How do you cope with the fear?

Question

I'm 4/5 weeks, two months after we lost our angel baby❤️ and I'm terrified. I've taken a pregnancy test every single day, I have a yeast infection and the medication/discharge makes me feel like I'm bleeding all the time... I just went to the bathroom and had the smallest bit of pink on my toilet paper. It appears that my labia tore open a bit (probably related to the yeast infection) but the sight of pink made me so anxious I convinced myself that we had lost this pregnancy too. 
I'm trying so hard not to worry, but I just feel a bit hopeless and like pregnancy is never going to end in a baby I can hold.

Answer

Thanks for the replies ladies... I woke up this morning to a lot of blood/basically a period. So it looks like this one didn't stick. I appreciate the comments though

Answer

I’m in my 11th week and this may be TMI but after a bowel movement yesterday I had a brown mucus discharge and COMPLETELY freaked out. I didn’t want to go to the bathroom again but also knew I needed to just to see if it continued. Thankfully it didn’t and my OB office said it’s actually normal and that I probably just strained myself going to the bathroom (thanks constipation 😅). It’s awful seeing any change in color whether it’s brown, pink or red but I honestly just had to breathe! And my husband made sure I was breathing hah. Eventually I calmed down 30 minutes later and I’ve just been trying to keep my mind on other things. Good luck mama!

Answer

A week ago (I’m about 8 weeks pregnant now), I went to the bathroom before bed and there was the tiniest bit of spotting. Like maybe a drop of pink. I balled my eyes out and screamed at my husband that I couldn’t believe I was miscarrying again. He kept saying “please try not to scare yourself, I could barely see the blood and when you miscarried, it was tons of blood and cramping. Try to get some rest and hopefully you’ll wake up in the morning and it’ll be totally fine.” So, I said, “how the heck am I suppose to sleep if I’m losing another baby?!” I just cried and cried until I finally fell asleep. I woke up in the morning with not even a drop of blood at all. I felt silly for freaking out, but honestly, I feel like that every time I use the bathroom. I’m terrified of losing this baby. But I keep trying to reassure myself of every day that goes by and that baby is growing and it’ll be okay. Another note: I still haven’t been able to get an appointment, so I haven’t seen or heard my baby yet which makes it extra hard.
