Six weeks pregnant and panicking!

[gemmaj3]

I am six weeks pregnant and can't stop worrying. I miscarried in Jan 2010 at 7wks 3days and this time around I find myself analysing every little detail. I have always been a born worrier since my teens but this just feels daft. I currently have some kind of head cold that has had me in bed feeling sorry for myself and all the time I'm panicking about my baby. I couldn't bare to go through another miscarriage, I hate myself for worrying so much but as much as I try not to I just can't help it. Last time my boobs stayed sore right up until the day I miscarried and this time it comes and goes. I have felt a little sick but not sure if that's more to do with this cold? I don't feel too fatigued but I'm just scared at the lack of symptoms I don't seem to have! I need to be strong and some days I do feel positive, but then another day comes with a cramp or something and I'm reaching for my 'What to expect when you're expecting book'........................I need to chill out but I just can't :-(

I am doing ok now.  It was just that one time yesterday so I hope it was nothing.  Glad to see you are feeling a little better.  Hope everything is going well with you.

Thanks Ladies for your encouraging words, I feel lots better :-)

It's a shame that a miscarriage (or not a miscarriage for that matter) makes you analyse everything and makes you so afraid when you're pregnant, after all this is supposed to be a happy time for us isn't it! I'm sure we'll all be just fine and thank you again for replying. It's great to know my symptoms coming and going aren't necessarily a bad thing.

jrobertson20 - how are you now? x

mom2ariana - I have just looked at your pics on your profile......those pics of Ariana are amazing! x

Hey I am right there with you.  Every little pain or twinge I run to the bathroom.  I got my BFP 2 weeks ago and the day after I had light pink spotting.  Then it stopped after about 4 hours.  Then last week I had light pink spotting again for about the same time frame and stopped.  Now today when I wiped I had some pink spotting and a streak of bright red blood in my CM.  It hasn't happened but once this am but I am worrying so much.  I am 5 weeks and as far as symptoms are going my BB's are kind of sore but not like other people say and I am not having any sickness so everybody is different.  It's so hard though when you want something so bad. If I figure out a way to stop worrying I will let you know.  Just know you are not alone.

i understand the feeling im the same way i worry ALL the time about everything. but you're gonna be just fine, your chances of carrying this baby to term after a miscarriage are very good. symptoms coming and going are also completely normal..that happened to me!! i was worried cause one day my boobs would hurt and the next they wouldn't, and my nausea was gone by 8 weeks. but everything was fine! try not to worry too much, as long as you're not cramping and bleeding then you're okay! :) hang in there i'll keep you in my prayers.
