1st Trimester

am i just being paranoid??!

i mc'ed back in Sept. last year and now im just paranoid about everything.

i've been having a really light kind of disturbance in my abdomen, i guess thats the right word for it. I could label it as cramps but they don't hurt one bit. i don't know if this is just me being able to feel where the baby has implanted itself (i'm 8weeks) or if i'm experiencing an eptopic pregnancy, which i would have thought would have been excruciating.

 ALSO i've been having the clear discharge since the beggining of the pregnancy, and the other day i freaked out, because it got slightly heaver than normal and i thought i was starting to bleed. i thought i was loosing this baby too.

I would ask the dr, but my first OB is 3 weeks away. Any advise? am i just being paranoid?

  • call the dr and ask her   no problem with asking the nurse

  • I know its hard to stay calm but the clear discharge is normal. And yes and ectopic would be very painful...and there would be a sharp pain staying to one side of your ovary or the other. I know this b/c they thought I had an ectopic at first. Try to relax and if you are super nervous call your doc and see if they can see you sooner
  • I too have been having back pain and period like cramps...I've been assured they are normal and its just your uterus working to start expanding etc.  I'm super nervous too due to the nature of our past history....but just try to relax..i know its super hard

  • i would lean towards paranoia - which is a symptom of pregnancy.  sorry to hear about your previous loss.  and yes i am pretty sure ectopic pregnancy is pretty painful developing into excrutiating once the embryo develops larger than the tube.

    try to relax and focus on the fact that dispite a previous miscarriage you are far more likely to have a healthy pregnancy than not.  visualize your uterus being the perfect place for nurturing your baby.

    god luck hun.
