I can get a private scan done in the Nottingham area. I know I shouldnt drive myself mad but really cant relax at the moment as both my mumand my sister have suffered from missed miscarraiges and blighted ovums. I know there is no hereditary link but ive also been getting regular (although not that painful cramps).

My midwife says that the cramps are normal (which they probably are) and wont refer me to the EPU (I think she thinks im a bit mental!)

Any ideas...or do you think i should just leave it and wait for the 12 week scan...?

I dont know hun, but how much are private scans?

And the cramping is normal..Im getting it now

Ive found a place in b'ham which is 70 quid. Bit too far to travel though just to settle my paranoia!

I know some cramping is normal but mine is pretty constant...its not overly painful though.

I know I should stop stressing and what will be will be but its easier said than done!

I think you should wait. I am sure everything is going to be fine. You are still in early stages so are going to get cramps. I am getting them constantly I painic at every twinge I get but there really is nothing you can do and if it is a keeper then it will stick.

Yeah I know your right but I just done want to get more attached over the next few weeks only to have a negative scan. Right, I will try really hard not to worry about it and see how I feel in a couple of weeks.

I know it is so hard but you are so not alone. If you still feel the same in say 2 more weeks then may be go, you will be able to see a lot more then as well!! xx

Of all the things that I had thought about pregnancy before I got pregnant ie stretch marks, labour etc I never even considered paranoia like this! I suppose I am a worrier anyway so this just makes it worse.

Thanks everybody for not thinking I am a loon!

From what you are describing, your cramping is just like mine was in the early days. My doctor told me that I should only be concerned if it was severe and/or was accompanied by bleeding! Doesn't help much though when it is you going through it does it?! You are not alone, we all have those fears and worries, for the first 14 weeks of my pregnancy I religiously inspected the tissue each and every time I wiped!

Thank god, thought I was the only one!!
