Miscarriage worries and fears

  You're definitely not alone in your fears. I'm actually finding that I'm more nervous now that I'm telling people I'm pregnant. Makes it feel more real and I feel like it raises the stakes somehow. I know that is kind of silly but that's my latest irrational thought/fear. I have found that a home Doppler helps to relieve my anxiety, although I can also see it making things worse in some ways if I became too obsessed with it or couldn't find the HB at home. Whenever I get super anxious, I remind myself that I haven't had any bad symptoms since the very beginning (cramping, bleeding), and remind myself that the miscarriage risk at this point is very low. But nothing makes that fear go away, that's for sure!

  I have a Doppler but I stopped using it because I have difficulty finding the heartbeats(I only heard bubbles and what I think is movement). We haven't told our families yet that we are expecting twins because of our last two pregnancy problems. I am trying to not stress and to try and be calm, I am finding that to be difficult.

  I had a MC with my first pregnancy this time around I'm almost 14 weeks and my irrational fears are sometimes overwhelming! My husband urged me to announce before our 14 week ultra sound bc he felt it would help ease my worry but wrong! I too feel like now I'm more vulnerable now that everyone knows! My issue is I don't really feel pregnant, besides my boobs getting bigger and what I think is a small baby bump i don't really have many symptoms! I'm grateful for the blessing of being pregnant and pray that we all have healthy full term pregnancies!

  I tried one more time at the Doppler and with a little prayer I actually found one of the twins(could have been both) heartbeat!!! It was hiding behind my own heartbeat so I had to find different angles till it was clearly heard! I felt so relieved that I cried. While those thought of miscarrying still follow me right now I am on cloud 9!!!

  This is my first pregnancy im 12 weeks+3days. Im worrying because i feel pretty normal. I havent felt my insides moving around or stretching yesterday or maybe even the day before yesterday. Ive been stressed bout me and my husbands relationship. Hes saying hes unhappy and wants to hang out with friends. Its hurtful. Something he works with everyday, had been on his clothes, causes failure to unborn childrens organs. They didnt even warn them. So im just worrying til the 18th for my next appointment.

  I have been feeling this way also. I try not to worry myself. I feel sick sometimes still after dinner mostly because I am tired but I now will be 15 weeks tomorrow. My boobs hurt and my pants don't fit and my insides feel like they are stretching. Last night my hubby and I had sex I admit it was kind of on the rough side. Afterwards i noticed a few drops of brownish red blood when i wiped. My pregnancy has been picture perfect symptom wise. The spotting subsided never was a lot just a few drops of brownish red when I wiped myself. Just taking it easy today no exercising. But it worries me bc it just does. I don't go to the doctor again until Aug 20th
