how do you get over the fear of miscarrying?

Question

I only found out I was pregnant 3 days ago and I'm TERRIFIED to lose this baby. I'm so attached to them already. I keep rubbing my belly and idk I just really don't know what I would do if I lost them.. going to the doctor Wednesday. hoping everything is okay so I can stop worrying.. I know it can't be good for baby.

Answer

What helped me was reminding myself that the worry won't help baby stick better. There are terrible stories of people losing babies at every stage, but there are far more people who have perfectly happy pregnancies. I would rather have spent whatever time I get to be pregnant really enjoying the experience. That way, if I do lose him, at least I enjoyed the time I had. If not, I didn't waste time during this amazing experience being worried.

Answer

The fear never goes away.
I thought after the first 12 weeks pass id be more calm . But no. I worry everyday. 😢
Just take care of yourself . Be as healthy as u can be.

Answer

When I had just gotten over mine at 12 weeks, one of my professors shared that he and his wife had lost a baby at 16 weeks, so then I started to worry about making it to 16 weeks. And so on and so on. I never really lost the fear. My son is 3 weeks and I am constantly checking to make sure he's still breathing.

Answer

For it passed once I got a little further into my 2nd trimester after all the genetic tests and anatomy scan were done.

Answer

You never get over it. I'm 32 weeks and thought once I hit my second trimester I would feel more comortable, but I didn't feel any better. Then I thought when I hit 24 week viability I would feel better, but still didn't. Still scares me to death everyday. You just have to take it a day at a time.

Answer

I didn't get over the fear til after my 12 week ultrasound, and even after that I still got very nervous before my 19 week ultrasound aswell, kinda like it's too good to be true and at some point they're gonna tell me something is wrong, yknow? But so far, so good!

However, I did find that doing weekly blood tests in the first 9 weeks to check my HCG was rising really helped put my mind at ease, and when I spotted it helped calm me down when I went to the hospital and they did an ultrasound to show baby was fine, and then followed up with two other ultrasounds a week or two later to check up (:

Answer

It never went away for me, with my first pregnancy the thought didn't even cross my mind until it happened and then I lost baby #2 & #3 aswell. 😔 unfortunately it's just a cruel part of nature

Answer

To me it never went away! I just never believed that my little one would be in my arms .. just stay positive!

Answer

There is no getting over the fear. I've lost two little angels. Both were very early, but even at almost 26 weeks pregnant, I fear every day that she will be gone in a moment's notice. But there is comfort in waking up every day knowing that she is still there. Your fear is because you love your baby. And that is beautiful.

Answer

First off, congratulations!! 🤗

As for the fear...I've gone through 3MCs in a row and they were all horrible. When I became pregnant this time around (27w today!), I made a decision whilst holding my positive hpt that I was going to let myself be happy this time, and that I was going to enjoy this for as long as it lasted. My husband, on the other hand, couldn't get excited and he remained worried/anxious/stressed out until we had a healthy anatomy scan at 19w. I understood as he's had to watch me and look after me with each MC. Honestly, it was only at 21w that he finally started smiling and talking to the baby. Two different attitudes, same baby.
