effects on baby

Postby Guest on Tue Jul 19, 2005 7:04 pm

hi,im posting on this forum because im worried about something that happened a long time ago and how it may effect my new baby. when i was 14 i was kind of forced into having sex,i wasnt raped,but it deffinately wasnt through choice. after we had slept together,i missed my next two periods,i was scared to go to the doctors or tell my parents,so confided in my cousin who was 17 at the time.she said i probably wasnt pregnant,as we used a condom,but bought me a pregnancy text anyway.i took it and it was negative. a few weeks later at school,i slipped down some concrete steps and sort of got my period back.at the time,my cousin said it just gave my period a jolt and brought it back,but it was different and so painful,im convinced that it was a misscarriage.i know that the pregnancy test was negative but to me it really felt like i was losing a baby.i have wanted a baby ever since then,i am extremely maternal and want to have 6 kids! im 18 now and have just found out im pregnant,i have booked an appointment at the hospital,but it isnt for e few weeks.im just worried that is what i had was a misscarriage,maybe i could lose this baby,and that would hurt me so badly,i do want this baby and i am so excited,but i still feel astho im mourning for what happened before,and i dont want it to happen again,can you offer me any advice?

Hi. First off, let the dr know what happened with the first baby. They may have you take precautions...very important to let them know!!!

I am really excited for you and I will keep you in my prayers...I pray God's protection on you and your little God.

Hey bethan, congrats on the good news.

You should definitely talk to your doctor any time about concerns you have, but in the mean time try not to worry because chances are everything will be fine.

I worried about heaps of stuff early in pregnancy, but you get more confident as time goes on, and it's natural to worry anyway.

Also, you do not know for sure if what happened previously was a miscarriage, and even if it was, there is no reason why it should have an effect on this pregnancy.

So good luck and don't be afraid to seek the help you need from your doctor.
