Anxious- am I really pregnant?

[BlackCatMumm]

I got my first positive pregnancy test after missing my period in October and according to my midwife after my first appointment and apps I should be around 9 weeks pregnant (due on 25th June 2025), but I am so anxious that it's not real.

I've had no periods since end of Sep so missed two now and had some cramping (as expected) and slightly sore boobs, but I've had no morning sickness or any weird stuff with food (cravings or things making me feel sick) and I'm so anxious that I'm not actually pregnant. I know I could just be super super lucky to not feel shit but it almost doesn't make it feel real.

I've taken about 4 different tests in the past 6 weeks and they keep saying positive but everything online and people I know have said how they feel rough or even just a bit off and I don't. I've got three weeks until my first scan and just wanted to see if anyone else has felt like this/ how you coped with the anxious wait for your scan?

You could definitely book an early scan at nine weeks and expect to see a heartbeat hopefully if you are having positive pregnancy tests it’s a good sign.

No sickness isn’t unheard of. Each pregnancy is different and I found I only had cravings in my third trimester.

Could you go for an early reassurance scan privately? But if this is starting to be anxiety then the reassurance only lasts as long as the scan. The next day you’d be worried again. You’d have to go into it accepting that if all is well, it’s well and you’re going to have to relax more.

I didn’t feel unwell with my first 3 pregnancies. I had morning sickness with no 4 but just nausea.

My. Mum had 4 kids and not a day of sickness or any other noticeable symptoms with any of us (as she loves to tell me while I've suffered badly in both pregnancies!).
Some women are just lucky!

Symptoms - whether extreme or lack of them, when they appear, if they are constant or come and go etc - have no bearing on whether this is a healthy pregnancy or not

Thanks all for your words. I think I just need reassurance from someone that it’s true and not just a pregnancy test I’ve done myself. I’ve booked myself in for an early scan this weekend (as I’ll be almost 10 weeks). It’s only 2 and a half weeks before my NHS one but I know it will give me peace of mind
