Do you get paranoid about miscarriage and feel like you want to take a test everyday for reassurance?!

Question

I’m currently 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant. This is my first pregnancy. I feel so worried about miscarriage as I hear how common it is in the first trimester. I feel like I want to take a pregnancy test every day just for reassurance! I think it’s because I don’t feel pregnant or have any real symptoms... That said, even if I did feel symptoms I would worry that something was wrong?! Stuck in a rut!!!

Answer

Ive had two miscarriages and I’m currently 26w2d pregnant and to be honest I don’t think you ever stop worrying really 😣 once you’ve reached 12 weeks you still worry about baby being okay and reaching viability; then you worry about them being born healthy; I think it’s natural to worry. Having said all that I love being pregnant and love my little bump 💕
Good luck with the pregnancy 💕

Answer

I miscarried at 6 weeks. I’m now 5+3 and I constantly worry and count down the day to set a new record lol I am super positive about this baby because I feel it, I feel connected and grounded and also my mother In law is very spiritual and this baby comes to her all the time which is reassuring for me 
It’s important to remember to be grateful for each day. I could waste half my pregnancy just worrying instead of embracing and celebrating.

Answer

I’ve had a miscarriage before and now I’m almost 18 weeks pregnant. 
To be honest, I don’t think testing everyday provides the reassurance. I tested for 3 days but I didn’t want to get obsessed so I made my husband hide my tests this time around. Depending how far a long you, tests aren’t always the best way to tell you’re pregnant. My miscarriage was a missed one and I was still testing positive 8 weeks after my baby died, the hormones are still in your system, earlier on its not quite the same. 
This pregnancy, I have actually remained pretty positive throughout it, i didn’t want to be stressing out over what may or may not be and just want to enjoy it. Don’t get me wrong, I still have my worries, even now and I don’t think I’ll stop having these until baby is here. But the best thing that I did and still do, is to take each day by day, one day complete is one day closer to the next milestone and baby being here. The outcome will be the same regardless how you choose to deal with it, but I’m trying to enjoy every minute of mine. 
If testing is what you need for the reassurance, then do it, I just personally feel it created more stress than it’s worth x
