Anyone with previous miscarriage afraid it'll happen again?!

Question

I know this could be a sore subject for some moms out there, but I'm a realist and sometimes a pessimist** and I'm pregnant with my 2nd child, and have a small fear of miscarrying. When I was 17 I miscarried (which I believe was God's way of telling me that I wasn't ready to have a child...which I most honestly was not).  When I was 28 I gave birth to my first son, Jackson (who is my world), and now at almost 30 I'm pregnant again. 
​
​ 
​**There's a reason for my pessimism with pregnancy (and reason why I never let myself get too terribly excited)...when I was younger, my older sister (by 11 years) was pregnant, carried her baby full term, and then when her water broke she went into the hospital and the nurses were unable to find his heartbeat...so there, the harsh and stunning reality that unexpected and horrible things happen to good people and innocent babies. 
​
​So here I am, pregnant, emotional, and worried about another miscarriage. I know I shouldn't think that way, nor worry about things out of my control, but I'd just like to hear from others who have been in the same or similar boats...
​
​Thank you!

I had a mmc in April and am now 5 weeks pregnant again; nervous is not the word, when I found out I burst into tears as I was so scared but now I try and think of one positive thing each day and I talk to and pat my belly (I know they can't hear anything) but it makes me feel a bit better. Have my gp appt this morning so am going to ask about an early scan cos of what I went through last time-I didn't find out anything was wrong until I went for my 12 week scan so trying not to overthink things too much. Good luck to you all, I really hope we get our bundles of joy xx

Answer

Yes but worrying about it isn't going to prevent it from happening so it beat to take your pregnancy one day at a time. You're pregnant today and that's all that matters. I lose my baby at 16.4 weeks. Loss can happen at anytime during pregnancy, birth and after birth. It's all a risk we take, we just have to hope for the best.

I miscarried in February at 5-6 weeks and I'm a high risk pregnancy this go round, at almost 7 weeks. I understand the nervous feelings, though. I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I had a major subchorionic hematoma (gestational sac and placenta is separating from uterus) and a ruptured ovarian cyst. So I'm on doctor-ordered bedrest and hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Good luck, mama. Xx

Answer

I MC in March and just found out last night I'm pregnant again. I'm beyond nervous but really excited as well. You have every reason to feel the way you feel. We just have to try and be as postive as we can. Good luck mama. ❤️

Answer

I had a mc in April. Now 7 weeks. So nervous - not really able to relax about it. Hopefully after my US next week I will start to feel better. It was such a let down - I think I am afraid of being disappointed again so I won't really let myself get excited. Really hoping it gets easier as we go along.
