Just can't shake this feeling

[nats77]

I went for a early scan yesterday 6+1 and I was lucky enough to see my baby's heart beat. Yet I cannot shake this feeling that something is going wrong 😢 I have had quite bad pains for 3 weeks last few days they have been worse and a few days ago my hpt's started getting lighter. Yet at scan yesterday all seems to be perfect! Why can't I just go with that and be happy?
If my hcg levels were falling would baby's heart of stopped already? Or is there still a chance this could happen??
I am not testing again or getting second bloods done as the sonograper said there was no need to. First bloods were at 17448 I was 6 weeks exactly the day they were drawn. These numbers seem fine.
I'm just so scared of losing this one as well I can't think of anything else 😢 xx

You should research the hook effect. It might explain your pregnancy tests.

I have read about it but I don't think that's what was happening with me, I won't know now till I go back for a scan at 8 weeks but it just seems such a long time to wait when u have a bad feeling I might call my consultant and see if I can get another scan next week if I can't shift this feeling xx

I know exactly how you feel hun, but don't worry you will eventually begin to loosen up. I am now 16 weeks with a history of 2 MC's but I still panick that something will go wrong, every scan I have been to I can't help but think that they are going to tell me 'sorry'.

I have started to relax a little bit and actually begin to look forward to things and get excited but It is still a reserved feeling.

I wish you a happy & healthy pregnancy

I'm with you on this, I had a scan last week at 6w3d and was wondering the same about hcg levels dropping, as my nausea was bad for 5 days and then improved, its still there just not as bad, but ive been avoiding meat, so it could be that...i dont know. also, with the HB...does it suddenly stop or does the bpm gradually drop. I've got another 8 days until my next scan and just praying everything is ok.

I know how you feel...I went to bed crying tonight. I had a MMC earlier this year and it scares me to death to think of it happening again. I think since you heard a heartbeat though that's very positive.

Hi ladies, I'm back on these forums after over a year of self-imposed exile and I just wanted to give my experience on PAL and that horrible uneasy feeling.

For me, I didn't stop worrying until that squishy little bundle was placed on me after labour, and even then I was so drugged up I didn't really believe it (she then peed on me, twice, which kind of woke me up...). I hated every second of my pregnancy because I was terrified it would go wrong, but feeling like that when PAL is normal and a persons way of protecting themselves from further bad news. I bled at 5 and 7 weeks as well, and my hormone levels were monitored weekly until 12 weeks which made the fear worse, but I just tried to remind myself that the Dr and midwife were happy with the rising figures so all was ok.

I hope all of you get the shiny happy US results you all deserve, and a happy and healthy 9 months

Aww thanks dotty, it's always nice to hear other peoples experiences.
I am now 8+2 and my last scan at 7+3 was just perfect!! So praying that all stays that well and this rainbow continues to grow xxx
