How many pregnancy tests did you take before your 1st appointment?
33f, not quite 5 weeks pregnant and have this overwhelming fear of miscarriage, even though this is my first pregnancy. My first appointment is not for another month. I have an urge to constantly take pregnancy tests to make sure the baby is still there. Does everyone feel this way, or do I seriously have issues?
Please don’t say anything mean to stress me out. I really want this baby.

You can test positive for a good week after you lose the baby and before you know anything is wrong. You can test positive even after you start bleeding with a miscarriage.Why bother?
Stop stressing yourself out, there’s no rational reason your body should fail your child, or that the baby should not be viable. Stress is the number one cause of early miscarriage.
Get on with your life and stop freaking out, you’re only making things worse.
Every woman wonders, but you have a choice of either driving yourself nuts and causing problems, or making the purposeful effort to stay busy and keep your mind on other things.
