Who else is worried about m/c?

[krisalee]

I had one loss- my 7th pregnancy- and I'm starting to worry this one will be a loss as well. I had just the tiniest amount of spotting yesterday, and now I'm paranoid- wondering if my symptoms are strong enough for a sticky pregnancy.

I go in on Thursday for an ultrasound- hopefully I'll see a growing baby and a heartbeat (hopefully I'm far enough along to SEE a heartbeat)

Anyone else a bit paranoid?

[Terrilein]

Of course, I'm worried. I won't breathe freely until I'm holding my baby in my arms at home.

I barely have any symptoms at all, aside from maybe the occasiaonal queasiness and emotions all over the place, but I was the exact same with both of my other pregnancies, and both of those little beans are getting ready for school right now. : )

Yup, that. I will breathe a bit easier if/when I see a hb 5 weeks from now...

I constantly worry that what I'm feeling isn't normal. I just try and stay busy and enjoy the pregnancy for however long it may last.

[Blanca78]

Yes, definitely. I'm afraid I'm too excited right now, because I might be setting myself up for even worse heartbreak if it doesn't stick. DH keeps cautioning me not to run away with planning just yet. I know he's right, but I can't help myself. My first prenatal appt. isn't until Dec. 2 (delayed because of Thanksgiving)--which I think is about the 8 week mark? That's normal, right, for low-risk pregnancies? I just worry because I know people who showed up for that ultrasound and discovered the embryo had stopped developing. How does my doctor know for sure I'm low risk if I've never been pregnant before? (Okay, I JUST had a pelvic exam and she said everything looked good (two days before I got my bfp!) and I don't think I have any risk factors...but still, I worry. Miscarriages happen.

Last night was my first night trying to sleep without my insomnia meds that I've taken for years. It was rough...I woke up around 2:30 wide awake. BUT, the nice thing was, I lay there and I could feel the abdominal twinges and pressure I've been feeling the last couple days. I just know this is my body moving itself around in preparation for an expanding uterus. It was so exciting! Does anyone else feel these little muscle twinges? They're in my lower abdomen and the tops of my hips.

[jazzybaby9]

Yes, the twinges and mild expanding...makes it sooo real, and yes, I'm scared of m/c...very nervous, but so excited for everything to unfold

[ScarletBegonias]

for sure, after 3 losses, i never feel settled until the 1st trimester is over.

[Surfacing]

I had one loss before dd1 and this was very faint. So I'm nervous. : Hope all our babies stick

I didn't do this with either of my previous pregnancies, but this time around, I decided to do a 2nd POAS test about 5 days after my first BFP, just to be sure. Luckily, I saw a nice strong double line!

I've actually poas every day since I got my bfp through yesterday just to make sure the line was still there, and that it was showing up darker/faster.
So yeah, I'm worried.

[Chris10AS]

I had a loss in August so yes I'm definitely a little worried this time around.

I'm using my last one tomorrow, which it's hard to believe is still only 15 dpo. So much has changed in the last few days! Then I'm going to buy a 3-pack, one for each week until my first doctor's appointment.
