I am 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant only found out 2 weeks ago and over the past week I have become almost obsessed with thinking that I am going to go for my scan next Friday and they are going to say that I have had a missed miscarriage. It happened to my sister in law a couple of years ago and also a friend earlier this year so I think that must be where my fear is coming from.

After spending 18 months trying to get pregnant and believing that we would have to try IVF last year this pregnancy was a shock to say the least and I am finding it hard to believe that it has actually happened. My HcG levels at 8 weeks were 24000 and the doctor said that was a sign it is a good strong pregnancy. I have had tiredness, some nausea, loss of appetite, backache and sore BBs but over the past couple of days the tiredness and the sore BBs have reduced, although the backache and nausea are still the same and every time I get a twinge in my tummy I have a minor panic thats its not just stretching pains. I did have a very light pale pink spot when I wiped on Sunday but we had done the deed that afternoon so I thought it might have come from that and there was nothing more came of it.

Everyone else I know who is pregnant seems to be telling everyone really early on, like 6 weeks, and doesn't seem concerned or worried that something might happen whereas I am obsessed with it, constantly doing internet seaches, reading articles, finding bits in books.

Has anyone else experienced similar worries at this level and stage or is it my body trying to tell me something? My scan is next Friday - should I just relax, cross my legs and hang on until then or is there something else I can do?

Sorry for sounding so morbid and depressing, actually just typing this all out has made me feel a bit better, thank goodness for Belly Belly!
