Please tell me I'm being silly

[Chester6girls]

Trying to conceive baby 3. I'm in the 2 week wait and feel nervous to bend down, do major movements, exercise, carry my children etc for fear of ruining my chances. I think I was much more relaxed the first couple of times but I lost a baby recently and really want another to heal somehow. Am I being irrational? Thanks

Gently, yes, those things won't make a difference to a possible pregnancy (did Europe's fastest zip line at 4 weeks pregnant unknowingly).

But be kind to yourself, it's a whole different level of anxiety following a loss, and it's so hard because it's something you have no control over. Nothing you do or don't do will change the outcome. Sending love xx

Very sorry about your loss. I'm really not that experienced as Im in the TWW for the first baby, but i think a little extra caution won't do any harm, however being overly worried about things may. At the moment I"m not lifting anything to heavy but walking a lot and try to do light yoga exercises.... it helps the mind settle a little I think. I wish you luck.

Im entering the TWW and had a MMC in February (also trying for baby number 3), I am the same I know logically doing these things won’t affect anything, but can’t help but think oh can’t do that just incase!
I know exactly how you feel!

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the kind words x

I know how you feel but in the nicest way, yep you're being silly xx

Our bodies are actually incredibly resilient and designed to protect an early pregnancy tucked away nice and safely inside. Doing the things you mentioned won't decrease your chances, try not to wrap yourself up in cotton wool and still live your life. I say this very kindly and with no malice - I've been TTC for some time so keeping a balance of normality is super important xx
