Hello ! I am new to this so forgive me if I do or say something wrong.
A little background: in 2010 I had my beautiful daughter at 26 weeks. They weren't sure why I went into premature labor. Both she and I were healthy, she just wanted to bless us early.
In February I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks. My baby stopped developing at 6 weeks and 4 days. I had a natural miscarriage. No determined cause.
I'm April I had another miscarriage at 6 weeks. I had no idea I was pregnant(AF was irregular) and I found out while I was in the process of miscarrying. No determined causes again.
Here I am today pregnant after two losses& I'm a nervous wreck. I went for an ultrasound about a week ago and nothing was seen. My OB ran a hcg level after (result was 500) and reassured me that is why nothing appeared. I dated myself around 5 weeks(my OB is unable to determine a due date until a successful ultrasound) and am awaiting my second hcg results (had them drawn Friday). I panicked after my ultrasound and my OB decided that due to my previous pregnancies I should have a hcg level drawn every two weeks. She apologized for sending me to an early ultrasound. My emotions are everywhere because they don't have an estimate of how far along I am. Thoughts are running through my head like what if I am around 6 weeks and nothing is there? What if I go for ,y next ultrasound and it ends in another loss.
I get nervous that this pregnancy will result like my last. I over analyze every ache. I have constant fear that one morning when I wake up I will see blood. I reassure myself that this pregnancy is different however that little fear always is there. Is this a normal feeling for a mother after a loss? Will it go away?
Thanks!

Re: pregnant after a loss(loss mentioned)
It seems like your doctor sent you too early. I hope you have great results back from your Friday tests and in a few weeks a positive ultrasound experience. It's really hard not to think about the losses, hopefully some reassurance in the coming weeks will help with some of that.

When was your first beta? There are lots of babies born whose betas did not double, so try not to worry too much, assuming that this was pretty close to the date of your first beta. Sending you t&p. ((hugs))
