Worry wart

What is it with me?

I'm pregnant.

I feel great.

Must be something to worry about!

The Internet is a wonderful thing, the blogger community is a wonderful example of that. It's not new news though that ignorance is bliss.

I get a weekly email from BabyCentre, which is a great way to track your pregnancy and find out what's going on in there. This week however there was a comment about "your risk" of miscarrige reducing (great!) but click few a few times and your find "missed miscarrige". This is basically a "rare" miscarrige whereby the baby dies, but it is not expelled by the body. It is usually defected at the first scan. Sitting on the train, bored on the way to work I google "no morning sickness". Result: chat rooms galore. Summary? No morning sickness is fine, lucky you, enjoy it etc etc... Having symptoms and then seeing them decline at this stage (8th week): bad... can be a sign of (you guessed it) missed miscarrige.

Now, lucky me hasn't had much sickness. I didn't have it for #1, so I can deal with that. However, weeks 5-7 were filled with sore boobs and early morning trips to the loo. Now my boobs are less tender and I can just about manage 6am before a trip to the bathroom.

Result: utter paranoia. Do I still "feel" pregnant? I don't know! Apart from the two issues above is there ANYTHING to suggest that something might be wrong? No.

So now I sit and wait. I have 5 weeks and aholiday in Spain to get through before my scan. This could be the longest 5 weeks of my life!
