Spotting and cramps 7 weeks

[AmyA29]

Hi all,

Almost 11 months to the date after discovering I had suffered a missed miscarriage I found out I was expecting again. I havent been able to feel any excitement about this pregnancy just a sense of dread. I am 33 with no children and suffer with PCOS, a few months ago I had a sense that I would never be a mother and that it just wouldn't happen for me. So I was in complete shock when I saw the BFP (on about 15 tests)
I havent even told my partner that I am pregnant as I don't want to put him through the pain of losing another child.
Since BFP I have been suffering with lower back ache, I do have a tilted uterus which can apparently cause this. I am utterly convinced that this pregnancy will end in a loss again, my symptoms have been very intermittent which also worries me. Today I have had horrendous period pains and when I have just been to the loo there was a light pink discharge on the toilet roll. It has not been heavy enough to mark my underwear. I had a private scan on Sunday which showed a little beam at 6w6d
I just feel numb and so alone, I almost don't want to get checked out and hear those words again.

@AmyA29 hi, how are things going? First of all I just wanted to send you a big hug. Plenty of people get spotting and cramping during early pregnancy - it doesn't have to mean that you are losing the baby. Although I absolutely appreciate how terrifying it must feel after a previous loss.

I think, whilst noble reasons, maybe you need to share with your partner..? Surely he wouldn't want you going through all this anxiety alone?

Give your GP or midwife base a ring and see what they say. Unfortunately, if the worst is happening, burying your head in the sand won't change the outcome but it could have health implications. There is also a chance that everything is ok and you are worrying yourself unnecessarily.

I really hope everything is fine for you. 💕
