seriously stressing out 😔

[Pulledapart2015]

Recently found out I'm pregnant and I make it approx 7 weeks. im having terrible lower abdomen cramps, feel like my stomach is vibrating and horrendous lower back pain.
did not get a wink of sleep last night

Dr has referred me for an early scan as I have multiple health issue so am concerned the pregnancy won't survive. it's taken a whole year for us to conceive and this will be DC2 if all goes well.

every morning since I've found out I keep poas'ing to make sure I'm still pregnant. Im not sure I fully believe I am or I keep thinking I'm gonna lose it.

I keep fearing the worst. I've rang the hospital already to chase the scan date and they said they will send an appointment in the post in a few days. I know I'm being totally impatient but I feel so on edge.

I've started taking some pregnacare tablets so I get folic acid in me.

I just going to be a bag of worry until I get this scan done all I wanna do is cry at the minute 😭😭😭

oh just to say I'm approx 7 weeks according to my calculations (going by last period) but when I tested with clearblue it said 1-2 weeks which means 3-4 weeks.

I may have ovulated later so just thinking I may actually be only 5 weeks along. so.even if I get an early scan in the next few weeks what will they be seeing

If you get an early scan post-6 weeksish, then they should be able to see a heartbeat. Whilst they can scan you earlier there isn't much point - at 4wks they see nothing, 5 weeks is a foetal pole and egg sac. So although I know you're feeling impatient, there really isn't much point in chasing it to be earlier - it won't give you any more information!

Once you've had a scan and seen a heartbeat, your chances of a successful pregnancy increase dramatically - obviously it's not all guaranteed, but your chances of miscarriage do drop at that point.

Cramping without bleeding and general soreness isn't unusual - your body is already accommodating some of the first changes. The cycle I got pregnant with DD1 (after three miscarriages), I was so sore I was convinced my period was about to start and I didn't even bother testing until I was actually over-due - not like me when I'm TTC!

Good luck. Try and put it out of your head a little bit. Apart from a few lifestyle changes you don't need to do much at this point - and what will be will be, you can't change the outcome at all unfortunately, so there's no point stressing about it :)

thankyou LBOCS2. I make you right about it all. I think I'm just making myself worry as it's taken such a long time to conceive by my own timescale. I didn't worry at all the first time round so much so I didn't eve take any folic acid or vitamins. this time I feel so anxious. I think ur right what will be will be so no point worrying she says knowing she will continue worrying like an idiot

It's a stressful time. I had a private scan around 7 weeks which really helped my nerves

thanks miffyonline it really is.

I suffered a MC and now pregnant again had lots of cramping to the point it was making me sick it was that severe. Had a early scan and baby was all good 7weeks and 4days :) I no Its hard but try stay positive. Ever since my scan ive worried because my symptoms have disappeared but all us pregnant mums need to remember so much is happening in our bodys week by week :) congratulations to all mums to be
