pregnant and scared!!!

Nicole,

I am so sorry about the loss of your two precious angels. I understand the scared feeling. I am currently 10 weeks pregnant after 1 premature birth. My membranes ruptured without warning. I think the best thing for you to do at this point is talk to your doctor. Tell him your concerns and ask as many questions as you need to. Also, don't be afraid to call him. Sometimes just some reassurance will help. The important thing is to try not to stress too much. I know that is easier said than done, but if you can keep yourself busy with de-stressers, that should help! Maybe try scrapbooking or doing fun things with your kids. Keep yourself busy and it will take your mind off of it a little bit. Call your girlfriends and go out to dinner. It can do wonders for the soul. Keep us updated and hang in there!

Hugs and Love,
Aimee

Aimee,
 Thank you. I did get some things to help take my mind off things for a while. Hopefully it helps. Congrats on your pregnancy I hope everything goes well. I also started writing in a journal it helps to get my feelings off my chest wether or not anyone else will see it. My husband is very supportive this time (he's usually the nervous one)
Thanks again for the support and advice!
Nicole

I am 4 weeks right now and so scared. My first pregnancy ended at 23 weeks. Same as you, no explanation, just went into preterm labor. A year later, I had a miscarriage at 6 1/2 weeks. Now, it is my 3rd pregnancy. I am just trying so hard to stay positive. The cramps and slight discharge are what scare me. Even though, I know it is normal. I need to find stuff to keep busy also. Good luck with your next 35 weeks!

I understand how you are feeling! I had a normal healthy pregnancy with my first child. My second pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. When I got pregnant again I was scared in the beginning but once I passed my first trimester I relaxed because I thought everything would be ok. I was so wrong! My daughter stopped moving at 28 weeks. She was born via emergency csection because she was dying. I decided then to have no more babies. Fate had a different plan though. I found myself pregnant again when my daughter was a year and a half. This time I had no feeling of a 'safe time'. I knew anything could go wrong at anytime and with me I had two out of three bad pregnancies. Well my doctor was very careful with me. We did experience some problems but my son was born a borderline iugr baby at 36 weeks. It was a very stressful pregnancy but I found this group of pregnant moms here and they saved my sanity. It was wonderful to know I wasn't alone. Most people in real life just don't understand how we feel. I know have three beautiful children. I wish you the best in this pregnancy.

After delivering 25 and 26 week triplet boys, and losing two in the NICU, we were told we couldn't get pregnant again.....so we didn't worry about it.

Just 7 months later we realized I was pregnant. Here is what I'd recommend...........see a Perinatologist (you are a prime candidate) and try to stay relaxed. I know that is hard, but worrying about every little thing can really stress you out. If you do feel something is wrong, call your doctor right away.
