8.5 weeks and always have a worry something will go wrong. Is this normal

So as in title 8.5 weeks. Have had two scans which showed a HB. Which put meat ease. However keep getting cramps which I'm sure are normal? With lower back ache. When I tell dp he says shh you'll worry me., not in a horrible way at all but he wants this so bad too. So I turn to Google. . Not good! I have 4 weeks u till dating scan and it's dragging.
I also feel mega bad that I havent eaten much fruit and veg as I normally do.. Simply because it makes me sick.. I've been drinking lots of fresh juice tho as some reason that seems to stay down. I'm eating plenty of other stuff ( Altho too many chips which I used to rarely eat)
I'm very active, not in a gym kinda way but my job is full on, I'm always on the go with my sons activities, etc etc. But also making sure I nap if tired and have had a few long lie ins...i.e midday lol.
I just can't seem to get the niggle out of my head. I'm very organised and have lists for what we need to get and am dying to get it all ASAP which obviously I won't till after scan. I'm so all over then place. Anyone else like that?

Were you like this in earlier pg? (You say you have a son). Have you had anything specific to worry you, a mc or some bleeding perhaps?
I worried a lot when pg due to rmcs, and just generally being a worrier. It made life very hard though. You hear of people having ante natal anxiety. Perhaps when you have the dating scan you can relax a bit. As you say you've seen a heartbeat, you probably know your chances ignore a successful pg greatly increase after that.

No no worries. My son is a pre teen now and tbh I didn't use much Internet to see the stories people go tho, now I suppose it's more shared etc and you see what could happen. I have previously suffered with anxiety in general so maybe it's linked.
Have had no bleeding or anything to cause the worry.
I think some of it it's the plain simple too good to be true.. I'd always wanted another but after a DV relationship and another which was more of a friendship I never dreamed I'd meet someone and fall in love and we want the same things in life. I now have a beautiful step DC too and things are going so well I just can't help feeling like it will get snatched away. I have gp anyway so may mention how I feel

Stop googling things for a start, I think I've googled literally one thing over two pregnancies and that was when I got hives a few weeks ago for no reason. Googling never helps!

I'm only 5+4 so not as far along but know how you feel. We were TTC for a year and I had just been given Clomid so it all feels too good to be true that I got a bfp without it and so I can't quite accept that it might be all work out okay.

I'm 21+2 and am still worrying despite feeling our little boy kicking every day!
I wish I had a solution x

Mine was first round d of clomid after 18m ttc it just seems surreal!
