Anxiety waiting for 12 weeks

[shannonhinton0421]

I'm currently 4+3, I found out I was pregnant 4 days ago. I sadly I had a MC in November.
Im just so worried all the time im testing every morning and have still got a strong line.
The last 2 days my symptoms have been really strong, lots of nausea, food aversions, cramping, back ache, itching nipples and feeling very emotional.

Today my symptoms arnt as strong, I'm having a little pain this morning and little twinges in my tummy. Like on and period pain but not that bad it's more in my back. Obviously every time I get period like pain I'm worrying.

It's such a hard phase a pregnancy to go through the constant worry, I'm trying not think about it but it's just so hard. I have booked for a 6 week scan for soem reasurance.
When I MC in November I was 4+5, so will be Saturday I'm trying to get last I know it sounds silly.

The last few days have dragged for me. I have a 2 year old and I feel guilty that I'm not being as present with him because my mind is elsewhere, I'm trying to stay busy with keep it off my mind. I just pray all goes well.

Last time I didn't really have many symptoms, this time I do have a lot so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

It's so hard isn't it. i'm 8 weeks, and haven't had private scan. I'm just trying to assume all fine unless I have bleeding, my symptoms have been different each day which I think is very common. I had cramps when I was weeks 4-5.

Its so hard I feel your pain. I'm 10+2 and was 7+6 when I had my MC so getting past that was a huge milestone for me! It doesn't take away any of the anxiety going forward though.

I'm sorry you had to experience MC too but you already for a child, so there's no reason you can't have another one. Just maybe try to relax and trust your body.

You're still in very early days so symptoms can be all over the place, I wouldn't read anything into them.

It is! Very very hard! I keep thinking everyday I'm a step closer the why are the days dragging soo bad. Congratulations, I'm the same up and down with symptoms right now.
Glad to know you also had cramping and have to for too 8 weeks. X

Yeah you're right! Like I said I just need to try forget about it As much as I can really.

Congratulations and I'm sorry you also had a MC, it's very tough after a previous loss. I worry when I do have symptoms and then worry when I don't.
I suppose I can only wait now that's all I can do.

I’m 5+0 by dates, think I’m more like 4+3 by when I ovulated though. I’m an anxious mess - DH and my mom are super excited but I can’t stop thinking about everything that could possibly go wrong.

had cramping and backache from Sunday through to yesterday but that seems to have stopped now. My boobies are quite sore though!

Doesnt help that I’m a midwife and a little bit of knowledge is a scary thing - I’m hoping to persuade a colleague to scan me once I hit 6 weeks 😂

I have no advice but just wanted to say I know how hard it is. I had 2 mcs between my girls and I have never experienced such anxiety with the last 3 pregnancies. Every twinge felt like a mc was about to start, every stretching pain and waking up just not feeling pregnant anymore. Early symptoms are so like period pains! It’s like torture; I so hope that this is a successful pregnancy and you can relax a bit soon. 💐

Awww bless you!

I do really feel you right now we have very similar symptoms, I've had cramping and back ache since Sunday and then today it's been no where near as bad and then today I also got itchy boobs for the first time.

I can only imagine it's worse for you right now like you say because you bear everything at work. Fingered crossed they will.

I'm the same my partner keeps saying "I can't believe we're actually gonna have 2 kids" "wonder if it will be a boy or girl" and I don't really know what to say back to him, im very excited but im sooooooo scared and scared to jinx it

Thank you this really means a lot xxx
