Fear of miscarriage - handhold, please?

[stitchwitch84]

Hi all,

After a miscarriage in Nov and a very early pregnancy loss in Feb, I am now 4 weeks pregnant again. Hurrah!

Except that I'm terrified! I'm worrying that at any minute AF will come along and it'll all be over again. I'm taking things day by day and afraid to get excited, and I'm afraid that every symptom is a sign of impending pregnancy loss.

Would anyone mind holding my hand through the next couple of weeks, please?!

Last time (both times) I had dreadful nausea from the get go, plus sensitivity to smell. This time round I'm not nauseous at all (yet) but I am completely exhausted - as in, falling asleep almost as soon as I sit down on a comfortable chair (or lean against DH) sort of exhausted. I know it's normal, but…is it normal?!

I've got funny feelings and sensations in my belly. I keep telling myself it's the whole ligaments stretching thing (Though why they need to stretch when the baby is a few cells big is rather puzzling to me!). But what if it isn't? Is it normal??

And I have an upset tummy. I get these at times of stress, so it isn't surprising, but…

Sorry, I'm an absolute wittering wreck atm. DH and I want this baby so badly, and I'm so frightened about losing another pregnancy…really I need to make like a pair of curtains and pull myself together!

TIA xx

Hi @AstroKate I went to the EPU today for pain, I'm also 5+ and they wouldn't scan me. They've taken my bloods and said if it's over 1500 they will but usually don't scan until 6 weeks. Also I have a milky discharge, she did an internal examination and said it's on my cervix but completely normal in early pregnancy

*5+4

Thanks @DaisyMay25. Good luck with your progress!

I thought it was probably too early to go to EPU but think I'm going to find it so difficult to wait another week.

I guess having a scan won't make any difference to what may or may not happen so just need to relax!

Good to know milky discharge not unusual-I'm just so concerned it doesn't turn brown to red like before...

Hi ladies, how are we all doing?

My spotting has continued and it's exactly the same as my mc November so I've decided to go to our EPU on Friday for a scan. I should be 6+3 then so hoping to either get some reassurance or at least know where I'm at.

I've not been sleeping and I think I just need putting out of my misery!

Hope everyone else is continuing well?
