13 weeks plus 5

Hey everyone I need some advice.

Currently 13 weeks plus 5. I have had multiple losses in the past and this is an IVF pregnancy.

My anxiety is through the roof. I’ve had multiple scans in the lead up to the 12 week dating scan and every single one was perfect. 12 week scan was last Friday and on the Sunday I had the most horrific bleed.

I attended the EPAU and they gave me a quick scan and the doctor checked my cervix and advised it was closed and the baby was ok heart still beating etc. No abnormalities have been found on any scan and everyone has said everything is perfect no cause for concern.

Since I had the bleed however my I have had slight cramp - nothing major - few twinges etc. The most horrific headache still nausea and diarrhoea once sometimes twice a day. I have a feeling something is wrong. I feel like my symptoms have completely dwindled..

I just have so much anxiety around this pregnancy as you can imagine. I think my question is.

Has anyone had barely any symptoms? Is the dull ache - consistent cramping normal at 13/14 weeks? Is the headaches? Is the diarrhoea? I don’t want to bother my midwife or GP as I feel like a bit of a burden with my consistent worry.

Hi, just came across this when looking into anxiety in pregnancy. My anxiety has a different cause, and I'm far from an expert, so I can't comment on the physical symptoms.

All I would say is speak to your GP / midwife whoever. You're not bothering them, but even if you are, it's not worth staying anxious. It's awful.

How are you doing now?
