Worried about miscarriage

Rachel010110 · August 2010

I am now 11 weeks 2 days along in this pregnancy. My first pregnancy ever resulted in a miscarriage in April 2010 at 11 1/2 weeks. In a couple days I will be at the same point. I just had a dr. appt. 2 days ago at 11 weeks and ultrasound went great, we could hear baby's heartbeat and the baby actually measured 11 weeks 5 days, but I am still worried that I will miscarry again. Doctor said it shouldn't happen again, but it's impossible to get rid of the worry! I think once I start to feel the bump coming up I will stop worrying...just wondering if any of you have started to feel your bump?

I don't know if you ever stop worrying you might lose the baby after a loss. I know I held my breath until I got past the point where I lost our first pregnancy. Then I held my breath until the first ultrasound. Then I held my breath until they found the heartbeat with the doppler.

You always worry but as you get past each milestone it gets easier to reassure yourself that everything is going OK.

With my 1st I worried constantly and I hadn't had a m/c. Obivously now that I have had a m/c and IF to boot, I worry constantly. Sorry I know that wasn't a helpful thing to say, but it's true. I don't think you ever stop worrying about your kids, in utero or not. Worry comes with the territory, at least for me it does.

i am past the point of my m/c but i still worry. i dont think that will go away, or the checking for signs. but each good drs appointment helps ease the worry for a few days. so thats what im doing a few days at a time. i still cant buy anything for this baby yet.

I still can't buy anything for the baby either. I probably won't until I start showing a bit. It would just be too disappointing to buy a bunch of stuff and then miscarry again. I'm feeling really good about this pregnancy though, so hopefully I'll get there soon!

I found out I m/c'ed at 11w4d, also in April. I am looking forward to that date as a milestone to pass. So far with this pg, everything has been good with no reason thinking I should lose this baby, too. Also, since mine was a missed m/c, I know that my baby was gone long before we found out. Although I don't know exactly when the heart stopped beating, I feel pretty sure that I'm past that point anyway and that's exciting to me.

I think we're always going to be a little nervous about m/c, but as we get further along, hopefully it will get easier and those fears will subside.

I know it is so hard not to worry, but there is no reason to believe that this pregnancy won't end in a beautiful healthy baby. I had a m/c in February 2008 and a healthy baby boy in February 2009. I really stopped worrying so much when I could feel DS move around and kick. I mean you will always worry about your baby, but it helped when I could feel him moving around.

I will be 11 weeks 4 days tomorrow which is when I miscarried last time. I will be so relieved when I get past this weekend! Everything is still feeling really good, so I'm optimistic.
