Answer 1

Sonja, that's sweet. You're going to be fine. EVERY woman (especially first timers) have a fear of miscarrying. Miscarriages do happen and you should prepare yourself mentally for that. Remember that they usually only happen in the first 10 weeks with most of those happening in the first 8 weeks...so you're getting past that!

Try to stay away from toxins, don't get x-rayed, do not eat fish (mercury) and no vaccinations. Eat healthy, eat at normal times, and feel free to eat 5 or 6 times per day (each meal being smaller than a normal meal). Also, you SHOULD unwind - have less stress. Easy for a guy to say, I know. Maybe a nice retreat?

Are you excited? Have names picked out? GOD BLESS!

Answer 2

Sweet, the odds are firmly on your side that about 8 months from now you will have a healthy, screaming baby in your arms!
The best thing you can do for baby at this point is stop worrying & be positive about the outcome. You don't mention your age, which could effect the miscarriage risks, but try not to think about it. Of course, stop smoking, drinking coffee, and eat the right foods.
I'm sure you'll be fine, pregnancy is a very natural process. Let your body take over, it knows what to do and give your mind a rest.
Stress and worry up your chances of losing the baby.
I had all the same fears and even rushed down to the emergency room at 6 weeks pregnant thinking i was losing her. It turned out to be gas!
I'm now 21 weeks along and finally realizing that the best gift I can give my unborn is positive thinking.

Answer 3

you can't do anything to prevent them. If it is going to happen then you can't stop it. It happens b/c the baby usually isn't formed correctly or isn't sustainably with life. I am five weeks pregnant and I am happy I am but I am not worried either. I will get excited about being pregnant when I am past 24 weeks. That is the age the baby is viable or can live after birth. I work in a NICU and have seen many things and many babies either born still born or die b/c they were too sick and too little. I have learned it is a sad part of life, but usually it is for the better. If those kiddos would have survived they would have had so many problems with life that quality would have been really bad. Just take is one day at a time and enjoy your pregnancy. Don't worry too much. There is nothing you can do about it. Don't expose your self to smoke or chemicals, avoid caffeine, eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of rest. If you do miscarry just remember it is not your fault and you can try again.

Answer 4

The only thing you can do is be as healthy as you can be. Don't smoke or drink. But really most miscarriages can not be prevented. Most miscarriages are the body's way of getting rid of a baby that has something too wrong with it to live. I'm sure you and your baby will be fine. Don't worry too much. Good health and God bless to you and your family.

Answer 5

Well calm down for starters !You're worrying about things you can't control. Just don't smoke or drink or do drugs or any of that normal stuff any doctor or anyone with common sense would say ! I hope you believe in GOD ! You worry to much. Trust and believe and be a good girl ,you will be fine. And take your pre -natal vitimans. They have folic acid which helps prevent certain birth defects. I know, there huge and they taste yucky if you let them touch your tongue,but get a big glass of water and tell yourself your doing it for your baby! Good Luck hun !

Answer 6

There's not much you can do to control a miscarriage. YOu should definitely try to reduce stress (maybe meditation or contemplative prayer), stay healthy, and avoid as many environmental toxins as possible.

My best piece of advice is to "get in touch" w/ your baby. W/ my daughter, I missed a lot of the joy of pregnancy b/c I was so terrified I would lose the baby. W/ my son, I swore I would just try to commune w/ the baby and enjoy my pregnancy. I would hold my belly, talk to my baby, close my eyes and imagine what he might look like right that moment. I'd imagine I was sending waves of radiant love to him. It sounds goofy, but it really helped me enjoy my baby and relax.

Answer 7

Definitely stop stressing about it. It won't help anything that is for sure. There aren't too many other things you can do to prevent a miscarriage other than good ob care and take your vitamins and prevent stress. Otherwise there is nothing else.
Good luck

Answer 8

thats a common feeling! i dont think that stress would cause a MC...when i first found out i was pregnant i wanted to educate my self on everything..and what i have learned about MC is that the body rejects it b/c some how it knows there is something wrong with that embryo!..i am sure you are fine! you should have a ultrasound soon..to "determine" the due date of your baby..and if they SEE a heartbeat! you are pretty much in the clear of a MC!

Answer 9

Try going to get a massage or listening to peaceful music( like those ocean waves cd's) before you go to bed. You just need to relax as much as possible. I bet that will help. If you do get a massage be sure to let them know you are pregnant.

Answer 10

stress isnt good for a baby or mom, but I have never heard of stress itself actually causing a miscarrige. If you think you are going to have one because of light spotting, ect, please, put your feet up and rest. They told my sister with her son a year ago she was having a threatened miscarrige and to put her feet up and relax and dont move. She is fine now and just had his 1st brithday! Good luck!
