Question

Anyone ever just have a "feeling"

I recently found out I was pregnant. Im just over 4 weeks now, but am so scared about a miscarriage I spend hours online googling it (hence what im even doing now). I had one pregnancy that resulted in twins, but I was never scared then or had any feeling about miscarriages, maybe because it was an unplanned pregnancy, im not sure. But now that this baby was planned, all I can think about is loosing it. Im healthy, take my vitamins, but is this normal to worry? Please just give me words of advice, I need to get my mind off of this, its literally driving me crazy.

I am in the exact same position and it is definitely scary! Have you gotten blood tests yet? If your HCG is doubling normally I think the risk of MC drops to 10-15%. After the heartbeat is detected it drops to 5%. In the second trimester, less. It can be a relief to at least get the bloodwork done. I have also been telling myself lately that there is nothing I can do to prevent or cause a MC at this rate (unless I did something very dumb like drink bleach) which has helped me to "let it go" a bit. Good luck hun!

Thanks for the advice...thats a good way of thinking about things. I have gotten blood work done, but it was only to tell if I was pregnant or not, they did not do the levels. I found out 7 days before my missed period, it was very faint, but it was there. And I took a test 2 days ago and it was much darker. Made me feel better, but you still never know!
