5 weeks and feel like I'm going insane!!

[Anonymous130197]

Hello!
I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of this is, I think I'm lonely and need to speak to people in a similar situation

Currently 4w5d pregnant with baby number four (pregnancy number 6) and just feel horrifically negative about it.

We've been praying for this baby for so long, so finding out was such a dream, but since finding out one week ago I've just been so full of dread of loss or something going wrong. I've had spotting for nearly a week on and off, bit of belly / hip ache.

I've been to the GP who simply said wait and see which tbh I expected with the early weeks.

Ahhhh!! Hahaha

Hi OP! Honestly the worst part of being pregnant in the very early days is that it feels like no one takes you seriously. I had a MC in April at 7 weeks and had to literally fight with EPU to see me. It's the worst, I felt like just because I was early in the pregnancy, myself and my baby didn't matter.

Just here to say you're not alone!! Both spotting and aches are completely common and normal! If the pain or bleeding gets any worse, go to your GP (and if they won't listen maybe drop in you have some shoulder pain - I had to do this the last time to get someone to listen to me and scan) as they'll need to check it's not ectopic. Some might not agree with that but I did what I had to do to get myself checked out!

Good luck with everything xxx

Aw thank you so much for responding. You have no idea how much it means.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s horrible isn’t it, I always get the “at least it was early” with my previous losses like it makes an ounce of difference!? 🙃

Thank you so much. I actually rang them back and had a bit of a hissy fit, the EPU rang me and the woman was THE nicest person I’ve ever spoken to. Made me feel so much better looked after. She will scan me next week too.

Just can’t shake this ‘somethings going to go wrong’ feeling!
