Really scared of miscarrying again

I found out I’m pregnant again honestly by complete shock as we were supposed to be taking a break this month but low and behold the universe had other plans and here we are I’m so so so over the moon but the anxiety is really kicking in now and I’m terrified I’m going to have another miscarriage it’s only been 3 months since I lost our last baby at 7 weeks and I’m just terrified of it happening again I’m only 4 and a bit weeks so I know I have so long to go to get past the hurdle I keep trying to tell myself to remain positive and every pregnancy is different etc etc but the fear is still there

@Lucy thank you so much, I was in counselling anyway for the miscarriage so looks like my therapist is about to get a message from me 😂

Know the feeling! Pregnant with our rainbow and 14 weeks along! 🌈 Still shitting an absolute brick about absolutely everything and fearing that this won’t work, which is ridiculous because our three MC happened all before 10 weeks! I thought my anxiety would ease at the 12 week scan, but nope, if anything it’s worse and going to scans fills me with dread 🙄! Just wanted to say that I strongly believe that feeling this way is normal tho, for us who have been through loss, pregnancies are always going to be tough, but the end result will be worth it! ❤️ If you find something that helps you keep positive, please share and I really hope this is your sticky baby!

@Hannah I’ve never made it further than 7 weeks both times so I’m praying that if I just get past that first hurdle I’ll finally calm down a bit

Hey, I second what Hannah wrote. It’s normal to feel that way. I’m at 22 weeks and still way more anxious about any potential issues and scans than I was when I was pregnant with our now toddler. Glad to hear you’ve got therapy already, that will help. I also fell pregnant after three months and was already signed up for therapy because of miscarriage. ‘Pregnancy after loss’ by Zoe Clark-Coates is a brilliant book with daily info/ activities, etc to keep you sane :)
