Early Pregnancy Anxiety

Suzie

I’m just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, I am 5 weeks + 3 and just feel like I am constantly looking for a reason for things to go wrong, when I have symptoms I think there’s something wrong (cramps), when I lose these symptoms or my symptoms lessen I think somethings wrong, there’s just no winning! Right now my boobs have become much less sore, cramps have eased, I thought I was very nauseous at points but now I feel like I’m looking for nausea, I think I didn’t start getting symptoms till 6 weeks with my last (and when I did they hit hard!! I had terrible depression starting at about 6 weeks for a short spell then at 7 the unrelenting nausea hit and had a very healthy baby and very healthy pregnancy which my GP imagined would be the case from my strong symptoms) so I know there’s still time, I found out earlier this time, but my mind just won’t let me go to that place. All I do is worry or stop myself being excited!

I have an 8/9 week reassurance scan booked and I’m actually dreading it because I feel they will tell me the worst ☹️

Anyone else going mad? Just me?
