7 weeks preggy and going depressed

hi all Mummys! I am new here. Just not long ago, i found out that i was pregnant. This is my first pregnancy and it was unplanned. My bf and I decided to keep it and getting married soon. Things went on fine for the first few days when i was 5+ weeks. Soon i arranged for a scan as i was spotting at my 6 weeks. The gynae wasn't very reassuring. He immediately said I gotta be admitted to east shore under his private patient and ask me to prepare 2k cash. I was freaked out that time and we said its alright. We monitor first. He gave me oral progesterone to be taken 3 times, 3 hourly. So he went on to do a scan. At my 6weeks, i only saw a empty gestational sac without the yolk sac in it. I was very very worried cos i read from forum it should at least see a yolk sac. But i comfort myself thinking that that gynae uses a very old u/s machine. Looks more like a bladder scan to me.

At my 7weeks I decided to switch gynae. Did the scan with the gynae and he managed to detect my bb's heartbeat and my bb was dated to be 7 weeks 2days. Still, I am very worried. I just don't wanna lose my baby. Maybe I really love my bf and I treasure his child a lot. And today, to my horror, i found myself spotting again accompanied with stomach cramps! I quickly rushed down to my gynae and he did a pelvic examination and a transvaginal scan and said my baby was fine. Heartbeat still present. The problem is now, I don't think I am fine. I am worried that I might lose my baby in the next few days. I don't believe what the gynae says. I am going into depression. I can't sleep at night and I am feeling sad all the times. Anyone going through the same thing as me?

Hey shinystar

Don't think too much or get urself all worried or stressed, it will affect ur bb....right now the only thing u need is plenty of rest and just be happy abt ur pregnancy.....

Talk it out with ur bf and family and get their support if possible....

im sure you will be fine. you have to put on strong willpower to pull this through. believe in yourself and you have to stay happy and cheerful so your baby will feel it and baby will also grow happily.

since u have frequent spottings, you have to rest more and ask for some pills from your gynae to improve your health condition.

lastly, dont think so much on the negative side ok. you have got to be a happy mum so you will have a happy baby~! =)

Don't think too much, I am in my week8, having spotting since week 6 too and for almost 1week, now on and off still has abit.. i think it's quite common during early trimester, Doc told me, it might be some "leftover" implantation blood. Try to walk lesser, don't squat, rest well drink water and always remember doc's duphaston and folic acid. You will be fine.
I am also like you worry day and night, but since doc already assured, just believe doc and yrself :)
For me i feel quite terrible after duphaston nausea all the time but every individual is different ..

Try not to stress yourself and worry too much.
I was bleeding in my initial 9 weeks of pregnancy... Literally my whole panty liner is wet with one gush... Had thought I had some cysts problems initially & didn't know I was pregnant until I went to see a Gynae at about 7weeks.

Talk to ur bf or supportive family members about ur fears & hope they can give u the support & assurance u need. Take care & diverse more!

you're just over thinking it, don't be so paranoid about it. Depression could be the one that may lead you into sickness.
