Considering EPAU

[sarah120281]

So I've posted before about period cramps during early pregnancy, I don't know if I'm focusing on this more cos. Worried or what but still getting period pains today not terrible painful. But enough to worry me. I wish I could get some HCG tests to see if my levels look good but don't think they do them here. Seems to be more something used in USA. I am thinking shall I go to epau tell them my concerns and my risks to miscarry on blood thinners see if they test my levels for me. I just don't feel settled at all. I feel like I'm going to lose this one too like the 3 in 2015 X

I'm 4 weeks today so still early too early for a scan

Considering how early you are, I think it's very unlikely they would see you and you would need to call first, opposed to just turning up. Cramps are very, very common and very, very normal at this stage and for many weeks yet.

I know it's hard not to worry but cramps are very normal and I have them now at 16 weeks! It's such a worrying time I appreciate that having has losses of my own. 4 weeks is very early yet hun and what you're feeling might just be everything settling in and bedding down. X

Yeah I know I think it's cos cramps played a part in my MCs maybe cramps are part of normal pregnancy changes as well as MCs. Hopefully I'll get past this and can get a scan later down the line x

I always thought blood thinners could help prevent miscarriage? Cramps are defo normal but I know how worrying it is xx

I completely understand, I had cramps before I lost in March and I am terrified of every cramp I get with this one. I am only 5.5 weeks and I had strong cramps all through my pubic bone today and still having mild cramps now. The more I stress the worse it seems to get so I am trying to ignore it. I know it is easier said than done but just relax, whatever is happening is out of your control either way, that's how I see it so just let nature take her course. I am sure it is nothing, but you can't make anything better through working yourself up. Try to take your mind off it by doing something else if you can otherwise it is going to be a long 9 months of worry for you xx
