5 weeks pregnant and petrified of problems. Have you experienced this?

So there with you! I got a positive test just shy of 4 weeks pregnant (although we thought I was further along). I was so scared, and everyone around me kept on making miscarriage comments! To make things worse, I went to my first appointment and found the baby wasn't measuring where we thought it should and I had low progesterone, so I had to go through a hard week until I got another another ultrasound a week later and found out the baby was growing like it should (our dates must have been off). Even though we have detected a heartbeat on ultrasound, I'm anxiously awaiting our 2nd appointment next week, and I don't know what I'll do if they can't find the heartbeat on doppler! Just try to take a deep breath and relax because it is out of your hands. If you are a religious person, bring your fears up to God, because He is the only person with control over the situation! My faith has done wonders for my fear. Good luck!
