I am pregnant and worried.

 

Try not to be worried. There is very little you can do to cause or prevent a miscarriage. You will do the best you can, eat the right foods, exercise when you feel up to it, and get rest.

There are number of things that may worry you: bleeding, cramping, excessive morning sickness, and other symptoms. To find a full explanation about what to worry about and what not to worry about visit these links:

When You're Okay

Another section that might help you is "Miscarriage Myths," which explains that common old wives' tales that you may have heard cause miscarriage are not true.

You should always call your doctor when you are worried, however; because it is better to call for something that does not turn out to be a problem than to stay up half the night worrying about it.
