Dreams of miscarriage?

[Kaylee_Frye]

OKOK, so I am really trying to hold my head together on this.  I know I have a history and that I can't freak out until the first u/s.  After miscarrying in Sept, not so long ago -- the "thrill" of finding out I'm pregnant has subsided and I'm finding myself lingering in thoughts of miscarriage.

Is anyone else having this problem?  I'm even freaking dreaming about it!  And I don't think this worry is even healthy for the baby.  I'm not spotting, my symptoms are in full bloom and I have no physical reason to think anything is wrong....

How do you guys manage this worry?  This pregnancy thing is truly patience-trying.

Hey! I have the same problem! I thankfully was able to carry my baby boy to term last april, but through the entire pregnancy I had dreams of miscarrying. They were so scary and I thought for sure they were real!! This time around I am still scared to death about it, but I am having normal symptoms so far and no spotting or cramping. I am however having crazy, insane dreams every other day. But thankfully not about miscarrying. (not yet anyway) Stay positive and try not to worry too much. But I do know how you feel after having gone through 2 myself. It's in God's hands!! =)

I'm also very afraid of m/c. This is how I deal....not that it will help, but maybe....

I am a Christian. I believe that when I get preg, how I get preg, if I stay preg, etc, is all up to Him. So, I pray, a lot!  Before you read on I just want to say I'm including this pray for my sake and yours. I'm not in any way trying to push my believes or make anyone feel one way or another. If you do not believe in God and Christ, don't read it. But if you do, I sincerely hope this helps you. I pray this every day...along with other things.

I pray, "Lord, I know you are powerful enough to create life and take life. I am humbled to know that you have listened to MY prayers and answered them. I am so thankful for this pregnancy and every day you give me with my child-to-be. I just ask that it will be your Will for me to carry this miracle to term. If I do not, I know that you are not punishing me or wanting bad things for me. I know that if this baby dies that I have no control and that there was nothing more that I could have done. I thank you for the peace of mind you have given me and ask for it to continue. I will never blame you for the decisions you make for my family. I know you love me and I love you too. Your son died for me and I can't begin to imagine to agony you felt that day. Lord, that day taught me to feel love and I pray that whatever happens with this pregnancy that I will still feel that love. I pray all of this in the precious name of you son, Christ Jesus, amen."

HTH!!  Oh, just know that you'll have wacky dreams during pregnancy. I had one that I gave birth to a head... no body, no limbs, just a head. Now that, is weird!!   :-)

You ladies are just great!  Thanks for listening and I definitely AM encouraged.  I know I'm not alone and friends are just one post away :)

Yup - pushing bad thoughts that do no good out of my mind and I'm focused on calm anticipation for meeting my little jelly bean on Feb 25th.

Avik: good luck on your u/s.  Let us know how it goes!!

I know exactly how you feel!!! This is my first pregnancy so I'm so afraid of miscarriage its not even funny! I try to stay positive, and like you, I have no bleeding/spotting or cramps. Everything is fine. Im just so freaked out about how often it happens! Knowing I will be devastated if I lost this baby! My first appt is tomorrow @ 9 but im not sure what they'll do or if they'll give me and u/s so soon. Just letting you know that you're definitely not alone! And stress is not good for the baby, so I try to stay occupied. Talk on the phone, or watch a funny movie. It seems to help a bit, but it comes back eventually. I just can't wait for the second trimester! Anyways, I hope that helps a little, if not you can always talk to me about it! Stay strong and have faith! ***
