Worry and Fear is kicking in

Brittany

I'm 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my rainbow baby. I lost my first pregnancy in April at 14 weeks. I had seen a good heart beat at 10 weeks and had absolutely no symptoms of miscarriage. It took 2 months to finally ovulate again due to my slowly falling hcg. I became pregnant again during this first ovulation and was so happy, excited, and slightly fearful. I told myself I will take this pregnancy one day at a time and try to not let fear overcome me but this week I've been failing at handling my fear.

My symptoms are so different from the first. This time around my symptoms come and go more. Some mornings I wake feeling nauseous and others I'm perfectly fine. I have a bit of a belly then the next morning it looks like it's gone only to show up a little later in the day. Occasionally I have sore breasts or will have some occasional breast pain but they're not swollen or tender. I'm less energetic and more tired but last time I was always so exhausted I had to nap daily and even a nap didn't fully help. The only consistent symptom is frequent urination. Every time I go to the bathroom I check for blood even though I never bleed with my last pregnancy. I don't know how to stay calm. I have to wait until aug 2 for my first ultrasound. They took my beta hcg at 5 weeks and it was 856 so since it was normal for how far along I was, they didn't want to take it again to make sure it keeps going up. Anyone have advice to stay calm until I get to see my baby and hopefully see a heartbeat?
