After 2 years, my husband and I finally got pregnant. We have been through infertility treatment and were to start our first IVF in March. I found out I was pregnant a little over a week ago. At a little over 6 weeks, they did an ultrasound because I had significant cramping on one side. Thank GOD, it was an ovarian cyst and the baby was in the uterus. We were able to see the heart beat @ 180 bpm!
The problem is, I am terrified something will go wrong. Is this normal?? We go back tomorrow for another ultrasound to check on the cyst and I keep having dreams there is no heartbeat. Is this normal or is my body trying to tell me something is going to happen? He is so happy and I am so, SO scared. Did anyone have these thoughts and go on to have a healthy baby?

I had the exact same thoughts. I was actually pregnant 9 times and have three children, so you can do the math. Each one I lost it got harder and harder. It is normal to have those thoughts, I believe everyone has them at some point. You are letting your mind play games on you. No matter what anyone says to you, you will not feel better until you get that other ultra-sound. Take each day as it comes, try to relax(extremely important)!! I think that you were planning on having IVF in March but got pregnant on your own is a sign, that little guy in there wants to be here....so good luck, I will be thinking of you and your husband. Cheers

This is never an easy thing to deal with! You need to be straight up and honest with him cause you will both need each other to lean on. The sooner you talk to him the better and yes i agree ask him to come to the doctors with you. I sympathise with you, no mater what stage a miscarriage happens what you are experiencing now is grief and it hurts like nothing else. But be kind to yourself nothing you could have done would have stopped it from happening, for some unknown reason it is just one of those things that just happen. Take it one day at a time and see each other through it. You are both dealing with a big loss and even though it will get easier with time it never totally goes away. I genuinely hope and pray that some time in the near future you Get another chance a becoming a mum.

Not the same thoughts, but I did have nightmares about my daughter before she was born. It took me 3 years to conceive and I think the anxiety of finally getting pregnant made me have these nightmares of something being wrong with the baby. I did lose her twin after a fall down the stairs, but these came after I found I still was carrying one. Ovarian cysts are quite common, so I would try not to worry so much. I am sure the baby will be born nice and healthy, and you can have the cyst taken care of afterwards.

I always thought something was gonna go wrong, it took me and my hubby 4 years to get pregnant. It's normal but don't let those thoughts consume you, your going to have a HEALTHY BABY! when I found out I was pregnant I thought when I went to get the ultrasound there wouldn't be a baby in there. Just keep getting the medical care your getting now, and talk with your husband, share your thoughts and fears with him, I am sure he has some as well. Keep The Faith! And CONGRATES!

Every time I was pregnant I would have very vivid dreams of waking up in a pool of blood. Lots of my friends had vivid dreams also about miscarrying, it seems to be very common for some reason, probably hormones. I'm sure things Will be fine but it is a very worrying time. Best of luck and congrats

hi hunni,
these are very normal feelings that you are having. with my second child, i had cramping and bleeding at 7 weeks and i thought the worst. everything turned out fine and she has just started school! every twinge i had, i thought that it was the start of a miscarrige. i also had the worst dreams aswell. 180bpm is excellent so you have nothing to worry about. i hope this helps. congratulations. ps: welcome to motherhood!!!!!!!! tammy xxx

the bad thoughts dont stop, you can hirer dobblers from some places, that might soothe some of the thoughts to hear your babies heart beat regulary.
