Hi everyone! Never posted on these things before but just looking for some advice ! I'm 28 and I grew up in care so don't have a mum to turn too!
Me and my boyfriend have been trying for a baby, I was four weeks pregnant in feb but then lost the baby on Valentine's Day. Confirmed miscarriage followed by negative test also. Was so sad . U had two other miscarriages when I was a lot younger so started to wonder if this will ever happen for me!
So this month felt a bit weird , bloating and felt a bit sick and absolutely exhausted not had a period after miscarriage yet, but just thought I'd test just in case . We did say we wanted to try again but didn't expect it to happen this quickly! Took a test and it's positive ! Checked to see how far along I'd be and apparently I'm around 3 weeks 5 days ! Too nervous to tell boyfriend incase I miscarry early again I don't want to put him. Through that. Do I call doctor ? Heard they don't see you this early anyway .. I feel like it's a very nerve wracking waiting game I feel myself looking for bleeding every time I go to the toilet! I'm cramping but just kinda like period cramps , bloated and shattered ! Trying to not get excited as had three miscarriages but maybe I'll be lucky this time?!
Thanks for reading of you got this far!

Congratulations OP. I've had miscarriages so understand the nervousness. Just try and focus on the now. You're pregnant right now. I urge you to share the news with your partner, he can be there for you and support you through it. It's a lot to handle on your own however it plays out.

It wouldn't hurt to speak to your Gp but it's unlikely they will do anything at this stage unless you are seeing them about recurrent miscarriages. Start taking your folic acid.

Good luck.

Congratulations. Normally they tell you to call around 6 weeks to self refer and then you won't get contact from a midwife normally until at least 8 weeks. They especially don't advise contacting before your period is due.(from experience)

Make sure you're taking folic acid and vitamin D

Thank you, I'll contact them in a couple of weeks and go from there . Trying to not be nervous but it's so hard !
