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?
