I am so Scared

[orangeapple]

Had a M/C 3 months ago ... that was our first baby. We were so happy and excited and shared the news with our families. At 5 weeks, the baby stopped growing and I M/C. That was the hardest time of my life!

After waiting past 2 periods, I found out I am 1-2 weeks pregnant. But yesterday I suddenly got some sharp pains in my shoulders after I went for a light jog (as I do regularly). I am freaking out because last time when I M/C I got sharp pains in the shoulders too

Went to the doc yesterday but need to do a couple of blood tests to see if I am still pregnant. He said shoulder pain is usually not a symptom of M/C. That made me feel a teeny bit better ... but I am still very scare.

I shouldn't have jog ...

The good thing is that my shoulder pain is gone today ... but my lower back is sore and all ... you know, the feeling just before you period is about to come? Is this normal?????

Sigh, I am so worried. Any symptom drives my crazy now. I don't know how I can get through this ...

it's totally normal to get period cramping early on since your uterus is prepping for the pregnancy and starting to expand. Try to not stress too much but also try to take it easy!

Best of luck, keep us updated!

Thanks. I am really really hoping that everything is fine.
I hate the wait, but I am also very nervous about the answer *sigh*
Thank you for putting me at ease - at least so I can enjoy the weekend!

the waiting is the worst!! FX'd for you and keep up the happy thoughts!

Hm, shoulder pain can be a symptom of ectopic pregnancy. Make sure your doctor keeps an eye on you to rule it out although the pain could of course be from the exercise (pregnancy does funny things to our body). Hoping all is well and this pregnancy is a successful one xxx

Yes, petitpas, that's what I was worried about too. Shoulder pain can indicate an ectopic. Please have yourself monitored closely, and don't hesitate for one second to go be seen. It can be a life or death situation.

Thanks ... got two blood tests over the weekend and is now waiting for results to see if I am even still pregnant.

I do still feel period cramps ... and aches here and there. Shoulder pain didn't come back ... only that one day ... *fingers crossed*

I hope all goes well with you
