How do I stop worrying about this pregnancy?

Question

I had a miscarriage in January. We were crushed, I was about 8 weeks along. I found out a few days ago that I'm about 5 weeks pregnant. Which obviously I'm excited about. But I can't stop thinking what if something happens. So I guess my question is has anyone else had a miscarriage then gotten pregnant again and felt like this? Also does anyone have a success story after a miscarriage that could help ease my mind?

Answer

I had a similar situation. Last year I had my first pregnancy result in miscarriage at about 8 weeks (February). I got pregnant again soon after and also suffered another miscarriage at around 5 weeks (June). My husband and I found out in December that we were pregnant again but it was so hard to allow ourselves to get attached to the idea of it after what we had been through. I am 16 weeks now, have seen the baby once, heard the heartbeat twice, but still have so much anxiety about the possibility of something happening. I'm past the "critical period" according to my doctor but that doesn't really help ease my mind either. I wish I could tell you it gets better but I'm still waiting on that. Maybe once I can feel the baby move... Just remember that stress is bad for your baby and as long as nothing is making you think that something is wrong, everything probably fine (I know, easier said than done).

We had a miscarraige in Feb last year, we were so excited and it was such a hard time to get through. We continued TTC but I had lost a bit of hope. We fell pregnant again in the July and I  now 37 weeks, I have found this pregnancy difficult as I have worried none stop and been very sick all the way through but it will be worth it once baby is here. Try and stay positive and just take each day as it comes xx

Answer

I had an early mc and worried like crazy this time. I felt better when we passed the point when I lost last time, again when I passed 13 weeks, and almost completely fine after I started feeling movement. I got super nervous again when it came time for our 20 week ultrasound but everything came out perfect. My point is, it will get better. Just do your best not to dwell on the fear for now.

Answer

I feel like this to. We had 3 miscarages (2 chemical and one regular). I'm super happy now and I am 5 weeks and 3 days. Found out at exactly 3 weeks. I'm thinking this is the good sign. All hcg levels are quadrupeling or doubling so I'm just watching it close. Praying for this to be a sticky baby.
