4wks pregnant, anxious and paranoid

You've possibly seen past post of mine recently and I do apologise but I am extremely anxious, although I am trying not to be as I know it won't help my situation (not that I see pregnancy as a situation, just a term of words lol).
Anyway, I have calculated I am 4wks pregnant today. Had all positive symptoms, nothing major though and, wait for it...... 19 BFP, yes 19. Now I know it may be hard to understand when I say I'm not obsessed, I just like to test morning and night, I have no idea why but it keeps me less stressed and anxious. I am worried about maybe my period coming in the next day or two and this being another miscarriage or chemical pregnancy. I miscarried last summer and I was gutted. We haven't been all out TTC but we have been taking the no contraception route and just seeing if it happens. I didn't want all the stress of working out most fertile dates etc. I have 3 children who my partner has taken in as his own 3yrs ago and we have said for about 18mths that it would be nice to complete our lovely family with one more little cherub.
Is anyone else in the same boat. I am taking things easy and remaining calm but obviously that dreaded thought is in the back of my mind. Once I hit 6-8wks I think I will feel Alot better but as we all know, in pregnancy each day seems like a month when counting them.
Just looking for some reassurance and maybe someone to talk to. My partner is awesome but it isn't the same as talking to another expectant mummy xxx

Hi!

I am nearing 6 weeks and, although I am very fortunate and have never had an MC, I am being as anxious as you.

I have found talking to other mothers has helped, as they have managed to reassure me that what I am feeling is indeed normal.

I have no real advice for you as I really have no idea myself what I am doing, but I didn't want to read and run. Just know that you are not alone, I am trying really hard to remain positive and enjoy any time I have with little bean.

My fingers are crossed for you! Xx

Thankyou for your reply. Yes, just talking to other mummies or expectant mummies always helps. Our partners could be the greatest in the world but they never quite understand totally how we feel as a woman, let alone a pregnant woman. All the best with your pregnancy, I'm sure everything will be fine xxx
