Im 11 weeks and keep hearing stories about girls miscarring or going into really early labour or having a short cervix and im just freaked out.. I always thought once you pass 12 weeks your safe and i thought id be able to relax next week but now i cant.. Ive heard so many stories and it just makes me feel im never safe.. I didnt bleed once so this makes me feel better but i think about losing it every minute every day i cant stop thinking.. I also dont get to have a scan until next thursday so now im freaking out i might have had a missed miscarrige.. I wish i didnt have google :( :( im soo scared.. I just want to know do anyone know my chances of having a full term healthy baby.. Im 19 and i guess im healthy, i started taking prenatal vitamins about a week ago, folic acid before that.. Please help me feel better :( Now im stressed because i stress so much helllpp! :(
Thank you for your replies girls :) I love hearing of happy stories for a change.. New years eve is a lovely day to find out lol :) Im so happy you have had good pregnancys after what happened and best of luck in the future :) I think ill worry less once i feel it too :) Congrats on your bugs and good luck again :) I cant wait until im as far as you guys :)
Stress isn't the best thing. Don't focus on the negative. I had a miscarriage two months before I got pregnant with this pregnancy. I then had low progesterone levels and had to take supplements.I have been fine since then and so has baby. Im now 26wk and everything has been great. Everyone worries but don't let it consume you. Just take the precautions you need to (that we all take while pregnant) and keep living your life.
I worry constantly. For example, this morning I was having a panic attack because I realized that my baby hasn't been very active for the past couple days and I was thinking back trying to remember how often he's been kicking, and I panicked enough to call my best friend and as I was telling her why I was so stressed, baby kicked me really REALLY hard (tmi but now when he kicks my bladder I pee myself) so that helped me calm down. But I like to think I have a positive story! When I was 17 I miscarried without knowing I was pregnant, doctors at the hospital told me I wouldn't be able to.concieve again without the help if IVF treatments because of damage to my fallopian tubes. So I've spent the past five years thinking I would never have natural kids. Then in November I fell really sick. I couldn't stay awake, I couldn't eat food, I couldn't drink because my throat was so swollen I couldn't swallow. I spent three weeks in and out of the hospital where I was told many different stories. I didn't chew something properly, and it nicked my stomach and got infected, I had the flu, I had a gall bladder infection., I had mono, you name it, the doctoes tried to tell me I had everything. The only thing they didn't test for was pregnancy because this was the same hospital that told me I wouldn't conceive. Two months later (new years eve) I was standing in line at the liquor store for party supplies when I realized I was a week and a half late. I went straight to the doctors and tested positive for pregnancy!!!! I was 9 weeks along. I am 24+ 3 weeks now and while some times I still worry, I know that there is a reason for everything and that if this wasn't meant to be I would not have gotten pregnant in the first place. Worrying is a natural thing, and sadly so are miscarriages, but you should not let the thought of that stop you from living life to the fullest.
I really wanna do that too :) Ive seen so many cute things i just want to get them incase there gone lol.. Thank you so much for replying :) I think im gonna get some stuff if everything looks good at the scan too :) Im a firm believer in positive thinking, although its hard right now.. I might read The Secret again lol, its a really good book about positive thinking.. Thank you again and all the best with your new baby :) :)
The day I had my 12week scan I went straight from the hospital and went shopping. It kept me feelig positive everytime I looked at his clothes. Do whatever you need to, to keep the positive feelings. X

I cannot wait for my scan next week :) .. I bought a baby box saying a star has been born to keep cards and scan photos in etc and my boyfriend freaked out saying its too early.. I just wanted to stay positive :) Hopfully ill get to use it!! :)
You will be fine things like that don't just happen for no reason. I'm sure if they say everything is fine it is. This is my third pregnancy I'm 20 and have had two healthy babies and never and miscarriages.
Hey. I've got a positive story. I had a miscarriage when I was 18 and again when I was 20. At the beginning of last year I had to major operations within a few weeks of each other. The doctors told me I would probably never carry full term. I also have polycystic ovaries. After the miscarriage last year I kinda went off the rails, but never had a period. I went for a mri scan to see how I was healing from my ops. A few days later I flew to portugal for a week and was drinking every day. When I got home I had a call about my results from the mri, I needed to go in and have it checked. They took me to the maternity ward, gave me an ultrasound and found a little baby, heartbeat and all :) I was only 7.5 weeks. Didnt even know. Everyday I woke up thinking my little bean wouldn't be there. I'm now 37+2. My surgeon told me it was my life or babies life. I chose him. But I'm still here.Healthy as ever. WWith no worries about not making it. Dont let negative stories scare you. You are a healthy girl, with a little bean in your belly. Don't stress, it's not worth it. From 12-13weeks there is less risk of miscarriage. And as for pre term labour, dont stress. That would factor in you going into labour early. Enjoy every moment of your pregnancy. I wish you all the best sweetpea :)
Now im even more worried because no one has any positive stories :( Will i ever stop worrying :( Im gonna be 21 with a full head of grey hairs lol
I wish i could go to sleep until november lol this worry is driving me crazy! I used to be so laid back i never worried about anything, i cant stop crying and i have headaches from thinking, in the past 2 weeks ive heard of 2 girls having a miscarrige and one having twins at 22 weeks.. I just dont want that to happen me.. I pray every night but im just so scared.. I really need to stay away from google because that doesnt help.. I just thought miscarriges/stillbirths were really rare and i guess there not :(
