Thanks for your help guys. Im probably just being silly. Iv seen a heartbeat and have been told all is well. But misscarriage is still fairly high. Dont think ill feel better till i see my baby again ( hopefully). It just seems like such a long wait.
I still have nausea but no sickness anymore and my boobs itch like crazy half the time also they have grown loads. I cant make my mind up if my tummy is growing or not some days it seems like it is others it doesnt.
The pains i get feel like a very strong bloating feeling but it doesnt hurt to touch my tummy its just inside.
Thanks again

I know exactly how you feel. I've had a chemical pregnancy before and didn't know I was pregnant until it was too late. This pregnancy I found out at 4 weeks and I'm now between 9 and 13 weeks with my first ultrasound tomorrow and missed miscarriage is my biggest fear. The only thing that's still keeping me slightly positive is the fact I'm still having some symptoms so hoping it's alright.

The lower pains in your stomach (I've been getting them too btw) are most likely due to growing and stretching as your uterus and the baby start to grow. It could also be due to a UTI - which is what is the cause of my pains. I know how you feel, but all you can do is pray and be hopeful that everything is okay.
