Anybody scared of this pregnancy after experiencing miscarriage/'s?

I am pregnant for the 6th time and am so scared I'm going to miscarry again... Anybody else out there going through similar feelings?

JellicalParker · January 2015

It is quite normal to feel frightened of having another miscarriage. However, you have to remain cautiously optimistic and remind yourself everyday that Today, you ARE pregnant! How far along are you? Have you spoken to your Dr yet? And whatever you do... remind yourself that its ok to be happy and excited!

I worry a lot too. I think that's natural after losses. Yesterday I had bright red spotting and I was on the phone to the doctor in two seconds because I was so scared it was happening again (it turns out my placenta is sitting right over my cervix and baby is fine).

Everyone at the office said that worrying is normal for moms who haven't had a loss, and even more so for those who have. Just try to stay positive and don't let the fear take over your joy.

Thank you ladies, it help to discuss this! My due date is the 21st of August. My Dr. Is very much the precautionary type which I am grateful for. I have been in twice since I tested positive at home at 7ish weeks I have an appointment on Monday which will put me at 10ish weeks. Hoping I will see the little bean

Yep. Being PGAL (pregnant after a loss) is always rough. I had a very uneventful pregnancy after a miscarriage and I still get nervous. All you can do is take it one day at a time.

Yes! Feeling relieved after hearing the heartbeat today, though. 9w6d

Miz_Liz · January 2015

In the same boat! Feeling better though, I am 10W 1D and saw the HB at 8W. I have such bad all day sickness it has made it easier to forget the fears since I am too busy puking instead. FX we will all have healthy pregnancies and meet our little beans this summer!

I so appreciate all your posts! It's nice to know your not alone and there are women out there who are having the same feelings...

dionne2004 · January 2015

That's my due date too! And I'm terrified of miscarrying!!!!

bebluntt · January 2015

I am so sorry for your previous losses. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy & little one due this summer!

alyra15 · January 2015

Same here... I had a miscarriage last year when I was only 7 wks along, and found out I was pregnant again in December! I didn't feel relieved until after the first ultrasound where I got to see the baby's heartbeat! Although I'm relieved that so far everything is okay, I worry everyday that something might happen. I try to just take a day at a time and not worry. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and if this time is meant to be it will be ☺️. Im looking forward my next appt this coming Wednesday, where I'll hopefully be hearing the heartbeat again and feel more at ease. For now, all we can do is relax and enjoy! Congratulations... And I'm sure everything will be okay.

I've had 4 previous losses and have been having nightmares about losing this one too! My due date is 8/28 but I've had 2 ultrasounds so far and they've been great!

kjandericka · January 2015

I feel the same way. I had a mc in Aug 2014 and I find myself worrying if I don't keep myself busy. My doctor is very cautious and I have actually already had 2 ultrasounds (6w and 8w5d) & saw the heartbeat at both and even saw the baby moving around during the second. I have another one on Feb 3 (12w6d). As soon as I leave the doctor's office I feel great, really confident that this pregnancy will end with a healthy baby but, without fail, about a week later, I start worrying again. It's natural to worry, especially after a loss but try not to let worry consume your thoughts.

Lewisb76 · January 2015

I definitely am! I am feeling more confident by the day though.

cpedward · January 2015

I've had two prior early losses and definitely am in the same boat. I feel better after seeing the doctor and going to the accupuncturist (makes me feel like I'm doing something to prevent it this time), but that feeling fades between appointments and I find myself doing the cotton-swab test to check for blood. At least I've stopped peeing on things. I'm debating getting a doppler but part of me knows that I need to work on my mind-set to really feel bette

Thank you ladies for all your words! This is a fantastic support

ckvan2001 · January 2015

I think it's quite normal to feel this way after a loss. I feel the same way (miscarried August 2014). This will be our last pregnancy, so I'm super nervous that something bad will happen again. We may try again if I were to miscarry again, but I'm 35 and only getting older. Things are going well for us so far, but in the back of my head I'm wondering if I will miscarry again. I'm 12w3d and just had my 12 week appt. this morning. I have had two U/S, and they were able to find a heartbeat at both. I heard the heartbeat today with a Doppler, so I feel like things are progressing well. But still worried as hell! I'm trying to enjoy this pregnancy but just finding a hard time doing so. My OB is amazing, and she told me today that if I ever want reassurance that things are going well to just call the office and come in to listen to the heartbeat. So that makes me feel better knowing that is an available option if I'm freaking out one day. You are not alone. Take care ladies and good luck to all of us for a healthy pregnancy!

I've not had a loss and I am still very scared. I can't imagine the anxiety I'd have if I had a previous loss. I have nightmares about it semi-regularly. You have all my sympathy, I really hope everything goes well for you this time!

pabeybaby · January 2015

I am a bit worried as well. This is my 4th pregnancy after 3 losses. This time I've been taking extra folic acid and baby asprin, due to clotting, and so far so good. I'm 10 weeks along, and our first ultrasound is this Tuesday. I think I'll feel more confident after that.

AWarford · January 2015

I understand completely. I've had multiple losses myself with no kiddos. I was so afraid to get excited this pregnancy. And even after three perfect ultrasounds, I still struggle. I'm only 9.5 weeks so I know I have an uphill battle ahead of me but I'm trying to just have faith. It doesn't help that I work in Labor and Delivery and majority of our patients are high risk. My husband and family are so supportive though.... I couldn't make it without them! Hoping God blesses us with healthy little ones in August!!

bpwife&mama · January 2015

I had a loss back in August and despite having seen a baby on an ultrasound, I'm still constantly worried. I can't wait to be out of the first trimester to help ease my worries a bit!

jorstad1 · January 2015

I have had 4 miscarriages so yes it's a marathon every time I have a us or Doppler is a victory

RunCC37 · February 2015

I'm sorry about your loss

we had a long, hard road to get pregnant - after TTC for 2-1/2 years (1-1/2 of those with the RE), we finally saw two lines for the first time with this pregnancy. We were THRILLED to learn that we had twins on board at our 6 week ultrasound. And then our hearts were broken to find out that we lost one at 8 weeks. Ever since then, we've been so paranoid about the pregnancy... It's so hard to move forward while grieving, and the experience has changed us. We have lost all our innocence and naivety. I wish we could just relax and enjoy this, but it's not that simple.

STtimetraveler · February 2015

I'm also in the same boat. Miscarriage in 2012. Baby in 2013... Pregnant dec 2014. On my first Sono this time around was so nerve wrecking. We have a strong heart beat and even saw little Bear squirming

aemc24 · February 2015

I miscarried in June of last year at 9 weeks; we found out at our 12 week appt. We were crushed. I found out in December I was pregnant again and I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic. I think my invisible goal is to get to our 12w appt and see our little one again to know he or she is still growing and progressing. I absolutely love JellicalParker's comment to "take one day at a time and remember that TODAY you are pregnant." Here's hoping everyone has a healthy pregnancy!

Emolee0810 · February 2015

I am terrified everyday, so know you are not alone. In October I had a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks with no signs at all. I had even seen the heart beat at 7 weeks. Baby stopped developing at 8 weeks. I am now 11 weeks with this pregnancy and I can't shake the feeling that it will happen again with no signs. I just pray everyday that everything is ok!

ashleyhack · February 2015

Debating on getting a doppler for my birthday (Feb 28), but I'm so nervous it would be a waste of money. Not that I have a negative attitude about it, but fear is huge after our 1 1/2 struggle with miscarriages throughout. Telling friends and family is going to also be hard, although I let them be happy for me.
I just got released from my infertility dr, and am nervous to go back to are obgyn. I hope they understand my almost needed for extra ultrasounds and check ins so I don't keep taking pregnancy tests. I'm due Aug 24th (that was hard to write down even).

1 1/2 year ttc

shmarpler · February 2015

I had an early miscarriage in August, and when I found out I was pregnant again in August, I didn't really get exited abut the baby. I actually felt relived every time I felt nauseous or gagged while trying to brush my teeth. My husband said that I had a huge emotional change after getting to hear the heartbeat. I'm still nervous, but I think it will get a little better when I start to feel baby move.

acgonzalez22 · February 2015

I have experienced 3 losses in the last year. I am 14 weeks and everything is perfect. Stay positive. Don't worry unless there is something to worry about.
