Anxiety about every worst case

Hi everyone, I'm 39, bmi 35, pcos and endometriosis. I've been ttc on and off since my daughter was born in 2001. I found out unexpectedly that I was pregnant 3 weeks ago, which was a complete surprise.

So far I've had nausea on and off, some food aversions, boobs hurt occasionally, feel quite tired and a bit crampy on the left side (implantation side). Not many symptoms and they come and go. No bleeding but constant anxiety. First I convinced myself I was having an ectopic, then a blighted ovum and now a partial molar. It's not an ectopic or a blighted ovum, scans confirm this. I'm around 8 weeks and I've seen the heartbeat. But I can't get out of my head I'm going to miscarry, it's actually causing me so much stress.

I know you can have a partial molar and have seen the heartbeat and I'm older, overweight and they've seen a cyst on an early scan so lots of risk factors. Am I alone with this crippling worry? I know what will be will be but the anxiety is taking over.

Did not want to read and run Thanks I am currently 13 weeks and have felt very anxious throughout. A heartbeat at 8 weeks is a good sign. They also found a cyst on my ovary on my 10 week scan but this had pretty much disappeared by 12 weeks (sonographer said they are really common and can be a sign of which ovary you ovulated from). I had a scan at 8 weeks, 10 weeks and 12 weeks which helped ease some of my worry as I felt like if something was going wrong I'd know about it sooner rather than later. I hope you are ok and congratulations- try and stay positive xx
