Today I am 7 weeks, two days. Yesterday I started feeling what seemed like contractions. This had me very worried, because the same thing happened last time when I had a miscarriage. I am trying not to worry about it. It doesn't seem to be getting crampier or more frequent. I am telling myself that as long as I don't see any blood, all is well. Also, it is likely that what I am feeling is the result of gas and constipation. I still have all my pregnancy symptoms (which, for me, is not much to begin with).
I have debated going to the doctor. She could do a transvaginal ultrasound and put my worries to rest. On the other hand, I had a transvaginal ultrasound last time at about 7 weeks and was diagnosed with a blighted ovum. Then I had to sit around for four agonizing days wondering if maybe my dates were wrong. I had two ultrasounds and lots of blood tests, but in the end, I ended up losing my baby. If I am going to have a miscarriage this time, the doctor won't be able to do anything to prevent it. So I am trying to relax and just focus on what I have control over...taking good care of myself.
