Irrational Fears?
I am very excited to be pregnant! My DH and I couldn't be happier. Getting PG was really easy for us and we feel so lucky! However, I'm finding myself starting to worry about miscarriage. I don't want to get too excited because I'm afraid something might happen. Does anyone else ever think about this? I'm not saying I think about it all the time - most the time I'm too happy to think about it! - but it does cross my mind on occassion. Week 13 can't come soon enough!

Re: Irrational Fears?
Yes, I think it happens to everyone. And everyone will tell you "try not to worry" which is always easier said than done.
The best advice I've received is to cherish the moments you have and appreciate every moment you are pregnant.
It is very normal to worry. But even when you hit week 13, you still have fear. It just changes with every milestone. When I was on first tri, I saw so many ladies that I grew to like, have losses. It was a hard time. So naturally you worry that the same will happen to you. Just try to keep focused on all the positive things that are happening to you right now. Such as the excitement you feel about being pregnant and the life you are growing. If you focus too much on all the what if's, it will be a very long pregnancy for you.
Good luck, and HH 9 months!
How's this for irrational...(TMI to follow)...I was just pooping, and one of the splashes didn't match with a, um, push. I was convinced the baby had fallen out.
Welcome and congrats!! H&H 9 months to you.
Yeah, I definitely feel this way too. ?I was thinking about it as we were telling our family yesterday. ?I found myself telling people and then following it up with - I hope it sticks. ?I do worry but I am trying hard not to. ?I have a cold right now so that is helping me keep my mind off of it for a bit. ?I think it is completely natural to worry. ?But, like a previous poster said, there is really nothing we can do to control it.
Here's to a H&H 9 months for us all!!?
Totally normal to worry!!
I had a m/c before DS, so I was super worried with him. The only thing to think of is worrying doesn't help one way or the other. Of course that makes no difference in your mind. Its ok to worry, but don't obsess over it, Try to enjoy this time!!!
Bwahahahahah.....I am sorry. You know this is flame worthy. But I will not flame it. We all have an irrational fear at least once. Just wanted you to know I am being a good girl and holding back.
You have to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Even with morning sickness. Just know that it will pass...Take it from me..I fear the feeling of being nauseas(sp) and vomitting. Makes me panic for some reason.
But seriously, our bodies are made to create life so just go with it. Yes, we all worry about having a miscarriage but what is meant to be, will be..Think of the positive things and take each day at a time. I sure do now.
