Is anyone else 9 weeks and lost/losing symptoms ? SCARED

[junebabyduex]

So I’m 9+2 today ftm, had a non viable at 19 first time pregnant successfully at 25 now, have had mild symptoms from the start bit of nausea and very tired but both seem to be dying down, breasts went from rock hard swollen and tender to normal, did a pregnancy test today positive line is lighter then the control line, no spotting but mild cramping since week 4 I am so scared , I’ve already had 2 scans and saw heartbeat at 6+6 , don’t want another scan because it’s not good for baby but don’t think I can wait till 12 weeks scan 5th of Dec, might call midwife tomorow and ask for bloods or something, absolutely sick with worry. Partner left me so I’m doing this all alone please someone tell me I’m overreacting

You're not overreacting. Due to what you've been through, it's normal to feel that way. We have lost 2 babies and I'm now 19+4 with out rainbow boy. I had period type pain and cramping in the early stages and each time I was convinced we were losing him.

Why don't you book a private scan between now and your 12 week scan. They wouldn't do it if the risks were high of harming your baby. We booked a private scan in between and I'm so glad we did because it gave us reassurance.

All pregnancies are different. My friend had no symptoms and found out at 21 weeks. I had a few symptoms but most have died down now too. Unless you have any spotting/bleeding try not to worry. If you're quite concerned, contacting your midwife won't do any harm, they're there go support you. Wishing you and your baby well x

Hi. You’re not over reacting. Being pregnant is a wonderful but also very worrying time. Some women have symptoms, some don’t and these symptoms vary throughout the pregnancy. We are all different so try not to compare yourself to others. In regards to your pregnancy test, it’s ok for the positive line to be lighter than the control one. It still counts as positive. I don’t believe that scans are harmful to babies so as another poster suggested, do get a private scan if it will put your mind at ease. If you are worried about anything do speak to your Midwife, family/friends or get support from here.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy x
