Early stages pregnancy after infertility - anxious

Just wanting some people to talk to who might be experiencing the same. This is my second pregnancy, 5+3 currently. My first was an IVF pregnancy in 2020. This is a somewhat miraculous natural conception after over 6 years off contraception and a lot of unsuccessful fertility treatment. I just feel so anxious things will go wrong, even more so than last time. I think the added pressure of if it works, not having to do IVF again, all the money we would save, aside from the obvious of actually having another child, which I had started to accept might not happen.

My symptoms are similar this time, limited at the moment except for bloating afternoon and evening and on/off sickness. The sickness coming and going is worrying me, even though I know that is common. It got very constant at 7 weeks last time so im waiting to see what happens. I have an early scan booked for 2 weeks time (7+3) but that feels like forever at the moment.

If anyone else wants to chat, feel welcome to say hi :)
