Irrational Fears??

[Jakabella]

Good Morning all!

Happy Easter!!

I had a m/c last month at 5 weeks and now I have been very lucky to get a BFP this month and would be about 5.5 weeks today - I am coutning the first day of my M/C bleeding as my period as it happened so early- and I ovulated a bit latter than 14 days so that why the due date calcs say im a bit more along.

I am quite calm even tho I did have a m.c for our fist preg and I am trying to stay that way but I keep having a few irrational thoughts...

I have VERY sore boobs and I find myself touching them ALL the time so I know that they are still sore...

I tested Wed and got 2 lines and tested again on Sat (AF due) and there were 2 strong lines but I still feel like I need to test so I know it just hasnt disapreaed and im not preg any more...

I have a lot if stretching feelings and funny feeling in my tummy and when they stop for a while I feel like its over and I want to feel them again..

I have a bit of light nausea and I want it to get realy bad so I know im still preg..

I check my undies like a million times a day to seeif there is any blood...

Are these fears normal? Or did anyone have these feelings?? Im know that they are irrational and that it prob all ok - and if not that there isnt much I can do at this early stage anyway...

Im off to docs tomorrow - and I guess as I have had a M/C that Ill have blood tests for a while to check levels - thats scaring the pant off me too!!

Thanks for reading my irrational drivel!!

Aw I reckon your fears and thoughts are completely normal and many pregnant women here will tell you! After experiencing a m/c like you did, it's normal for you to feel insecure about your next pregnancy and I will be the same way about my next BFP that comes along.... it all seems to good to be true!

I guess all you can do is TRUST your body that it knows what to do and eat well, sleep well, and soon enough you will feel a bit more relaxed about it all big hugs.... and once you see that bub on the scan and the HB, you will feel alot better i would imagine ...

Thanks Ren! You are such a sweet sweet person and I have got a lot of comfort from you over the last 4-5 months.. I really really hope that I see a BFP from you in the not to distant future!!

Yeah I wish I could shut my eyes and when I open them I am at 12 weeks!! But that would be wishing my life away woulnt it!!

I kow exactly where you are coming from!!! I had the same thing happen. M/C in DEc and then fell preg straight away (against docs orders). I was like you not really believing it or being excited but secretly hoping. To a point they are irrational but you can't help it!! I checked for bleeding too and it happened again!! I bled for nearly 3 weeks and was always freaking out and feeling sad. But it all went well and now we have our gorgeous DD who is 6 months. I'm not saying it will be the same for you but good things do happen! So far you sound like you're going BEAUTIFULLY - put your mind at ease and ask doc for dating u/s. It might be too early to see anything but it might not.. will put your mind at ease.

:hugs: Aw it is so normal hun, I too check my knickers almost with a microscope even now at 12 weeks and am terrified of my scan this week, but I remember being the same with Iz. As I said in a previous post, I think we mums are programmed to worry about our beautiful babies from the time they are conceived until we die - that is what makes us such great mummies! I hope you can try to relax a little, that the next few weeks pass quickly and you can really enjoy your pregnancy!!

Your fears are normal. Just remember that symptoms can come and go so it doesn't have to mean anything even if they completely disappear. My BB's stopped being sore at around 6 weeks and I never developed m/s yet all is well with bubs. For a great deal of my pregnancy I did not feel very "pregnant" so each scan was reassurance for me. In the early days the BT's were reassuring.
