Worried and Confused!

KRomo16 · January 2015

Hey Girls!

DH and I started dating when I was 15, married at 20 and now I'm 25. We thought it was time to TTC but had no idea it was going to work on the first try. I am now 5 weeks pregnant Yay! This is my first pregnancy and will be our first Child. But I am worried by reading all these posts about Chemical Preganacies and Miscarriages, which btw I am truly sorry for your losses. I am not trying to offend anyone I am just nervous! Is this normal for every pregnancy? Every woman? My family does not have a history of neither of these but I'm still freaking out! Am I overthinking this? Please help me calm my nerves!! TYIA
P.S already went to my General Doctor and said everything looked normal for a healthy pregnancy. Have my First OB appointment all the way to March 3rd.

My first pregnancy also, and I admit I'm having the same nerves! Not letting myself get too excited because it seems like so many people have had miscarriages, must be so hard and truely feel for anybody who has experienced that.

I guess all we can do is hope for the best! Bring on 12 weeks hey!

I would probably say every new expectant mother has that same fear. When it happened to me, my doctor told me that it happens to 25% of pregnancies (so 1 in 4 women). Now, that seems like a scary stat but don't let that deter you from being excited and dreaming up who this little person will be in 9 months!

For me, that's what was so upsetting when I miscarried. Those dreams were instantly taken away...but I'm just as excited about this new pregnancy and I've been all over Pinterest making plans for this new baby!

Of course that nagging feeling of whether it will happen again is still there, however, I'm trying to push that thought away, do everything in my control correctly and think positively because honestly everything else is out of my control.

Wishing both of you a H&H pregnancy!!!

I have had 1 successful pregnancy and now I am 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant with baby number 2 and both times I have been absolutely terrified in the first few weeks...I think it's normal. Just have faith that your body was made to do this...

I agree with the advice of the PP. This is my second pregnancy, but with my first I was so scared of what I was reading just like you.

Try to enjoy this experience as much as you can. It will get easier to relax week by week as well!

I've had two miscarriages and have two healthy children so miscarriages certainly happen, but you just have to hope, pray, do whatever you do for a healthy child. If someone does miscarry it isn't because of something they did or did not do. You really don't have any control over it so the only thing it will do is worry you. I try to hope and plan for the best, but not tell or buy things for a baby until after the first trimester when you are in a safer timeframe.
