I am 9 weeks pregnant with my first baby, for weeks I have been worried about having a miscarriage or having a blight ovum. I have had NO spotting at all or anything to make me think I will miscarry. I have all my pregnancy symptoms, I am just afraid I will just start bleeding and lose the baby. I also have my first ob/gyn appointment this week, and I will be having my first ultrasound. I am so afraid that I will not see a baby or a heartbeat on the ultrasound!!
This is my first pregnancy, and my husband and I want this baby so bad. At 9 weeks should I stop worrying as much as I am?

Hun. Your normal! Your being a mother. The worrys dont stop (not to scare you). As you get further along you will worry less about loosing the baby and more about other things.
Maybe try taking up a new hobby!

My advice is if you are a worrier, do not read too in depth into a pregnancy book. I have read 3 books and they all talk about complications and potential problems. I just took one day at a time and let nature take its course. The way I see it...If I were to lose my baby then I would be upset but, it was what was going to happen. I have done everything I am supposed to do and taken my vitamins daily and I eat good meals. I am not going to pretend like I am disabled though. I know my baby is safe in my belly so I don't see any reason to worry. After 12 or 13 weeks you will stop worrying so much. I found out I was pregnant the day I was late and I let everyone know. I didn't even think that something could happen in the next 8 weeks. Thankfully he is still cooking at 33 weeks and doing really well. Dont worry so much and if anything does happen then it will be something that you will deal with over time but don't deal with it right now. This is a time to be happy and healthy. Stressing will just make you feel crappy! Good luck

I am scared also. I am only at 6 weeks but I had vaginal bleeding and had to go to the ER at 4 weeks. I am hoping for the best. Doctors have told me and I have read that when a miscarriage happens it is really a blessing. There is very little that the mother can do to cause herself to miscarriage and it if is going to happen it will. That is a reason to not worry because it is not something you can control beyond not doing strenulous activities and taking drugs or alcohol. Mother Nature is very smart and will spontaneously abort a pregnancy that has problems, like abnormalities, that can't survive. So I am trying to let this comfort me and hope and pray for the best for my baby. Congrats on your pregnancy. I hope everything goes well and please say a prayer for mine. Thank you and good luck.

Stay calm first of all please. You are worried so much because 1. it's your first baby 2. Because you and your husband want this to work as badly as you do. I've been thru miscarriage and stress is a key factor to some of them along with different meds etc. All I can advise to you hun is to please stop worrying and just start thinking positive, GOD will be there I believe that and if his plans continue your life with this precious baby you will have a fine pregnancy. But you have to stop stressing and worrying, you need to just eat healthy and sleep enough etc and no stress. That is something that will increase your chances of having a healthy pregnancy.

I have read many things that say at about 8weeks the early pregnancy symptoms start to wear off for some people. Like the sickness and that. Im sure your find. Its not all about sickness some ladies get no morning sickness at all. Everything will be fine. Every women worries a bit. Just try not to worry and enjoy your pregnancy.

Even after you go to your appointment, you'll still worry. Requardless if the baby is born or not, you'll worry. It's part of motherhood, it comes with the territory. Just try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Misscarriages only happen 10% of the time, most likely you'll be just fine. When you reach the 13th. week, your odds of miscarrying drops to 1%. Just remember that you will worry because it's natural. Just try to enjoy your pregnancy and preparing for the baby. Good luck!

Don't worry so much about the baby. You will be fine and I hope that you and your husband enjoy your pregnancy and baby. The doctor will just do a pelvic exam to make sure that your cervix is completely closed and that you don't have an incomplete cervix and he will do an ultrasound to make sure that everything is okay. They will probably do blood work among other things, but as long as you do what your doctor tells you to you and the baby should be fine.

My wife is in her 7th week, relax, the stress isn't good. Enjoy the pregnancy. If there isn't anything you have done to directlyl think you could have something wrong, well then stop worrying and enjoy every minute of you pregnancy. Congratulations by the way!! You have to think positive and be happy because that's what you pass on to your baby.

The risk of miscarriage drops drastically at about 14 weeks, but YES stop worrying so much. You aren't helping yourself by doing that and you could be causing the baby undue stress. It is very normal to worry and wonder and be scared, trust me, we've all done it. I am on my 2nd pregnancy and did it with this one too. The fact is, if it is going to happen, worrying won't change it. Just be happy, eat good, get plenty of sleep and don't go moving furniture around....you're going to be fine!!! :)
