I’m 4 weeks pregnant and my dog barked like a madman at midnight, woke me up, and I jumped out of bed in a crazy fright. Turns out she had only been hearing a doorbell on the tv.
My heart was racing and I lost my breath for a minute and I triggered some cramps (not super painful and they kinda are easily triggered in my opinion) for maybe a minute (I’ve been cramping a ton regardless).
No bleeding or spotting.
I felt totally fine within like 2 minutes, other than being super emotionally frustrated and upset.
Can a sudden Brief shock like this cause a miscarriage? Im feeling really anxious now.

Now I'm crying at work- thanks a lot! If I get caught I'll just chalk it up to hormones (due in 4 weeks with baby #2).
Seriously, that's really beautiful. You'd think that these sentiments would be more widely expressed but not in my experience. Any input I've gotten from friends has been not to "give up" and have a RCS. I'm tempted to repost this link on FB and tell them what to do with their (mostly) uninformed opinions.
That is a fantastic post.
Cut me open, indeed!
