Worry and anxiety driving me insane! Anyone else?

[Emmielou28]

After 4 miscarriages (3 since last december and 1 MMC before I had my daughter) I am now 4w5d pregnant. Didn't get past 5w in last two pregnancies. After tests revealed nothing, doc prescribed me 400mg progesterone and I am taking 75mg aspirin once a day.

Basically, I am just driving myself insane with worry. I can't imagine things being ok. I feel constantly stressed and worried and dreading going to the loo in case I see blood. Is anyone else feeling as anxious as this? I literally think about nothing else. Will have my first scan at 6w as specialist wants to scan me regularly. So nervous about it. I don't think I can handle another loss!

You have every right to worry, I have gone through the same.. And have worried since day one this pregnancy about what could happen again.. I've made it 8 weeks now so I'm 4 weeks further then last time!!
Keep your chin up, try not to stress (I know ya right easier said then done) rest, maybe take up a new hobby to try and keep your mind on something else ( I just took up crocheting) and have learned how to make all kinds of winter hats and slippers and so on, and all my friends have their orders in for them, their kids, family etc.. So that keeps me pretty busy to keep the time going by quicker also... Spend time with friends and family and support systems even if you're just having a smoothie or movie night laughing your butts off, distract distract distract!- its really my only salvation right now, and stress off of you= stress off of baby

Hi. Sorry for your losses and congrats reaching 8 weeks. Have you done anything different this time I.e. took any aspirin/ progesterone etc.

I had two miscarriges. One at nearly 8 weeks which wasn't a huge shock because I had spotting on and off since 4 weeks. But after that I had a mmc that the 6 week ultrasound was great and I had every symptom in the book and at the 9 week check up found out it was a mmc and didn't progress past 6 weeks. After that I was devistated. I thought this time once I made it past 6 weeks I'd feel fine but even now at 10 weeks and 4 good ultrasounds I am scared to death something is going to go wrong. I keep telling myself once I have my 12 week scan i'll be fine but I am sure I won't and I'll still be worried in the back of my mind. (By the way since you asked the other person, i am on progesterone this time, I did recurrent m/c testing and nothing came up so my OB put me on progesterone because "it can't hurt".)

I feel ya!!! why the asprin?? i thought that was bad during pregnancy. must be for some special reason tho huh? I had a MC about 5 years ago so im really worried as i never fell preg between that time n this is my first tme getting a bfp since then. I remember bleeding since i found out the first time. But this time around theres no blood, but maybe tannnish brownish cm. so still worried that when i go to doc that i wont see anything or that its not growing or that it passed away like the first time it stopped growing at certian week and there was nothing i could have done. docs with me also said there was no reason, so hopefully this is our time to have a healthy growing baby!!! i try not to worry n stress but its difficult when i dont wanna gooo this whole time thinking everything okay n be let down in the end. sucks. i hav eall the syptoms but noticed last night my breasts dont hurt as much now and today as well. heard it can come n go though. :/ I hope everything works out for you! thats good they put u on the progesterone though i heard that works to help it stick!!! so nervwrecking the wait huh?? i have my appointment to see baby in few weeks so cant wait, gonna have anxiety the day of before i see im sure, i dont want my man to come in case its bad id rather do it alone the first time to make sure everythings good. let me know. whens ur appointment ??

Hang in there, mama! Wish I had words of advice to make it easier, but I have yet to figure out what those are myself!

Hi congrats on your pregnancy. I'm sure you'll be fine this time. I have my first ultrasound on Monday. I will be 7 weeks. Nervous as hell. Have been feeling really sick for about 4 days but haven't been sick. The only problem is that when I don't feel sick I start panicking. Keeping everything crossed for us all this time.

Regarding aspirin, my specialist said it can't hurt and I've read lots of success stories from women who have taken it. X
