Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

I will be 7 weeks tomorrow and i'm having a very hard time with the anxiety of having another m/c.

Anyone with me?

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

I just m/c on Monday but I'm scared to death already for my next pregnancy. I think after a m/c we can't help it...
But sending you lots stick dust for you

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

I'm not yet, but I know exactly how you feel. It's the 2WW for us, I normally would be excited but I'm actually kind of uptight about it. I just don't think I could go through it again.

I know exactly how you feel. I had 2 mc back to back, and the second time, I'd get so stressed out before a sono (b/c that's when I got the bad news the 1st time).

I'm sure that everything will work out for you, it's just so hard to relax.

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

I feel ya! Just found out I am pregnant again the other day. I am trying to stay positive, and refusing to let myself even think the "m-word". Everytime it pops into my head, I force myself to push it out and replace it with something else.

I am trying to meditate a bit each day, because I read about a study where women who had recurrent MCs benefited from meditation to help with anxiety and stress levels.

First Congrats! As hard as it is to relax and enjoy this time around stay positive! Fingers and toes will be crossed for you!! I just had a mc and a d&c on the 5th, i go back to the doc on wednesday so hoping to get the okay!! {{{{ STICKY VIBES}}}}

I'm here.

Hoping to get checked by the doctor on monday.

With my second pregnancy, I had nightmares of having a m/c and was constantly nervous everytime I peed. unfortunately that ended in m/c as well.

I'm really, really trying to keep the negative miscarriage vibes out of my head.
So far, so good..but it's only been 1 day

I know making it to the 12weeks will feel like an eternity.

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

congrats! - sunday will be 23 weeks for me... last year i had a natural m/c in February, then a missed m/c with d&c in June.... it took me from June 07-June08 before I tried again..... i was sooo paranoid this one that i didnt let dh come with me to the first sono at 7 weeks...and I too was constantly checking when i went to the ladies room in the begining.

It gets better I started feeling better after my second good appt at 10weeks and wasnt holding my breath so much at the 14 week appt... The only thing i could say is maybe try to avoid reading the bad news posts from people until after you've cleared the first trimester to keep your mind off it...

I had a M/C Nov 2007 and got PG May 2008.... I am currently 36 weeks PG...

I was a real wreck until about 20 weeks and around 30 weeks PG I totally relaxed!

It's hard, M/C takes away some of the "innocence of PG" also, I had a rough PG at the begining so that didn't help!

Just try to stay POSITIVE!!

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

Yes! I am now 29 weeks pregnant after miscarrying last February in the 5th week. I feel like I held my breath for the entire first trimester. I didn't have my first appointment until I was 10 weeks & I managed to convince myself that I would never make it that far. When it came time for the appointment, I was convinced I'd be told I had a missed miscarriage. I cannot even describe the relief when at only 10 weeks my midwife was able to detect the heartbeat on the doppler. I think I finally started breathing again after my first sono at 11 weeks showed a healthy, wiggling baby.

I wish I had some advice for how to remain calm, but I know nothing really takes away that worry. Just try to remind yourself that with each passing week, your odds of a healthy pregnancy increase. Try to enjoy it because it goes by so fast!

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

I will be in my 2ww in a couple of days. I am having my transfer for my IVF on Tuesday. I am a nervous wreck even thinking about it...

For me, experiencing 2 miscarriages has ruined that happy I'm pregnant feeling. I feel overwhelmed with fear. I think that is what makes me the most angry about my losses. It not only took away 2 babies, but the joys of the beginnings of pregnancy.

I wish you all the best...try to stay positive!!

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

hello -

It is hard we don't have that blissful ignornace anymore...i see the dr weekly and that helps alleiviate by seeing the baby so much...hoping for the best for allof us!

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

Oddly enough, after feeling anxious about something going wrong all day on Friday- I ended up gushing blood friday night and was in the hospital. (see posts on pg or IF boards)

Luckily, everything is okay so far, but i'm so nervous about tomorrow's OB appt.

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

i'm 15 weeks.....its scary to know that i had a mc when i was 21 wks...so i'm just taking it day by day....

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

im 16 weeks, and i m/c at 20 weeks, so i dont think i will ever relax. I just take it day by day. And i pray alot.

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

I'm 14 weeks now and I had a m/c over the summer.

It's been a couple of weeks now since my last sono and the panic feelings are coming back. I feel like that's the cycle I've been on. Great for about a week and a half after each sono and then crazy worrying / irritability until the next one. Maybe if I were showing more or could feel something it would be easier.

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

I had a M/C in Dec. and just found out I'm expecting again. I'm happy but I feel the same way. I feel like it's a big waiting game and I don"t even know how far along I am yet. It's very stressfull. If you need to talk I'm here, but for now just be happy and think happy. Sending you lots of sticky dust

Re: Is anyone on here currently pregnant?

Yes, and even though I'm only 10 days away from delivery, I'm still so anxious. I had two prior losses before this pregnancy, and lost a twin with this pregnancy, so that fear is ALWAYS with me. It's been very difficult to relax about the pregnancy this whole time.
