Pregnancy Paranoia

[citlalmina]

I had a miscarriage last year and ever since I always have this paranoia right before my period starts about whether or not I may be pregnant because my period has been weird since then. This time, it's even stranger... I don't even remember if I had a period last month because I recently moved and can't find the calendar I mark it on... I did have a pregnancy test for a medical screening though on the 9th and it was negative so... I don't know. Now I'm bloated, badly, have been for days and I'm getting odd pain sensations in my abs above my belly button and I had noticed this before I found out I was pregnant before. I took a test the day before yesterday that was negative so maybe it's just paranoia. Are there any symptoms that I should watch for that aren't likely to be PMS symptoms because I'm really worrying myself every single month about this and it's driving me crazy!

I had a miscarriage 01/06/09 at 5 weeks. I got pregnant right after the miscarriage 1/11/09. I am now almost 9 weeks. Never thought it was possible to get pregnant that fast after a m/c but I guess I am just really fertile. :) I understand what you are feeling becuase everyday I am scared I am going to see spotting. It's a constant fear even though I have passed the point when I had the m/c. I am just taking one day at a time and trusting in God. I feel like maybe this is God's second chance for me. Good luck to you and try not to stress. :)

i agree with Joy.  I had 2 MC's within 5 months and then got pregnant again and i just gave birth to my handsome son exactly 4 weeks ago.  dealing with a MC is very difficult but you will have a perfect lil one soon.

try to stop stressing.  stress caused your period to be late,early and even not at all.

One miscarriage doesn't mean you'll have another. It's actually quite common and almost every woman experiences one or two in her lifetime (though many go undetected as they occur around the time a period is due).

I've had 2 miscarriages and I have 2 daughters. I'm currently pregnant again. Yes, I worry and get nervous and wonder what will happen, but in the end I'm very excited for each and every day I am blessed to be pregnant.

No matter what happens know you have support here. I would say, wait another week for your period and take a test next Tuesday if it doesn't show.
