Constantly worried!

[cowlicks]

Any first-time mums who are constantly worried about miscarriage/ not really being pregnant? I never thought before conceiving that I would be so unsure of "being pregnant"! Up till now, besides the HPTs which showed the clear positives, and symptoms that are sometimes strong and sometimes not so strong, there is nothing to proof that I'm actually pregnant! I'll be having my first scan in a little less than 2 weeks (when I'm 9w), and it can't come soon enough!

Some people have very strong sickness; I have nausea sometimes but mostly it's just a loss of apetite/ feeling full easily, and dizziness. My boobs also don't feel any different, only look a bit fuller (but they never feel sore or anything when I was PMS either!). Every day I hope and pray that when I get to my scan they'll actually find a heartbeat in there!

I know it seems a very irrational fear, but does anybody feel like that as well?

I feel exactly this way. It's my 3rd pregnancy though. I had 2 mmc last year.
I've taken over 25 preg tests and made my dr draw 3 betas. And will likely ask for a 4th this week. My first ultrasound is next Monday when I'm 6+3. My only symptom is breast tenderness. I'd give anything for morning sickness. At least I'd feel more pregnant.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I'm still terrified even though I've never miscarried. I'm going for a scan on Wednesday and I'm so nervous. I even saw the heart beat flickering in our 1st scan.. but I'm still worried.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.. it's pretty normal from what I've heard. Just stay away from Google and miscarriage posts, it makes the paranoia way worse!

The husband wasn't helping much when he told me rates of miscarriage is very high... (no I'm not in the normal high-risk category; I've never miscarried before and my age is not in that range). I know he's trying to reassure me "in case" anything happens, but it doesn't work that way for pregnant women! I eventually had to tell him that makes me nervous, and he doesn't go on about that anymore, thank goodness!

I am 6 w 2 d today. Had bloods and an early scan at my fertility specialist and so far all looked good. MY HCG rose from 1732-2130 in 24 hours. Doctor saw sac and yolk sac at 5 w 3 d, but I still feel weird. I have ZERO symptoms. No boob pain, no hunger, no fatigue (more than usual), nothing. So for me I have a terribly negative feeling. Hoping tomorrows apt reassures me everything is okay. I am considered high risk since Im 36, but have never had a mc. Matter of fact never been pregnant in my life Hoping we all get the best results soon!!!

I'm almost 12 weeks along with my fourth baby, fourth pregnancy, and I still feel this way until I can feel baby on a regular basis (which is early because they all implanted right up against me). It is normal to be worried and scared, especially throughout the first trimester.

Measuring exactly on schedule . Progesterone 46.2 and beta went from 2142 to 7231 in 6 days. Doctor very happy, but still no symptoms.

That's great news jjbubbles!! Hoping my scan Monday is just as good. Been a week since I had my last beta. But in 7 days it went from 328 to 4611. My progesterone was 46 at 4 weeks. But I'm cramping. And that worries me!!

Good luck Sophie!

I have had symptoms but not as many as I did when pregnant with my DD. Booked a private scan because I just didn't belive that I was pregnant! Baby was measuring 9 weeks 3 days and having a right little wriggle with a perfect heartbeat! Had another scan a week later measuring at 11 weeks, baby is doing fine but I'm still so worried!
