Hi meegm - everything you are feeling is normal - i was so stressed with this pregnancy up until i got my 12 week u/s. You hear story after story of horrible/sad outcomes and worry yourself sick that it will happen to you too. I had mild period like pain intermittently in 1st trimester, pain on one side or the other wasn't uncommon and the tugs were common and i was told that is the uterus stretching etc. I remember thinking i can't do this again because the worry was making me even more exhausted and sick!! I'm now 20 weeks and although I still have moments of worry they are nothing like what they were in the 1st timester. I think it's only natural to be apprehensive as this is the time you're told that is the most likely time to miscarriage. Rest assured that each day should get better, join the thread for your EDD and you'll probably find you all feel the same way. I found my thread to be massive support at alleviating nerves as everyone feels the same. It does get easier and better but rest assured you are definitely not alone. xx
