Worrying about miscarrying…. How do I relax?

Question

I got a positive result at 9dpo, although very faint it was there and is getting stronger day by day (am now 12dpo). 
I can’t help but keep thinking about miscarrying. We’ve tried for so long for this that I am terrified it will be ripped away from me. I haven’t experienced one; but my friend has twice in the past 7months so it feels like it absolutely can and does happen. 
Has anyone got any tips on how to just bloody relax? 🫣.

Answer

Honestly as someone who’s been through 5 losses.. I’m probably bring very controversial here but keep off apps like this in early stages.  There’s some wonderful support, but there’s also a lot of feeding off each other’s anxieties and overthinking the smallest symptom. Watching person after person share pictures of bleeding and announcing their miscarriage. It isn’t helpful. DO NOT daily test - it quickly becomes another anxiety feeder. Also, research actual statistics of miscarriages, seeing the odds drop day by day is something to hold on to.

Answer

I had multiple chemical miscarriages and as soon as I stopped caring was when I fell pregnant. So I think if you imagine the stress will only hurt the potential baby forming and just relaxing will help it to stick. Congrats by the way! Celebrate the success!

Answer

I hear ya. I have had three MC and the third pregnancy I worried a lot. Something that was helpful for me to hear was this: 
“You are pregnant now. Enjoy that. That is what you do have control over.” 
When I focused on embracing the joy of being pregnant it helped me push my fears back a little. I still lost the pregnancy but that thought process kept me strong and willing to try again. 
Hugs. 💕

Answer

I've had 3 miscarriages in the past year, even before them I was scared and anxious about it. I'm pregnant again, 5w4d, and obviously on my mind. But I'm trying to not think about it as much, there's nothing I can do to stop it, so I'm trying to embrace every symptom of this pregnancy. Even though I'm feeling rough, it's a good sign that my hormones are rising and there's a chance it will be successful. I'm sorry that I don't have more helpful words, but just try to embrace your journey and your feelings. I think every women feels this way regardless of experiencing previous loss or not.

For me two things:
1. I kept telling myself that every blood-free day is a good day - no bleeding, no reason to worry (small spotting doesn't count)
