I am 4 week 5 days with a ivf baby, I’m just not having a good time at the moment I’m over analysing everything, am having different types of light cramping most days, achy legs and back... still getting a strong test early hours this morning... think because it’s been so hard to get to this point am just expecting this worse to happen, I just want to enjoy my pregnancy wanted this for so long

I know how you feel. It’s so hard not to analyse everything. It doesn’t look like it to me Lauren95. Just looks like a bit of normal discharge. Just remember you are in the same position as any other pregnant woman now. You’ve got this. X

Thank you, driving myself crazy it’s horrible

Doesn’t look pink just normal cm, slight cramping is normal. The next few week you can drive yourself nuts over thinking I’ve been doing the same and I’ve already had 1 scan at 6w+5 & all was ok but I’ve had 3 mmc at 12w so I feel I have to get past 12w before relaxing abit I’ve booked a private scan for next week I can’t wait 3w. It’s so hard to think all will be ok when it’s took a long time to get here.

I know exactly how you feel. I am almost 36 weeks pregnant and the anxiety and worry is STILL there! 😩 I thought when I reached 12 weeks I would relax...nope. (i did suffer a loss at 11 weeks) then i thought 20 weeks I'll def relax...nope. it's just been non stop and I know it will be there until he arrives and is safe in my arms. We just go through so much it's really unfair that we cant even enjoy our pregnancies. But that looks like normal CM hun so dont worry. All I could do was say to myself that each day that passes is another day closer to meeting my rainbow baby. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly xxx

Try not to worry, impossible I know but that looks like completely normal discharge to me. It’s hard not to overanalyse *everything* I know!

Honestly you are not alone. I cannot tell you how many pictures of tissue I sent to my mum over the first five months of pregnancy with my daughter!

It’s completely normal to be anxious 😊
