Worrying myself silly!!!!!!

It can be a bit of a worrying time I had an early m/c between #2 and this one and this time around I noticed every little pinch or cramp. You're definitely not being stupid! Wanting to be pregnant so much (I'm presuming, since you've got pg twice since your son was born) just adds to the pressure/worry.

For me, it just got easier from m/w appointment to m/w appointment, with all the urines and blood pressures etc assuring me that things were fine in there.

I think it's normal esp after a bad expereince. I started off OK until and was quite relaxed, until I started getting bleedings at around week 10 or so. The only reassuring thing was seeing baby on scan and hearing it's heart. Nothing anyone could say or do seemed to help - both DH and MIL tried their best. I never told my mum - she's a huge worrier and it would have only made things worse.
Hope you can find a level-headed person to talk to and of course, you can always come here and chat!
Best of luck - I hope baby hangs in there for you!

Amber, its completely normal, I promise.  Either that or I'm crazy too. 

I still check the toilet paper every single time I go to the loo, and if my bbs are less sore for any reason I completely freak out.  I think it's just a sad reality for those of us who have lost babies - we never feel completely comfortable with the fact we're pregnant.

I thought seeing the baby's heartbeat would help me, and it has...very slightly.  I'm still freaking.  I really truly hope that by Christmas (I will be 14 weeks) I will be more comfortable with the whole thing.

I decided to stop after the 3rd Hcg results as my doc adviced that once you get to a certain point some ladies start to freak out because the pattern of their hcg changes and i would be one of those people!!!
I have a scan booked for the 22nd of november and i cant get it any earlier as they might not be able to see anything before then (il be 6.5 weeks) and once again il start panicking so really i cant win!! im turning into a worry wort!!!!!

Sarah Beth - i remember clearly when i was pregnant with my son - waiting for the time when if he did come early he would have a good chance of living!! i was a worryer even then as he was 2nd after my 14 week MC and i ended up in hospital at 6 weeks pregnant with him as they suspected he was ectopic causing my severe cramping which i had continuously until 12 weeks!!!! then he was a very sleepy baby! (was when he was born and still is 3 years later!!!!) and i could go for days without feeling any movement therefore spent forever in the maternity ward checking he was still ok!!!!! so yeah it was never really uneventful hense my current stress head.
I also have high blood pressure (since iv been pregnant this time..have never had it before) and my doc thinks it because of all the stress of worrying!!!!

Its great to chat with all you ladies about it though as it is kind of starting to ease my mind so thankyou all

hehehe "james" i hope we are all just nutty - worrying ourselves silly over nothing!

What I learn't was that I worried all through the pregnancy, all through the birth and now every single day since. Different worries during different stages

Hi ladies,
Well last night i had a manic episode! where i sat awake till an ungodly hour!! worrying myself sick!!! because my boobs wernt as sore and i hadnt gone to the luu as often!! and my cervix felt low!!! (is it meant to be high or low at this stage???? 5.5 weeks). But then i came home and spoke to my SIL who has had 3 kids and she said that all my symptoms are normal which really put my mind at ease!
I have had yucky morning sickness at night times every night for the past week! its just a blah! nausious feeling! that starts about 7-9pm and goes away like it has never even been there!! at about midnight!.

Anyway yeah so thats the stats for today!

Baysmum sounds like you need a top-up snack around 8pm or so to help keep the m/s at bay.

hey im carina, new to this site im about 5weeks first baby and have had no symptons no sore breasts or anything! i keep playing with them to see if they hurt but no nothing! the only thing that comfirms my pregnancy is the 6tests i have taken! IM CRAZY! and a slight period pain which goes on and off, so you say its normal not to feel symptons this early?? i check myself too everytime i go to the loo! its completely normal!
