having severe anxiety in early pregnancy

I'm about 5 1/2 weeks and so far so good but all of a sudden I started getting hot flashes and I got so scared that another miscarriage will happen. I've already gone through two and it was hell. I feel fine, my #s are great so I dont know where this came from. I hate being so afraid, I just want to enjoy this.

Re: having severe anxiety in early pregnancy

I think it's totally normal to feel anxiety during pregnancy after experiencing a m/c. Unfortunately, we all have the experience of knowing first-hand what can happen. Just try to take things one day at a time, focus on all of the positives, and try to do some deep breathing when feeling really panicky. Congrats on your pregnancy!

It is scary. I was a wreck the first few months till my Nt Scan. Every day I was just stressed & anxious, moody, & avoiding everyone.

It does get better! You just have to get yourself through the next few appts and then you will start to feel a lot more calm.

Just try not to let your anxiety take over and start thinking about the fun and happy times you have ahead.

Every appt you will start to feel a little better. Even once you see the HB that will calm your nerves. You are in the beginning stages of just "wait and see what happens", but once you see the HB and know things are looking positive you will Feel better. The first few weeks are the scariest, but just get through a few more weeks and I promise IT GETS BETTER!!!

this morning i feel better, I guess it's mostly bc I dont really have any symptoms and it worries me.

Tomorrow is my first sono...hoping we see a bean in there, still too early to see a HB but I'll take what I can get right now.

Re: having severe anxiety in early pregnancy

I totally know where you are coming from. If it makes you feel any better I had no real symptoms either through out my first trimester...

I was a nervous wreck for the first 3 months. But I tried to make bad thoughts go away.

If you actually look the chance of miscarriage drops significantly once you hear a heartbeat...then even more once you pass 10 weeks. So try to make little milestones for yourself.

Keep in mind that MOST of the time everything goes as planned. hang in there although it's hard. If you ever want to chat about it let me know!
