sharing my fear

[futuremum]

Hi,
i wanted to share my thoughts with you. i am 8w5d pregnant but i am so scared of miscarriage. My doctor didn't to give me any medicine but i insisted cause i am so scared.so i am now on Utrogestan 100 and proluton depot. i will have another ultrasound thursday. i do not know if this is normal to feel that scared specially that i lost a pregnany on my 5th week last year. i needed to share this with you ladies. i cannot imagine that i will lose this one too. i saw and heard the heartbeats and it was really amazing. i am so scared to get attached to it. cause the first loss was really hard not only on me but also on my great great husband.
Thank you very much

A friend had a son, three m/c's - and then another son.  She said she was nervous every day of her most recent pregnancy.  I had two early term m/c's and am now 36.5 weeks pregnant - I won't rest assured until I'm holding a little person in my arms.  I think what you're feeling is the norm around this forum.  As you can see from the posts already...

you are not alone in these fears! ive suffered 2 m/c's....5w3d and 6w4d and im now 8w3d and have my first u/s on thursday. im trying not to go nuts, but it is hard when you have the fears you have. best of luck with everything and dont ever feel silly for whatever thoughts or feeling you do have :)

I feel the exact same way and this is my very first pregnancy. Many of my friends have miscarried. When I finally got pregnant, I started to worry about the possiblity of miscarriage as well. I have done everything possible to prevent it. I was a big coffee drinker and have given up all caffeiene. I've done everything I could to prevent a miscarriage and left the rest up to nature :)

I am 11 weeks pregnant today and am going to my doctors appointment in 6 hours. I am hoping the doctor will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat using the doppler so it will finally put my mind at ease. I've been worried sick since my symptoms have vanished and I started to get cramps.

I know the first 12 weeks are very nerve wracking, however, we need to stay calm and strong for our babies. They can feel the stress we go through. As KM604 said, take it one day at a time, and enjoy each day! :)

Congrats on your pregnancy!

I am about 5 1/2 weeks right now and am going through the same thing as you. I m/c'd in December last year and didn't even know that I was pregnant when I m/c'd.  This is the first time I have gotten the chance to feel excited about the pregnancy, as well as my family and friends (I've told the people that I know I would turn to if I did m/c again).  But the thing my mom tells me, is you need to take it one day at a time.  Focus on what you have in your stomach right now and take care of that.  I have my nerves causing my bowel movements to be all screwed up, on top of feeling constipated and nauseaus from being pregnant.  If you are going to m/c, it will happen no matter what you do (assuming you aren;t taking any risks).  I know how hard it is to feel positive, but that's all I can do right now.  My numbers so far are good for how far along I am and my next appt. won't be for another 3-4 weeks.  So I just hope to make it to there and hear the heartbeat and see my baby.  Just want to let you know you are not the only one in this situation and you have plenty of women on here that are here for you.  Good lcuk with everything and congratulations!

From what I encounter around here, what you're feeling is pretty normal. It isn't unusual to feel especially scared after experiencing a loss such as you have. You have addressed the issue and are at terms with your fears rather than avoiding them, and as long as you can be reasonable about them and try not to let them take over your mind throughout your pregnancy, to the point where you cannot enjoy it, it is not always a bad thing to be a little afraid or cautious. Just do your best to stay positive.
Good luck.
