As the title says, I am 7 weeks pregnant (today) and although I know to everybody experiences morning sickness/nausea etc. I am so worried there is something wrong. I have had a lot of positive tests but apart from being very tired and having a breakout of spots nothing else. Very early in the pregnancy I thought my sense of smell was very sensitive but this has gone away now. The only thing I have had is a lot of cramping, I get very painful periods and they are not as bad as those cramps but enough to stop me short and have to press my hand to my stomach to try to ease them a bit. At first I thought this was good, evidence of more bedding in, but I am worried about a missed miscarriage.
Even though it was against my better judgement we told my boyfriend's immediate family just before Christmas and this has worried me even more. His mother and sister-in-law asked me about sickness and said they had had it from the get-go. I feel so panicky at the thought there is something wrong with my baby, without symptoms I feel it is stupidly optimistic to let myself believe everything is ok and I will have a good outcome at the 12 week scan.
My booking appointment is on the 7th January and I feel like a fraud going along there when I do not feel pregnant. The last test I took was a very strong positive but then I googled that tests still show positive for a while after miscarriages or missed miscarriages. I feel very alone as I have nobody in real life I can talk to about this, my boyfriend is sure everything will be ok and I don't want to worry him as he is normally a worrier.
I am sorry for waffling on, I just needed to voice my worst fears I think.
