Anyone had a feeling something bad would happen and you've been fine?

[ArlaxA]

I am 5 weeks pregnant with my third child, I've never had a miscarriage fortunately. I am currently experiencing no bleeding but I'm having the occasional cramping (nothing major) sore boobs, mild nausea and extreme fatigue. I took pregnancy tests from 10dpo to 14dpo and line got darker, haven't taken any since.

I consider myself very intune with my body, I knew when I would go in to labour, I knew the sex of my babies as soon as I was pregnant and I knew I was pregnant a few days after conception with this one (sounds silly I know) but I just felt like I "knew".

My sister's had about 5 miscarriages and 2 successful pregnancies. I remember she told me she was pregnant when she had just found out and she told me she just "felt something bad would happen" I remember her saying that to me and thinking she was worrying for nothing. At her 12 weeks scan, baby didn't have a heart beat and she had to go in for a d&c. I remember thinking I couldn't believe that she just knew.

I just have a feeling that I can't shake and it's affecting my mental health and my days. Everytime I go to the toilet I check for blood, I worry about every little niggle and I just feel like I can't be excited or plan this pregnancy because I don't want to get too attached. I had a dream I was bleeding lastnight.

Has anyone else had these thoughts and turned out to be ok and had a healthy baby?

I had this feeling in all of my pregnancies - three miscarriages and a healthy pregnancy resulting in my very healthy five month old. I was convinced that I clearly just knew after I was right about the first three, but I didn't. Lots and lots of people with healthy pregnancies are highly anxious, especially in the first trimester - and, sadly, lots of people are sailing through completely confident that they'll have a baby until they have a miscarriage. It isn't true that you'll know.

In both pregnancies. Especially in my second as my first birth was very traumatic and I was so out of it when he was delivered, I thought my baby was dead and they were giving me a doll. I also thought I was in tune with my body, I went and got the waterproof cloth 10 minutes before my waters broke with dc1 and I knew he was stuck long before they listened to me. Same with knowing I was pregnant both times.

I have a 3 year old singing "jingle bell rock" and a 6 month old asleep on the sofa.

I was like this OP. Made sure I wore light coloured knickers so I knew whether I'd bled or not and even took pregnancy tests every single day till my first scan.
Luckily everything went fine and I have an 18 month old sat beside me. Easier said than done but try to enjoy it and best of luck

I was fairly relaxed throughout my pregnancy and was a bit naive I that I thought I'd just have a completely textbook pregnancy and labour and it would all be hunky dory. However I did have the feeling that I didn't want to celebrate or get excited too early in case something went wrong. This is why I didn't want a baby shower - I couldn't get my head around celebrating baby when he wasn't here safe and sound yet as I was aware something could go wrong. We suffered shoulder dystocia during labour which resulting in him being born not breathing and spending 9 days in NICU. But he is happy and healthy now.
