Miscarriage Worry

Hi ladies!

I had a v. early miscarriage last month that didn't really bother me; it was my first month trying so my expectations were low. I focused on the fact that at least I was able to conceive! This month, I am preggo again, and this time it stuck. Am 4w 5d, today.

I'm finding that as each day passes, I am more and more anxious that I will miscarry again. I feel like I'm so focused on making it to 12 weeks that I'm not enjoying the present.

Any advice on how to calm down and cope? I know this isn't in my control, but I keep coming back to these worries. My current lack of typical symptoms also adds to this stress...why can't I just relax and be patient?!

  • SO true, @BethAndBen‌! What a great perspective. I think I need to sit with these thoughts and make a conscious effort to let go.

    Going to try my best! Hope everyone else is able to let go, too!

    Welcome and congratulations!

    I think it is normal to have some worry during the first tri, but I agree with PP that the PgAL board has some good advice on how not to let the worry become overwhelming.

  • I am in the same boat and I agree with a few other posters. Worry is just going to become part of your life. I had two miscarriages before I had my beautiful, perfect little girl. I obsessed every single day about whether she was okay or not. I used my Doppler daily to hear a heartbeat. I wanted to make it to 26 weeks so that she would survive if born then. Then to 37 weeks to be full term. I wouldn't even let people buy her things because I thought it would jinx it. Then when she was born it was a constant worry of SIDS. But don't let the worry take over your life. I tried hard to focus on other things so my worry wouldn't surface. Good luck!
