Please someone reassure me this is all normal 😩 I'm 5 weeks tomoro, got my bfp yesterday and confirmed today with another. I'm suffering with constant headaches, can't sleep more than 5 hours on a night and when I do sleep my dreams are horrendous (terrorist attacks and dead grandparent mad about my new pregnancy 😭) my youngest is almost 7 so I'm a bit out of touch with what pregnancy is like! Also uncontrollably sobbing one minute, fine the next. Someone please tell me they feel the same so I don't feel so alone!

Bump...now I've started to bleed lightly, is this the beginning of the end?

Both can be totally normal. It’s very common to bleed early on

I suffered from horrific insomnia from the day I got BFP (I was 5 weeks when I found out) and also very vivid dreams. I also cry at a lot of things. I watched an advert on Facebook from the shoebox appeal and I had a mental breakdown that lasted an hour! It's a roller coaster OP and very normal. You're definitely not alone. Big hugs for you💐

Thank you both so much for your replies. I feel sick with worry after seeing the blood but I'm taking comfort in the fact that I have no pain and it was very light, for now. Hoping for a decent nights sleep now. Thank you again! X

Congratulations!
I'm 7 weeks and I've had bleeding on and off since 5 weeks.
So far all is ok. I know how stressful it is!
If it continues ask for a referral to wary pregnancy assessment unit Thanks

I forgot just how stressful it all is! Thank you, I'm trying to stay positive but it's so difficult. Congratulations to you too! X
