miscarriage worries

a_bay_bay · April 2015

So I have no signs or symptoms of miscarriage but I constantly worry about it. I'm only 6 weeks. Any words of advice on how to be more positive and not worry so much would be greatly appreciated! This is my first pregnancy.

I am right there w you. My hubby says it's all mental. We miscarried in early Jan after an iui w fertility clinic. I wasn't even 4 weeks yet and I have past 5 weeks 2 days when we got the negative. We are now 6 weeks 3 days. I here if you need support

I cannot give you any advice, however I can tell you that you are not alone! I have had the same feelings since the first time I peed on a stick. I will be 6weeks tomorrow.
Everytime a symptom lessens or goes away I panic.
Last time I got really worked up I ended up going for a nice shower. It helped calm me down a little also I like to talk to the baby. Just tell him to hang in there and that we love him.
Wishing you health and happiness.

I feel the same way and am 6 weeks 1 day

a_bay_bay · April 2015

I'm exactly 6 weeks today. This is my first pregnancy. I have mild pregnancy symptoms and sort of wish I had extreme symptoms so I would at least feel pregnant.

I don't have my first ob appointment until April 30th..I think after my first appointment I'll feel a lot better and more confident.

I am still with a fertility clinic so I get really early detections

I'm right there with you, except I'm 7 weeks today.

I lost twins at 23 weeks last June. My little girl fought for 48 hours, before it was just too much for her. I also had a chemical following an IUI in October. I'm terrified! I've gotten a lot of support from my infant loss support group. I have a couple friends in the group that I'm close to and who understand. They've been very helpful.

LilLambie · April 2015

I'm freaking out too. I'm 6 weeks 1 day today. I'm not having many symptoms at all- just saw ribs, ridiculous hunger and needing to pee all the time. I have a scan in 4 days and I'm so worried there won't be a heartbeat.

Ohashfo · April 2015

I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks, and am now 7w4d. I constantly struggle with the worry. Miscarriages are not common in my family, nor have I ever had one. I was able to see the baby and the heartbeat two weeks ago which was amazing but I still worry! Just don't google it! It's SO hard, but try to stay positive and know that your little one is already so loved by you. I started talking to my belly and praying to God, thanking him for the blessing of this baby!

dogsombrero · April 2015

As someone who has had 2 early m/c I can tell you that the most helpful thing for my anxiety when I was pregnant with my son is repeating the mantra :"Today I am pregnant, worrying will not change that". That came from the advice of the wonderful ladies on the PgAL board. Hormone changes really mess with anxiety, it's okay and normal to worry, just don't let it run your life.

a_bay_bay · April 2015

miscarriages aren't common in my family either and I have never had one, but I suspect I've had a chemical pregnancy but the test line was soo faint its questionable. but I still worry...I am a worrier I suppose.

wattsbaby2015 · April 2015

So sorry for your loss! What was the reason, did they know

BostonBaby1 · April 2015

@Beckah31 i am so very sorry for your losses. Praying this is your happiness!

I'm pretty worried too. I had a very early loss after IVF at the beginning of March & we conceived naturally this time (happy surprise!) hopefully I'll feel better after my first U/S on Thursday but that will only be 6week even (I think) so there may not be much to see(relief.)

Charmndmom · April 2015

I struggle with this as well, especially since we lost our Hope at 9 weeks in November. As @dogsombrero said, you can only concentrate on today and enjoy being pregnant

. I'm 5 weeks and go back and forth from excitement to trying to decide whether to get my hopes up or not.

zyphirine2015 · April 2015

I so understand. I feel like I'm in the exact same boat, I'm 7w2d today. And even though I have no risk factors or history of miscarriage, I still worry about it everyday. Got some pretty silly cramping for a few minutes last night, but no bleeding. I'm worried, and I'm
Not sure how to let go of that feeling cause we really can't do much to change what will happen. We just have to trust it is for the best.

kirble · April 2015

I'm 7 + 4 and I'm worried all the time. Taking one day at a time is the only advice I can give. I had a MMC last may so just getting to milestones helps. 1st scan, midwife, 2nd scan etc and then your confidence will grow once you see your baby.
I saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks and felt better but I could go every few days I get so anxious!
Hang in there think positive and we are here for u x

VesperLove · April 2015

I can totally relate. All I can say is to keep thinking positive. There isn't much that is in your hands so just keep doing what you can for baby and for yourself. Wishing you the best!

lysslenae · April 2015

Trust me once you have your first appointment you will feel so much better seeing your baby on the screen and it's heart. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks 2 years ago so I know what it's like to worry. To calm my nerves I constantly talk to the baby. & the most important thing is to stay positive. I'm here if you need anyone to talk to.

Bubbz · April 2015

My office doesn't do U/S or the doppler or ANYTHING. I'll be in the dark until the screening U/S. Which is when I found out I had a MMC last time.

Paranoid basketcase over here. Pffft.

saw1211 · April 2015

I am in constant concern as I have had a previous miscarriage at this same time last time. We did blood work and found out that I would need to be on lovenox the. Ext time I get pregnant. Well for the last week I have been on it and then I had bright red discharge. Went in this morning for more blood work to make sure everything is ok. I keep praying and talking to the baby. The only things that seem to ease my mind.

Elisemenchies · April 2015

Hi bumpies--im just 4.5 wks along with my first baby and I only found out a week ago. I'm always so worried about losing the baby and does anyone else have constant cramps/achiness in lower abdomen? No blood though..

I feel the exact same way. My nausea is so mild that I feel like it's just a mistake. I wish I was the kate Middleton of morning sickness so I felt like I was more pregnant. However, I wouldn't call my hormonal changes mild hehe

mltarrio · April 2015

I am really worried about this too. I have no symptoms and I think this is making me worry more. I am only 5 weeks, so this is still really new, but my doctor won't see me until 9 weeks so I have a month to wait to see the peanut on a screen. I think I will be able to calm down when I know what is going on in there.

susiaustin · April 2015

I'm 8 weeks I have a miscarriage so I'm worried and every little cramp made me worry, talked to the doctor and had a sono, some was from the ovarian cysts I got from last ovulation, not fun when the sonogram tech asked me if I was on fertility treatments because I released more than 1 egg, but talking to my sister who had a mc before as well, she didn't have cramping with her mc until after bleeding started, I didn't have any symptoms of pregnancy my whole first one, and barely any cramping, supposedly a growing uterus hurts, add to that I have scar tissue from endometriosis, I think unless there is blood no reason to full on panic, but def can talk to dr, should be able to tell you what "normal" granted I don't think there is any full on "normal" for every woman or every pregnancy

marikadevienne · April 2015

Wow I am so happy so many people feel the same way! I think about it all the time... It's making me paranoid! I'm exactly 6 weeks today, first pregnancy and my first appt is the 30th... I've been trying prenatal yoga to help relax and meditation...

laxdixdar · April 2015

I was like this last time... anything and everything scared me. I ended up miscarrying at 11wks after several ultrasounds saying everything was fine. I find im actually more relaxed this time, because i know there is nothing i can do to stop it and it can happen even when they say it probably wont. No one can ease your mind, just set tiny milestones and get through them.

Goldsgirl9 · April 2015

You are not alone. I had a chemical pregnancy in Feb and now I'm pretty paranoid. I will be 6w tomorrow and cannot wait for my U/S Wednesday to put my mind to ease. I naturally worry anyway but I find things to occupy my time and mind so I don't drive myself crazy.

Shilah78 · April 2015

I had a missed miscarriage in December. I'm a basket case right now. Trying to just pray a lot and leave it in God's hands. Easier said than done though.

I am trying to do the same. Missed miscarriages are so hard to explain to people. My sister had a full miscarriage and I was like, well you went through it but you knew when it happened. It's the not knowing that kills me. Add to that, missed miscarriages have a high rate of depression due to the hormones still being so high; higher even than when you give birth
