Pregnancy after miscarriage

[Rbowbbyx]

I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant after having a miscarriage last September, deep down I am over the moon but I don't want to allow myself to get excited or be happy as I know that can all change so quickly.
I haven't told anyone yet, not even my husband as I feel if I keep it a secret I won't jinx anything (this is ridiculous I know but my head is playing terrible games with me).
I also haven't made a midwife appointment yet, I honestly want to wait until I would be around 12 weeks and just go straight for my scan so I don't have to go through the filling out of forms for something that may not even progress, I have been taking my folic acid which is all I think the midwife would advise at this point anyway.
I don't even know what I'm posting for really, just wondering how people have coped with the anxiety of pregnancy after a loss? the waiting around is the worst

I had the same. I got pregnant about 2 months after a mmc.

Have to say, the 2nd time I also struggled, I felt the mmc robbed both me and my partner of that enjoyment because you're too cautious to get excited.

On the plus, as I had a mmc, and did medical management, the nurse in the Early Pregnancy Unit said I could come in for an early scan at 7- 8 weeks to check everything for my own peace of mind, which I did. I co texted the EPU directly to sort this.

From all my paranoid reading, I did come to realise that unless you have an unknown medical or fertility issue, the chances of another are very small. I'm now almost 35w and all OK. I was nervous at scans etc, but I don't even know when but a point came where I forgot to worry. Everything thus far has been textbook.

I know it's hard because you panic or worry at every twinge but I'd get registered and contact your EPU to ask for an early reassurance scan, saying you've had a mc before and are extra worried. Hopefully it'll put you at ease.

Really sorry to hear about your previous loss. Im at the 7 week mark after a MMC in August. The midwife appointment would also take bloods for any potential deficiencies and also would put you on the list for the 12 week scan.

i agree with previous poster - contact EPU. I managed to get a reassurance scan from EPU this time and they scanned me at 6+3 weeks. Prior to the scan I convinced myself the same would happen and refused to even contemplate a positive outcome. It’s hard still, but I’ve just been trying to take each day as it comes, take my vitamins and omega 3, manage the nausea best I can and get plenty of rest so I know at least I’m doing everything I can.

i hope this is your rainbow baby.

I just found out I’m pregnant a month after, I don’t believe it’s real still and think all the tests are wrong. My partner knows but I went for HCG bloods today and will go again Wednesday and I’ve kept that secret, as I’m worried I’m having a chemical. I just can’t get excited and it’s horrible, first time round I was so excited and happy and I just don’t think it’s real and I’m almost putting a mental block on thinking it’s real

Hello ladies I’m sorry I have just saw these replies haven’t been on here for a while I was driving myself crazy reading too much I had to come away.
I hope everything is going well for yous, and I appreciate your replies and support.
I went to the early pregnancy unit over the weekend as I had some bleeding which triggered my anxiety massively, but so thankful that I got to see my little 9 week bean bouncing away and a strong heartbeat 😍 I know its still early days and am not letting myself get too hopeful but it has gave me some reassurance and am praying everything goes ok.
