Hysteria

phq2011phq2011
in 1st Trimester
So am I alone in being OVERLY cautious? I think I read too much about the potential of miscarriage in the 1st trimester because now I am not even enjoying being pregnant. I am so worried about being that 1 in 3 that lose their first pregnancy that I don't know what to do. I know thinking about it is the worst thing I can do but does anyone have any suggestions or anything that has helped them get through their concerns?

    I'm right there with you, I am always freaking myself out. I had a m/c in August and I am scared to have another one. My DH has banned me from looking up symptoms and what not from Google because I freak out afterwards. Lol

    I did that too until my husband made me stop. Don't stress.. A lot of the miscarriages aren't even known about though.. A lot are chemical pregnancies. Just pray and try to stay positive. You don't want any extra stress.

    I am right there with you.  I just found out that I was pregnant on Saturday, and all I have done since was worry.  I have a closer girl friend that has recently suffered through two miscarriages, and I believe that has my brain going into over drive.  My husband tells me to stop, but I know he feels equally as paranoid.  I wish I could fast forward the next couple of weeks so I can feel a sense of relief!

    I totally feel the same way!  It's not that I'm not enjoying it, I'm afraid to enjoy it, afraid I will bond with this baby and then lose it.  I am also super stressed because I know this really early time is when the formation of all the important organs takes place...any number of things could go wrong right now!  I work at a large children's hospital that deals with the most complicated and rare pediatric issues...thank you for the constant source of fear!   

    I just keep trying to remind myself how many people I know that have normal healthy pregnancies and children...TONS!  I am trying to make sure I am well educated and informed as far as what I can do to be as healthy and safe as possible and other than that, let it out!  That is simply all any of us can do...and pray, and cross our fingers!!  GL!

    Just stop the reading and relax.  You'll just worry yourself.  Think "today I am pregnant and I love my baby"

    My husband made me stop looking too!! 

    The statistics I'd read weren't so high, 10-15% before week 8, which is only one in 6.6-10, so more than double the odds of 1 in 3! I was freaking out all week too though, but I've calmed down now realizing I should be past the point of worry by now.  

    Also I imagine that many of those miscarriages aren't even noticed, since a lot of women just think it's a rough period. I think by the time you realize you're pregnant you're probably mostly out of the woods for miscarriage.
