I had two missed miscarriages in 2017 so when I found out I was pregnant again last year I was absolutely convinced it would end in miscarriage again. Convinced to a point where I just didn’t want to accept the pregnancy at all until after the first scan. The first scan was a nightmare, I was filled with so much fear and anxiety as this was where we discovered I’d miscarried the first two times. Anyway he’s absolutely fine and now five months old Smile.

It’s so difficult not to worry but the important thing to remember is the odds are truly in your favour. Good luck!

I know that feeling! I miscarried at the end of Jan and got a positive pregnancy test last week but have been having discharge since and a test this morning was negative so now its a waiting game to see if its a chemical pregnancy this time 😢.

I hope it all goes well for you xx

I had a mc in June 2017 & then fell pregnant again in the September. I found that pregnancy very hard, like you, worrying that it too would mc. Even through all the scans etc I couldn't fully relax until I had my baby in my arms & we were both safe & well. Thankfully he's fine & now 9months old.
I totally get where you're coming from; for me it felt like the joy & innocence I'd felt with my DD pregnancy (my first child) was all gone so I didn't enjoy my DS pregnancy as much as I was tense & stressed. But I'm trying to make up for that now.
Good luck.

Yeah I cant seem to relax or get excited about this pregnancy :( I spend half of my day in work going back and forth to the toilet to make sure i am not bleeding! I have the midwife next friday so hopefully she will suggest sending me for a scan to put my mind at ease 🤦🏼‍♀️
Aww that's great news hopefully you are making up for lost time from not being able to enjoy the pregnancy :) x
