Don’t feel pregnant - need reassurance?

I will be six weeks pregnant in a few days. My pregnancy has been confirmed via multiple at home tests, and lab work to test for progesterone and rising HCG levels. All looks good, docs are pleased.

BUT. I feel somehow disconnected from this pregnancy. I have had one other pregnancy which ended in a MC at 5 weeks. The only symptoms I had were increased thirst and some fatigue. Now, I have much greater fatigue, nausea, intense heartburn, headache, and increased urination. I felt rather pukey this morning and was so excited but I still feel so strange…I keep asking myself, am I really pregnant? Am I STILL pregnant? Especially if I have a period of time where I’m feeling like myself and don’t have symptoms I wonder if something has gone wrong and I’m going to MC again. I keep trying to tell myself that unless I start bleeding everything is fine. Especially since my progesterone looks great and last time It was so low it was not high enough to sustain a pregnancy.

Has anyone else felt this way before? How do I get over this? I am so grateful to be experiencing this pregnancy and I want to make the most of this precious time as much as I possibly can, but I’m struggling with this a bit. Is this a normal thing to worry about?

oh I definitely can identity! I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant after a looooooong time trying for our first.

when we got our IVF results I was convinced they weren’t going to be positive. I then didn’t get much symptoms (apart from implantation bleeding - which was wonderful for the anxiety 😟) I then felt terrible for a couple of days and when I felt better I worried why I was suddenly feeling better. I’m sure DH thought I was going out of my mind 🤦🏼‍♀️. I had 3 bouts of implantation bleeding too and every time I thought - yup this is it.

due to my situation I’ve had 5 scans already and every time I’m always relieved to see a kicking baby there. I have to keep telling myself that at some point it HAD to go right or why would we keep trying!!

i was listening to Giovanna Fletcher’s podacast the other day and she mentioned that as her first pregnancy ended in miscarriage she never felt safe in her subsequent 3. It made me feel so much better to hear someone say that out loud.

Hope you are feeling better today!
