Hi all,
New to Mumsnet and needed to reach out to someone so here goes.
I am currently 7+2 weeks pregnant, and I am in a constant state of freaking out! I can't seem to stop myself and my poor OH is going crazy listening to me. I had some light bleeding last week which resulted in a trip to A&E as I was so dizzy the room was spinning. Ultrasound showed pregnancy sac was in the right place but no heartbeat as it was too early. I have an early scan on the 18th to detect a heartbeat but I honestly cannot seem to get through a day without absolutely panicking the entire day that something has went wrong. I haven't had any morning sickness which is adding to the stress (tender boobs, irritable and lightheaded/exhausted though) - I'm struggling to get through a shift at work as I work 12.5 hours a day in a somewhat boring job and my mind runs away with itself spending hours in the office on google on miscarriage trackers, reading statistics and about blighted ovums/mmc etc. I even read stats on how having no morning sickness can mean miscarriage and I can't sleep with nerves now. Honestly part of me isn't sure what I'm looking for coming to this forum - maybe reassurance and to hear others experiences? We have opted to wait until 12 weeks to tell anyone and my OH works nightshift so I feel I really have nobody to talk to
- only my employer knows due to the A&E trip. This is my first pregnancy. I am in my mid 20's so the doctors say my age is on my side and I have no pre-existing health problems - only pregnancy related issue is being rhesus negative. I just can't seem to shake the feeling that there will be no heartbeat when we go next week to see and I have no idea why...
