Pregnancy after loss

I had a miscarriage before my current pregnancy. The miscarriage was at 4w, now I'm at 35w. For me it was nerve wracking until I at least passed the week I had the previous miscarriage in, all I could do is try to distract myself... but if it helps, early miscarriages are common and they are not an indicator of success in future pregnancies. So it's a blank slate in this sense

I had this happened in April last year, I lost my first pregnancy, thought I should've of been ten weeks but it never grew, then in October I found out was pregnant again, I only took the test to get my period to start, so it was bit of a shock, as I had to go into hospital to end my lats pregnancy I was nervous with this one, we told no one about it and at eight weeks went for a private scan to see how it was going, it was because I couldn't wait the twelve weeks and I needed to know what to do, I now have a beautiful baby girl.

I had a missed miscarriage in March at 11w where the heartbeat had stopped at 7w. It was very traumatic. I’m now 10 weeks pregnant and the only way I’ve been able to keep myself sane is to try not think about the pregnancy. It is so much easier said than done but it really helps. I’m not googling symptoms or comparing myself to others experiences. Social media is bad because at least for me it pushes miscarriage and baby loss stuff all the time. I try to stay away.

I had a scan last week and will have another one next week, it’s starting to get better and I allow myself to hope a little bit. Day at a time.

An early scan may help your anxiety. Try not to stress i know thats hard to do (trust me im an anxious stressful mess! I know its hard :'D).

Your little ones at an age theyll want to help you. Let them help. Mines always getting me my shoes and putting things in the bin (I usually have to fish load of things out because cups end up on the bin too...). But when little ones here theyll want to be helpful to. Grabbing nappies and wipes for you. Its all new and exciting and theyll adore them

I was in a similar boat, expect we lost our first baby at 9 weeks, and a few months later I got pregnant with my current baby who was just born 5 weeks ago 🥰

First trimester anxiety was unreal. There’s nothing wrong with occasionally calling the maternity advice line / 111 or even ending up at the out of hours GP to calm your mind down, as long as it’s not excessive.

A super early ultrasound helped me at 6w6d. I took a gamble there as that gestation might have been too early to properly see a heartbeat, but we still saw it anyway.

Pregnancy anxiety took me to believe in God and pray for the first time in my life, reading topics on fertility in the Bible.
