I'm a paranoid wreck. I have 1 DD2.5. She was pregnancy number 3 and this is now pregnancy number 5. We had the latest miscarriage August 2023 - this one was an early miscarriage but still hard. I am still traumatised. The EGU staff were lovely and referred us to the recurrent miscarriage clinic and we were discharged last April when tests came back normal. We found out the day before yesterday I am pregnant LMP puts me at around 6 weeks tomorrow. The miscarriage clinic discharged us stating should we have another pregnancy we should have a scan at the EGU at approx 6 weeks gestation OR if I have a miscarriage to take the tissue in for genetic sampling.
I am on edge. I've had some spotting today so at work I've been going to the toilet every ten minutes to wipe although I'm sure it's normal spotting. My breast are tender but I've convinced myself they are now less tender. I have had very mild cramping which again I'm sure I had with my DD. But again convinced I've been running off to the toilet. God knows what my boss thinks is wrong. I've had a headache which I've probably bought on myself again convinced something is wrong. I am frozen to the bone and have been for two days. I only have until Thursday to wait but I can't snap out of it and feel like the stress is only doing more harm.
I've been to Superdrug and bought more pregnancy tests to prove to myself I'm still pregnant. I went to Sainsbury's to pick up dinner and picked up a meat thermometer in the Argos to ensure that my dinner was correctly cooked. I scrubbed my fruit mercilessly clean at lunch today. What can i do to try to relax?
