When you're early in pregnancy, every twinge can send you panicking to the bathroom to check for blood. Spotting or bleeding are the signs that most people know to look for as a symptom of miscarriage. The problem is that there can be other signs or even no signs. This can make it difficult to tell when something is wrong with your pregnancy.
Sometimes cramping or low backache can be a sign that you're miscarrying. This is to be thought of like contractions. Though sometimes cramping and backache aren't signs of anything other than cramping and backache. This can be terribly confusing.
So the trick is to put it out of your mind as long as possible. I remember telling one OB that I wished I could sleep the entire first trimester away. She told me that was silly, but I'm not sure she understood how frightening every twinge was for me. In the end, I wound up trying to remember that I had no control over it. I couldn't wish away the symptoms, I couldn't prevent a miscarriage. And for the most part that's true of every pregnant woman.
So while we can't stop the worry or the twinges, we can choose how we respond to it. That response can be trying to calm yourself down or seeking the advice of your midwife or doctor to help calm yourself.
