    Hun hugs as I said last night in chat stretching/cramping pains are very common, with no bleeding they are not an issue.

    After getting preg having a mc then taking 12 months to conceive DS1 I know how stressful it can be, I was running to loo every 5 min to check for bleeding etc etc, and was worried even once I had started feeling movements etc. I was the same in preg with DS2 as well.

    Its very normal reaction after any length of time TTC.

    Go to the dr ask for a blood test and ask for a scan around 8 weeks if it will make you feel more comfortable!!

    Hugs, and Congrats on the little Bubba growing inside you!!!

    I am a high risk preg, after losing my daughter 16 mths ago, also was ttc for 11 months this time round.

    I too am paranoid, have had spotting on and off throughout and just can't relax and enjoy the pregnancy.

    I get cramping and stretchy feelings, all normal, I had it with all of my children.

    Get the bloods done for reassurance, and book in for a scan at about 7 weeks, you should be able to see bubs and heartbeat by then.

    Hoping all goes well,

    thinking of you,

    take care,

    Defs go the BT. That was the best thing for me, better than the early scan.

    Fingers crossed for you...

    Ah hon I understand your worry, after the mc's I had and then it taking so long ttc I also found myself thinking about mc again. All you can do is relax as much as you can really. I found it helpful to have the HCG levels checked right at the start and again just before 7 weeks. I also had a scan at 7 weeks and another one at 9 weeks (after the common mc time) just to make sure everything was still OK. Then I only had 3 weeks to wait till the 12 week NT scan and I think I may have even gotten another blood test in between scans, just to keep me relaxed. I guess what I am trying to say is not to be afraid to demand BT's and scans ans space them out so that you only have a week or two in between your reassurance. Sticky vibes to you my friend, I'm sure everything will fine xo
