Anyone else anxious about MC?

Question

9 weeks tomorrow and I'm so nervous about MC. Trying to stay positive.

Answer

All the time.. I had a miscarriage last October at 6 weeks with no heartbeat and this pregnancy I’ve made it to 7 weeks and a heartbeat of 128! I’ve made up my mind to stay positive because I can’t change Gods plan and I know this will be our healthy rainbow baby! It always crosses my mind though and it’s hard for me to get as excited as I know would’ve been had I not experienced a mc before.

Answer

Yes. I’ll be 9 weeks tomorrow as well and it definitely makes me anxious especially since I haven’t had my first ultrasound yet (Monday though). Sometimes this app does more harm than good in the beginning of pregnancy because there are so many stories about people having miscarriages that it just seems to make you feel like it’s so super common even though the percentage of it isn’t super super high. Just take some deep breaths. Know that if anything were to happen, it isn’t your fault. And the best thing to do especially for baby is to just keep your head up and not stress because the extra stress isn’t good on the baby.

Answer

I feel like coming on the forum is bad for me, yet here I am. I will be 11 weeks Sunday and I thought once I got to 10 weeks I could relax, but then someone posts a story about having a MC at this stage and I freak out again. I already had my first ultrasound, heartrate was 168, and I was gonna announce then but now I’m waiting for the next on May 24 to make sure everything is okay. I don’t want to rush my pregnancy, I truly want to savor this, but I don’t think I’ll be okay til 13 weeks.

Answer

Your almost to the 2nd trimester, keep positive. Have you had your first appointment yet.

Answer

9 weeks today and I'm constantly scared. I almost feel like I'm not really allowing myself to feel attached because in so nervous about MC. But I have stayed positive and I do have all the symptoms like throwing up through out the day and my boobs hurt like hell. This is our first baby and all I want is for he or she to be healthy! I cant stop thinking the worst though and I hate it!! Sorry to vent but I just want to get to the 12 weeks and then i feel like I can enjoy this pregnancy.. good luck though to all the expecting moms!!

Answer

Terrified,  i refuse to even emotionally attach or really believe i will come ot if this with a baby until i'm pregnant 20 weeks.  This is my 6th pregnancy with 2 healthy kids. I have a pad with me pad all times. I like my boobs constantly too make sure they still hurt.  I'll be 37 when this one is due after 2+ years of trying.  This is my last attempt.

Answer

Absolutely. I’ve had two losses, one of which was a termination for medical reasons, and I’m absolutely terrified of having to terminate again or losing the baby at this stage. I had a MC at 8 weeks with my first pregnancy and baby was small enough that I didn’t ever see it pass. I feel like now that I’m almost 11 weeks and baby is much bigger it will be super traumatic if I were to lose it now. Terminating was the absolute worst experience of my life (not that I regret it, but it was physically horrible and I’m sad our baby was sick) and I’m terrified of having to go through it again. It’s super unlikely to happen again but I’m still so nervous. We have our 11 week scan on Monday and I’m crossing every finger and toe hoping it goes well and baby is healthy. We saw baby at 7 weeks but lots can change between now and then.

Answer

Me. I'm almost 8 weeks and have my first appointment with ultrasound on Monday and I'm terrified we won't see anything. :( I'm a hot mess right now.
