I feel the same way, the risk of miscarriage is just so high in the first 12 weeks that's it's really hard not to worry about it.

for me it was htting that 12 week mark and seeing my baby on the first scan its made it feel more real and i dont feel so scared everytime i go to the bathroom. but there is always a little niggle in the back of my mind xxx

I agree with you 100%!! That's part of the reason we haven't told anyone yet. I'm at 7w 4d. I have my first scan in exactly 1 week (and I can't wait!!!). We're not telling our family until Christmas (which will be 9w 4d for me). This will be the first grandchild for both sets of parents, and it will be difficult enough to deal with the devastation of a MC on our own, but knowing how let down our parents will be if they knew...well, that's just even harder!!

I'm really looking forward to that 12 week mark!!

I don't think it ever gets easier or we ever learn to relax.

I found with DD#1 I was ever vigilant, and I guess I'm the same with this one. As the baby grows, we trade one set of risks for another set. We get good with dealing with the stress, but the troubles and worries never really go away.

Welcome to being a Mommy!
