Ok, had spotting when af due and thought that was af, then boobs really sore and dh and bestfr said to test! Positive but have had mild af pain on and off for last two days, boobs still very sensitive. Everytime i go to the loo i'm terrified i'll be bleeding, had mc last year at 10 weeks.

Is the pain normal (got dd 4.5 too) and the fear of weeeing!

I agree with bb - I had period type pain making me convinced I wasn't pregnant, when I was.

I've had three sucessful pregnancies and two mcs in between, so I know how it feels to be pregnant after mc. It's nervewrecking! But somehow you will get through it. I had blood tests and a scan at 8 weeks that helped reassure me things were going well.

oh and congratulations both bb and eleanorsmum!

I had a lot of AF-style pains in the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy. I found them a bit scary but it's just everything stretching x

Hello! Glad I'm not the only one living on Planet Worry at the moment. I am 4 weeks 4 days today (did the test on Friday) and feel totally normal and fine! So I am worried it is going wrong because I don't feel particularly pregnant yet. I had an MC last May at 12 weeks (baby had died at about 6 weeks). It is so confusing isn't it being happy about being pregnant but being worried at every twinge, every non-twinge. You might laugh but I was worried today that I wasn't getting enough AF type pain as with previous pregnancies I've had more AF type pain around this time. I know how you feel eleanorsmum.

Becky - in all probability, you have about a fortnight left before you start to feel like death inadequately warmed up. Relax and enjoy it - and get anything which requires any effort at all done asap!

I was thinking that earlier on. I was thinking I should cook and freeze loads of food! I was cooking my DSs tea tonight and thinking 'in a couple of weeks time this smell will make me want to heave'. Oh crumbs!

Longtalljosie · 15/03/2009 20:14

Yep - definitely do that. And stock up on rice cakes and twiglets - my two greatest weapons in the battle against morning sickness... wrist bands shmist bands...

Oh congrats mate!!! Normal to be paranoid, you may remember I was with ds2! Yes, I had those pains etc. and he turned out fine - thinking of you xxx

Thandeka · 16/03/2009 10:16

I'm a day behind you- 5.2 today!

I have on off AF pains- they seem to have subsided a bit (worst when AF due) but I still have 1-3 episodes a day. I posted about it on another thread and was reassured it was normal.

Fingers crossed for us both!
