Is anyone else petrified?

I can't shake the feeling that this won't stick. I've never miscarried and have no risk of it and two good betas. I've just heard of so many miscarriages IRL and on here and babycenter. It just seems so common. First OB appt with u/s on Monday at 6w3d. Anyone else as scared as me? Ps I have all the symptoms.

That is me exactly!! I'm terrified of something that I have no control over.

I am 4 weeks 2 days, just ogt the bfp on Sunday.

I thought it was just me, feeling like this was too good to be true, especially because I only stopped birth control at the end of august (so maybe I am too lucky and this happened to fast for it to stick). 

I'm glad it isn't just me.

There's always risk, and we're all concerned, but there's no use sitting there and worrying about it. Just live as healthily as you can and enjoy today.

There is nothing all you can do to prevent a miscarriage. Worrying yourself silly is not going to prevent anything so just stop. I know it's difficult from personal experience you just have to keep your self positive.

Thinking of you. Lots of T&P's coming your way.

Thanks everyone. Sending you all positive thoughts. I also feel like it was "too easy" since I have PCOS and they told me I would need fertility treatment but I got pregnant my first month seeing an RE. I don't know why I can't just enjoy it.

Thinking of you. I also spotted around 4 weeks. It only happened one day and then not since. Fingers crossed that its just your little bean getting deep an cozy!

I felt like that with my first despite never having a ms. And I had a ms two months ago, but I am strangely more confident. I think it's because of something someone wrote on this board. In this moment you are pregnant. In this moment, you have a child. Enjoy that.

Am I scared? Yes, but I will not let that consume me. If IF and my m/c taught me anything it's that there is so much we can't control. All we can do is take the hits as they come. I want to spend this time happy and full of hope because god forbid we lose this baby, I will want the time we had together to be a happy time and not full of fear and sadness.

I was frightened during my first (and successful pregnancy) that I would miscarry.  Now, I'm pretty chill about the entire process.  I know there is nothing I can do if something happens.  I'm happy I'm pregnant and trying to enjoy the moment.

I had a miscarriage two years ago at 8wks and I am sure I had another one. I am scared as all get out with this baby but I remember what I told myself a couple of months ago "If I get pregnant again I am not going to worry over everything. I am going to be normal and if the baby sticks then it sticks if not then my grandma has another youngin' to look after up in heaven." 

Its been my mantra for a couple of weeks now! Mine is next tuesday and I'll be 6wks and 2days I believe and its just the family history and blood test I'll be surprised if they do a ultrasound.
