New mum worrying about miscarriage :((

[blondethoughts98]

Hi everyone
I’m a first time young mum. It’s been about 4 weeks since I conceived.

im so worried about miscarriage. I’m so worried that I’m paying for a private ultrasound at 6 weeks.

All I can think about is having the scan and being told there is no baby.

a few close friends and family know I’m pregnant because it was unplanned and I needed the support but I’m going to feel absolutely devastated if I then have to tell them I’ve lost the baby.

im trying to think positive but it’s hard.

Hey @blondethoughts98 unfortunately many if not most of us worry about this very issue. You can't do anything except take it one day at a time, maybe have the odd private scan (but be wary of "needing" those extra scans, they won't change the course of anything).

Take your folic acid as you've no doubt already been doing whilst TTC, stay healthy if you can and try to keep busy.

Ah, bugger, just seen that it was unplanned so you weren't TTC. In that case hopefully you've started the Prenatals now!
