I have one lo who I adore. I had two devastating miscarriages before him and can honestly say, since the moment he was born I've been on cloud nine. Despite how happy I was, I was still haunted by my losses and that put me off trying again. When he was 3.5 years old, I took the plunge and tried again. I got pregnant quickly but as soon as I had a bfp I was plagued by anxiety (relating to my previous losses). After 3 weeks of worry and tears an early scan revealed I'm having another miscarriage. I really don't think I can try again. The 3 weeks I knew I was pregnant, I found it so hard to concentrate on my lo and not dwell on the anxiety. Now I know it's another miscarriage I feel guilty that I essentially missed out on those weeks with my lo for nothing. It seems I can't enjoy a pregnancy, I'm just consumed with worry and now with a third loss under my belt I can only see it getting worse. I'm thinking I should just be grateful and enjoy what I have? Has anyone stuck at one for a similar reason? Did it turn out ok?
