So I’ve just found out that I am 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant with my Rainbow baby. In October I had a missed miscarriage and it was absolutely heartbreaking, we weren’t expecting to get pregnant so quickly but we were actively trying so it’s happy news! But as you can imagine this is also anxiety riddled, nerve wracking news and I’m really struggling with the thought of what could happen.
I think it’s all made worse as I’m not having any of the same symptoms that I had last time, I’ve not particularly had any morning sickness or no food aversions but I’ve been having the cramping feeling which I’ve been reassured is very very normal as it’s not constant it’s just occasional and is likely to be implantation.
I just feel really nervous about it all and it’s made worse as someone at work is 11 weeks pregnant and is incredibly nauseous all the time and it’s making me concerned about my pregnancy.
We’ve made the decision that we won’t be telling anyone until we feel a bit safer and we’re thinking about paying for an early scan at 7 weeks, (I think that’s possible?) what does anyone think? Is that a good idea? We ended up having an early scan last time because of spotting and the worst obviously was the outcome.
So basically all in all, does anyone have any tips to keep calm, not constantly think of the worst and basically any advice on anything else/what I’ve mentioned is welcome.
