Early pregnancy worries!

First time pregnant and around 10 weeks now. Had an early private scan at 9 weeks but Sonographers said was more like 8 - this probably fits as have quite long cycles. Heard the heartbeat and saw a heartbeat also- said looked normal and fine for the stage.

Had my first midwife appointment which was all okay expect slightly (very) high platelets on bloods which doctor wasnt at all worried about just re testing next week.

I'm totally panicking basically all the time about miscarrying- have had a very small amount of spotting 3 times - literally tiny amounts and mainly after going to the toilet (too much info but have been really constipated- It's never for more than a minute and not heavy at all but I'm so paranoid.
I've previously had cervical ectropian which caused bleeding after sex and some other times too- this was treated just with being frozen and haven't had any signs since but was a couple of years ago- wondering if this could be the cause. Only having IBS pains really which I'm used to and no period type cramps or anything.

Is it normal to be this worried?!
My NHS scan is 11 days away.

It's completely normal! I had 2 private scans before my 12 week dating scan (8 & 10 weeks) and even after that I was still anxious about how things were progressing.

I started feeling a bit more relaxed after my 20 week anomoly scan. I'm 23+5 now and can feel my baby moving about a lot which provides a lot of reassurance.

Spotting in early pregnancy is fairly common and as long as it's not accompanied by any pain then I'm sure everything is fine x
