Misscarriage worry

[taylz12]

Hi,

I'm 4 weeks pregnant, Im experiencing on and off cramping in my lower stomach and back (very similar to period pain) and I've spoken about this in a previous post.

I've had 2 misscarriages previously and I am a WRECK. I am petrified that this pregnancy will end in miscarriage. I've found myself obsessed with it.

I'm so scared, I can't celebrate being pregnant I can't even think positive thoughts right now because as soon as I do I'll get a niggle or a cramp and it'll remind me of my fears.

I'm considering counselling.

Has anybody experienced something similar?
Any success stories?

I'm so so worried. X

Bless your heart I totally get your worry and it's out of your control isn't it. If I were you (and I've been there a few times) I'd take a warm bath with a paracetamol and rest rest rest. I know it's the impossible but try not to worry. It is totally out of your control - rest is paramount. Take a test in a few weeks, it's really early days xxx

Understand how your feeling. I am also 4 weeks pregnant today and also have cramps etc but trying to push all negative thoughts to the back of my head after having MC march this year.

We need to take each day as it comes and just enjoy being pregnant at the moment. Easier said then done I know but try not stress and relax as much as possible

I've experienced both a full term pregnancy and a miscarriage - and the cramping I experienced with the successful pregnancy was actually far worse! Yes, cramping can be a sign of problems, but it can also be totally normal - try not to worry.

Had painfull cramps from week 4 to 8, now I’m 17 weeks. Everything is stretching inside so I wouldn’t worry. When I miscarried before my cramps where nowhere near as bad. Try to stay positive

I had very bad cramping from about 4 weeks to 8 weeks.... It's got way better, just get stretching pains now I feel at night when in bed.

I had cramping with my pregnancy I’m now 21 weeks and a small bleed at 7 weeks. Had a scan epau and the could see it, but was away from the baby.
I had a miscarriage in October last year and had no cramping or bleeding until after we found out I has miscarried. So I have decided sometime actually having a little bit of pain, means it is bedding in.
But we are all different.
I hope you are ok.

Cramping is pretty normal, I had it up until about seven weeks. Fingers crossed for you OP.

@taylz12 I'm in a similar boat - 5 weeks and getting cramps. They come and go. It's partly bowel related I think but others are more like AF pains. I have a DS but I can't recall the early symptoms probably because my 3 MCs occurred after him so I didn't think about losing DS back then. Now every loo trip and every niggle causes a panic.

I had a small amount of bleeding last week - just for a few hours. I didn't get IB with DS. I contacted GP and have been referred for HCG tests tomorrow. Presumably since I've had 3 MCs. If you're cramps get painful or you have any spotting then contact your gp. I'm pretty sure all this is normal and we will be fine but I wanted you to know you are not alone with the anxiety.
