Previous history of miscarraige

[Rosey15]

Hi, i have just had a baby 3weeks ago, after a history of recurrent miscarraige (8 to be exact).. after each miscarraige i focused on getting pregnant again. And when i did i worried from the start. Then when i finally got pregnant this time all i did was worry again, saying to my OH once the babys born everything will be ok. All the worry will be over. Now i am of course overjoyed at my new baby, but find my thoughts wandering to the last few years of miscarraiges, and everytime i think about any of them my heart sinks, and constantly find myself thinking "thank god its all over"... should i speak with my midwife about this or not?

8mcs is an awful lot for anyone to bear. Did you ever have any counselling?

I can imagine it's pretty normal to think of them at times, if you are finding that you can't switch off the thoughts or they are affecting how you are with your lovely new LO I would definitely speak with the GP

Never had counselling probably through my own fault at the time of saying "im fine" . And also thinking that getting pregnant again would make me feel better. But now looking back it was a constant cycle of trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, or miscarrying. And now that i have all i ever wanted i thought everything would be fine. Its definitely not affecting relationship with LO, more just my own self catching myself overthinking it
