Intro- First Time Mom

loveinakloveinak member
in April 2016 Moms
Hello! This is my first pregnancy and I am almost 6 weeks along. I've read through some threads and I am relieved to see I am not alone in my fear of miscarriage. I'm so happy I was able to get pregnant (there were concerns due to PCOS) but now I feel I am CONSUMED with the thought/fear of miscarrying. I just want to tell everybody but I feel like I'll be jinxing it!
I've started feeling fatigued, nauseous for most of the day and overall, have some crazy mood shifts happening but I've assured my husband that this seems to be normal based on what I've seen in the boards :)
I'm thankful to have found this site and look forward to the next nine months with you all. My estimated due date is April 8, 2016 and my first OBGYN appt is scheduled for the 31st.

    I've watched so many around me miscarry, and I think about it more times than I should. You're definitely not alone! Congrats and Welcome!

    I have PCOS as well and have been absolutely terrified of MC.  My OB has been awesome with me and has already seen me twice, tomorrow will be 3 times in the two weeks since I've gotten my BFP.  He specializes in fertility issues so I think that has helped my case a bit more.  He's been reassuring in his caution and is very blunt when it comes to letting me know exactly what is going on and what to expect. I think I would be even more of a basket of nerves if it wasn't for him.

    @cryscaulfld I definitely appreciate providers who are upfront but still care about the concerns/fears the patient might have. I can't wait for my appointment. I've decided to see a male midwife at an OBGYN office. I just want to see the heartbeat!
