How do you get your mind off miscarriage?

Question

I’m 4 weeks pregnant I’m not having my appointment for another month. It’s my second pregnancy and I lost the first one at 6 weeks. It was a missed miscarriage.
I need some practical advice on how to stop worrying. I’m keeping myself busy but you can’t be busy 24/7.

Answer

Sorry for your previous loss. And i don't want to be a negative nancy, but you probably will always be anxious through out the whole pregnnacy. I was. And even now have a 4 month old and everything is anxiety inducing. If its getting too out of hand then talk to a professional. Throughout pregnancy i had to test multiple times a day till i was 8 weeks. And then i got a doppler at 12 weeks which i used all time till babys birth. Wishing you a lovely pregnancy x

Answer

You just have to take it day by day. You can’t keep yourself busy 24/7, but you can try practicing mindfulness & redirect your thoughts when you’re having negative or anxious thoughts. I have 3 kids, after 2 losses & I’m currently 25 weeks with our fourth. Unfortunately the fears never truly go away, there is always some anxiety there.. no matter how far along you get & even after they’re born.. there is still anxiety. I try to focus on what is in my control rather than worry about hypothetical issues outside of my control. Take care of yourself, focus on being healthy & try to think positively. When you’re getting anxious, ground yourself & redirect.

I’m going through the same thing. I had a chemical in Dec at 4 weeks. Had to have a D&C in Feb. I got my positive today and I’m a little over 3 weeks according to my app. I’m all in my head. I want to be excited but I’m more worried than anything. Hopefully both our babies stick! Feel free to reach out if you want. ❤️
