Has anyone else been scared?

Question

This is my first baby and I’ve had a miscarriage before but I am just so nervous cause I don’t wanna lose this one. I’m testing like once or twice a day at first because my lines weren’t that dark yet but now they are and I’m just nervous cause I don’t know what feels right or wrong in pregnancy. Any advice to new time moms?

Answer

Try and keep calm mama, remember that stress is the enemy of pregnancy, your baby needs you to stay calm and relaxed. I miscarried at 6 weeks after having bleeding and with my current pregnancy I bled again at 6 weeks and things were fine! You have no evidence you are losing your baby, so I suggest what I did - celebrate EVERY DAY. Celebrate every week milestone. You have a miracle inside you - truly - ask any of us women who have waited and struggled to concieve. Babys are miracles. Your baby deserves to be celebrated every day its alive and yours. Every week I sing "Happy Howevermanyweeks Baby!" and talk to my belly, even in those early days they couldnt hear me. If focuaing on pregnancy makes you stress, pick something to focua on to distract yourself. Preparing for the holidays, a house project you want done before baby comes, a craft. Distract yourself from stress. And if youre really having high anxiety, find someone to talk to about it and help you through. My therapist has been a rock for me during this time and I wouldnt be making it through this well without her. 
Congratulations on your pregnancy momma, try to enjoy it!!! You deserve to! Hang in there. Trimester 2 is right around the corner!

Answer

I feel this to my core! I had a chemical pregnancy before my baby girl, and I tested up until my first OB appointment at 10 weeks like a mad woman because I was so terrified. Testing can be a double edged sword, especially if you’re continuously comparing the darkness of the lines! Some may have more dye than others even if it’s the same brand and it could freak you out. Try to just enjoy this time and take it day by day! You are not alone. My baby girl is 19 months now and healthy as can be! I’m pregnant with baby number 2 now, 6 weeks pregnant and still nervous this time around, it’s such an unknown time. I am a bit more calm though since I’ve been here before. Wishing you and your baby all the best! ♥️

Answer

it’s completely normal, i had bleeding with my second baby and i was so scared the rest of my pregnancy, the anxiety is definitely normal 🥲
have you scheduled an appointment yet with your OB, if you’ve had previous miscarriages they might want to monitor your HCG levels.
