Pregnancy after loss

[Ozzyseb]

Hey!
I didn't know where to put this thread. So hoping it's ok here ☺I had a miscarriage around 5 weeks ago now at about 7 weeks. It was our first pregnancy and we both struggled through. However we would like to start trying again as soon as we can but I just don't know how I'm going to get through being pregnant again how I'm going to cope with the anxiety and fear. I realise it's something that's felt in every pregnancy whether you've had a previous loss or not but this just feels so much worse because of the loss. I want to be positive and sometimes I am and I'm excited but then this nagging fear comes in and I just don't know how to quash it even just a little bit 😔

It's completely normal to feel like this. And a loss can take the shine off the excitement of being pregnant. All I can suggest is try to look after yourself and take it one day at a time. It can help to set yourself milestones to reach and each time you do you'll feel slightly better.

Wishing you lots of luck

Thank you @itscurtainsforyou that's some really good advice and I will be sure to take that on. Thank you again ☺ xx

I am the same first misscarriage in May had medical management I've had my first period so it's all very real now. I'm just so worried it'll happen again!

@michelle0507 sorry to hear you recently had a miscarriage too 😔 It's hard isn't it because on one hand you want to be pregnant again and on the other you're petrified. X

I hear you, it's petrifying. Currently all I can think about is getting pregnant (I'm at the tense end of a cycle (period kinda due if not late but testing negatives) after a mmc and surgical in April.

However, when I'm not a crazy desperate to be pregnant, I'm consumed with fear about what might go wrong. I couldn't bear to go in to that scanning room again at 12 weeks and see an obviously dead baby before the sonographer had chance to confirm and turn off the screen. Then I turn to pouring these forums for all the things worse than that...
With my first and the loss I didn't even consider these things and it's just not like me to obsess over things that haven't even happened. It's so. Damn. Hard.

I hope you get good news soon. You can do it I'm sure, you just have to believe that the loss was just horrible bad luck xx

@Ozzyseb I miscarried in May and I've just found out I'm pregnant again 5 weeks. I too am the same as you I'm absolutely petrified it's going to happen again however I'm just trying to take it one day at a time and not think too much about it (difficult) I know exactly what your saying though, they say not to worry as it can cause stress how can you not worry when your growing a tiny human! Don't let the last pregnancy determine your next one it will be a whole new one😊😊😊 fingers and toes crossed for you xxx
