im 8 wks pregnant after m/c 10 weeks ago.
dont think i could handle losing this one.
have 2 beautiful boys and sometimes feel that im being selfish for wanting more. if id of stuck at 2 i wouldnt of had this heartache.
im thrilled to be pregnant and am sick EVERY DAY but im still worried. ive seen the babies heartbeat but i did last time so im not reassured.
i know its all in my head and ive never been this sick. its going to take time.
will i ever relax and enjoy this pregnancy, has anyone else been through this!!!!

I got pg straight after my third miscarriage - ERPC on the 28th of August, BFP (after ignoring it for a few days) on the 17th of October. Beautiful baby boy born at 35 weeks on May 20th. I never managed to relax and enjoy my pregnancy, but it all went well.

Hiya, sorry to hear what you are going through, I have been there too before dd was born but didn't get preg as quick as you, I waited for 2 periods (if I remember correctly)as advised by my doctor.

I didn't enjoy my preg as much as poss either as was constantly petrified of things going wrong.

I am now 31 weeks preg (tomorrow actually) and for the first 20 weeks I couldn't get excited. I had some early bleeding and my doc (who I have changed since) was so unsympathetic, he said "well, if you miscarry you miscarry, these things happen".

Anyway, I guess you just have to take it day by daypoint. Try to relax and lets hope and pray it will all be fine xxx hugs xxx

I lost my baby twins at 11 weeks but concieved ds literally weeks later, i was sad and still grieving for the twins but also full of olve for ds. It was a hard confusing time.

Remember to look after yourself.

Hi,

This is strange, I am almost exactly the same as you. I had a MC 13 weeks ago, and am 8 weeks pg now as well! I too have seen and heard the hb, but also don't feel "safe" yet, because I lost my last baby at 17 wks, so had seen it on the 12-week scan, and thought I was safe then.

I am waiting until as late as possible before telling anyone this time. I think i will be able to relax when I am past the point that I miscarried last time.

Good luck to you S&E'sMum. I know just how you are feeling, such mixed emotions.

SandE'smum - I had two dc's without problem. Two years later had a miscarriage and then got pregnant 2 weeks later like you. That dc is now 6 months old and gurgling away beside me at the moment. I freted through the whole first half of the pregnancy, and did not dare hope that the pregnancy was ok until the 20week scan, even then was a little nervous that things might go wrong, even though I had no logical reason for that to happen.

I hope that you and littlepeanut manage to take one day at a time, and not think too much about the "what if's" over the next few weeks. It is easier said than done. But I hope that all goes well for you both. Will be thinking of you.

hey meet your sister here, I had a miscarriage on the 31st of August and am now about 5 weeks pregnant so I quite literally got pregnant straight away.

I also have 2 lovely little boys too.

I really feel pregnant this time, before the miscarriage I was just suspiciously too well.

I have an 11 week old conceived under the same circumstances. I was scared every day of my pregnancy but it was fine. He did need to be delivered a few weeks early and I had pre-eclampsia but he's a healthy baby boy.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Enjoy it!

hi thanks for all your replies, nice knowing theyrs others out there.
i had my head down the bowl for the umpteemth time today and started crying because im a rubbish at being poorly but keep reminding myself its all a positive sign.
dh not happy though cos im not risking any BD until my scan and if quite honest it has very little appeal!!!
im feeling a bit more positive today but cant help saying if this one doesnt stick in every sentance.
let us know how u all get on. xx

I got pg with my gorgeous DS (now 8 months) exactly 10 weeks after miscarrying at 13 weeks. I felt really scared for a while but eventually felt more secure in the pregnancy. All the very best xx
