Aw sweety! Congrats :) I had no symptoms at first either! I didn't think I was pregnant and still had doubts until I saw the baby at the sonogram haha. I'm sure everything is perfect with you. I had and still have a lot of fears about miscarriage as well. My advice to you is don't tell anyone you're pregnant unless you're comfortable with confiding in them that you've miscarried as well. We still haven't told a lot of our friends and extended family, and we're out of the first trimester! Each person is different, take it easy, make sure YOU are comfortable and have fun!
Congratulations again! Have you calculated your due date yet? :)
Congratulations!
I am experiencing something similar. A lot of people around us have miscarried lately and it makes me nervous. I deal by trying to stay calm and positive, and ensure that I do everything that's in my power to have a healthy pregnancy. If I do miscarry, I won't be able to blame myself.
I have symptoms that come and go, and I guess it would reassure me, too, to get all symptoms very strong. But we're all different...
@firsttimemom: According to google, I'm due Dec.4th. but I'm not sure how accurate that is since it was my first month of BC and I have no idea when I ovulate. I did take a test about 2 weeks ago when it was when I would have started my period had I been on the pill and it was negative. I guess I'll find out Wed.!
@Tisty1982: How exciting! An end of the year present that allows you the tax deduction for the entire year! :)
What you are feeling is so normal.
When I found out I was pregnant, I was consumed with worry. I would read into every twinge and I would think about it all the time. I also didn't let myself beleive that it was real for fear that I would lose it.
My only advice is to try to stay of google. When you look online, it seems like everyone is miscarrying, but that is not really the case. I found some comfort in the statistics and I tried to aviod alot of the miscarriage posts on message boards. I knew that there was nothing I could do to prevent it, so I tried to keep my anxiety under control the best I could. I think knowing that "whatever will happen, will happen" almost makes it harder. You feel powerless and like you are just waiting to see.
Now that I just started my 2nd trimester I can finally put some of this worry aside. But as someone who has just been there....and spent 3 months worrying all the time, I really feel for you
Congrats!! It may just be too soon to have symptoms yet. How many weeks along are you? And some women just don't really have too many symptoms. Everyone is different. Try not to worry (I know it is hard to do!) and just take care of yourself. Good luck at your appt. next week!! :)
Congrats!! I also didn't have any symptoms (beyond peeing a lot) until I was maybe 6 or so weeks along. I was worried about not having symptoms, but then once the queasiness came I realized not having symptoms wasn't such a bad thing :)
Thank you so much for all the support. We haven't told anyone about the BFP so I don't really have anyone to turn to right now with my fears. You guys are amazing
@Jenn23: I think I may be 6 weeks, according to google at least!
@Tisty1982: Congratulations! To echo PP, what you are feeling is totally normal. This is probably TMI, but for several weeks after the positive HPT, I checked my undies for blood every single time I went to the bathroom. I found myself wanting to take another HPT all the time, just to prove it was real - but I didn't. As every week goes by, you will feel better and worry less. Hitting the second trimester was a huge relief.
My advice is to do whatever you can to not worry: do some yoga, take a long walk, watch your favorite movie. Worrying will not help you or the baby one bit! Think positive, happy thoughts.
And FWIW, I didn't really have any symptoms until 8 weeks!
Congrats! The fears don't go away; it's just something that pregnant women deal with. Try not to freak yourself out too much and remember to do kick counts when you get to week 28.
Aww first of all congrats. Dont be so worried its not good for you!! Everyones pregnancy is different and not everyone has symptoms early on or the same ones. Enjoy your pregnancy :)
@lilybay: I'm doing the same thing! Every time I go potty I'm watching for spotting! And I'm so tempted to just buy a stack of HPT, but I know until I see the dr I will still not believe it.
It helps so much to know I'm not alone in feeling this way. My husband has been so supportive, but I don't think he really understands how I feel.
Congrats !!!
I know how you feel. Im 25 1/2 weeks and Im still nervous. I found out i was pregnant at 6 weeks and i didnt start getting ill until i was around 8 weeks... even then i had a hard time beleiving it. I constantly check for bleeding also.
I also have an anterior placenta which stops you from feeling the baby move as much as someone else would feel theirs... that really didnt help either.
I agree with TheFutureMcBride i dont think it ever stops..
Congratulations!!! Just wanted to add my support and echo what the PPs have said... I was SO worried. Every cramp and I thought "oh no, this is it." I kept expecting my period, and I also wanted to take a test every day just to be sure I was still pregnant. I had some pretty significant morning sickness (not throwing up but I just felt gross every.single.day) until about week 11, and to be honest I worried WAY more when it stopped... it was like the one symptom that was reminding me I was still pregnant every day went away and then I spent the next few weeks trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong, everything was fine... I worried so much!!
For me, the worrying stopped (or changed, at least, ha ha!) after I started to feel the baby move at about week 17. It's like a constant reassurance that the baby is still there and all's well. I definitely still worry, but the movement has just been something that makes me worry less.
Congratulations again, such happy news :)
Well I went to the doctor today and there is definitely a baby in my tummy! They said that I am 6w2d and my due date is Dec. 13th (my mom's birthday!!). We got to see the tiny heartbeat which was 118 which they said was good. We talked to my doctor and she suggested waiting until the 12th week before we spill the beans. We are gonna tell our parents tonight, but keep it a secret from everyone else. It's gonna be so hard!! Everything seemed to look good so hopefully that will continue :) Wow, I'm gonna be a mommy!!!
I felt pretty good right up to 6 or 7 weeks. Then I was sick sick sick. I work in the NICU and I was constantly running to the bathroom to dry heave. It was terrible. Before that I had mild cramping, headaches and sore boobs...and a little more hungry than usual. All of that lasted until about 13 weeks. I feel awesome now, all but the headaches, but I think those are more to do with allergies than hormones.
Pretty amazing seeing that little kidney bean on an ultrasound isn't it?! :) Congratulations!
Don't worry to much about it. I have had 2 miscarriages. My first pregnancy i had morning sickness from almost day one. My second i was so tired from the start i could barley stay up past 6pm. Just because you have symptoms does not gurantee a healthy pregnancy as in my cases but, if you don't have symptoms doesn't mean it is going to be a miscarriage. Best of luck.
I was so scared my entire pregnancy - I was terrified that I wouldn't see a heartbeat suddenly at an appointment. But it's out of your hands, and it doesn't help to stress (in fact that's worse for you and the baby). I know that doesn't seem helpful, but once I realized I was just trying to control and uncontrollable situation, I was able to just go with the flow. To be honest, it's good practice -you can't control how your labor will go, or how your baby will sleep, or anything else that comes along with parenthood!
Just try to relax and take care of you right now.
And yes, stay away from Google - always call your doctor with questions, no matter how trivial.
Best of luck and congrats!
@persianprincess: YAY for Christmas babies! I just saw your post - congrats! That's awesome you were able to hear the heartbeat. My next apt is May 11, I hope we can hear our too!

So Friday night I took a HPT fully acknowledging that I was wasting a test only to find a BFP staring back at me!! My husband and I weren't planning on TTC until later this year, but we went of BC in March to get my body ready - well I guess it was! 3 test later I finally started to believe that I may be pregnant. Now, I'm scared to death of miscarrying. We have our first apt next Wed and I'm so afraid I'm going to get an ultrasound and find out that something is wrong. Has anyone else felt this way?
I guess my fears come mainly from my lack of symptons. I'm not tired, if anything I have more energy, no morning sickness either. The only thing I have is tender breasts which seem to come and go. I also have fairly regular cramps. Nothing bad, it just feels like the beginning of a period. I think that is normal, but I can't shake the feeling that something is going to go wrong.
Did anyone go through something similiar? And if so how did you deal?
