Obsessing over miscarriage

JenLaverty81

I can't stop. I'm trying to stop myself from going to buy enough pregnancy tests to test every week until I see a heartbeat. Unfortunately this is how my anxiety rears its ugly head. Any suggestions for peace of mind?

First of all, I'm sure we all don't want to have a miscarriage, and a lot of us have some kind of anxiety about it.

I understand the whole peeing on tests thing, really I do, I do it, too. But there comes a point where even if you have a missed m

Hi! I'm in the same boat you are. I had a non viable pregnancy last month so I'm extra anxious. For me I'm trusting God will see me through and carry me through these next months bc I can't do it alone! :

You're acting insane.  And sorry to break it to you but seeing a heartbeat doesn't mean you're in the clear either.  Just calm down and relax.  The odds of miscarriage are very high, but the odds of having a healthy baby are higher.

You are right "take one day at a time" today, I am expecting a beautiful baby and whether that is true or not tomorrow, life goes on.

I needed to hear that, thanks!

I understand those thoughts and that obsession.  I have had a miscarriage and it doesn't make it any easier.  However, I have made it my goal to be positive and dwell on those thoughts.  When I read a statistic that says "15% of pregnancies

Thank you everyone! I know I can get through this, and love the perspective that I have an 85 chance of a healthy baby! DH likes that perspective too, and promised we will get through whatever comes our way. This forum is a huge help.

Don't stress too much, but also understand that everyone copes in their own way. I too pee on multiple tests. I lost my first baby on valentines day and I am EDD for November 21 now : but I too am very stressed and worried. But for me buying some cheap do

Sweety you need to stay calm and let your body do its work. I have one live child, a 5 week miscarriage and a second trimester 16 week loss. I am now pregnant again and yes it certainly scary but there is nothing you can do at this point if you were to mi

Try not to think about it.  Seriously, you can see a heart beat and still worry if you let yourself.  I lost my little girl in the second trimester, long after her heart started beating.  I understand the anxiety, but literally there is not

I have had a miscarriage before. Those tests can be useless. Just try to be positive. It is what I do. Remember, 20 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage which means that 80 percent don't. Focus on that 80 percent.

Take as good as care of yourself as you can - physically and mentally. I suggest yoga, walking, eating healthy stuff and reading some fun, lighthearted books. Try to focus on the positive, such as the love you are feeling for your baby, and how exciting t

Thanks to you both, but truth is.... If I'm being irrational I need to know. I have nothing to compare these feelings to and don't know anyone that has decided to stay on class c meds. this forum is the only place I feel comfortable right now talking abou

I agree with the other posters on here. I know it's hard and I know it's scary, but you need to stop using the sticks. The stress isn't good for you at all. The looming risk of miscarriage is always frightening, but it doesn't mean it WILL happen. I've ha

Try to calm down and relax and occupy your mind with other things like exercise, healthy eating, being excited and planning for your life with this baby. Being a PgALer myself and someone who saw a heartbeat at 8 weeks, is extremely healthy, exercises has
