Worry wort?!

Question

Okay this is my first pregnancy and I worry about everything, miscarrying to where I check percentages online weekly, I check what foods I can and can't eat and I google everything . I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and don't have an ultrasound or find out anything til January 20. Can anybody help put my mind at ease?

Answer

In the 3 years of TTC, I've done a looot of research about everything pregnancy and have found that each woman and each pregnancy is so vastly different, you just can't get answers. Your one symptom could mean one thing for one pregnancy, and a different thing for yours. There's really no point in researching every single symptom. My current approach is to research only about what my baby is doing each week, and to enjoy whatever I get of this pregnancy. Researching won't change the outcome of your pregnancy. I think you'll know when something is wrong and you need to call the Dr or go to the ER. This pregnancy is your own unique journey to experience and enjoy and document as you please :) Let it be the wonder that it is, and allow yourself to be in awe of the wonderful changes that are happening!

Girl, I'm right there with you! I went for my first ultrasound yesterday bc according to my last period, I should be 7weeks along. Well the ultrasound only showed a sac. My OB is now saying I possibly ovulated later than normal and now I'm 5 weeks pregnant or... that I am 7 weeks along and it's a blighted ovum. I have to go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound to hopefully see something other than the gestational sac. It will be a long two weeks so I'm in the same boat as you. Praying for a little nugget to appear and our calculations were just wrong 🙏🏼 . Positive vibes and encouragement welcome! Been ttc for 6 months now.

Answer

I went to the emergency room for bad cramps and they did a transvaginal ultrasound. I'm 5 weeks and 3 days and the baby is where it's suppose to be although they just say it's only a sac

Answer

I'm 9w tomorrow and have my 4th scan tomorrow! I'm lucky my ob specializes in fertility issues, so he is doing scans quite often. You can always ask for a viability scan at 7w and that should put your mind at ease. My ob said that once they hear a heartbeat the miscarriage rate drops to 5%.

Answer

I've had 2 miscarriages in the last year nothing can help stop or prevent them from happening its just one of those unfortunate things :( 
But to put my mind at rest I booked a early reassurance scan for yesterday and was exactly 7 weeks I suggest them 100% for putting your mind at ease I feel more relieved now knowing everything is exactly how it should be 
Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months :) xx
