I'm 5weeks 3days today, I'm so nervous and stressed out about miscarriage and/or other possible issues that could ultimately mean a loss of the baby. I have severe anxiety, insomnia, and I'm schizo effective. I found out yesterday my medication (vistaril) is a cat C and I stopped taking it immediately. I hardly slept last night thinking I've done damage to my baby already and miscarriage is imminent... i keep getting worried with every little twinge or cramp and i feel like I've already accepted that it's over. I'm trying to be positive until i speak with my doctor. I've not even had my first appointment but I've known that I'm pregnant for two weeks now and been taking this medication the whole time :cry: Idk if it's just hormones that have me so wound up about it or what... i feel horrible.
I also walked 2 miles to dollar General to get some hpt's to maybe help ease my mind and they were out! :(
 
I believe strongly that stress caused my last miscarriage- It was a MMC but the date baby died corresponded to a devastating basement flood.
I was also on psych meds until I got pregnant, trying my best to keep my stress as low as possible and it's working for me. I have counselling upcoming which I hope will help even more.
 
I'm 5 weeks too and i'm the same with you about worrying over everything and worried that i'm going to lose the baby, my oh and family keep telling me not to worry but it's hard as i really want this baby, but I do try and see it, is take one day at a time as that's all we can do and trying to stay positive as stressing and worrying are not going to help us and fx everything will turn out just fine

sorry i'm not much help, happy and healthy 9 months :)
 
I think most of us go through this, ive had 2 scans and still scared to death. I have another scan a week on Tuesday, if twins are identical ill be scanned every 2 weeks from then on which I really need.

I never worried like this with other pregnancies but since my loss its been so much harder to enjoy. :hugs:
 
I've never had a miscarriage so Idk why I'm so worried. I've had 3 pregnancies before this and i have 3 beautiful children and really no real big complications with any of them. I'm constantly freaking out this time around. With my others I didn't worry at all. I know some of the problem is that I'm reading all the bad things that can happen and I'm a lot older now. My last baby i was 24 I'm now 32 and i've read that the older you get, the risks of problems goes up and i just can't get that out of my head...
 
I understand. I'm 36 and have had no successful pregnancies. Plus I've got only one ovary, open abdominal surgery 3 months ago, an unmedicated anxiety disorder,2 bleeding SCHs, and twin babies.

Doc told me flat out this is high risk and I'll be seeing a specialist OB/GYN from day 1. If I don't work hard every minute of every day to keep calm and get my rest and nutrition, I *will* lose my babies. I just have to keep it together.
 
My sister's both had babies in their mid 30's and all were healthy. I think it's natural to worry. As far as medications go though, a lot of it is categorized on theories about what's in the drugs as there's no ethical way to do studies on pregnant women, a lot of medications are unknown. I was prescribed a class c medication during this pregnancy and she's still kicking away and happy in there. You will worry, I still worry, but it's worse for peanut if you really stress yourself out about it. 32 isn't old, so don't even worry about that, please. I was freaked out early on, went in at 6+5 and saw a little bean and heard a heartbeat, something I've never been able to experience before that, and it was amazing. After that I just convinced mysf everything will be ok and started getting excited for peanut.
 
I am a very anxious/prone to stress kind of girl as it is so I am trying to work through it but I know exactly what you mean!

I feel like I am made of glass, incredibly fragile and could break at any moment! and every time I pee I find myself scared of seeing blood! I am just so hopeful it will all work out that I am scaring myself!

Just give yourself positive mantra's to say! deep breaths and saying things like "you and your baby are absolutely fine, happy and healthy" or "everything is ok"
