TW: Miscarriage Mention

I’m 8 wks today and am constantly scared about miscarriage. I had an US at 7 wks and everything was perfect they said and I’m not having cramping, spotting or anything like that. Why am I still so scared of miscarrying?

Side note- I have no symptoms other than hunger, fatigue, and food aversions so sometimes I feel like I’m not pregnant

If you saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks, the risk of miscarriage drops off pretty substantially! It’s hard not to worry, I am similar. I find the “miscarriage calculator” reassuring by telling me each day what my chance of NOT miscarrying is. 🙂

Welcome to my world. I had a miscarriage last year at six weeks and I would not wish that on my worst enemy is a horrible feeling now I’m pregnant again with my rainbow baby and I feel the same way. I have an appointment this Wednesday and when I tell you, I’m so nervous I just feel like they’re gonna tell me again oh there’s no heartbeat detected but I hope all the best for you and wishing you a happy and healthy nine months

It’s normal! You’ll relax a little bit when you hit the second trimester. I just stopped worrying so much today after I went to an elective ultrasound and saw him moving around. I’m 16w5d, but I hadn’t felt him move yet and it’s my second baby. So I just needed the peace of mind! Now that I saw him, I feel a lot better.

Your fear is completely reasonable! My first pregnancy in the beginning of 2024 ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks now I’m 16 weeks pregnant today with my rainbow baby and I still worry the best thing to do is try to stay as positive as you can ✨💕
