at what point in a rainbow pregnancy did you finally feel 'safe'?

Question

This is my rainbow pregnancy (after a miscarriage) and I've already made it farther along than my last but I'm so paranoid, I've had a lot of CM so every time I feel some in my panties I have to run and go check because I'm afraid it's blood. Is there a point when this stops, and I'll just relax and enjoy it without a worry in the world like I see many women do who've never had a loss? I hope I'll feel better after my 8 week appointment but I'm not sure if I will

Answer

I've had 2 prior miscarriages both around 6 weeks. I got pregnant again back in July with twins yay! But I'm almost 28 weeks and I still don't feel "safe" I still check my underwear every time I go to the bathroom and ect. The one thing that significantly helped me though was I bought a home Doppler so I could listen to the heartbeats in between doctors appointments it put my mind at ease. Good luck with your pregnancy :)

Answer

I had an ultrasound this week at 8 weeks and saw the heartbeat. It gave me a bit of assurance since my last 2 pregnancies the baby passed before developing a heartbeat. But I am still incredibly nervous. I check for blood and worry constantly. I honestly don't think I will be able to fully relax this pregnancy.

Answer

Following! In exactly the same boat and I just can't stop worrying about every little twinge or weird feeling 😫

Answer

I didnt make my rainbow pregnancy public until I was 14 weeks. And i didnt necessarily feel comfortable until i felt him move consistently.

Answer

Honestly my OB had a lot to do with me feeling "safe" with this pregnancy. He told me the chance of having another miscarriage after hearing a healthy heartbeat on the first Ultrasound (at 8 weeks) drops down to less than 2%. That helped a lot especially through the first trimester, but I didn't feel completely safe then. When I could feel her moving around in my tummy was when I actually had no more worries about losing her.

Answer

I felt better after I started feeling movement, but even then I didn't feel completely safe until she was in my arms. And I still worry about her and check on her constantly. When you become a mom the worrying never stops!

Answer

I didn't feel safe until she was born!  I didn't tell my family until 12 weeks and I didn't tell friends or work until I started to show at 6 months.
