Can't help but feel like I am doing something wrong.

So for a little bit of context, I have a 7 year old and we have been trying for a baby. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, we went for a private scan and then a hospital scan and the after waiting two weeks, it turned out the baby had stopped developing at 7 weeks. We were devastated. I was really excited when I found out I was pregnant again and I tested as soon as I missed my period but this happened to be a chemical pregnancy. I am now 7 weeks pregnant again and I can't help thinking something is wrong as my boobs have stopped hurting, I no longer feel sick and I'm getting period type cramps ( I know these symptoms can be completely normal)
I feel really guilty as I have had an abortion in the past and and can't help feel this is karma. I won't go into the details of the abortion but it was early abortion. I don't want any judgment as I feel bad enough.

My question is should I arrange a scan or just wait? What would you do in this situation?

Thank you.

I would book an early scan based on your history and symptoms

Sorry to hear about your previous miscarriage. It's easy to blame yourself but (as much as we'd love it not to be) we don't have any control over these things.

On your present worry, symptoms can be very on and off throughout, but I'd book a scan for reassurance anyway. Sending you sticky baby dust.
