scared..

I am so happy to have gotten my BFP but today I am finding myself completely freaking out. I am so scared of another loss...I don't think I will be able to survive going through that again. Before today i was feeling so optimistic, had a great feeling about this pregnancy, but then my DH told me he was really scared and it just got me feeling anxious..

Re: scared..

id be surprised if you werent scared...

when is your first dr appointment?

Re: scared..

Aww, Im so sorry that you are feeling this way. It is expected to be scared after already experiencing a loss. Remember, that ever pregnancy is different. Try to stay optimistic

Re: scared..

do you know the source of the loss the first time?
for me, i had two early losses before this one stuck. however my RE determined the most likely causes for the losses and we treated them. that didn't make the first 12 weeks of this pregnancy any easier, but at least i knew we were doing all we could to make this one stick.

its def nerve wracking after you've had a loss, and im not going to say the nervousness ever goes away - it just changes. but just remember it will all be worth it in the end!!
good luck!

Re: scared..

What you are feeling is completely normal. Before this pregnancy, I also had 2 losses early on (6w and 9w) -- My dr. sent me for testing but there was no cause. The one thing they did tell me was to make an appt. ASAP once I got a BFP again so that they could monitor me right away. I was terrified of going through the same thing again but once we saw the heartbeat (had never seen this with the previous 2) I felt better, every time I waited for an appt. to come I would go from optimistic to a nervous wreck but once I would go to the dr and everything was ok I felt better. It will be a rollercoaster, I won't lie but once you reach a certain point you will breathe again.

I wish you all the best and a healthy 9 months.

Re: scared..

i have been really scared since getting my bfp and I haven't had a previous loss so I can only imagine how scary it is for you since you have. I would make the dr. appt so they can start monitoring you.

Re: scared..

Its natural to go from being super happy to super scared Don't worry.. everything will be ok and work out I got my BFP the day before you, and I can't tell you how many times I have freaked out in the past week. I'm going to for my bloodwork at the end of the week.. and every possible scenario is going through my head. for you

Re: scared..

I think I am going to feel the same way when I get a bfp again too. We started trying and I'm okay now and feel optimistic but I know once I get pregnant I'll probably freak.

I made it to 9 weeks, previously saw a heartbeat at 6. Had testing done and no "reason" for the cause that I can be treated for next time. So it's really a crapshoot.

Hang in there. I'll pray for you

Re: scared..

I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way..Try to breathe and relax. It's gonna be okay! Call the doctor. Maybe go back to see him/her. They probably can calm all your fears!!!!

Re: scared..

Also, I wanted to say this to you because its been said to me many times since my loss. You will worry about every pregnancy so try not to go overboard with the worrying just because you had a miscarriage. There is a chance for a good and bad pregnancy everytime with every woman. It is normal to have worries and fears but don't let them consume you. I know that is what I'll be telling myself. I shouldn't worry any more than I did the first time around.

Lots of good luck for this one

Re: scared..

I don't really have any advice to offer you, but it sounds totally normal to be scared

Re: scared..

Thank you all for your kind words and warm wishes. It really means alot to me.
I called the doc today and hes gonna see me next week on the 15th, Ill only be 5w2days so Im sure he wont really be able to see anything but hopefully the appt will help ease my anxiety a lil

Re: scared..

dont lose your hope or your faith and just keep knowing in your heart all is going tobe ok

Re: scared..

It's only natural to be scared. Sending you lots of sticky dust!
