we're expecting again.

i wanted this baby.
im so happy and excited. i wanted 4 children and now i have them.
but im terrified because of the loss of my last daughters twin. i went to the doctor on thursday and they said that my numbers are low... im terrified that im going to loose this baby. god please, not again.
every couple of minutes i find myself wondering if everything is okay, and i'm only 7 weeks! im going to drive myself crazy!
any ideas on calming techniques?

I worried about another loss up until I was 30 weeks cause then I knew if the baby was born he'd likely survive without major complications. So I don't have any suggestions other than try to understand that whatever happens, happens. You can't control it. Think positive and stay busy.

i had a miscarriage 2 months before i got pregnant. honestly i was the same as you, constantly thinking things were going to end bad. i still have worries at 24 weeks. what i did was i told myself as much as i could that i was going to think positive. i also told myself that whatever happened would not be able to be changed, no doctors can help that early. but as i made it past each day and then saw the babies heart beat at 9 weeks on ultrasound i started to relax a little.

thanks guys. i went for bloodwork today to check my HcG and progesterone. i think once i hear the heartbeat, or at least see it. ill be able to relax a bit.  

Same thing happened to me (with the hcg low levels) plus I had an u/s at 5w and 4d or so and they still couldn't see anything. I was so upset. My boss sent me home for about a week because I wasnt working. I was literally sitting there eating and crying at my desk lol at 7-8 weeks my levels had gone up and the baby was in the correct place! If I could go back and change one thing, it would be how I handled it. I'm lucky I didn't miscarry just from how upset I was and how much I cried and stressed. But in the moment...what else can you do but worry?! I know how you feel. Btw I'm almost 21 weeks now! ;) your gonna do great!

i got the call last night that my numbers have tripled and everything looks great!
we're elated. i guess i just need to learn to let my body do what it needs to. i need to trust myself.

here's hoping everything is great from here on in =]
