Hey everyone,
I'm 6 weeks 4 days today. 3 days ago I had a viability ultrasound and saw a fetal pole and heartbeat. I will go back at 9 weeks for a dating ultrasound. I've had very light spotting but the doctor said everything looked great and he isn't worried. I was happy for a day or so and now I'm worried that when I go back at 9 weeks, it will have ended. I read that once you hear a heartbeat, you risk of miscarriage is 5-9%. I really don't want to ruin this experience for myself by worrying. I don't know how to stop. Has anyone else gone through this? If so, any tips on how to relax? Thanks for listening!
Re: When did you/will you stop worrying about miscarriage?
The worry literally never stops. It starts with "am I going to get to bring this baby home?" and I can only assume it ends when you die.
Worrying is just part of it. Once my chance of miscarriage was minimal the first time, I worried about other things being wrong.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

I heard my baby's heartbeat last week and I go again next week for another ultrasound. I decided to not worry and dwell in joy and happiness unless something tells me things are wrong.
