I didn’t get pregnant straight away but after miscarriages I was an anxious mess the whole of my pregnancy! I gave myself milestones and with each one felt better, such as after 12 weeks the risk of miscarriage is less, 24 weeks then the baby would be viable if I had to give birth early for some reason, 37 week no longer considered premature.

Aww, no advice really, but just wanted to offer a hand-hold! I had 2 miscarriages and having decided to wait a while before trying again, I got pregnant "by accident" for a third time 2 months later! I did literally spend the first 4 months in a state of complete anxiety just WAITING for something to go wrong, but once it started to get more obvious physically I found that I just sort of relaxed naturally. I hope that it will be the same for you!

(And DD is 8 weeks old today, so it all worked out alright!)
