Hi, just want to talk to people to try and make myself feel abit better. I am 5 weeks pregnant and am petrified I am going to have a miscarriage or have an etopic. I have had 1 missed miscarriage at 12 weeks and 2 miscarriages at 5 weeks. I have one daughter who is 4 and I was so I'll with hyperemisis with her. I am now 5 weeks again and am so scared its all I think about. And I have heard u usually get hyperemisis with all ur pregnancy but I only have had slight nausea with this one and now scared its a bad sign that this pregnancy is going to fail. I am a huge worrier and suffer from anxiety. Just don't know wat to do with myself. My boobs r sore and have grown I'm always going to the toliet so so tired aswell but have this throbbing pain on one side of my abdomen tonight which is my head means it could be etopic

Hi all,
Can i join the worried mummy? I think I'm 5 weeks pregant, 1DD but had miscarriage in feb... found out at the 12 weeks scan. that it had stopped at 7 weeks..not fun ;-)
anyway, pregnancy test still a bit weak( 2nd line) so I'm taking one day at a time... will retest sat morning...
I also have backacke and tummy pain so I keep on thinking, ok must be my period...I will definitively not say anything to anybody this time and wait for 12 weeks scan... I'm hoping to try to get an early one but I'm thinking of paying for a private one around 9 weeks just to check all ok...
Anyway, good luck to you all and keep calm and carry on ;-))

katesav87 · 05/10/2012 12:39

Orange one let us know how u get on today xxx

Hi Ladies.
Had scan today and they found pregnancy sac and yolk but no fetal pole and heartbeat. My dates could be wrong (think I am 5+6) or this is an non-viable pregnancy. They want me back in the EPAU for another scan in 7 days time when we should know for sure.
Really hoped we would see a heartbeat or fetal pole today. Am gutted. Know I should remain positive but finding it hard as been here so many times before. Anyone out there had similar? Need some positive stories right now...... This is going to be a very long 7 days. :-(

scaredmummy2B · 05/10/2012 14:48

Sorry but that happened to me orange and then sent me back 7 days later for 4 weeks never found a heartbeat and ended up having a d&c thats why I don't want an early scan coz I've heard other stories of no heartbeat until 9 weeks so fingers crossed hun xx

Liny welcome hun, your story is very similar to mine I have 1dd and have had 2 mc's since xmas day I am now 5 weeks pregnant and absolutly scared out of my wit I also have tummy pain and back pain like period but no bleeding this is normal when newly pregnant around the time you should have had your period stronger in some pregnancys than others! A lot Mohe noticeable in your 2nd, 3rd pregnancy!
I'd def recommend you to do a clear blue digital test its more assuring than a faint line. you get a pregnant word upto 4 days before your period is due good luck this thread and others are very supportive x

scaredmummy2B · 05/10/2012 14:49

Oh Kate thanks for your kind words I'm going to try get to 8 weeks then book a scan x hope your ok today x

katesav87 · 05/10/2012 16:59

Hi orange one stay postive my friend had this she went when she was 5 weeks and no heartbeat so went back in 2 weeks and there was the heartbeat she's now 20 weeks. Just cos I've seen a heartbeat dosent mean I will carry untill 12 weeks :-( so keep postive and I will try to. I've heard loads of stories of it being to early!!! My friend at work also had the same as my friend xxxxx

Didn't make it to a scan mc today :-(

orangeone · 08/10/2012 20:35

Oh ScaredMummy I am sooooo sorry to hear your news. My heart goes out to you as I've been where you have been so many times before and fear I am heading that way again very soon. Please rest up as mug as you can and get checked out at the dr if only to register another MC so it counts for a referral to a recurrent mc clinic if God forbid you ever need to go down that route.
Once again I am so sorry to hear your news. You are in my thoughts tonight. Orange x

katesav87 · 09/10/2012 17:39

Oh my god orange I am so so sorry to hear this!!! It's just not fair that u have to go through this again. I am thinking of u and hope that u will have some joy soon. Make sure u get to the docters and don't give up hope. I know how it feels and I can only imagine wat u are going through right now xxxxx

So sorry I ment scared mummy i wasn't thinking straight xxx

forgetmenots · 09/10/2012 18:15

I've never had a MC so I can't imagine what you are going through, but have basically had such trouble falling pregnant that I am terrified of every wee twinge :( I wish there was some kid of service where we could get checked without feeling like such a nuisance! May end up trying to pay for an early scan too.

forgetmenots · 09/10/2012 18:17

So sorry scared mummy xxx

scaredmummy2B · 09/10/2012 19:11

Thanks everyone been to the ward today to get checked out and I'm booked into epu for a scan Friday to see what's going on but the gyny doctor seems to think it may just be a bleed in early pregnancy as I've had no clots but were not that optimistic going my our bad luck so I'd rather just think the worst and be prepared and then I'll be over the moon if anything different x

forgetmenots · 09/10/2012 22:51

Fingers are firmly crossed for you here. Good to hear they are being thorough.

liny · 10/10/2012 07:41

Scared mummy I know how you feel, I'm bleeding as well today.... not feeling too hopeful to be honest.... really pissed of ;-(( I'll go and see doctor just at least to register a MC..I seem to recall they do not look into it before you have done 3...it took us 7 months before I fell pregnant so it is just frustrating...anyway.. not sure what else I can do. I do not seem to have any cramping but I guess it it just an early MC. sorry to take the mood down...
