How to deal with fear of MC
I was told since I was a teenager I would never be able to get pregnant on my own, my husband and I start trying around 5 years ago, we started seeing a fertility clinic about a year ago, after 6 months of strict vitamins regimen and one round of letrozole +metformin I’m finally pregnant and I turn 15 weeks in 3 days.
But I haven’t seen my ob in 4 weeks and Im having the hardest time shaking this fear of losing my baby. Every morning I wake up and I still can’t believe it, it’s like a dream come true and I’m terrified I’m going to wake up at any moment.
I have my next app on Monday at 2 pm, Any words of encouragement to help me get trough the next 3 days would be highly appreciated. 🥹🤰🏻🤷🏻♀️💙

Awe... not much to say but you are not alone. ❤ Every first time mom feels that way. Especially when you have been through so much to get to this point. I had horrific mc nightmares my first pregnancy and I did not have any fertility troubles.
The best reassurance I can offer is that the rate of miscarriage is so so low at this point in your pregnancy that you have made it past the scary rickety part. Soon you will feel your baby moving in there and it will be a daily reminder that he or she is safe and growing.
thank you. I appreciate this. Congrats on your pregnancy too. 💕
I just wanted to say I totally feel you on this- we did three years of IVF to get here and I keep thinking ‘when is the dream bubble going to burst?’ But then I have to remind myself it wasn’t easy to get here, and everyone else in a similar position will be thinking those same thoughts. It is terrifying as it is so out of our control.
I’ve found that having some extra reassurance scans has helped my anxiety and making sure im on top of everything with the doctors, I have let them know i’m anxious especially due to how long it took to get here etc. and I think that helps them to be more aware and supportive.
As you have an app in 3 days, just try and find whatever you can to distract you in those days- even if that is binge watching a Netflix show or something. Or perhaps catch up with some friends? Distraction is the only thing I’ve found helpful and also putting my phone away as the more I read pregnancy forums etc the more im going to see sad stories etc
Good luck! You got this!
thank you 🙏💕. Congratulations on your rainbow 🌈 baby too!
Thank you! And congratulations to you too 💖💖
Honey you are in the second trimester already! The percent of losing is so small like 3%. God is good and you are having this baby! It was a long journey to get you where you are! Monday you ll have your appointment and it ll give you more assurance! You got this!
( I’m 13 weeks and my next appointment it’s in 3 weeks) I make myself busy! Buy some cute clothes if you already know the gender! 💖
