3rd time pregnant in 6 months, totally terrified

Title says it all really, since January I've had an ectopic and a miscarriage and I've just found out I'm pregnant again (straight after the miscarriage) I've never gotten further than 8 weeks, and I'm so scared.
Clearly we don't have any fertility issues but I can't seem to hang on to them, I'm going to the doctor as soon as I can, but I'm not sleeping and trying to avoid stress is not working very well because I'm stressed about every little thing. Plus work have sent me home on full pay because my job is too dangerous now and I only started a few months ago.
Any advice before I lose my mind with worry.

I'm so sorry for your loses. I can't really give you any advice other than worrying won't change the outcome either way.

I had two consecutive mc's last year, one at around 6 weeks and one at 10+2 within a couple of months of each other. Currently 23+3 with our double rainbow baby. I had the same worries too but things can turn out ok, each pregnancy is different.

Today you are pregnant hun keep telling yourself that 💗

Ask the GP about progesterone suppositories. Messy but can sometimes help it stick. At least it's something you can do now without being referred on, if you know what I mean. Makes you feel less powerless.

Good luck.

Well if the first hadn't implanted in your tube then it might have been a viable pregnancy. So you might only have had one loss not two, if you follow me. Those aren't bad odds for this pregnancy xx
I had one baby and then two losses back to back, then my second baby. It was a nervous time alright but I relaxed once I got past 10 weeks (my previous miscarriages). Good luck xx

I second Elspeth. I had 4 consecutive early mc last year - all around 6 weeks. I found out I was pregnant again in Jan and was immediately prescribed progesterone. I'm now 26 weeks and think that it made all the difference.
