Paranoid about pregnancy loss.

Good evening everyone.
I found out I am expected DC#2 on Sunday, I'm only 4 weeks.
We were trying and I am so excited! But at the same time i am stressing myself out and worrying incase something bad happens. Which I know is silly because worrying won't help if something bad does happen, and it definitely don't help a healthy pregnancy, so logically I know I'm being an idiot.
But it's so hard to switch off, I have been diagnosed with high anxiety and low self esteem in the past, which I think is a contributing factor, but I think the majority of us probably worry anyways.
I've been having a bit of spotting (I had implantation bleeding and I'm still spotting), it is quite normal for me as I spotted all the way up until week 13 with DS.
We also got pregnant really fast (first cycle of ttc) and I feel like it's just too good to be true.
I check pregnancy loss statistics for my dates to see how much it has reduced since the day before.
Any body else constantly worrying and driving themselves mad?

Yep me! I googled all about ectopic, miscarriage, missed miscarriage convinced I was going through them all

I didn't with my second pregnancy, did a little with my third, and now I'm on the fourth (2nd and 3rd mc) and was convinced I was going to mc or had a mmc. Even after I saw a heart beat and little babe at almost 11weeks.
Still think it's too good to be true!
All you can do it take your mind off it!

Me, so much.

I've just posted a thread about stupidly doing a digital test that said I was 2-3 weeks when I should be much more. So now I'm convinced I've had a missed miscarriage.

So horribly anxious.

Also absolutely paranoid. Worrying every minute of the day- every twinge and every time i feel normal i worry I'm going to miscarry. First baby and only 5.5 weeks- 40 weeks feels like the longest time ever and so much time for sonething to go wrong. Don't think I could go through this again if the worst happened. I'm really rooting for you darling. Xx
