Can’t stop thinking about miscarriage

[Bogasphodel]

Hi!

I found out the end of last week that I’m pregnant. Should be about 5 weeks along. I cannot stop thinking about miscarriage, I’ve been brown spotting for over a week (which was why I was over a week over my period before I tested). It’s not as much that though as I’ve spoke to the GP who reassured that that isn’t unusual (I’m aware my sisters both spotted with theirs) but that my mother had multiple miscarriages and I just can’t be excited as I think that that’s what will happen.

I'm not sure if I’m asking for reassurance or just to let it out, feel I had the most let down announcement to my OH where I said I’d had a positive but said not to get his hopes up incase I miscarried.

thanks!

@Bogasphodel hi, try to not worry, I had this when I thought I was about 7 weeks but was away on holiday in Spain so was worried sick. Had terrible back pain with it was sure I was losing the baby, got booked in at epu the day after I got home from holiday for a scan, all was fine and was actually 2 weeks further than I thought,
ever since this I have panicked constantly and had more spotting and brown discharge but midwife said not to worry. I’m now 27 weeks. I kept thinking I was going to lose the baby right up to my 20 week scan xx

I had this on DD1 at the same point, thought I had got my period and was out for the month. She is 5.5. I also had a massive bleed at 20 weeks and they said I had cervical eutroption and it was my cervix bleeding. Try not to worry. I know it's hard. The GP gave me a blood test 48 hours apart to check if HCG was rising as it should x

Thank you for the lovely replies! It’s not as much the spotting as that I just can’t get it out of my head that I’ll miscarry whatever happens. My mother spoke so much about the 8+ miscarriages she had before having me that I just think that that’s what will happen.
