Scared

I am 8weeks pregnant will be 9tomorrow....I had an u/s a week ago I seen my baby's heartbeat. It was a sigh of releif being I just had a miscarriage Sept last year.  I have 3 boys and this pregnancy is different or at least I feel like it. I have no stomach at all.I'm constanly looking for the bump.....Nothing.....
The only time I feel pregnant is when i'm sick as crap or have a headache. I'm so worried that I have miscarried again What should I do? No bleeding or cramps but I have seen all the talk about missed miscarriage.... My appt is not until Aug 19 I don't think I will have a brain by then. Helpppp.

I am now 12 weeks and barely showing like very very very tiny only can tell if I'm naked but once you see a heartbeat chances of m/c are very slim and at nine weeks chances drop even more. At 11wks my OB said chances of m/c were less than one percent. Hang in there!

Honestly I had a missed m/c and by the time I was 12 weeks my belly looked almost as big as it does now at 28 weeks with my current pregnancy. My m/s disappeared as well. I know its hard, but when you've seen a strong HB then your chances of having a missed m/c have signifigantly gone down. My OB told me at 9 weeks when I saw the HB I only had a 3% chance of having another m/c.
I still drive everyone nuts sometimes with my constant worry, though now I worry about things like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes lol.

I had a m/c right before this pregnancy.  I was nervous up until about 15 weeks as well.  I really started relaxing at about 10-12 weeks, though.  I read that at 9 weeks there is a reduced chance of miscarriage and that made me feel better.  
This is my 3rd baby, 5th pregnancy and I didn't have a bump until about 14 weeks.

I'm sorry you are scared. I was really nervous up until...well...really this week! I'm 15 weeks.
I never thought I would make it this far and some days were painfully slow. I know it is hard but hang in there! Your appointment will be here before you know it...and so will your belly! Mine just popped out last week all of a sudden.

I am on my 2nd healthy pregnancy after 5 m/c's.  Each time it has been different.  The only consistent reassurance I have had is once I felt the baby kicking at 14 weeks.  Even still at 25+ weeks, if I go a couple hours without noticing movement, I get that rush of fear. I am trying to sit back and enjoy each day...

Only thing you can do is relax and be glad that you still have symptoms. Pregnancy after a miscarriage is hard but if youve already seen the heartbeat then your chance of miscarrying goes way down. Also, first 12 weeks of pregnancy your uterus is below your pubic bone so you wouldnt be showing yet so there is no reason to stress about that.
