Did I Lose the Baby?
Posted: 10-07-03 07:08am

The first time I was pregnant, when I went for my first exam at 9 weeks the baby did not have a heartbeat, I ended up having a d&c instead of waiting for it to happen naturally. I do have one child, he is three years old and I remember being sicker when I was pregnant with him. I am only about 4 weeks along I think and my appointment isnt until the 23rd but I dont feel nauseated anymore and my breasts/nipples do not feel tender anymore. I am scared to death I have lost this pregnancy already, what should I do? Im afraid of sounding like a hypocondriac if I call the doctor and making them upset because it could be nothing. Thanks for any help.

Dear kyler,

you didn't mention whether you have been spotting or bleeding with this pregnancy, if you haven't been, don't panic, everything is most probably fine. Some women who end up miscarrying do not experience any morning sickness because the placenta is not developing properly, but you must also keep in mind that some women who have completely normal pregnancies do not experience morning sickness either. Every pregnancy you have will be different. I know how hard it is to stay positive about your pegnancy after a miscarriage. I had a miscarriage myself 3 months ago. I am now 9 weeks pregnant again and a little worried, but trying to stay positive. As long as you are doing all the right things and not smoking, drinking and doing anything to labour intensive, your pregnancy should be fine this time around. Keep regular appointments with your doctor and most of all, take care of yourself.

Good luck,

.::suzy::.

I have not been spotting or bleeding, but I did not spot or bleed when I lost my first pregnancy. The only real reason I am concerned is because for the last two weeks, every morning when I wake up I feel really sick and my breasts were starting to swell and become tender, but now I do not feel sick and my breasts dont hurt anymore though they have not gotten nearly as big as they did with my son. I have been trying to stay positive and believe everything is alright, but it is hard considering when I lost the first one I had no clue until the doctor told me and still, a week later when I had the surgery I still had not bled or had any cramping or anything. I'll think on it a bit more and I welcome any more thoughts or suggestions.

It's natural to feel this scared. I used to do the same thing when I was pregnant. I would cry and say, my boobs are sore, etc... If you're that worried, go to the Dr. I promise, they don't care. I visited mine a lot
