First pregnancy and first forum...ever!
After TTC for over 6 years (PCOS), we're finally pregnant. Everything is going great so far, two ultra sounds (at 6 weeks & 8 weeks), showed good growth and heartbeats. I have a decent amount of nausea, fatigue and breast soreness, but I still can't shake the miscarriage worries. My mom says this is just the start of worrying the rest of my life! I'm trying to reach a sense of peace and faith but still feel anxiety that everything is progressing well. I feel like I'm watching the clock every minute, anticipating my next Dr. visit in two weeks. I'd consider getting a Doppler but I'm worried that if I couldn't hear the HB that's I'd freak. I'm not usually a worry wort, it's just we've tried so long and I'm already 37.
I'm pretty confident that most other mamas early in pregnancy have these same worries but for those of you who've done this before, how do you put those fears to rest and enjoy the pregnancy?

Re: First pregnancy and first forum...ever!
Wow congrats and welcome to the Board!
I try and stay positive, the thought is always in the back of my mind, but if it happens there is nothing I can/could do to prevent it....
Welcome and good luck! I hope this is your sticky baby!
I definitely do not have any advice on how not to worry because I feel the same exact way as you... I am constantly counting down the days to my next doctors appointment. I also have PCOS and am afraid of miscarriage. I'm hoping to relax a lot after the 1st trimester!
Edited: Sorry my computer had some momentary freak out and copied this multiple times. Please ignore this one.
Try to make another ticker and copy the top one, then go to "my bump" and "avatar and signature" and paste it at the bottom for signature.
Welcome and congratulations!! I've had 4 miscarriages in about a year and a half. It's hard not to worry. When I cramp it freaked me out. Now I just tell myself, I want to cramp. Cramping is normal. Cramping means my body is growning like it should. I just have to have those little moments in my head where I logically explain to myself how it's ok. Then I move on.
I'm exactly 10 weeks with the same due date!
