Anxious & worry

After 4 years of trying and 1 miscarriage earlier this year we are finally pregnant. We were in the process of starting fertility treatments but started having strange symtoms before first treatment. I went in for a quick check up to see why my cycle had not started. Ultrasound shocked me! I'm pregnant and so far along that I got to hear the baby's heartbeat. Cried my eyes out and luckily have great drs but still so anxious about everything. Even symtom makes me think about last time. Will the everything be ok in my ultrasound next week? Advise welcome on how to keep calm.

Re: Anxious & worry

  • First -- congratulations!!!

    Second -- just enjoy this time. It's a great sign that you were able to hear the heartbeat. Remember that too much stress and worrying isn't good for the baby, or you! I know it's so hard to take it all in and enjoy where there is so much unknown. But just enjoy it!

  • Thank you for the message. It helps to hear it from someone who has gone through it.
  • Congrats!

    As someone who has experienced multiple losses this year, my advice is enjoy the today. I know it's hard to not over analyze every little symptom or lack there of but you have to realize it's out of your hands. Personally, I gave this pregnancy to God and that has given me the most peace.

    Remember, today you are pregnant! Trust your body to do what it knows to do and enjoy today!
  • Congratulations! Such a happy story. Try to stay positive. I think after hearing the heartbeat the chances of a miscarriage drop to 10% (although I read 5% somewhere too).
  • Congratulations! I had a loss too in March and I was worried for the first 7-8 weeks every time I went to the bathroom that I would see blood. I try to enjoy my symptoms :) hihi... I would lie if I would say that I'm not worried about my next u/s in a week and a half. We heard the heartbeat last time and everything was looking great, but I will be happy when I reach the 12 weeks mark.
    Take one day at the time.

  • Today I'm 7 weeks and started having back pains. Intense mid back and dull lower back. Doctor said if I'm not cramping or spotting it's ok. Can't help but feel so afraid. I was so excited to hit two weeks farther then last time. Is back pain normal this early?

    @NessaR003 congrats on your milestone! Mine is coming up in 10days.
    My backaches started at around 4.5 weeks and are still going. Today I'm 7weeks and for the first time I felt nauseas. Guess our symptoms change or add on with time!

    Thank you @kimey1. I am really afraid since my sysmtoms seem to have shifted a bit especially after the pain.
    Hope I can hold off till my next u/s on Friday with out freaking out.
