Can’t imagine a baby…

Hi, my anxiety is sky high at the moment. I was wondering if anyone else has had such negative thoughts in early pregnancy after loss?

i can’t seem to imagine good news. I can only picture getting High risk results. I’m scared I can’t picture it happening because it’s never going to happen.

has anyone else felt this way and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy and all these worries didn’t come to fruition?

Yes, that describes me to a tee. I’ve had a blighted ovum discovered at a 12 week scan, a chemical, and another missed miscarriage. I’m currently pregnant and was so negative (if only to protect myself from nasty shocks). When I went for my 12 week scan I couldn’t even look at the screen until they said everything was ok. I’ve had my
20 week scan today and all is good so far. Wishing you all the best going forward x

Yes, me too! I know this may not sound like comforting news but I had many miscarriages (it turned out I had a chromosomal disorder that caused them) but it was a numbers game and I got lucky twice. You just need that one lucky break and I'm sure it will happen for you.

I have two (huge) kids now and still feel lucky every day. It's brutal at the time and makes every subsequent pregnancy terrifying. You have all my sympathy but please know that at some point, chances are it will all be ok, and there's no reason at all why this time won't be it. My successful pregnancies felt no different to the unsuccessful ones so try not to compare if you can help it and just keep the faith and take care of yourself and try to put bad thoughts out of your mind (I know it feels impossible but just do your best).

I'll keep everything crossed for you.
