feeling like my heart is breaking and having a nervous break down

kchar008 · December 2013

Had two previous miscarriages and most recently found out I'm pregnant( about 4 weeks according to the docs). Haven't had an ultrasound yet but had my beta levels checked, first one came out 100(low), then again which turned to be going up 230'something and then again last one was 482. Last night my husband and i had intercourse; i loosened up a little because I've had miscarriages before and then today i started spotting. FREAKING OUT!!! Its not heavy at least for now, my doctor immediately got me to start on progesterone and have been laying down these last few hours. I just can't relax right now, because i don't know what to expect. What are my chances that ill have a successful pregnancy this time around? I feel so broken already, just trying to stay calm and lay down for my baby, need a little peace of mind..im hoping to God that things will be okay but i can't help to worry. Please advise, id gladly appreciate it.

I'm sorry but I don't have advice to give, besides TRY to relax... baby can feel your stress even this early! Try putting in your favorite movie and get dh to get you some comfort food! Get your mind off things and relax... I know that's easier said than done, but worrying isn't going to do anything!! Good luck!!!

I'm so sorry for your losses. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and listen to some calming music. Ts&Ps your way!

Just try to relax, I know it's easie said than done. If you are spiritual, prayer really helps and have faith. :-)

I've had spotting after sex too, and it is scary! But just rest, try to relax your body and your mind will follow. Give it a day to settle and see where you're at.

I had the exact same thing happen. Called my doc and spotting after sex is totally normal! I know it's hard but try and relax and think positive.

Were your beta levels 48 hours apart? Seem like they are doubling

kchar008 · December 2013

i have to wait till next wednesday to do another blood test and see if they will continue to go up, after what started happening today I'm terrified, just trying to take it easy and prayer of course

Though it's good to try to relax, stress is not going to hurt the baby.

OP, I know how difficult and stressful this time can be. Spotting after intercourse is normal. Your betas are doubling which is a good sign. At this point, all you can do is wait and take your progesterone supplement.

GL and I hope everything turns out great.

Hang in there! I've been where you are and know how scary it is. Just try your best to relax and get your mind off of things as much as possible.
