Many expectant mothers, like you, find themselves overwhelmed by anxiety surrounding the possibility of miscarriage, even when everything appears to be progressing well. It’s completely normal to feel this way, especially during the early weeks of pregnancy, where each symptom—or even the absence of one—can prompt a wave of concern.
The truth is, worrying is a natural part of motherhood, and many women excel at it, particularly during their first pregnancy. I remember my own first-time jitters; my anxiety drove me to write a book aimed at helping parents navigate their worries. After all, growing a baby is an experience that often feels beyond our control. It unfolds deep within, without visible signs of progress until those much-anticipated ultrasound appointments or the first gentle kicks.
It’s important to remember that early pregnancy can be daunting, and while it’s easy to spiral into panic over every twinge or lack thereof, it’s essential to focus on the positive. Research indicates that as your pregnancy progresses, the chances of miscarriage significantly decrease. A great resource for understanding more about pregnancy and fertility can be found at the CDC’s page on infertility here.
