Am I being paranoid.

[sarahscot]

Feel achey, crampy and bloated. Am 4wk3d I think. Is this normal? Didn't get a BFP until 2-3 days after AF due, means HCG levels must be low? - can't be a good thing. Can't decide if I'm just being paranoid though, or if I should be worried that this pregnancy 'won't stick'. I have no history of MC, last pregnancy was fine.

Probably

I came on here with every twinge, ache and funny feeling throughout my last pg, and received wonderful support, so carry on - but yes, you are probably being paranoid, but it's natural.

My only words of wisdom (?) are to try, try not to let paranoid thoughts cloud your pregnancy. There is no reason that anything would go wrong, but if it did, worrying about it beforehand won't stop it IYSWIM, all it will do is stop you enjoying it.

Trying to cast my mind back to early pg....I think achey, crampy and bloated are normal! The muscles at the front of your lower belly can twinge and ache at this stage and the cramps are probably just the uterus adjusting. Take care.

Very normal all the above, im 8 week's and was so worried about all the cramps etc aslong as there not horrible pains and no bleeding just be reassured its your uterus streching making room for your baby

as for the pregnancy test you could of ovulated later .. dont worry about that but if you are anything like me i took loads of tests so i could see the linbe get darker

Thanks guys, hope you're right. I hate that we have to wait until 12 weeks to get a scan to check it's all okay. The next 8 weeks are going to draaaaaaaag.

I actually booked a private one as i couldnt wait, so gave me a little reassurance

Yes you're being paranoid. I am queen of paranoia and I was exactly the same. At about the time AF was due, I got all the bloating and cramps that I used to get just before my period so kept assuming that all three of the pee sticks were faulty and AF was going to rear her ugly head soon.
