Scared of another miscarriage

Holly

Need some advice ladies on how to deal with the worry of having another miscarriage and get excited for this rainbow baby!

So my back story. I have a very healthy two and half year old boy. Very easy pregnancy which did not prepare me for the miscarriage I had about 5 months ago. I was devastated and all though I know it happens never thought it would happen to me.

Fast forward today. I am about 8 and half weeks pregnant. Saw the doctor last week and had an ultrasound that confirmed the pregnancy and saw the heartbeat. This time during my pregnancy I would have had no problem telling people including coworkers. And frankly just be very excited and preparing for the baby! This time around I’m so worried. I don’t want to jinx it and having a hard time getting excited. With my MC there was no symptoms and only found out after I went to the doctors and at first the ultrasound showed an empty sac. After going to a higher tech ultrasound twice they determined the baby didn’t have a heart beat and was no longer developing. I had no symptoms what so ever there was something wrong. I also have a friend who just had a miscarriage after she saw the heartbeat around 8 weeks.

What can I do to stop worrying and get excited for this pregnancy? If I could I would be at the doctors every other day getting an ultrasound I would but I know that’s not going to happen!
