6 Weeks and Anxiety through the roof.

[RainbowSoph35]

Hi All.
Me again.
Im starting to feel like a serial poster but its so difficult when nobody knows your expecting.
Currently 6 weeks today after 2 miscarriages in the last 10 months. 1st at 5weeks and 2nd at 7weeks.
My anxiety is sky high. I just cant relax, if i get cramps im worried something is wrong but if i feel normal im worried something is wrong. I dont have many symptoms, just sore boobs but im on 400mg of progesterone a day so im also worried thats whats causing the sore boobs 🙈
Ive been getting a dull ache in the right side of my groin that radiates into my leg and i have read this is quite normal but then the irrational side of me kicks in and im worried about ectopic.
I have an early scan on Wednesday when i will be 6+1.
Please tell me i am not the only 1 driving themselves crazy ??🙈
Anyone got any tips to just calm down..
Sorry for the long post xx

sorry 6+5

Congrats on your rainbow baby

Posted too soon,
What your saying sounds perfectly normal to me op.
I had two losses also before I had my DS and anxiety was through the roof also.
I had no symptoms until 7 weeks and even then they only lasted until 11w.
Great news your having a scan.
All I can say is take each day as it comes, you have a lot going on in your body right now and some aches and pulling are normal.
I tried to distract my mind until I had 7 week scan, easier said than done I know.

Hey @RainbowSoph35 I was similar at the beginning of this year, I had two early losses and was pregnant again. I was so anxious and really struggled. The only things that helped me were accepting that it was normal to be anxious and I made a pregnancy diary and counted off every day (initially every 1/4 day). It helped me to feel further on. Good luck with your scan.

I also had no early symptoms

Just a reminder that not telling anyone until 12 weeks is a personal choice and not a rule or even a guideline.
There is no reason to not tell a few friends/ family members your news, explaining that the traditional excitement isn't there for you due to past experience but that you will benefit from having people you can talk to about how you are feeling.

Hi there, just to give you some hope. I had two miscarriages both at exactly 12 weeks. And I had both miscarriages this year during covid. Thankfully I'm pregnant again & on progesterone too and so far it's going well.

I personally think it's the progesterone that's giving you all the exaggerated symptoms because I suddenly had all these new symptoms with my current pregnancy compared to my miscarriages.

@RainbowSoph35 let's hang in there. The anxiety is crippling for me but when we've got the right medication, we're under the best care 💕

@Cocomade
Thanks so much for your message.
Im trying my best to take each day as it comes like you say. Hopefully i will feel a bit better after the scan.
I think not knowing what is normal is the worry.

@Elllicam
Thanks for your reply. Sorry for your losses.
That sounds like a good idea thankyou.

@Olafthemoth
Thanks for your reply.
Yes i guess everybody feels differently on it.
We didnt tell anybody about our losses and i dont feel like i want to tell anybody this time incase its bad news and then i have to tell them. I know that means i dont really have anyone to talk to in person. But at least i have you lovely lot.

@haidri
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for your losses. Congratulations on your BFP.
Its so difficult isnt it. Not knowing what is normal and whats not. My mind is in overdrive.
How are you feeling?

@RainbowSoph35 I was initially nervous but now I've passed 12 weeks, my gut instinct tells me it was the progesterone & Aspirin that made brought me this far.

As much as I'm anxious at every time I wipe, I'm slowly learning to love myself & give this baby a chance.

I'm hopeful for you! 🥰

I have no tips but wanted to send you some encouragement. I am cuddled on the sofa with my newborn rainbow baby. Hold onto hope.

@haidri
Aww i hope i am the same after 12weeks.
Congratulations on how far you have come.
I too am taking Asprin with the progesterone so fingers crossed. Thanks so much 💐

I am also constantly anxious. I will be 8 weeks on Sunday and have an early private scan booked for reassurance, but sometimes the thought of the scan makes me more anxious! You aren't alone x

@Flittingaboutagain
Oh thankyou so much and Congratulations on your rainbow baby 💐🌈

@princess4747
Thanks for you reply.
Congratulations on your BFP.
Yes i know what you mean. I want to scan for reassurance but absolutely terrified incase its not good news.
Who knew pregnancy was so complicated.
Wishing you lots of luck with your scan. X
