question from 1st tri...

megz796 · December 2009

I was just wondering...my DH and I heard and saw the heartbeat at 6w1d and I know they say that the risk of m/c goes down after you hear it. But I can't keep from still worrying a tiny bit although so far everything has been great. I guess what I'm asking is, how did all of you feel once you saw and heard the heartbeat? Or did you keep worrying a little bit until you hit your 2nd tri?? TIA!!

I still worry every single day! But, that's just me. I find it helps to talk to people and to hear that other people have some of the same concerns/problems that I do! I think it's just part of being a mom!

I am 17 weeks along and STILL worry. It will never go away. We didnt hear the HB until 11 weeks, while it does allow you to have a HUGE sigh of relief, there is always something to worry about it seems! :-)

There are worries on every tri, just different ones.

We saw our HB at 7w2d and it was 180, which my doctor said was fantastic for that point. She said that at that point that the chance of a m/c was less then 2%...I relaxed once that number came out.

Relieved, but still worried. I couldn't wait to hit 2nd tri. And when I did, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. Now I was still worried (still am to be honest)but, I'd always take things one day a time and think positive things. .

You feel a lot better after you start to feel LO move but even then you worry.

I kept worrying a little, and I still do. It's completely normal. Look at it this way, you worry about them while you are PG, you worry about them after they are born for the rest of their lives!

I read somewhere that your risk of M/C after hearing the heartbeat is only a few % points higher than when you are in your 2nd tri. That being said, I still worried, but I still worry even today and I am sure that will continue even when the baby is born. I think it is natural when you are a mom.

I still hold my breath every time they are trying to find the heartbeats. I think it's inevitable to worry until you have your baby in your arms and can see and feel that they are safe. Having had a m/c, I went into this pg allowing myself to worry, but making the conscious decision that it wasn't going to a controlling factor. That balance of allowing myself to worry only to a point has really helped me so far.

I didn't worry constantly, but I certainly had a little bit of worry throughout the entire thing. Every milestone (every time we heard the heartbeat, whatever), was reassurance, but until she was born, I was still aware of what could go wrong with pregnancy. Then, after she was born, for a long time every time I would wake up in the night I would go over just to watch her breathing to be sure all was OK.

I guess what I'm getting at is that there is always something to worry about, as long as it's not consuming you, don't worry about the worry, anyway. Just take from each milestone the comfort you can.

This for me!

We saw the heartbeat around the end of 7 weeks and it made me feel better (to know there was really a live baby in there) but I didn't feel truly relieved until my 13 week appointment when we heart the heartbeat on the doppler and could start announcing to everyone. Since then we've been much more relaxed and low-key and just trying to enjoy every day of this pregnancy! I know it's hard in your early first tri, and worrying is totally normal, but try to enjoy it a bit too. At this point you can't prevent a m/c and all you can do is take it one day at a time and love your baby

The worrying never ends and I hear it only gets worse when the LO is here. There is nothing you can do to prevent m/c so try not to worry about it.

Totally this!! And I agree with everyone else, my worrying never really stops and I always get so anxious right before my next appt... wondering if I'll hear that sweet little hearbeat again. My next appt is next Thursday, and I can't wait to get that confirmation again! I posted something like this before and loved everyone's advice... try to relax and just enjoy being PG, worrying isn't going to change anything... GL to you
