Anyone just got a BFP and feeling anxious?

[GirlCroosh]

Got a positive pregnancy test yesterday

Was over the moon yesterday. But now the anxiety is hitting. Every time I go to the toilet checking for blood, obsessively checking checking my symptoms, running through possible things that could go wrong.

I've got a 2.5 yo DD and had a missed miscarriage earlier this year. I was anxious the whole pregnancy with my DD. Thankfully I was less anxious with the one I lost, but because of how that pregnancy ended, the anxiety is back this time.

Is anyone else feeling the same or have any pregnancy anxiety coping tips??

@Tryingtochillax I know what you mean about time dragging so much. It's awful. Wishing you loads of luck with this one, keep positive (so much easier said than done). I've heard some cramps are normal. Every twinge - I freak out though! I'm sure yours are just normal, I hope so much that it all goes well at your scan. I'm only week 4 - I will go crazy before week 7! Xxxx

@GirlCroosh that's reassuring thank you. You're doing really well, much more chilled than me. Roll on 12 weeks!

@buntingandstarcharts thank you! I'll update on here after my scan, just hope time speeds up a little! Haha you'll get through it, you never know you might start to relax as time goes by....here's hoping anyway xxx

@sprinkleofsunshine yes the more I read the more reassured I am that lots of other women are just as apprehensive as me and like you say particularly those that have had previous losses. Keep us posted on your progress and vice versa xx

@GirlCroosh I was the same! I haven't even been pregnant before so my anxiety was ridiculous! I looked at this website which has miscarriage chance percentages and it goes down every single day! This made it easier in my head to tick off mentally every day. And also I just imagined reaching the next week as a milestone. Also, I decided I couldn't spend the next months being unhappy and obsessively sad, what will be will be, and every toilet trip with no blood = celebrations! Xxxxxx good luck xxxzz

I’m really nervous because this is my first BFP and I did have some substantial cramping and then spotting. I haven’t had a full AF so I don’t know if I’m out or not. We’re just waiting to see what happens really.

@buntingandstarcharts what website did you look at?

I do the same count every week as a milestone. On the first of every milestone I read the updates about what will happen that week to the baby. So on Thursday I will be 6weeks and I won't let myself read it before then. It's like a little well done keep going ha.

@sprinkleofsunshine this is the website datayze.com/miscarriage-chart.php?mode=table every single day the chances go down x

Do anyone else's symptoms come and go? My boobs were soooo sore and now less? Panicking x

Hi all, I got my BFP yesterday at 2 days late, I must be between 4-5 weeks gone. Had 2 consecutive M/C (one at 5 weeks which was spontaneous and the other at 9+3 which was MMC). Pretty nervous but actually quite surprised at how calm I’ve been. I’ve taken the one test and usually I’d have taken at least 3-4 by now!! Been having sore boobs and even a bit of nausea already. Very crampy though but from what I can remember of my successful pregnancy 5 years ago, that’s normal!

Congratulations @nonnatushouse and sorry to hear about your previous pregnancies. Yes heard cramping is normal also so fx all good signs

@buntingandstarcharts symptoms definitely fluctuate!

Can i join?Af due today, tested and i think its positive isn’t it? The faint line came up quite quickly. Makes me almost 4 weeks.i already have kids, but had a post 12 week mc, even after the scan, so im just dreading the next few months. The mc has taken any joy out of the experience. On the plus side, i have a very busy time ahead so at least it will keepe busyx

Looks like a positive to me @Ithinkthatsenough congratulations!! And sorry to hear about your previous mc and so late
