Q: I'm Officially Pregnant!!!

Hi everyone!

I am so excited. I will be 5 weeks tomorrow (i'm due on halloween)! Along with being excited I am also terrified. My only other pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 13 weeks so I am so scared now. I want to enjoy this but it's hard not to dwell on the bad things that can happen. My doctor doesn't see people until they're 8-10 weeks so my 1st appointment isn't until march 29th and I think i'll be nervous until then. I'm sure once I hear the heartbeat i'll be fine but until then i'm going to be a wreck. Despite being really scared I am so happy. So if you're religious i'm asking that you please pray for me. And if not then just think happy thoughts for me!

Good luck

Congratulations!!!

It's hard not to worry when you have had a miscarriage prior to this one. I'm sure everything will be just fine :)

Thanks everyone! I don't think i'll go so far as to rent a doppler. I didn't even know that was an option! A woman from my doctor's office called me today and eased my mind a bit, she told me that given the type of miscarriage I had the chances of having another are extremely slim. So now i'm thinking happy positive thoughts and I can't wait to be a mom!

I dont know if anyone told you but once u hear the babys heartbeat the chance of miscarriage dropes by 40% as well usually second pregnancy hold a better chance and that also drops the rate of misccarige I believe 5-15% dont fret unless u there are medical issues prohibiting the pregnancy like rh factor etc!!

Good luck and congratz!!!
