Anyone else nervous about losing their pg?

[adensmom]

I've never had a mc. I hope I never do. And I know everytime I'm a bit nervous through the first trimester.

I just keep stumbling across mama's here who were due in Nov but have lost their babies. It just makes me so sad...:cry: ....and increases my anxiety. I know there's nothing I can do either way (besides take care of myself), but I don't know what I'd do if something happened this time....

I was very overwhelmed when I found out about this pg. But now I'm really starting to warm up to the idea....I've even stocked up on S and XS thirsties covers already (hope I don't jinx it!)...if something happened I'd just feel so guilty about the way I felt at the beginning....kwim?

Hopefully all this worry is for nothing....praying that we all make it the whole 40 weeks and have happy, healthy babies.

Just wondering if you all were anxious as well....:hugs:

I am nervous about this pregnancy too!

Background: I had a very normal by-the-book pregnancy with my ds in 2002, so when I found out I was preggo in 2005, I wasn't nervous a bit, then I started spotting and miscarried July 2005. I found out that my progesterone levels were low.

5 months later I was pregnant with dd and was so nervous the WHOLE time until she was safely in my arms - I had to be on prog. pills until the 14th week.

So this time, yes, I am nervous and I told my ob/gyn (had to get a new one this time) about my low prog. last time and they are checking for any abnormalities so that I can get on the supplement if need be!

I was totally shocked with this pregnancy, but would be devastated if I lost it!!!! It is really scary!!!

:hugs: You're just now 6 weeks right? I'm 6 on Thurs. I've just been seeing woment losing their babes up into the ninth and tenth weeks. Scarey. I don't really have any reason to *think* that there will be a problem....3 very normal, very average pregnancies so far....but there's alway that chance.

I guess, this being such a large forum, there's bound to be a greater chance of "bumping into" people suffering from pg loss....is just unsettling I guess.

I have a hard time with all of the losses as well. I've never had a miscarriage myself. (I had an ectopic pregnancy but I had no idea I was pregnant and didn't WANT to be pregnant at the time.)

I've also had several people close to me miscarry recently, so I worry a LOT. Whereas with my other pregnancies, it never even crossed my mind. I got a BFP and was like "Alright, we're having a baby in 9 months." Now I'm like "We *might* be having a baby...."

It's tough. I've also been spotting for almost 4 weeks and my progesterone is semi low so now I'm having to take Prometrium. It's a completely different world for me, and really quite scary.

Heather-

You and I have the same due date :) Any morning sickness? I'm symptom free so far...

I'm nervous. The day I told my sis I was pregnant she told me she was having a m/c. I felt so bad because mine is unplanned and she had been TTC for months. It's putting me on edge and I'm nervous that I don't feel that pregnant. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow so it is very early and I keep feeling my boobs to see if they're sore (LOL). I'm nervous about having this baby since we don't have another bedroom (he/she will have to share dd's TINY room) and I can't afford 2 kids in daycare with my salary, but I can't imagine how I'd feel if I lost him/her.

Just hoping the next few weeks fly by smoothly. My new OB office wants an US at 8 weeks so I'll have some clarity by then.

[MatildasMum]

I know what you mean, Whit. I'm 6w4d and if I had not POAS, I wouldn't think I was pregnant. It's weird.

Yay! for the same due date! I actually started a thread under Due In Nov 08....but yes, I have been a little nauseous - especially if it is time to eat. My breast have been really sore too.....

[dolphin_hrd]

It is very normal to feel nervous about it.....and it is more common than we think. Since now they have over-the-counter early pregnancy tests, we find out much sooner than they used too. If I hadn't known with my m/c, then I would have thought I just had a late, heavy period. When I had mine, I found out that lots of people close to me had gone through it too and I didn't even know about it! ((((((HUGS)))))) and I hope you can be put at ease soon!!!

Well I was nauseous for a short time and then that went away. I did get to see the h/b at 7w 4days and all looked good. I still worry though, checking the TP everytime I wipe!
Currently 9wks 3days. Wouldn't know I was preggo either, accept I'm showing! :blush:

[adensmom]

Hugs to all...here's hoping we all have an uneventful first triemester! I don't get to see my ob until 10 weeks!!! Normally it's between 8-10 weeks, but we couldnt' work out a date until 9w6d. At least I might get to see something interesting on the us. If there are any problems before then, they'll see me asap. With my first I spotted on and off through the whole 1st trimester, with the longest episode lasting a whole week. They brought me in for an u/s very quickly, and seeing the hb was very reasurring.

[Bella Catalina]

I am nervous... 9w3d here and I miscarried in January at 9w4d. I am using a NPC again this time and hoping for the best but I cannot relax and I cannot feel attached to this pregnancy. I have had major (for me) m/s this time and I still can't feel at ease. With the m/c I think the progesterone was holding onto the pregnancy even after the baby had died, so I can't help but worry about the same again, although I have seen a hb.

[upstategirl]

I'm nervous. With my first I was a bit nervous but, never really thought about it. It took us about three years to get pregnant this time. I think that's why I'm so nervous. I will be 9 weeks tomorrow so I'm almost over the hill. Good thoughts for all of us. :)

[TJR2119]

While I wasn't terribly nervous at first, I am now. Seeing how many people have m/c makes me wonder if I am next. My symptoms seem promising but you never know.

Hey! Happy to see you here! I have been off the computer lately so I haven't been keeping up with things!

[vickieboggs]

I have never had a m/c but at the same time until my babies were in my arms I was never ever ever at ease. I've know several moms that have lost there babies well into the pregnancy (inc one at 28 weeks and one lady that lost her baby on her due date)....so I was never able to fully enjoy my pg in that regard.

I just did my best to not think about it and I just did all that I could to be healthy and just know that whatever happens happens and there really isn't anything you can do.

I hope you have a wonderful 40weeks and an amazing birth.

[adensmom]

yeah....I have a cousin who lost her last one at 17weeks (last Nov. I think). They're pretty sure it was a chromosomal defect....but it was devestating.

[krgolden]

I'm so nervous. I had a miscarriage in Dec and it's made me so scared that it will happen again. I had a blighted ovum and found out I would miscarry at 8 weeks. I didn't miscarry until 12 weeks though so it was a month of high emotions and lots of sadness. I had some bleeding on Sunday night (a few days ago) and started bawling as soon as I saw it. I have had some bleeding with each of my pregnancies, but I just kept saying that I couldn't go through it again. We went to the ER on Monday (my doc was out of town) and after being there ALL day and being so scared we finally saw our little bean on u/s with the heartbeat and everything. I started crying and was so happy. I only hope this means that things will go better, but I'm still concerned. I had been expecting heartbreak the whole time we were at the ER until I saw that little heart beating strongly. What a relief!

[rachel5]

I'm really not a worrier. I have had 3 miscarriages and it was hard but I believe they happen for a reason. I have not been worried with this one. I am more the unemotional type though. I feel as that what is meant to be will happen.
