Worrying about miscarriage

I feel exactly the same, its really opened my eyes that the statistics are higher than I thought. My mind seems to spiral everyday at the moment which I know isn't healthy x

I’ve had two great, healthy, full term pregnancies, and for some reason (I don’t think it’s related to this group) keep worrying about miscarrying, even so it has never really been a worry for me before.
I think that when you find out you’re pregnant and you’re on this app, you’ll join your due date month group pretty quick, and I think because it’s still so early for us all that’s why it looks like so many people are having a miscarriage!

Thanks girls, it makes sense, I had a doctors appointment as I was worried about it and he was like ‘what makes you think you are going miscarry’ and I said nothing I am just worrying, he was like… maybe you just need counseling, nothing we can do for you about that - (this was private I didn’t waste nhs resources for this) but just ahh it’s scary! Feel so attached to the tiny tiny little orange pip

I’ve had a previous miscarriage and then had my little girl who is now 20 months. I constantly worry about having another miscarriage but also try and remind myself that if this baby is meant to be then they will stick around. I found out at 3w5d so knew that because it was so early, the probability of miscarrying was higher, but the further along I get the lower the likelihood. As mentioned above, we’re all still so early so proportionally there will be more people miscarry and because of the nature of peanut, people are more open about it than in real life. There’s no guarantee that you won’t miscarry but you’re much more likely to not miscarry so try and not stress over it too much (easier said than done I know as someone who struggles a lot with anxiety!)

Thanks Mairi for sharing your story! Hoping for the best for us all and our mini mini ones ❤️

The further along you go the less likely you are to misscarry so try and think of each day as one step away from that possibility it's hard but I think everyone has that worry especially in the first trimester

I’m feeling the same way I’ve had previous miscarriages and I’ve convinced myself I’m having one even though I’m not bleeding and still tired and sore boobs. I’ve had a missed miscarried and a normal miscarriage so at this point nothing will calm my nerves apart from my scan on Friday 😩

I’m feeling exactly the same! I have had two scans and thought that would help calm me, but I am so paranoid too. I think this app is great but I also don’t know if it’s super healthy for me 😅
