being pregnant and having stress!

Last summer I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks!  well I'm eight weeks now!  and I'm really worried about losing this baby also! And I was telling my friend how I felt And she keep saying that Im being to negative about it all!  and I was only expressing to her that I was only scared of it happening again.. and she is mad at me cuz I'm "stressing" myself out buy being scared!  and I dont agree with her!!  so my question is  Can being to stressed out really cause harm to you baby at 8 weeks???   I have heard that it really isnt a big deal!

Thanks It is just hard.especially since I have seen my brother and his wife have 4or 5 M/C before they gave birth!. I'm staying positive about it but I can't help but to think the worst!  I'm about 9 weeks now and I feel different this time my morning sickness is still increasing and I know thats a GREAT SIGN! I go for my U/S June 9th! so Lets hope everything is GOOD!

No being stressed out wont harm the baby. So you can calm down.
I also miscarried around 10 weeks, and when i got pregnant again 3 months later i was worried also. I even started spoitting at 10 weeks again i knew this time i wasn't miscarrying (because it felt diffrent), but i still broke down again.
It really is normal especially after a m/c to fret over every twinge. All i can say is try not to over think everything,
TRY not to worry,
TRY not to be scared.
Only 4 weeks till your 2nd trimester when believe me you begin thinking of other things like the first scan, first kick, etc....
Oh and CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
