4 weeks pregnant, convinced im going to miscarry.

[Rileysmummy11]

hi im 4 weeks pregnant and im convinced im going to miscarry, iv got no reason to think that as i have never had a miscarriage before and have a very healthy 2 year old. iv been going to the toilet every half an hour to check im not bleeding and its driving me crazy. is it normal to feel this anxious? im also worrying about everything i eat and drink and i wont have sex with my partner as im scared of something happening, i wasnt like this with my first.

The worry is natural.
One thing to remember is bar extreme things like class a drug use, it is extremely rare for miscarriage to be "caused" by things you do/don't do. So if you follow nhs food rules that's ok and you can have sex.
Sadly 15% of pregnancies dont work out ... but those are usually due to genetic flaws in the egg or sperm and random. Plus 85% DO work just fine. :)

Pregnancy is always both an exciting and worrying time- worrying is natural and shows you care. You do what's best for you during pregnancy even if that is watching what you eat etc. I know it's hard but try not to stress too much you will only make yourself feel worse. I know you can request an early scan, I have done before due to spotting- but I'm not sure how it works, whether you need a general sort of health reason e.g. Spotting or pain etc. you could always try though at a later date. At the moment as you most likely know, they may not be able to see anything on the scan and will recommend that you wait a couple of weeks. I hope your pregnancy goes well for you x
