Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility Support Group

I can totally relate, as I am 7 weeks pregnant, after having 2 consecutive miscarriages. I am just so intune to my body, almost way too much, that every little pang and cramp I feel, I get scared. I thought that seeing my dr last week at 6 weeks, would put my mind at ease after doing an ultrasound, but she could not 100% see a heartbeat, and I left there even more scared! I go again next week, as she said it was too early to see it...I hope that is the reason.

Anyways, I have been filled with so much anxiety, I actually asked her to prescribe me something for it, and she did. I can tell you that I feel a lot calmer, but the worry will always be there. I just keep telling myself that I am doing my part, and the rest is out of my control. It is hard, I know. Hang in there!!

Yea I'm six weeks and a few days and I just came from the hospital because I was spotting and cramping. They saw a heartbeat though and let me see it so it did ease my worries a little bit but I'm still terrified of loosing my baby.
I have a panic disorder and had to stop my meds when I found out I was pregnant but I have a behavioral health appointment on the 27th. I hope they can prescribe me something to calm down a little without hurting the baby

i wish i could answer your question. But the worry never goes. I miscarried my 1st and then after being told i coud concieve due to my tubes being blocked. I then conceived. the worry started. I had an early scan and then spotted and then bled alot. But the baby stayed. I thought that once i got passed when i miscarried last time iw oud stop worrying. ut i didnt. I then thought once i get to the 2nd trimester i would stop worring. I didnt. Then i thought once i feel her move i would. But i didnt. Im 23 weeks now and my baby is measuring 25 weeks. So doing well. I think in till she is safely in my arms im gonna worry. Buit its naturally

I wish I had an answer for you but I feel the same way. I notice that every time I go to the bathroom I am looking for a sign that everything is ok and nothing has gone wrong. I am constantly feeling every little thing going on with my body too. I thought it would stop but I am 24 weeks and the scared feelings are still there. Good luck and I hope they leave you soon!

Now I'm spotting again! Its not much, very light, but I don't think you should spot this often. I'm so scared.

I am sorry you are feeling all this anxiety & worry, but what you are feeling is absolutley normal. It is good you are on this board because the support and encouragement is wonderful....sometimes I feel like this is the only place I can find someone who understands what I am going through.
I had two wonderful pregnancies with no complications at all. Then last year after trying for a year we had a bfp. I miscarried at 10w5d. I didn't expect it but we were pregnant again right away. That was a blighted ovum that I miscarried at 8wks. It all felt unreal & devastating at the same time.

At the begining of August we found out I was pregnant again. My doctor had me in for a 5 wk & 7wk ultra sound which helped relieve the anxiety until I experienced bleeding at 9wks. I had another u/s and one at 11wks and 15 wks, but even though I saw the baby, the heart and even movement I didn't start feeling better until I saw a specialist at 16weeks and I watched him measure everything. I still look for signs when I visit the bathroom, but it is lifting a little.
After spending time on the m/c board I have learned about people with sories worse than mine. That information doesn't leave your thoughts. I worried about my prego symptoms coming and going. I worried about every pain and discomfort. I am still worried at 19weeks, but I am trying to relax and enjoy the pregnancy.

But the way to get through it is to do what is best for your baby. Eat right, drink plenty of water, take your vitamins, rest a lot, call the doctor when you have questions. Don't hold your worries in. Talk to your husband or your friends or your family, or express your concerns here....of course always be open with your doctor, that is why I had so much extra care!

Take it day by day and don't underestimate the power of faith and hope. Remember that this pregnancy is a different pregnancy.

Hi...I know EXACTLY how you feel. I lost a baby at 6 months last March and then had a miscarriage last June. I am now 8 and a half weeks pregnant, but still terrified of something going wrong. I spotted at about 5 weeks and then I bled heavily at 5 and half weeks for about 4 days. I was certain I'd lost the baby, but I didn't. I also had cramping and lower back pain. And I have definitely spotted again, since. So, bleeding and spotting don't necessairly mean the baby is not ok. So far everything looks good with me and I have had a lot of bleeding. It's so tough to try to stay calm though. I am also thinking about getting a doppler so I can hear the baby's heatbeat when I get so scared. Maybe that could be a good thing for you as well? Hang in there! And if your doctor is willing, insist on weekly ultrasounds for the time being...that has helped me too.

Honestly, I NEVER stopped worrying from the day that I found out I was pregnant until the day he was born. Actually, I still worry about him all the time. Welcome to motherhood!! You will always find something too worry about.

@charpfann So you bled heavily and everything was fine? Because last night I started bleeding red and it hasnt stopped. Im going to the hospital again later
Did you bleed since then? What did the doctors tell you?
