I think a miscarriage has more to do with an irregular pregnancy and that it is not genetic or hereditary. Just try to stay calm, drink lots of water, and make sure you're resting plenty. If you need to distract yourself, maybe talk with some friends or read a book. Waiting for a doctor visit is the hardest part.

Try not to worry Hun-I know easier said than done but it really is out of your control. I've got absolutely no history of mc in my family, yet I had two. I feel like Pregnancy is a lottery & it's all to do with chromosomes etc & the most perfect timing! Youre either lucky or you're not but I certainly wouldn't let your family history cause more worry. if you're worried about the pain in your side, mention it tomorrow so you can get it checked for peace of mind. Good luck x

I had all those symptoms hun, don't worry. Just take it easy and see the doctor monday. They did ask me if history of mc in my family so I'm sure they will ask u and maybe scan u early or something. Congratulations x
