Need some reassurance

[slmcgaughey]

I am approaching the point in this pregnancy where I lost my last one at seven weeks.  Although with the last one I spotted from almost day one, I have had no spotting with this one.  I have a few really light symptoms. I wish they were more pronounced.  My first offical appointment isn't until the 22nd, but despite no spotting or other problems yet, I can't shake the feeling that I am going to get to my appointment and the doctor is going to say "sorry not this time" or not be able to find a heartbeat or that the baby has stopped growing at some point and I am going to have to go through all of it all over again.  I don't think I could handle it again.  I know in my head that I am just being paranoid, that since I already have three healthy children, the last MC was probably just a fluke, but still I can't shake this fear of getting my heart broke again.   Anybody?

I think a lot of ladies can understand how you feel. I lost my baby at 7 weeks a little over a year ago and an now 14 weeks pregnant. I though if I passed that date, I would be able to relax, but I can't. I still worry everyday that something might go wrong, even after a u/s and seeing the heartbeat. I know how the mild symptoms can be disturbing, but as of right now I have no symptoms of pregnancy at all and I'm not even showing. It's not a bad thing. :) Try and relax and enjoy feeling good, I'm sure your baby is just fine.

I miscarried a lil over 2 years ago on father's day. Mines was very early on but just as devastating. I had some spotting and cramping around the same time with this pregnancy, as I did with my m/c. I also was told that my baby didnt look like it was growing a couple weeks ago and had to have another u/s last Friday and come to find out both times my lil butterbean is just fine. I think it natural to stress when you go through something as tragic as that. But you have to remember the stressing is doing more damage than good to you and your baby. So stay positive and keep your head up everything will be ok with your baby. Whenever I feel stressed or nervous about my baby I read this prayer and that stress leaves me and Im calm again. Congrats on your lil blessing! I will keep you in my prayers!
Pregnancy Prayer
Ezek 16:6 "Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, "Live!"
Baby in the name of Jesus I prophecy the Word of God over your life by professing that you will live and not die and proclaim what the Lord has done (Psa 118:17). I come against the name of miscarriage and the symptoms of miscarriage and you must bow down and leave! I command every part of my body to function the way God created you to because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. That means every hormone is to get into balance and function perfectly not only during my pregnancy and delivery but for the rest of my life!
Jesus is the Word of God and I speak the life of Jesus into my womb, which says I will NOT miscarry. Right now according to Isaiah 53:4-5 I claim healing over any complication within my or my baby's body. Lord I thank you that you are restoring me to perfect health and healing me from all of my wounds (Jer 30:17).
Father I commit my baby and my pregnancy into your hands. I thank you according to your Word that you will take charge of the growth and development of my baby by knitting every part of them together without any defect or complication. I know that you will perfect that which concerns me and you will not forsake the work of your own hands because your mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.(Psa 38:8 AMP).
I take authority over fear and oppression for they are under my feet for I have been given a spirit of power a sound mind and self-control. I pray right now for your perfect peace to come upon me and to guard my heart and my mind in you. Lord I thank you for this miracle and for your Word because it says if I believe I will receive whatever I ask for in prayer(Mark 11:24).

I understand how you feel. 1st pregnancy last year and started spotting from day one of pregnancy and had a miscarriage at 7-8 weeks. I am now 6 weeks pregnant and had my ultrasound yesterday and doc said could not see any sac. I am totally devastated right now trying to find an answer to it.

I don't think you have anything to worry about since you have not spotted during this pregnancy and you have 3 health children to give you support and comfort. Juts think positively...and everything will be alright. I am hoping for a 20% miracle on mine.

I think it is perfectly normal to feel how you are feeling.  We miscarried October of last yr and are pregnant again.  I'm now 9wks and have passed the point I miscarried last time (7wks), but I still worry.  I don't have an appt for another 2 wks and I often think about whats going on inside me.  I have symtoms, but I had symtoms when I miscarried last yr.  Just try and think postive.  You have no control over anything - so all you can do is think postively.  You will get through that appt and be fine.

so sorry to hear about your loss- all i can say is boy, do i know how you feel! we had 4mc's in a row (no prior children) and everytime i went in for an ultrasound i was just about to have a freak out- this pregnancy included, my heart was racing as fast as it could go!   but like you said with three prior healthy pregnancies the last one was likelyl a fluke.. AND the fact that you have not had any spotting is a GREAT sign! so sounds like the miscarriage pregnancy wasnt quite right from the start anyways with the spotting.. As far as the symptoms go,, from my experience the fact that they are strong or not doenst mean healthy or not - i have had mc's where i had strong symptoms!... Its completely understandable that you are feeling this way, but I'm sure everything will be great and you'll see that little heartbeat!  Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck! : )
