I am so scared!

I am in many groups and all the talk of miscarriages are causing me to worry. I am 6 weeks and don’t have my first appointments until Wednesday, 5 days away. My symptoms come and go and I think that makes it even more scary. What do you guys do to ease your mind while waiting for your first appointment? Should I just go to the ER and get a scan?

Definitely don’t go to the ER unless you’re having an emergency. You could book a private scan, but be cautious at 6 weeks you may not see much and that may stress you out more. The datayze miscarriage probability chart always helped calm my anxiety.

Symptoms will come and go throughout pregnancy. As long as you don't have any major pain or bleeding, try not to worry. If reading experiences with miscarriages is causing you more anxiety, I would suggest taking a step back from the app and reading those stories.

As long as there are no obvioussigns of a miscarriage i would relax! 5 days waiting isnt that long, most have to wait til aleast 12 weeks before anything. Look forward to your appointmentin 5 days and enjoy your days! ER wont see you. I had a miscarriage previously at aroubd 7 weeks, and they sent me home. Unfortunatelythere is nothing they can do to prevent or stop it from happening. Enjoy, and relax! Congratulations

It’s normal for your anxiety to feel heightened during your first trimester. The ER won’t tell you a lot they aren’t trained fully in giving pregnancy ultrasounds. Unless your experience bleeding and sharpe painful cramps I wouldn’t worry and just try to relax and find something to do to keep your mind busy and maybe leave the app for a little while, to stop yourself worrying more.
