UPDATE: My first appointment is on Monday 11/26. I should be roughly 8w2d on that day. Fingers crossed everything is going perfectly & this baby sticks!! 🤞🏼🙏🏼

We discovered we had a miscarriage in August at our 10 week appointment & had a D&C at 11w3d. The recovery was ok for the most part except some muscle pain that has slowly gotten better but stayed with me for the last almost 3 months. I’ve been to the chiropractor and it seemed to help a little but not much. My OB shrugged it off & said it probably wasn’t related 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ We are now 7 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby & I cannot stop overanalyzing every little thing. I’m terrified of having another miscarriage, especially right before the holidays. All of my friends have gotten pregnant or are getting pregnant easily and going on to have healthy babies & pregnancies... as happy as I am for them, it kills me. We only tried 2x for our first baby and got pregnant on our first try with this baby, so I’m not complaining because getting pregnant has been the easy part (which I’m incredibly grateful for) but staying pregnant is what’s scaring me.

I’ve cut out all caffeine, I’m eating a majority Organic diet of whole foods & I’ve been taking my prenatals, probiotics & prenatal DHA. I’ve been drinking lots of water every day, going on walks when I can, resting as much as possible & praying constantly. Is there anything else I can be doing?

My boobs have been very sore & veiny, I’m using the bathroom very often, I’m dizzy if I stand up too quickly & ive been having occasional nausea - so I’m trying to take all of those as good signs but I had all those symptoms (except peeing a lot) last time.

Does anyone have any words of advice that may help me calm down? I’m terrified to even make my doctors appointment because I feel like I’m almost having a little PTSD & I’d be reliving it all over again. I’m just so scared of it happening again... please kind words only! I’m just so scared, we want this baby to stick SO badly! My husband is so supportive & keeps telling me I shouldn’t worry because we have no reason to, but we had no symptoms last time either & I can’t help but worry.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!
