pregnant again and struggling with the uncertainty of what will happen this time

i'm a regular poster on this site but have changed my name. i've had two miscarriages in the last few months. i have a healthy little boy so the miscarriages were unexpected. last week we found out i'm pregnant again. i felt totally "flat" about it - not excited at all. now i'm beginning to start worrying all over again (something i have been trying so hard not to do ) about whether it will work out this time, or not. I am constantly looking for pregnancy "symptoms" to reassure myself the baby is still alive and constantly thinking about the whole situation. needless to say i don't have any strong symptoms, which is probably hardly surprising at less than five weeks pregnant [hmmm] i know fretting and fussing and analysing everything is the road to madness but i can't seem to stop it.
does anyone have any advice/tips for getting through these next few weeks while we wait to find out if this pregnancy is viable or not?
Forgetting about it/putting it out of my mind and getting on with life as normal just doesn't seem to be realistic.

sadly i lost this one too....what a nightmare. it has all turned into the saga i feared, now i've had three miscarriages and we're into the realm of tests, specialists etc. good luck to the rest of you, i hope you are luckier than i have been!

Oh kissmummy, I'm so sorry. I feel terrible that I asked now!

I don't know what the best case scenario with your tests would be. Obviously you don't want anything to be wrong, but I don't know whether it's even more frustrating if they don't find anything.

I will pray that your tests bring up something very simple and very easily fixable, like the Hughes Syndrome I heard about on Women's Hour last Friday.

I'm ok, thank you for asking. Every so often I feel sick at the thought of going for a scan, in a way that I hadn't with my pregnancies before my miscarriage. But I guess it's taking it one day at a time and being thankful that there hasn't been any bleeding yet.

Best wishes and lots more

Sorry, I meant that I will pray that if your tests bring up something that it is very simple... not more wishing problems on you!
