How to ease my mind? Scared of losing this baby 😭

Question

I’m almost 5 weeks. No bleeding, I feel all pregnancy symptoms Progressing daily. I’m just so scared everytime I have to use the bathroom there will be blood. I’m terrified due to my last pregnancy. Any tips on how to relax and actually enjoy this? I’m stressing out so badly and so scared. I’ve been on prenatals for 3 months now even before pregnancy, Metformin, lost weight, stopped drinking 100% and smoking 4-5 months ago, don’t drink ANY caffeine for awhile, only water and milk. I’m doing all I can.

Answer

I had a total of 6 misscariages and had lost all hope. It took us 9years but we finally had our rainbow baby 9 weeks ago. My whole 1st and half of my 2nd trimester was so hard to enjoy and it now looking back at it, it makes me so sad that I couldn't enjoy half my pregnancy cause of fear.. my advice is that as hard it is and with that fear, just find a happy place and talk to your partner.. I had this Small prayer that I found online and I would read it 1-2 a day. I hope you get your rainbow baby, be strong.💙

Answer

You just need to wake up every morning with a smile on your face that YOURE PREGNANT! That's it. Don't over think it and just be happy. That's the only thought you should have.
I went through rounds of IVF, and I'd always lose around the 4-5th week, and I remember having convos with a close family member after my transfer once talking about "I hope it works for good this time" blah blah, and he just looked at me funny and said something along the lines "what do you mean IF it worked?? It did work. You're pregnant. You can't think "ifs". Just positive thinking"
Well that really did wonders on me. He was right. I changed my attitude about it and I did just that. I know it's not the positive thinking that made the last transfer into a successful pregnancy, but my experience mentally day to day was much more pleasant and easy on me

Answer

Praying that you have a peace that surpasses all understanding and that your body & baby operate according to Gods will! You will carry full term🙏🏾💙

Answer

I had a very hard loss with my first pregnancy, and honestly I’m still scared of ultrasounds and when the doctor tries with the Doppler. I’ve had 2 kids after that and I’m 14 weeks with my 3rd. I still check after I use the bathroom, and if I don’t see blood then I breathe and go about my day. I do things to distract myself and help focus on other things, it helps but the fear is always there. I struggle to enjoy pregnancy until I can start feeling baby move. You can find things to help and distract you but honestly depending on how things happened last time some fear will probably stay you just can’t dwell on it

Answer

Just trust in the knowledge that you're doing all you can to bring this baby into the world. Also the online miscarriage probability calculator is super helpful to me

Answer

Hey girl! I don't know your story but maybe I can ease your mind? I have PCOS also take Metformin. My first pregnancy ended in MC at 5 weeks. Then I got pregnant again a year later and had my rainbow baby. I think if you've only had 1 MC (which is VERY common) then the chances of your following pregnancy is even lower to end in MC. If that makes sense. Just try not to stress. Pregnancy is a biological process not a medical emergency. Your body is working hard. Be proud for every milestone you hit. A lot of women end up having a normal healthy pregnancy after MC. You can do this. There is also a misscarriage probability chart you can Google it it shows you the percentage of where you are at in your pregnancy and chance of MC. The farther along you get the less chance. Good luck!
