miscarriage
Is it normal to constantly fear you are going to have a miscarriage? All I can think about is the possibility. Every little ache and pain and I am looking up if it is a symptom of miscarriage. I am roughly 5 weeks. No bleeding or spotting at all I just feel like something isn't right. I have a ton of pregnancy symptoms; nausea, vomitting, exhaustion, painful breasts etc. I am terrified that we will go to our first ultrasound and there be an empty sac. I don't get to see my Dr until the end of January bc they don't see anyone until 8 weeks at least. Even my first appointment is with the nurse only. This is my first pregnancy. Seems like everyone in my family has multiple miscarriages

My sister and I were both pregnant, 9 days apart. She was due December 22 and me December 31. She constantly worried about miscarriage and I didn't. I went woth her to her 12week scan and bub was absolutely perfect, jumping around. So full of life. It was a beautiful moment we got to share. I swear I was more excited then my sister lol The we had my 12weeks scan the week after. As soon as the lady started ny ultrasound I knew something was wrong. My baby was tiny compared to my sisters. My baby had stopped growing and passed away at 8weeks. I'd had a missed miscarriage. It was awful. My sister so felt guilty because I wanted a baby and she didn't feel ready. Now I'm an aunty to a gorgeous one month old baby boy and I'll be due in June. It was hard, but it made me and my sister closer. And me an my partner too. I had my due date on a week ago for the pregnancy that ended in miscarriage which was hard, but my miracle baby is jumping around, and we'll be finding out the sex in the next few weeks. Don't stress yourself out. Things happen which we can't control. But it does make us stronger. I worry about losing my baby, because I have already. But somehow everything feels right. Also my due date is the same day we found out our baby was an angel. June 17. So exactly one year after our lives turned upside down we get to enjoy our miracle baby!
Its completely understandable. My first pregnancy I had a miscarriage
Thanks again everyone. I took another pregnancy test today just to make myself feel better and I had one in the cupboard. Definitely feel better seeing there is barely a control line on the test because the dye was pretty much all used up on the hormone line. I know it sounds stupid to take another test but whatever makes me feel better right? Lol now if only I could get rid of this nausea lol
It's totally normal. Just don't allow yourself to stress. You're concerned because it's the unknown happening in your womb, but don't be fearful. Think positive thoughts. Stay active to keep the worrying at a minimum. I'm on my 4th (26 weeks) and with each one of my pregnancies I had those same concerns, just because! You'll be fine
Hey girl. Dont worry so much for one stress is a huge factor of miscarriage so relax. And yes worrying about it is normal completely take from someone who has had a miscarriage. The fear never stops. I was 14 weeks last time and out of the blue i woke up one morning bleeding. Now im 21 weeks with my third pregnancy and i had a talk with my doctor about my fear. He had asked if i was afraid of having it happen again and when i told him i was he told me he would be worried if i wasnt. That made me feel better. I am not a very religious person but i still believe that god had a reason to take that baby back from me. And im ok with that. The month my baby would have been due we got pregnant again with this little girl and i thank god every day cause all i asked for was a healthy baby and i guess the last one wasnt gunna be. So dont feel like your the only one who worries cause i still worry and it will all turn out how its suppose to. I hope everything works out for you and you make it through with flying colors. Being a mother is trully a blessing.
I worried constantly throughout my last pregnancy. Even the last couple of weeks. I didn't feel movement for a couple hours and worried. I ended up buying a fetal doppler. It really helped to relieve my anxiety. You usually can't hear the heartbeat until 10 or 12 weeks and even then it takes practice. But that helped me. I am 16 weeks now and still worry. I have a friend who got pregnant a few months after I had my daughter. She messaged me worried about some pains and weird feelings and I told her that from the first time that pregnancy test says pregnant, you will never stop worrying again. The rest of your life you will worry. Welcome to motherhood. Lol. It's so true. Try to just relax. Drink water and eat healthy before morning sickness kicks in. Good luck!
Easier said that done but yes, try to breath and think happy things. Stressing about it will not help you or baby. Try to do 30 min relaxation for yourself every day
Normal. It has lessened for me after about 20 weeks but then you learn about other things that can happen and worry about that instead. 35 weeks this week and currently worried about cord wrapping around her or not being able to have vaginal birth..always something to worry about as a mother
Completely normal! I'm now 21 weeks and still have the fear that every time I go to an appointment there will be no heartbeat. and since I'm a bigger girl I don't really feel baby move yet. Just try even though it's pretty much impossible try to not stress about it sweetie
19 weeks and afraid every single day. I had a miscarriage last January at 5 weeks and it was traumatic. I just pray and try to focus on staying positive. Easier said than done....
Im nine weeks, haven't gotten to see doctor yet. Im rh- and with my first one they totally freaked me out so I'm super worried about mc. Im thinking it's normal. I know everyone says stay positive, and I know it's hard to do, but try. I'll be trying to be positive right along side you. :)
Thanks so much ladies. I definitely needed to hear all of your encouragement. I just can't wait to go to the Dr and have him tell me everything is ok.
I have had two past miscarriages and an eptopic trying to convince our second. What was always true for me is If my boobs hurt and I feel like crap the baby is doing well. When I lost the babies that all stopped. With that said keep in mind....just because "morning sickness" stops it doesn't mean anything is wrong.
I'm like that, but my reason for that is because I hadva miscarriage right before this pregnancy. It's definitely one of the worst thing a woman or anyone can go through. But don't stress yourself over this hun, just think happy thought and be positive. Everything will be just fine.
Until I turned 30 weeks I didn't enjoy my pregnancy because I was do worried I was going to have a miscarriage. When my husband and I decided to start trying, it was even one period that happened. I got pregnant right away. I should have felt blessed but I just thought it was too good to be true so I was just waiting for the miscarriage to happen. Now I'm almost 37 weeks and I think all the time that I didn't let myself enjoy my pregnancy so don't do that to yourself. What will be will be. Have faith that it will all be OK. Best wishes for you and your growing family.
Don't worry every mother has that fear. Everything will be okay just try not to think so negative
Thats exactly how i feel every time i go to the bathroom im consistent checking. Im 12 weeks i pray all the time that i don't. See blood i havent had nightmares yet but im still afraid this baby means so much to me. Even though i will be a single mother im anxious to get bigger
I am definitely the same way. I found out very early I was pregnant. I'm only 7 1/2 weeks now and am constantly thinking I will miscarry. When I want nauseous last night, I was freaking out again. All you can do is relax and pray! Good luck. Keep me updated on your first appointment!
I was the same way. But now I'm 33 weeks
I'm 28weeks and I still fear it every day.. my daughter hasn't kicked me in a couple hours and I'm slowly beginning to panic... tryyyy not to stress though and think positive thought ...
Yes very normal. I used to have nightmares every night that I miscarried around 6 or 7 weeks. I would go to the restroom n Pray when I wiped there would be no blood, n when I didn't see anything, Thank you Jesus would always be the first n last thing to leave my lips. Until I was in the clear I was a nervous wreck. I'm 38w now n Thankful that my baby is perfectly healthy..good luck to you hunny, everything will be ok. Stay positive ;)
Don't stress yourself out. All of that stuff you are experiencing is normal. Take care of yourself that is the best way to protect your baby.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Aw hun yes its normal to feel the way u are i was like that too & it got better after each scan and then hearing heart beat but after couple weeks after scans i always got nervous again but once your baby kicks it settles you more and now that im 38wks when my baby moves it feels reassuring but i still feel nervous at times but i just try think positive but it was much harder before my 20week scan because baby doesn't move and u hardly can tell but i hope u can ease your mind some how x
