6 wks now...after early m/c in October...always worried!

I just got married in September. Then had an early miscarriage at the end of Oct. Now we are 6 weeks pregnant! Crazy thing is that I made an appt back in Oct. for April 6th...on which I will be 6 weeks and a few days pregnant! Crazy huh? Needless to say, I am always worrying. I just can't help it! I am a teacher on spring break, and although I technically don't want this time off to go fast...Friday just can't get here fast enough to ease my mind...at least a little. My symptoms come and go, which freak me out even more. Soooo...moms-to-be...prayers are very welcome...as I hope and pray for a healthy full term baby for all of us!!

Congrats!  I know how it feels to be on edge after a m/c.  I had one in February, and then ended up pregnant right away the next month!  I am now just a few days past where I was when we lost our little one and I am so nervous about every twinge and well...everything! lol  

Praying for a happy & healthy 9 months to you!

Wow...sounds like you and are in exactly the same boat...I am about a week past where I was last time too! Congratulations to you as well!! I can't stop looking for answers or women who are going through the same worries! Even though I wouldn't wish this worry and anxiety on anyone! lol When do you go to the doctor?

Just thought I would chime in to try and help with your worries.

I had an early miscarriage at the end of December of 2010, 3 weeks later in January of 2011 I became pregnant again straight off my miscarriage without my period ever returning.

I was a nervous wreck my whole pregnancy. I don't think I was fully convinced I was actually getting a take home baby until I was in the hospital delivering her. In the end my pregnancy went well and my DD arrived just fine

So my best advice would be to try to relax and enjoy every second of it (I know that's easier said then done)!

GL and H&H 9 months to you!

I can definitely relate!  I am 5 weeks now, and I had a m/c at 7 weeks last September.  So I'm very nervous/paranoid!  I am going to the doctor's in 2 weeks, so hopefully I'll get some much-needed reassurance then.  My thoughts and prayers are with you!

I, too, can relate.  I had a m/c in October and got pregnant again in January.  Being pregnant after losing a baby is tough.  You'll have good days and bad and they will continue past your loss date.  Just try to focus on being happy for being pregnant TODAY.  You can't change the outcome of this baby so as hard as it is not to, don't get yourself all panicked about missing symptoms, differences between last pregnancy and this one, etc.  I hope this is your take home baby!

I hate that anyone can relate yet at the same time it is very reassuring that others have been through this...and there was a happy ending eventually. I'm not sure I will be convinced until we are able to hold our baby:) Thank you so much for chiming in! I really need it. I'm trying not to let on how worried I really am to my husband...I'm usually the one keeping HIM from worrying. Well, anyway...I will create another post after my dr. appt on Friday morning. Thank you for all your well wishes and prayers! It means so much more than you all know!

You just made me cry! And you are sooo right...I lost my mom Nov. of 2009...she is a constant reminder that I can't change that. I just have to remember the Serenity Prayer (which of course always reminds me of her)...not sure if you've heard of it...but it definitely gets me through some really rough times. You're right...I just need to focus on today...and what IS...not what MIGHT be or what WAS. Thank you, I really needed that!
