No symptoms and scared!

[SnLeigh]

Hi lovely ladies,
I hope you're all well.
I am pregnant after a missed miscarriage in October, I had one AF and am now pregnant again. I am over the moon, as is hubby, but I am so so so scared that this is going to end badly again.
I went for a scan last week at my EPU as I had very slight pink spotting, they scanned me and said all looked well. There was a 7mm gestation sac with a 3mm yolk sac seen and they estimate 4-5 weeks pregnant. They want me to go back a week today to hopefully see progress.
In the meantime I have convinced myself that it's all over, that it just has to be. I don't feel nearly as sick as last time, not that it ended well. And the only symptoms I have are sore boobs and tiredness. I don't even need to urinate more.
I think I am now in week 5 or 6 so shouldn't I be feeling like that by now?
I would love to hear from anyone with their expereinces as I literally can't fucntion or think about anything else. I am so worried.

There are so many of us on this thread that are going through the same thing/same thoughts. I will tell you that everyone pregnancy is different and while some may have horrible symptoms, others have none and have completely normal/healthy pregnancies. I'm with you- I have essentially convinced myself that this pregnancy will end just like the others. I think it's too hard for us to be happy and excited just to have it dashed. For maybe a little piece of mind- what you have described sounds completely normal and not alarming. I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months.

Thank you so much for answering and letting me know that I am not alone in feeling like this!
Have you had any early scans done or anything?
Lots of luck and healthiness to you too!

I had HCGs done very early and they were normal. My first scan is this Tuesday and I should be 7 weeks 2 days then.

I don't get HCG's done, maybe it's because I'm in the uk.
I bet you are excited about the scan? Will be thinking of you!

My first pregnancy I had loads of symptoms, swollen, sore boobs, needing to wee all the time, spots, tiredness, the lot! Sadly that ended in MC at 6w in July.
Then, I got pregnant again straight away, no AF and had hardly any symptoms at all. I honestly didn't think I was pregnant. Then at 9w the MS started! I had acute MS which lasted until 19w!!

So I'm sure this is your sticky bean, your chances are really high so soon after a MC and you sound exactly the same as me symptom wise and I got my sticky!

Good luck and try to think positively!

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. You must be so happy to be 19 weeks and all being well so far. Congratulations!!

It's reassuring to hear that someone else felt awful last time but not the same this time. I keep telling myself that if my body reacted to pregnancy like that once then surely it would do the same the next time.
I have my 2nd scan next Thursday, 7 whole more sleeps to go. My husband keeps telling me to be positive but it is so hard, I was naive in thinking all was fine last time, miscarriage didn't cross my mind so to find out at the scan was such a shock.
I am praying that this time there is a heart beat.
Lots of best wishes to you x

Just seen you're 23 weeks, even better!

I know those first few weeks are so scary.
I managed to stay positive by telling myself that whatever happens, I will get through it. What will be will be and my worrying and stressing is not good for me or baby!
Basically hun, it's out of your hands now, so there's no point upsetting yourself.
Just look after yourself, get plenty of rest and try to relax.
