It seems that many of us on here have had m/c.........recent ones too. Mine was in April, I was supposed to be due in Dec., and was 7 weeks.

I'm wondering when my paranoia will end.......every time I go to the bathroom I'm checking and scared that I will see that same scenario again. It's terrible. Yesterday I had some light light spotting and I figured that was it, but it hasn't returned and never turned into AF. so I'm assuming it's implantation bleeding and will test again tomorrow morning (3 days after missing period).

I just want to know if any of you are experiencing some of the similar fears and what are you doing about it. I know when I pass that 7 week mark with this little one I'm going to just sigh a big sigh of relief!!!

I'm a worrier by nature. But, since this will be my last baby, I'm trying very hard to relax, trust my body, and enjoy this pregnancy. It's not been easy. I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't check the toilet paper at every bathroom trip.

I worry about my 2 year old all the time, so maybe for moms, the worrying never ends...or I'm just crazy!

I had a miscarriage in May. I too was due in December, and was 6 1/2 weeks. The paranoia is still there for me. In fact, I haven't even really gotten excited about this pregnancy yet. I haven't shared the news with anyone. I don't have many symptoms yet. I think I will feel better once I pass the 7 week mark, or we hear the heartbeat, I'll feel a little better, but honestly I don't think that feeling will ever go away until my baby is here. Then, I'll have more things to worry about! lol

When I conceived dd it was after 2 early mcs in a row and I checked every time and tested every day until 7 or 8 wks, then tested every few days until 10 wks or so and didn't really started to relax until the 2nd trimester. Then I was nervous something awful would happen before the big u/s and I'd get there and she wouldn't be moving around, so after that was good then I relaxed again and that's when I really relaxed, for the most part .

I guess I am in the same boat too. I had a m/c last year. I got pregnant in March and was due this past December. I started to m/c on mother's day last year and had complications. I wasn't done m/c'ing until September! They had to go in and do a D&E. It was awful!

I am just trusting that if this baby was meant to be that all will be well, but I sure will breathe a sigh of relief after 12 weeks that's for sure.

This is my 8th pgcy and it's actually the first time I'm NOT checking the tp every time. I have never felt confident until I hear a hb at 12 weeks.

As a pp poster said, we have more things to be paranoid about as they grow. I don't think it'll stop until we're dead, LOL!

I had a missed m/c at seven weeks before conceiving my younger dd. I definitely worried more during the first trimester, and I had an u/s around seven weeks with Julia which put my mind somewhat at ease -I had an u/s at seven weeks after some spotting with my m/c and there was no heartbeat, so seeing the heartbeat was a huge relief. I think it's very normal to worry, especially after having gone through a m/c.

I feel the same way as you do.. everytime i use the bathroom im looking for some type of spotting and i always worry.. I had a m/c in April too.. so i know the feeling..

I totally understand how you feel. I am the "queen" of worry. I'm trying to let it go, but it's hard. I do think you'll feel better after you see the heartbeat on an ultrasound. It's not fun, but you have to just do your best to sometimes take each day (or moment) one at a time.
