Pregnant after miscarriage - need support

Hi everyone

We lost our first baby in September and now I am pregnant again, I know we are very lucky to have got pregnant again so quickly but I am terrified.

I don't feel pregnant and I didn't last time either. I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I know there is nothing I can physically do to make sure this baby makes it.

I've had backache for about 10 days which is how my miscarriage started last time. Other than that I have no early pregnancy symptoms.

Anyone else had similar experience?

First off CONGRATULATIONS...

I don't suppose that there is anything I can say to make the worry go but you have to try and just take your mind of the pregnacy.

I hated that feeling. I have not had any viable pregnancies and have been thru m/c too many times.


Waiting was awful for me. Tha's because deep down I beleived there was a more serious problem.
Please feel reassured. I have been on mn for over 2 years and I am probably the only one still without a baby f my own. I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I have met so many lovely and kind women on here that have helped me thru all of my m/c's. What I am trying to say is that there is a very strong liklehood that you and your beanie will be fine. Major problems are not that common.

Try and relax and make a consciuos effort to enjoy the pregnancy.

I wish you all the luck in the world....

BE POSITIVE....

HI Scubes,

Just wanted to say congratulations on the pregnancy. It's natural to be worried. I had a mc in August but it was my second pregnancy have a ds aged 3. Backache is a common pregnancy symptom so try not to worry too much you may be able to ask your dr for a referral to an epu for an early scan for reassurance.

Wishing you lots of luck

Hello Scubes,

Congratulations on the new pregnancy - but very sorry to hear about the miscarriage. It is really hard to believe in a pregnancy once you've miscarried, isn't it.

But do come and join us over here which is the pregnancy after miscarriage thread - you'll find loads of different people at all kinds of stages of worry, but everyone knows exactly what you're feeling and going through.

Thanks for the support ladies,

Put my message on a couple of threads and have recieved lots of wonderful advice already.

Have started looking at the other threads but need to have a day off work to start reading them all! It's good and comforting to find people who have experience and that we can support each other.

I'll let you know how I:m getting on via the pregnancy after miscarriage thread.

Thanks again xx
