Q: Miscarriage Worries

I know I'm probably obsessing over this...but I can't help but think I'm going to miscarry. I have a 9 yr old daughter, then we miscarried in January of 2011. We got pregnant with our son & he was born in November 2012. We wanted to try for number 3, and I got a positive December 17th- with an EDD of August 30, 2014.
I do not feel connected with the pregnancy at all though. All I keep thinking about is that I'm going to miscarry-I can't help it. I keep taking pregnancy tests (and the lines have gotten darker and darker) and even bought the Clearblue ones with the weeks indicator.
Just when I think I might be outa the water, I read about blighted ovum, or a missed miscarriage at 9-10 weeks or something crazy like that.
Has anyone else gone through this? I don't know if it's just where it's the same time of year that I miscarried back in 2011 (our due date then would've been September 9, 2011, so only a few days off from my due date now),or what but I feel like I'm going cra

Hi Kaylia, it is difficult to not worrying about miscarrying again. I had a miscarriage in August and all throughout the beginning of my current pregnancy I had fear that something would go wrong. It is natural to worry, but don't let it consume your thoughts. Just remember that you are more likely to have a healthy pregnancy then you are a miscarriage and try to focus on the positive. I know that is easier said than done, but only the man upstairs is in control of what happens. Just try to be as healthy and positive as you can. Don't read anymore horror stories- trust me, it is no good. Best of luck to you! I hope this pregnancy goes as perfect as you want it to!

I am in the same boat as you. I am Due Sept 1st 2014 and had a missed miscarriage in Sept 2013. Found out August 20th that my baby had no heartbeat, was supposed to be 10 weeks but only measured 6w 5d.

Now I find it hard to be excited because I don't want to get my hopes up, and I read things that scare me and make me nervous. I have an ultrasound tomorrow and I can say that I am a nervous wreck! it's likely too soon to see a heartbeat or even a fetal pole and that will drive me even more crazy. I just want some reassurance and a heartbeat!!

I know how you are feeling and I'm sorry you have to go through this thought process. The worst of it is you don't get to see the doctor for a while. First off I'm going to suggest not to read up on all of the possibilities out there because it's only going to elevate your anxiety. It's okay not to feel connected yet, although with how you are worrying, I'd say you are somewhat :) which is good but hard. Try to do some things that will help relax you if you can because anxieties like this won't help the situation, trust me, I'm the queen of it! I personally haven't have a blighted ovum but have heard girls on these sites talk about having them. I've had miscarriages at like 8 & 9 weeks but not sure what a missed miscarriage is. I always spotted and had to wait for the baby to pass away, essentially, and then I'd opt for a D& C because it was too painful for me to wait. All I can say is worrying won't change what may be. Hope this helps you a little. Good luck (hugs)
