Hi, first of all, don't be sorry for posting - you can post anytime and it's better to talk about your worries than keeping them bottled inside. There's a reason there's a pre-diagnosis section here. It's hard waiting to find out whether you have cancer or not, especially when experiencing ongoing symptoms. Your feelings are valid. There will always be someone who has a bigger problem. Just like how if someone was happy about something little, you wouldn't say to them 'there are people going through way better than you'.

I know this is very terrifying but the FIT test just means that you have rectal bleeding which you already knew. So many things can cause rectal bleeding like piles, fissures etc. It is also reassuring that your test was slightly raised, meaning that there wasn't much blood. It is still good that you got yourself checked just incase and you should update your GP if you get new symptoms/ if they persist. The chances of it being cancer at your age are low but I know it's easy to think the worst, especially when you have health anxiety and just want to enjoy your pregnancy.

Also if self help for health anxiety isn't working, I suggest you go to your GP. It's hard enough to go through symptoms and wait for a referral, let alone have to deal with health anxiety making you think the worst.
