So worried I'm going to miscarry again

ScoobyDoo · Guest

I'm 5 weeks 2 days pregnant today and finding it really hard to get excited as I don't want to get my hopes up. I suffered a miscarriage in Jan at around 5 1/2 weeks so am naturally very anxious.

I keep thinking my breasts aren't as sore (think I'm just getting used to them hurting now) and that I don't feel pregnant anymore. I've been having period like pains and a few mild twinges (which I know are common and nothing to worry about), I also had these before and I'm told it's the uterus stretching. But, if I don't feel anything for a few hours I panick that something's wrong.

I'm going to the loo at every opportunity just to check that I'm not bleeding as I'm so worried that it's going to happen again. My main concern at the moment is even if we do make it to the first scan that there won't be a heartbeat and I'm making myself sick with worry. I've been checking my temperature but to be honest I'm not sure of the average temperature at this stage - does anyone know?

I know there's nothing you can do to prevent it but it doesn't stop you worrying! I want to go to the early pregnancy unit (epu) in about a week just to set my mind at risk but when I miscarried last time I was told that I wouldn't be monitored closely unless I suffered 3 or more miscarriages in a row, so not sure if I'd be allowed unless I was bleeding etc?

Anyway, I know I'm being completely irrational but I just really need to set my mind at rest. I know you'll probably all just tell me to stop worrying but that's easier said than done!

Sorry it's so long but if you're still awake, I'd like to hear some happy endings from people who have miscarried in the past! And does anyone know if you can go to the (epu) just to set your mind at rest?

Thanks in advance x
