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

The same thing happened to me on July 4th 2008 and now I just found out today that I am pregnant AGAIN! I am about 4 1/2 weeks and last time I was 2 months.... it was a horrible time and I worry just like you, is it going to happen again? Its bugging me to think that way! Can you let me know what types of responses you got back... I am truely scared even though this is only my 2nd time being pregnant I am horrified and cannot even celebrate because I am scared this will happen again

Hope everything goes ok with you x
I was 21 and found out i was pregnant at the beginning of feb, 5 weeks later i had a miscarriage, within a few weeks i was pregnant again and then the same thing happened, about 5 weeks later i had a miscarriage. Went to the doctors again a few weeks after that and she did a pregnancy test which was positive, she sent me to another doctor who was convinced it was an ectopic pregnancy and sent me straight for an internal scan. I was 6 weeks gone and there was the baby on the screen with a heartbeat. 8 months later my daughter was born healthy!!
They said there was no reason for the miscarriages and sometimes, as sad as it is, it just happens. Just wanted you to know that there are happy endings, even after a few miscarriages xxxx
