Symptoms mean nothing in regards to miscarrying. Honestly, there's just nothing you can do except try and think rationally and practice stopping any negative thoughts.

Me! Especially since I had 2 losses prior to this pregnancy. I wish I had more advice for you, but really just take it one day at a time. Right NOW you are pregnant. Repeating that to myself really helped.

And I disagree that more symptoms mean less likely to miscarry. I've hardly had any this time around, and I'm still pregnant at 11w

Hang in there and

All I can do is commiserate. Honestly, it sounds cold-hearted, but the only that eased my anxiety this pregnancy was not allowing myself to connect or really think of myself as pregnant until after the 1st appt, but then of course the anxiety flooded in

@Applesandbananas: I'm 7.5 weeks and coming off the heels of two successive miscarriages (1 mm, 1 dramatic chemical) in the summer/fall. Yes, I am *very* anxious. The thing that has helped me more than anything is something that a friend IRL told me--she said, "this sounds harsh, but your fate is sealed." If the fetus doesn't make it, the overwhelming likelihood is chromosomal issues determined at conception. I don't know why, but the realization that whatever is going to happen has already been decided weeks ago was a huge weight off my shoulders. Still a mess, but somehow I could just surrender a little bit to the not-knowing.

Like many of the other ladies on here, my symptoms are not dramatic. Breasts only got sore at 6w, a little tired, food aversions and *some* waves of queasiness, but no real nausea and no vomiting. I hope these wise ladies are right that it's meaningless--my OB seems to think so, too. The silver lining of your appointment being at 9w is that if it goes well, you can really let your shoulders down quite a bit by that point. Hope you are hanging in there

I get "waves" of anxiety.

I thought that when I felt anxious it was bad for the baby. But now I know it's just my hormones causing it. So when I get the wave of anxiety feeling, I take a deep breath and it goes away.
