Hi Ladies,
I found out I was pregnant last Monday and for the past week I've just been worried. I know that the next 8 weeks I'll have a higher change of a miscarriage and I am just so worried. Four of my friends had miscarraiges in the past two months and I think it is just weighing on my mind. My DH and I TTC for 14 months and finally got a BFP and now I feel like I'm not even enjoying it. I had a nightmare last night that I was bleeding...I was sobbing in my dream and woke up so upset. FUN FUN! I don't think about it 24/7, but it is definitely on my mind. Does anyone else feel worried????

hi jenn. it's normal to worry, unfortunately this is something you have no control over. we found out we were pregnant in october and turned around and miscarried in november. everyone that i spoke to reassured me that it's more common than you think and unfortunately there's nothing you can do. just try to stay positive. i got a positive sign yesterday so everything seems to work out in the end...keep positive, that's all you can do!

You're doing yourself no good at all by worrying. I can see why you are, but you have to think positively and just continue taking care of yourself.
Don't let the thought of miscarriage even be an option for you. It's not something that's supposed to happen and if you continue to be as healthy as you can right now and think about the good stuff, you'll enjoy yourself more and be in better shape!

Thanks ladies....don't get me wrong, I'm not obsessing over it, but I think it just hit me hard seeing 4 of my friends go through it right in a row. It messes with my head...and my husbands. We are soooooo happy, but are just being cautious until my u/s. I hear after that hear/see a heartbeat your chances of m/c drops significantly. Joleen, I am so happy you got a BFP! I am sure the past few months have been tough for you. I wish you all the health and happiness with your pregnancy. :) Alirenee....are you pregnant?
