5 weeks help pls

Hey!

I have cramping which is bareable and I've had it for a few days, my pregnancy test lines have gotten stronger from last week and my weeks indicator has gone up to 2-3 from 1-2 which has been really reassuring.

I'm really nervous about something going wrong. I've currently got an upset stomach and have convinced myself that having the runs (sorry TMI!) is like a sign I'm going to lose the baby?

I'm probably wrong but I need some reassurance :( xx

Sorry im not sure anyone can comment on what could happen. When I was in the early stages, I had a lot of cramping and back pain and phoned triage for some advice. Could you phone the early maternity unit/ your local maternity hospital for some advice? They probably wouldn’t scan you as it’s quite early and even private clinics don’t tend to scan until 6 weeks.
Try relax a little, easier said than done I know, but the stress will make you feel more unwell.
I hope you’re okay!

Cramping can be quite normal as your uterus grows to accommodate the baby, I've had it with all three of my pregnancies and each time I've worried and things have turned out fine. As long as it isn't accompanied by bleeding or severe pain you can probably assume everything is fine. If you're still concerned however you can book private scans from 6 weeks, or speak to your doctor :) x
