How to overcome the fear of miscarrying again?

Question

Dear glow community,
I just had an early miscarriage last week and my husband and I got the green light from my doctor that it is safe to start trying to conceive again after I stop bleeding and we feel comfortable enough to try.
We are so hopeful that we will become parents one day and we have both dreamed of starting a family since we were kids. How do you get over that anxiety of miscarrying and cling to hope? Sending love & light to you all.
Thank you,
G

Answer

I’m 3 miscarriages down now so I have no idea how to answer that question. Getting a positive pregnancy test is no longer exciting. For most people, a positive test means a baby. They tell their partners and they video it and get excited about their future baby. I tell my partner and we just kind of sit and wonder how long this one will make it.
All I know is we keep trying after every time, so something in us truly believes it is going to happen one day. I refuse to accept we can’t have babies yet, and that’s what keeps me going right now!

Answer

I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy and am now pregnant again. I’m currently 8weeks, and no you never really get over a miscarriage. I was very anxious initially and still am on occasion. The only thing I can do is take things one day at a time. 
When I start to get overwhelmed with anxiety, I remind myself that in this moment, I am pregnant and my baby is safe inside of me. 
Deep breaths and sending you nothing but love!

I don’t think you do honey. I’ve had 3 losses, 3 failed rounds of ivf and I’m naturally pregnant now. Terrified is the only word to describe it. We’re 5 weeks and we haven’t celebrated and we won’t until 12 weeks just due to high levels of fear that this too won’t work out too.

Answer

Me personally.  I can admit i was slightly paranoid a d scared but once i realized there’s literally nothing i can do to prevent a possible MC , i had no choice but to go with the flow and chill out.

Answer

It’s very hard but I just try to take everything 1 days at a time. I told my husband that I keep expecting/looking for bleeding every single time I go to the bathroom. He said I probably have a touch of PTSD 😞

Answer

I also had a miscarriage in December and now ttc just take each day as it comes ❤️

Answer

I’m not sure you ever get over the loss. Holding your breath seems to be part of the journey now.

Answer

I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔 My miscarriage was a pain that definitely stayed with me for quite a while. When we got pregnant again 8 months after our loss, that fear and anxiety was definitely there. I kept telling myself to just take it one day at a time. Even after we heard a strong heartbeat, and even with every ultrasound with promising results...we still always felt like we were stepping forward with cautious optimism. The good news is, I truly believe having suffered a miscarriage and struggling to conceive strengthened the bond between my husband and I and better prepared us to be great parents and a communicative team. ❤️ Hoping you get your rainbow baby soon!  Think positive!
