How do you stay calm in between appointments?

Question

I'm seeing my doctor once a month now. I'm 13 weeks. I can't help but worry sometimes since I've had 2 early miscarriages last year. How do you stay calm during appointments? Do you use a Doppler or just try to relax and not think about it? Thanks for any input

Answer

I was always nervous in the beginning. But once you start to feel your baby moving on a daily basis your worries ease off alot

Answer

It's totally normal to worry - you're not alone. Just think that very soon you'll be able to feel it move and that awful 'not knowing' feeling you have now will go away. I get very stressed at the beginning of my pregnancies too and I made an arrangement with a private scan company to go in once a week for a two minute scan just to make sure everything was OK. They gave me a deal on the price because all I wanted was to see the heartbeat and baby etc, they were lovely and told me I wasn't the only one. I did for about 6 weeks until I started feeling movement. It might be worth seeing if there is somewhere you can go for a two minute reassurance scan once a week? Take care, I promise this feeling won't last.

Answer

I've never had a miscarriage but I was told I'd never conceive or carry my own child, since I found out I was pregnant, I freak out with not being seen a lot. But I'm 24 weeks and baby boy is doing great, he's a little small for his "due date" but only by a week. I just tried to keep busy and called the doctor if I had any problems or questions.

OMG same situation over here. I have a 9 year old and over a year ago had 2 miscarrages in 1 year. I'm 14 weeks now. And I am always worried if there's still a heart beat or somethings wrong. Once I have my appointment I feel so much better but with in days I'm back to being nervous again. I want to buy a Doppler too. But maybe I should just believe that God has made sure everything is ok. It's not easy. I completely feel your concerns.

Answer

I had 2 heathy pregnancies & my 3rd pregnancy I miscarried. It was never a thought before & when I fell pregnant this time I got a Doppler so I can check him whenever I want in between.

Answer

Even now I get nervous for my appointments because you never know, especially with this being my first! BUT the nurses are always so great they make me less nervous and keep me calm.

Answer

In a few weeks you might be able to feel baby and know they're okay.

Answer

Well I haven't had to go through any miscarriages like you so I would probably worry a little more. But to be honest I keep it in Gods hands I dont worry over every little thing, if it is ment to be for my husband and I to have our son then we will! I just try to enjoy every aspect!

Answer

Thanks ladies. Good to know I'm not alone :)
