Back story is I've had an ectopic and a miscarriage at 7 weeks since January when we started trying for a baby. I got pregnant straight after the miscarriage and I'm currently 6+1.
I've been having central abdominal pain of varying intensity and last week I was in and out of hospital for several days until I was far enough along for a scan to check it wasn't another ectopic, bloods looked good but they couldn't be certain because i was in so much pain still.
The pain feels like period pains but they get so bad that I've been on the floor screaming which is what made my husband take me to hospital.
We now know it's not ectopic, it's in a healthy place and looking good for this stage. I'm still getting the pain but basically I've been told I need to relax because I'm making it worse by being anxious.
I've been given some codine but I only take it when the pain is awful and it works but I would like to be able to relax enough for it to go away by itself.
Even though it's not ectopic I still can't relax because this is what happened with my miscarriage, they told me I was safe from ectopic and then I lost it anyway.
It's all piling up, I'm stressed because work sent me home as my job is too dangerous and I only just started there. I want to bond with the baby but I don't want to get my hopes up in case it fails again.
On top of this the consultant told me not to worry she knew a lady that had 10 miscarriages and then 3 healthy babies....that does not make me feel better. I know I've not had it as bad as some but no one wants to go through that!
Does anyone have any advice on how to reduce stress at all?
I'm worried I'm affecting the baby and the pain is horrible. I know pregnancy is uncomfortable but this is excruciating and I'm only 6 weeks in!
