Cramps etc... !need advice ASAP! First baby!

[Toninick123]

Hi all. Feeling a bit concerned (probably paranoid) but I have just recently found out I am pregnant. I've been very tired and had symptoms and fortunately I have tested positive on several tests 😊 April this year I went through a very sudden but early miscarriage and I feel slightly worried and paranoid that it may happen again. I am currently only 4-5 weeks pregnant but for the past few days I have had strong cramps , similar to pre menstrual or the cramps I had during miscarriage. There has been no blood but often I have had more discharge than normal and tonight I had a feeling that it was blood but rushed to toilet and it seems to be something like a watery substance with no colouring, it's almost like a smell of perm lotion (for hairdressing) that's the only way I can describe it. My pants have soaked through and I am just worried incase this is abnormal. Apologies for the grousom details but as you can see I am slightly paranoid and worried incase it's something more. If anyone has ever came across anything like this in early stages please let me know. Thanks!

Hi, I didn't want to read and run.

Cramps can be totally normal, I had really horrid cramps with my first pregnancy to the point they thought it might be ectopic, this was about 5-10'weeks I think. Pregnancy was totally fine and I have a healthy little boy.

Not sure about the discharge though but some people do get increased discharge

Cramps and extra wetness seem normal in early pregnancy. I had both. Still get the extra discharge on some days. I can appreciate your worry though, but it seems from what you're describing that you're having pretty normal symptoms of early pregnancy. Will you get an early scan due to previous MC Hun? Might put your mind at ease. x

Increased discharge was my confirmation of pregnancy before I even tested. It comes and goes for the first 12 weeks and then it stays and gets worse and worse. It can sometimes feel like sudden bleeding. When sat on the loo for a morning wee, you can sometimes feel a glob escape into the pan (like a blood clot when with af).
Cramps are normal. I still get period cramps now and did with my lb too.

Thanks to all replies! Puts my mind at ease as I have no clue what to expect and what's normal or a problem! Such a relief to know that things are hopefully going well this time round. I'm such a worrier and I feel like it won't be officially real until I see a scan. I'm unsure I'm going to phone for my appointments on Monday so I will make sure they know about last time and see if they put me for early one or not, sort of hope they do so that I can see what's going on &I start to get properly excited again. it's all very new to me so I appreciate everything being said, thanks!! Xx

Yes, definitely inform them of your previous MC and how stressed and worried you are feeling and hopefully you will get an early scan. Tri 1 is such a worry eh. I have all crossed for you that you will have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Let us know how you get on. x

I had cramps from the day I got my bfp at 5 weeks till I was about 10-12 weeks. I also had a lot more discharge than normal too. I now have a 7 month old baby so try not too worry x

Hey! All sounds ok, worry if u see any bleeding but even that can be ok. Defo let them know about ur mc, i was given an early scan at 6 weeks because of it which was reassuring and got to see hb xx
