Week 6 and counting

[Shannon]

Well this is my first baby I found out 2 weeks ago, I am 6 weeks!!! I am a little nervouse though, I can't get into the doctor until Dec. 21st That seems like such a long time to wait. For the most part I am excited and happy but then I read someones miscarriage story or I see the high rate of first Trimester miscarriages and freak out. I get light cramping almost daily I know for the most part it's normal but its so scary. Especially to have to wait so long for my Doc appt. I wish I could always be positive but I cant help but worry. Especially cause it was somewhat of a surprise so lets just say Halloween was a fun night for me... Anyone else in the same boat?

Hi Shannon,
I think that the only thing you can do is try to keep positive. At the end of the day whether you have a scan sooner or later the outcome will always be the same. The sad fact is that if a miscarriage is going to happen, there is little anyone can do about it. It seems like a really long time away now I know but it will come around eventually. I hope you remember though that if anything really horrible does happen (like mega pains or bleeding) you will be able to go and see someone sooner!

I am having my first scan in a couple of weeks but for my first pregnancy I had to wait aaaaages. In the end it was bad news unfortunately, but I know that they wouldn't have been able to do anything if I had been scanned earlier.

Good luck with everything and just try to enjoy the moment!

Congratulations on your pregnancy shannon. Im sure all will be fine. I know exactly how you feel, i had cramping everyday for first 8 weeks and having already had a miscarriage a few years earlier was petrified but i am now 39 weeks pregnant with no.2 and everything is going just fine. And as bethanylee said, if your gonna miscarry then it'll happen.

So dont cause yourself any unneccesary worry.

Shannon, we are all in the same boat. It is scary being pregnant for the first time. Even though I am now past 12 weeks, I am still worried that something will go wrong and I will lose the baby. But you just have to try to push those thoughts out of your head, it is really hard, but there is no amount of worrying that will or won't make something happen.

Oh and CONGRATS!!!

Congrats on your little one!

Unfortunately, theres not much you can do about a miscarriage... I dont think theres very much way to stop it.

Dont stress Im sure all will be fine! And just remember, everyday baby stays in there for, his chances are rising of being ok!

Really hope everything goes well for you sweetie
