Anyone else paranoid?

Anyone else paranoid about miscarraige? My mom said it never even crossed her mind when she was pregnant but I seem to be wary of every little symptom at 10 weeks (e.g. when I go 4 hours without feeling sick)..how can I get over this and what are some ways to prevent miscarraige?

Thank you!!

Im trying not to think about miscarraige.? I figure it's one of those things that is going to happen or not.? I have no control over it, so why worry about it?? Of course it's in the back of my head, but I wanna enjoy these first stages of pregnancy, and if it is a healthy one, I don't wanna look back and say " Man where did those first weeks go, I was terrified and don't remember"? But that's just me!

Oh, and I'm pretty sure you can't prevent a miscarraige, but I could be VERY wrong!

Early on my SO made me quit reading so many books and researching the internet because I would get so stressed out about miscarriage, ectopic, etc.  The paranoia has subsided, though.  I feel as though I am doing everything my Dr. tells me to do and if anything happens, it was God's will.

I'm more than 12 weeks & we just had our first tri-screening on Monday & the dr. assured us everything is perfect but the fear doesn't go away- especially if you have m/c in the past. (I've had two) I thought it would once I hit the "magical 12 weeks" but it doesn't. As condescending as it sounds, try to relax & have faith!

I am paranoid all the time too!!  I try not to think about it so much, but it's just scary!

I am definitely paranoid. I have had two m/c in the last 12 months. I had a little discomfort and called the dr to make sure it was normal. I was pretty sure it was but I was way hormonal and just paranoid. With my last two pregnancies, I had discomfort which lead to cramping which then lead to a m/c. I went in and they listened for the heartbeat. That definitely reassured me everything was doing great. Just try to stay positive!

As far as "preventing miscarriage" goes there is very little you can do (beyond the obvious)- don't smoke/ don't drink!

I was terrified in the beginning but everyone else is right. 

Blair has a perfect theory on this (just a paraphrase), you can't save a bad pregnancy and it's hard to shake a good one.

So, now, I'm trying to just enjoy it and I'll deal with bad news if it comes.

by being paranoid your stressing yourself out.. relax, if it happens, you will deal with it than. live in the moment and enjoy your pregnancy now because as of now, you are pregnant.

I am definitely paranoid about it but i have been trying not to think about it and just let things me, i'm feeling pretty good other then my boobs and being tired, no spotting or anything so I figure thats all good signs....

the weeks between my bfp and first appointment and ultrasound are torture for me, especially since i've had one loss.  once i see the heartbeat (i.e. get past the point where my loss happened) i'm usually ok.  i just pray, pray and pray some more!

OMG, I am beyond paranoid right now for some reason. I go for my first u/s in 2 days, and I am just a nervous wreck. Yesterday, DH & I started watching Marley & Me...bad idea!!! I made him turn it off at the part where she was 10 weeks and they didn't see/hear anything at the Dr.'s office, so I have no idea how it ends. I am just freaking out, although I have no reason to believe anything is wrong. Ahhh....I guess I will just have to make it these next 2 days....

I have actually banned myself from even looking at my TP. I was turning in to a neurotic mess. Someone last month said her mother told her if the baby was going to stick, there was nothing she could do to get rid of it. If it wasn't going to stick there was nothing she could do to keep it. That is what stays in my head now. It helps.

I am, but then again, I just had one last month.  I'm always concerned whether or not I'm feeling enough.  Like the others said though, if it's going to be okay it will be if it's not, then it's just as well to find out now rather than months from now.

I'm still nervous though.

Hey hun!!

I'm VERY PARANOID!!!!!!

I've had one m/c before and I don't ever want to experience it again.  No mommy-to-be wants that.  But it's hard not to worry.  My first m/c was at 5wks 3day.  Once I got past that point and had a u/s to confirm the pregnancy I was ok.

The worst thing you can, and I'm guilty of it, is to read blogs about m/c or missed m/c it will only make you worry more.  Stress is something that we don't need through the entire pregnancy.  But it's hard to get away from it.  Alot of women here, made valid points.  If the pregnancy is viable and everything is fine, you'll go to term.  If there is a problem, then you will not.

Just like the Dr. said on tv the other day, as women when we become pregnant we hope and want the perfect pregnancy and perfect labor, but the reality of it is that, that is not always possible.  All we can do is have hope and pray that our baby will be fine.

As hard as it is, try not to worry.  Try to put your mind on something else for awhile and just take care of yourself.

I was told I had one at 5 weeks (and I didnt)

ever since they I have been extremely paranoid.... especially since I have a complication and was on bed rest for a month. Now that Im off  and able to move around Im so worried, My symptoms are decreasing (but Im almost at 2nd tri so that is normal) but I still get the nagging fear everyday! .... and I dont have another u/s until April 23rd.

I totally am even though I don't think I have any reason to be.  I think it's just natural to worry about the little thing you're carrying around.  We all hope it's going to go well and we all want happy healthy babies!

amjayasuriya

Thanks guys...it helps to know that a lot of other women are like this too!!! And that like you said, a good pregnancy is hard to shake but one with problems will be what it will be..

 Will go to pray more now....

 Take care all of you!!!

I am paranoid until I get my first ultrasound on the 22nd of this month. It seems like forever! Once I see my little bean in there I should be okay. Although I am more paranoid about having twins again. My BFP was so dark early... Ahh! lol I am excited though. Good Luck with your pregnancy.
