TW Miscarriage Worry

[Pickle50]

Hello lovely mums

I’m 5 weeks pregnant. I had 3 miscarriages prior to having my DS, over a period of 4 years.
I need some help because, I can’t stop worrying. It’s driving me and my husband mad.

I’m spotting tiny amounts, lost all tenderness in my breasts over the last few days and have cramps. I spoke to the GP yesterday and they won’t send me to the EPU for a scan unless there’s actual blood (I’m barely spotting )and they said I’ll need to wait another 2 weeks as a scan is more accurate if I wait until the baby is a bit bigger. I booked a private scan but the earliest is 3 weeks away.

My question is, how do you cope? My successful pregnancy was hard work but I thought this time would be calmer. I’ve accepted I might miscarry again, but the wait is unbearable. Any tips? I’m an older mum so feel a bit like my chances are slipping away. Can someone give me a smack around the chops and give me some perspective?

Thank you 🙏

Can't offer much advice apart from to say I also had cramping from about 5 or 6 weeks for a week or two and my little one is 1 now. Hopefully your spotting stops and you can relax a little more. I don't really remember my boobs being that tender early on I think its maybe something that comes and goes 🤞 wishing you the best of luck and hope everything works out for you all.

No advice really either. I'm 38, and also worrying more than I thought I would this time around. Have had some light brown cm, and cramps and backache. But also from my charts I have to remind myself I had some spotting both in my successful pregnancy and in my mmc.

I'm also trying to remind myself a big fear last time was I wouldn't get to be a mum. And I'm blessed beyond belief with my little boy. But I'm also a control freak and I think that's why I'm struggling two much with being in limbo

Thank you both for your replies :) helps a bit to feel less lonely. Also gives some perspective - it’s hard not to just focus on the negatives (loss of symptoms, spotting etc… ) and helped me to remember that I had a few symptoms with my successful pregnancy too.

Im sorry for your loss A1b2…. And you’re right, I am blessed with my little one too. I guess that’s the most important take away from this. I’m also a bloody control freak so I feel that. Hope you’re doing ok x
