how do I stop worrying I will miscarry? how do I enjoy early pregnancy?

Question

i miscarried 7 years ago with my exhusband at about 8 weeks. he was super abusive and im the end, Im glad a child never had to be subjected to volatile behavior. now I am happily & newly remarried to an amazing man. I am 5.5 weeks along and if I dont feel extreme uterine stretching daily, Im convinced something is wrong. with pregnancy #1 I never had symptoms. this pregnancy I have tons! also Ive had hcg drawn several times, its quadrupling  every 3 days. How do I just enjoy this?

Answer

I know that this is not especially helpful, but I haven’t experienced much “joy” in early pregnancy and I’m 14 weeks.  Maybe when I can feel movement I will, but it just seems like 14 weeks of nausea, hunger, weird pains, starting to pee when I sneeze and gaining weight.  Seeing the scan was kind of cool and hearing the heartbeat is nice, but then it just goes back to blah.  And I’m in a great mental place too, I’m super happy with my life, but to me, I’m not feeling anything “magical.”  So my point is, it’s not like you’re doing pregnancy “wrong” and not enjoying something you should be.  It just isn’t all that enjoyable to begin with, to me.

Answer

What does extreme uterine stretching feel like? I miscarried about 7 months ago and I’m the opposite. If I feel the slightest twinge or cramp I’m crying and already practically mourning the loss of my second baby. I wish I had some advice. All I can say is that miscarriages rarely mean any fertility or reproductive issues on your end, and less than 2% of women experience a second loss.

Answer

usually ppl say not to think about it so much, and focus on something else, but from a person who once had a miscarriage, just look how far you came and since you have a different better life you won't be so stressed out and if your husband is supportive he will help with a stressful pregnancy
