fear of miscarriage

[HelenJ]

hello fellow ladies.

Is there anyone here who is also very very scared of losing their baby? I am pregnant iwth number 3 and never had a miscariage before. with my first I never even thought about it and with the second I had a bit of it between 8 and 12 weeks. Now I am not even five weeks and I am so scared somethng will happen.

I know there is only a 10-15% chance but still I cannot stop thking it culd go wrong. I hear it so many times (also from friends) that they miscaary at least once and ths makes me worry a lot.

How do other people coe with this? I must be such a mean person for thinking abr ths since I never even experienced this, I hope I do not offend anyone with this post.

tbh i think when you come onto forums and u see a lot of ppl mcing and bleeding it does make the worry a whole lot worse but its also a gd place to come for support,i have been worried sick since i got my bfp even after i had an early scan due to previous mc last yr,try not to worry so much and try and chill if u can xxx

This is my 1st pregnancy and although it wasnt my first concern when i had bleeding i really thought i was gonna, tri 1 is such a scary time x

I've lost two and while it's sad at the time you soon cope with it. There is no point worrying yourself to death as u will just make yourself ill

I was fine with my first and I'm fine this time round but with my son I was on alert until he was handed over

I agree with jojo on this one. Hope you feel ok soon x

This is my terror too! I am 5 weeks yesterday and so scared of something going wrong. I spent my last pregnancy terrified! It didn't help that I had early bleeding last time. I really am scared!

All I can say ladies is that it is pointless to worry about something that could happen.

Why would you out yourself through the undue stress???

I had 3 miscarriages last year (at 8 weeks, 5 weeks and 6 weeks) yet even I managet to remain calm this time round. I also remained pretty positive as well, I don't know how I did it LOL!!

I think if you are really worried then a private early scan will go some way to putting your mind at risk but as I say it really is fruitless to worry about this... It's kind of out of our hands anyway??
