Can't stop panicking

I'm 8 weeks today and experienced some spotting yesterday and today along with strong twinges in my lower left abdomen. I had some strong bleeding a couple of weeks ago but everything turned out ok in the scan. Now I'm right back into stressing and panicking . I'm so worried - why am I bleeding? Is this really normal? I have another scan in a week but now terrified there will be no heartbeat.
My one positive thought is that I'm still feeling very sick - thats a good sign isn't it?
I had a missed miscarriage 3 months ago so finding it really hard to relax, and it just seems so unfair that I'm getting these things to worry about.

Hi there. I've been frantically googling, and some bleeding seems to be fairly common. I'm in a similar situation - I'm 6+5 and had a bleed and cramping overnight. It seems to be easing now though. I've had one scan already and everything was fine with a teeny tiny heartbeat. I have a second scan next week.

I had a mmc last year so I am not finding early pregnancy easy at all. This pregnancy is the result of my 4th round of ivf. We have been ttc for over 3 years and I am not sure how much more assisted conception I can hack. It takes such an emotional and physical toll. So I feel like there is a lot riding on this.

I had pretty much what you described and I am sat looking at my 3 week old ds sleeping so it was all fine. It was very scary at the time though and I worried until I had a scan a few days later.

I had a bleed and cramping at 7 weeks and literally ran to the hospital. I wanted a baby for so long but due to complications I was told I couldnt. they told me it was an implantation bleed and all was fine but that didn't stop me worrying all throu my pregnancy! ! ds is nearly 8 now and now I worry about other things!!!
