Have an early scan booked for 7+4, but am terrified there will be nothing there.

Slap/hand holding, please.

The first few weeks are horrible aren't they! Try not to look for things, focus on the positives - you're pregnant and you've had no bleeding.

It could (very, very unlikely) be a sign something was amiss if all your symptoms stopped SUDDENLY but you have said nausea is easing - somedays are going to be better than others, it will more than likely come back.

Do you have any other symptoms you can focus on? Sore boobs? Increased CM? U bet if you think about it there are other signs that you are pregnant. Oh, and the cramps are a good sign because it means your little embryo is implanting just nicely

It's very hard not to think of the worst isn't it? But you need to remind yourself that yes, you may have had scares in the last pregnancy, but you didn't actually have a MC. it's unlikely that things will go wrong in this one either. A lot of women don't even have nausea this early on so I certainly wouldn't be worrying if it seems to be reducing - it'll probably be back with a vengeance soon enough

Hi bunty I'm 4+8 and I've been having quite bad cramps too, actually have been a bit better last two days so fingers crossed they ease a bit for u as well! That's the only symptom I've had, a teeny bit of nausea and I appear to have gone off chocolate! These weeks b4 scan are horrid, not many people know and it's when u need the reassurance most, your body is very busy and creating something amazing so try and relax as much as possible [an unmnetty hug!]

Thank you, all. I definitely have increased cm - constantly on knicker watch as I'm convinced it's bleeding it's so much !

Boobs can be a bit tender, too, and chronic constipation. I do feel better, thank you for being so lovely.
