a bit scared!

I think I just may need some words of encouragement bet here's my deal. We are 6 weeks pregnant and are soooo excited! My problem is that I am so terrified of miscarrying, since I am so early in my pregnancy. I know everyone probably feels a bit uneasy in the beginning but goodness, Im scared to do anything! Im scared to lift things, scared to clean the house, everything!! Has anyone else had this much of a fear? How did you get over it? Ugh, I wish I was further along already!

I was like that my whole pregnancy!!!!!! if it's going to happen i guess it's going to happen, nothing you can do about it..

shit, didnt we all wish we were farther along. haha i still do.
good luck. yea but just try to relax.but remember that everything happens for a reason.

I was scared of that, still am to some point... But we were in the process of moving from Cali to NC when I found out. I had no choice but to lift, clean, etc... It did make me feel better to realize that I have a lot of friends who worked as Nurse Aide's throughout their entire pregnancies until the day the delivered... They were doing strenuous work and heavy lifting and their babies were just fine.

I was scared to death of miscarrying. I would check my panties every 10mins to make sure i wasnt miscarrying.

And im 20weeks and i still check my panties.
And if i dont feel her move alot. I freak out.

I was the same way, especially after already having a miscarriage. I finally realized, all I could do was take it easy, and not do anything stupid, and my body would take care of the rest. Sometimes things do happen though, that are out of our control. We just have to do our part. I am 30 weeks, and still scared, because anything can happen. But it does slowly get better.

I was like that a lot in the beginning I found out when I was 5-6 weeks. And I had bleeding and cramping problems, so I was REALLY scared, and didn't want to do anything. But I am now 24 weeks and healthy! Good luck! And just relax!

I did that, too. I CONSTANTLY felt like I was leaking something. I had to always check. It is not a fun time.

Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone, this is a common fear, in every situation it's natural to fear the worst outcome, and losing the baby would certainly be that, just try and relax, focus on the joy.

stressing can cause a miscarriage, darling. Just take it easy. I'm still freakin' out about it, too. And I just got past the point where they say the chances of miscarriages are slim.. It's just your hormones flippin' out. Wait 'til you hear the heartbeat.

I have the same problem! My discharge feels like I'm bleeding and I check all the time!!

We were able to see the little heartbeat, and I told the Doc about being uneasy when I feel a little wetness down there and she said the heartbeat looks nice and stron so I shouldn't worry too much. I guess it's just the worrier in me that wont let me rest asured that it will be ok. My biggest problem right now I think is that I am a teacher and have to start moving into my new classroom tomorrow!! Im just going to try and take it easy and have someone help me.

i was the same way when i first found out...i was so terrified of a miscarriage that i wouldnt even let myself get excited =[ im almost 15 weeks now and every time i feel a pain or something weird i freak out...i kept telling myself "oh i cant wait to be out of my first trimester" but as soon as i was i felt the same lol

I am the opposite, I got used to feeling nauseated, and crampy and the past few days it hasn't been so bad that i'm like uh oh, I hope everythings ok since I feel absolutely fine! Haha my heads a little crazy sometimes I guess!

Just know that it is pretty much out of your control - it is in Gods' hands. If your are supposed to misscarry that early in pregnancy there is nothing you can do to prevent it. If it is supposed to work there is almost nothing you can do to hurt it (as long as you don't take unusual risks). I don't know if you are religous, but you need to let go and put it in Gods' hands. As soon as I found out that I was pregnant I lived the most healthy life one can imagine. No cigarettes, no alcohol, no medicine whats or ever lots of veggies and moderate work outs.....
When I lost my baby at 7 weeks at least it gave me comfort to know that I didn't need to blame myself for anything. I did everthing that was within my power but it was just not supposed to be.
