So I got my BFP last Wednesday after returning from abroad, I am 7 weeks today and its been a crazy week to say the least!! with a late period and feeling just not right, I went out straight after landing bought a test and took it. Shocked and in total disbelief I took a clear blue digi to confirm it. I was due to get knee surgery and had an appointment to see my surgeon the following day. I told him my news and he told me surgery would need to be prosponed until after I had the baby as he wont put me under general anaesthetic whilst pregnant. Now the shock has wore off I am totally worried and stressed about all the things I shouldnt have done and worried that would of had an effect on the baby. Prior to going on holiday I had successfully stopped smoking for 4 months. I also had MRI scans and X-rays whilst unknowingly being pregnant. Whilst on holiday I was drinking alcohol, drinking high levels of caffeine, smoking and taking tramadol for my knee pain. Obviously since finding out I am pregnant I have stopped consuming alcohol, cut my caffeine levels down and stopped taking tramadol. I am still smoking but I plan to stop that on Thursday. I have been suffering with very unpleasant withdrawals from what I assume is from stopping the tramadol diarrhoea, chills and constant sneezing not to mention the knee pain which has got worse but needs must. I have been getting cramps and twinges and have backache mainly on the right side but occasional twinges in the left side and I am freaking out each time I go to the toilet checking when I wipe. Im worried and stressed about a miscarriage as I never had these cramps or twinges with my 1st child or at least I cant remember them in the first trimester and I certainly wasnt this worried with my 1st. The cramps and twinges can last anything between seconds to minutes some stronger than others. Im so worried and stressed so have decided to book a 8 week private scan... I am also terrified about the scan... I feel like I cant be happy or enjoy this pregnancy for fear of something going wrong. It doesnt help I feel like I have no one to turn to for reassurance as I have another couple of weeks until I first see a midwife... I think its terrible how long you have to wait before seeing a midwife it was never like this with my son. Has anyone else experienced these cramps and twinges accompanied with backache? Is it anything to be concerned about?
