I think you should go to the doctor. I understand you may be worried but not going to the doctor isn't going to stop a miscarriage happening! On the other hand if there is something not quite right they may be able to help with most problems so you really should go and make sure you and the baby are well.
I had lots of headaches and was sick for the first 3/4 months so that seems normal to me. The urine I have no idea but get it checked and put your mind at rest. Good luck

HOney, I know you're scared in all, but prolonging going to the doctor might only increase your chances of having a mis carriage.. But headaches, fatigue are normal, but I don't know about the cloudy urine, you may be leaking protein or you could have a urine infection, but you need to get checked out. If you really are concerned about your baby's welfare, just call your obgyn, or go up there. Be safe, not sorry. Everything should be fine, and if it is something, it may not be that serious, but you need to know instead of wondering what could it be. I'm not a doctor, but I have good common sense and I'm in tune with my body when something is going on.. I was spotting real light when I was pregnant and I took my *** up to the doctor and it's a good thing I did because they kept me for a few days and I got out on Xmas eve on 2004. So don't worry, think positive, and make a call or make a drive.

I would go and see your doctor, its never too early!!
Sickness, tiredness and headaches are common symptoms of early pregnancy. The cloudy urine could be a sign of a urinary infection, might need you need more water or may just be a result of the pregnancy hormes playing havoc with your body (my urine was bright yellow!)
The good news is that women who have pregnancy sickness are much less likely to miscarry as it shows their hormone levels are high. I suffered terribly with it right through my first trimester and still feel grotty at 35 weeks!
Signs of a miscarriage are more likely to be bleeding, "loss" of any pregnancy symptoms (ie no sickness no sore boobs) and cramping. What you've described doesn't sound like a miscairrage but I'd check it with your doctor anyway.
Congrats on your pregnancy btw!

Tiredness and sickness is normal for your 8 weeks, the headaches come with the tiredness. As for the urine drink more water but try cranberry juice, very good if a urine infection. But i'd see a doctor or a midwife and explain your feelings and express your anxiety in regard to your previous miscarriage, this worry won't be helping, but it must be hard not to fear the worst with your past experience, all the best:)

It doesn't sound too out of the ordinary for early pregnancy. You may have a UTI (urinary tract infection), or you may just need to drink more water. The headaches and feeling sick are probably just from being pregnant. Although, 95% of headaches are caused by dehydration (which also causes nausea). Drink some water, and call the doctor.

Mmm - if it was just tiredness and feeling a little sick, then I say don't worry it's a sign that the pregnancy is taking hold.
With the cloudy urine and the fact that you have had a miscarriage then call you doctor, ask just to speak to them quickly - they will quite often do this in between appointments - they will be able to justify an appointment if it's required or put your mind to rest.

I would think the cloudy urine is either a uti or it's just that you have plenty of the pregnancy hormone in your body (this is what my doctor told me), the feeling tired and sick is normal, but not really sure about the headaches. Good luck!

i am about 13 weeks preganant. in the first few weeks of my pregnancy i noticed cloudy urine(which i continue to have occasionally), and up until a few weeks ago i was sick often(vomiting), as for the headaches i get them sometimes too.you should relax, just because you've had a miscarriage doesn't mean that is what you need to expect.unless you have bleeding or severe pain,you should be fine. but schedule an appointment, it's not too early.Good Luck, i wish you the best

If you had a miscarriage you should not be going to a midwife. I know the advantages and dis-advantages of a midwife I have a daughter myself. It's great if you are in perfect health but if you have already had a miscarriage this year and are now having headaches and cloudy urine it is time to schedule an appointment with an obgyn. Good luck

You could be dehydrated try drinking a glass of water every hour that's what my doc told me to do when i was dehydrated i was dizzy alot had headaches and cloudy urine just like you and sure enough i was dehydrated I dont think it's a miscarriage at all but you still should consult your doc it could be a urinary tract infection cranberry juice can help you out with that plus they will give you medicine for it
