Paranoid about miscarriage

felicitysmummy · July 2014

Hi, I have a 2yo daughter who we conceived on the injections so a happy surprise. We have been trying for 2 years and found out we are 5 weeks pregnant!!! Very happy but the past week I've have done nothing but panick and worry that I will miscarry, anyone else feel like this and is this normal?

cheggers88 · July 2014

Hi and congratulations on your pregnancy!
I am 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant with my first and I am feeling the same as you. I am very worried that something will go wrong and I will lose my little Bob but we just have to try and relax and enjoy it as much as we can. We can't stop anything from going wrong if that's the way it's going to go...
Wishing you the best of luck

I just made a similar post last week. I am super parinoid!! I have miscarried before and now I am almost 8weeks. I am just trying to be in the moment and remember mantra! "My baby loves my body, my body loves my baby".
Just try and breathe and try not to over stress, since that isn't good for the little one either!

Congrats!!

Thanks ladies! I am 5 weeks in and haven't gone to the dr yet so I'm almost feeling some cautiousness worried that when i go everything will be ok. This is my first pregnancy and some of my friends had miscarriages with their first plus unfortunately my nurse brain kicks in from time to time. Doing my best to relax and being cautiously optimistic!

I am five weeks also. I can't help but worry, I think I'll feel better at my first Dr. Appt. 3 long weeks away.

I'm 5 weeks and 3 days today. This is my first pregnancy and I'm super paranoid too. I have to travel over seas on business in a couple weeks and because of that I don't have my first dr. Appt until my 12th week. Everything I've read said that early miscarriages are nothing the mother did but from chromosome abnormalities. Just keep doing things to keep yourself healthy and take your prenatal vitamins, we will all get through this together!

It's normal, I'm 5weeks and all I do is worry. Just try and keep yourself busy

I am pregnant after a miscarriage. I am worried 24/7 and make excuses to have an ultrasound check up every week. You are not alone with your worries but you need to try to relax and enjoy the moment. It is easier to say than practice! Congratulations!

I am 4 weeks 4 days...per IVF. My first ivf ended in a chemical pregnancy so I am scared out of my mind about this one. My beta # on Saturday was 214 and Monday 386...so it didn't double like it should. I just went in for another one...hopefully it doubles this time!

jujugig · July 2014

I have had 2 miscarriages in the past year and a half, all I can say is nothing can prevent it, but please stay calm find somehow to be calm and peaceful, a zen place....peace in God, something, that panicky anxious feeling is not good for you!

maisonduchoco2 · July 2014

Congrats and welcome! I am just as paranoid as you, but like the ladies on the PgAL board and many other boards say, "today I am pregnant." It's very hard, but definitely focus on the good and take it day by day :-)

chill86 · July 2014

You are not alone. I'm 7 weeks, I've had 2 miscarriages in the past and constantly worry it will happen again. I have a healthy 2 year old though so I know it's possible to have a successful pregnancy. But I still stress about it. It's only natural. Hope all goes well for you and your peanut. Congrats!

I understand that you are worried. It is hard not to be. I just try to stay healthy to give the baby the best environment that he or she needs right now. Everything else is really out of my control so I try not to think about it.

heather131 · July 2014

Hi! I am right there with you. I am 8 weeks today and I can't wait to be out of the first trimester. I suffered a miscarriage in February of this year so I am really worried about things going wrong. Everyone keeps telling me that this time will be totally fine so I am going to tell you the same! Think positive and stay healthy. That's all you can do.

btaamai · July 2014

Congrats on your pregnancy. I am 8 wks tomorrow and going for an ultrasound. I'm so paranoid as I have had spotting more often than not and have already been told it could be early stages miscarriage. I'm 38 and this is my 1st pregnancy! I have had surgeries to try to repair my tubes(both closed) failed iui, and failed IVF. Then I am miraculously pregnant! I am trying to have faith that God will see His work through to a healthy baby. Praying for you!

jungy70 · July 2014

Congrats. I am almost 6 weeks after trying for almost 2 yrs after miscarriage. I am 44 so it is very scary, every little feeling I get worried about, and have slight spotting too so that doesn't help. All we can do is hang on til week 12 and relax, as I keep saying to myself over and over.

jap618 · July 2014

Some of the best advice I've been given:

Don't worry for the doctors.

Today you are pregnant and you love your baby.

There is nothing you can do if something is wrong.

Relax now because it's not like you're going to stop stressing when the baby comes out.

Take a deep breath. Best of luck.

1stlaura · July 2014

Congrats first off all :-).
Am 7 weeks 2 days on my first and I am freaking out also about a miss. Counting the days till the 12 week. Fingers crosses. Have a early scan booked at 10 weeks just for pease of mind.. All we can do is relax and enjoy the pregnancy.. Xxx

kirak1302 · July 2014

This is perfectly normal, I miscarried 5 years and can't help but worry this time!! I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow and going for an early pregnancy scan tomorrow just to be sure everything is as it should be!

copperrose · July 2014

I was super worried all the time until I got my first ultrasound; that really put my mind at ease even though I know at any point loss can happen.

aesf · July 2014

It's totally normal. It sucks.

There are two schools of thought dealing with it:

1. Take heart in the stats. Over 35? There is an 80% chance your baby will be healthy. (Under 35? 75%) take heart. If you had an 80% chance of winning the lottery you'd play and expect to win.

2. Those who don't like the stats argument because sadly if 75% of pregnancies survive, 15 don't and someone has to fall in the 15. This is particularly hard on those who've been jn the 15. The other suggest is to remind yourself "my baby is alive today and I love her". You can't change anything, you can't so anything and as far as you know your baby is fine so love the heck out of her.

Neither are super soothing though. Good luck

Lovebeingamomny · July 2014

I'm right there with you. 8 wk tomorrow, first preg. My dr office won't do u/s until 12 wk unless there is a problem, unsure about dates, etc. but I was 100% sure of dates. So what I keep telling myself is that I am blessed that right now everything is fine and there's no need for an u/s. Prayers to you and all with these same feelings!

xlittlerosebudx · July 2014

I am right there with you as well. This is my first pregnancy and it took us a long time and a fertility specialist to get here. I went for an ultrasound today (7 weeks 1 day) and the doctor said I am measuring a couple of days small so that didn't help either. She didn't seem to be worried about it at all though but of course it just makes my head spin thinking about everything that could go wrong.
