Beyond Scared

I'm 9 weeks today. Last Friday I started bleeding. Went to the doctor, and saw my baby, even heard the heartbeat via ultrasound. I was put on bed rest for the rest of the weekend, and the blood pretty much stopped. I'm spotting grayish brown blood at least once a day since. I'm still nervous and frightened. Doctor said I'm not out of the woods yet.
Anyone experience anything like this? Should I prepare myself for loss?

This is actually my third pregnancy. This one is vastly different than my others, so a lot feels brand new.

My doctor wants a follow up ultrasound next week, but I'm so nervous.

I'm still cramping, and spotting, so naturally, I'm freaking out.

Im almost 18 weeks. A few weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night bleeding a lot and I felt something come out, went to the er I was devastated I thought for sure I lost her!  They didn't tell till 5 hours later I still had my baby! My doctor said my placenta was loose, I was put on bed rest then seen a specialist 2 weeks later and he said their was just a lil blood in there but it was healing on its own and he was confident everything would turn out just fine. I was taken off bed rest and so far everything is good! I stressed and worried so much and it was just a lil common thing! I'm not saying theirs nothing wrong but don't stress yourself out, take care of yourself, do what your suppose to and stay calm

Some people still experience full periods the first few months into pregnancy. If your doctor doesn't sound too concerned, I wouldn't worry too much. But what's it really to say to a new mom to "not worry" lol we all worry over nothing!!
