5 weeks with my first baby, how does everyone cope with worrying about a miscarriage?

Question

Hi ladies! I found out 5 days ago that I'm expecting my first baby due Feb 5th 2019! I get occasional nausea, slight cramps, a tiny bit of back pain and a headache yesterday and I'm exhausted by 11am haha. My question for you ladies is this, how have/do you cope with worrying about a miscarriage? My symptoms seem normal so that eases my mind a little, but its not uncommon for women to lose their babies unexpectedly. I didn't plan this baby but it's already everything to me! The thought of losing my little bean breaks my heart and frightens me and stress is bad for the baby 😅 First time mum and I'm learning as I go so any and all advice is highly appreciated 😊

Answer

I was really worried and still am. I think it’s something that doesn’t go away. Just try to trust your body! I feel like from now on to the rest of your life you’ll always have something to worry about being a mom!

Answer

I was terrified for the first 12 weeks, every time I peed and wiped I would HAVE to check to see if I was bleeding. The worry eventually passes and now I have a 5 week old baby sleeping on my lap.

Answer

First of all, good luck and everything is going to be just fine🎉😄You have no reason to worry and most pregnancies go according to plan and so will this one👍🎈🙋‍♀️Don't really know how to deal with this myself as I was scared too. I had a miscarriage with my first. It was a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks, I just came for a sono and there was no heartbeat. The baby was EVERYTHING to us and I was scared to lose it and then I did. And then it took us 7 months of painful and desperate TTC to get pregnant again. It was probably the most anxiety filled pregnancy there is. Just an extreme state of fear, that's what it was. Every. Single. Moment. Till my son was born😍The pregnancy itself was fine but I was going crazy with fear till the end. I tried so hard to relax but it was in vain. Everyone told me to calm down but I couldn't. After 35 weeks I would panick so hard my blood pressure would rise and then I would panic some more. Never had high blood pressure in my life till then and it was gone after delivery. Now I'm 23 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and I was soooooo relaxed compared to my previous experience. Honestly, I just feel happy and blessed. However, sometimes I remember how abruptly it can all end and it makes me want to jump out of my skin and cringe.

Answer

same here baby girl and the fact that im 5w2d and bleeding slightly pink when i use the bathroom doesn't help the anxiety of fear for another loss. I'm 23 this will be my first successful pregnancy out of 2. i wish you the best i will keep you I my prayer. your story is very similar to mine.

Answer

I lost our daughter September 3rd and am currently 12 weeks today with our second baby girl as crazy as it sounds I knew the day I found out I was pregnant something was wrong the entire 10 weeks we made it with her just didn't feel right and sure enough I was right. This entire pregnancy I have been worried something is going to happen but I just remind my self the more stress I'm under the more the chances of something going wrong will be take it day by day all that matters today is baby is still there and healthy.
