Miscarriage

[user1497982069]

Hi, I'm new to all of this.
I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant, after two years of trying.
Me and my partner are really happy, but I just can't get excited, and keep thinking I will miscarry.
Has anyone else had any feelings like this myself and can reassure me, I just think it's too good to be true 😢

Hi user, most women have some level of anxiety about this, as there's no way of knowing what will happen, and nothing you can do about it.

I got pregnant after a year of trying, and have had some pretty dark thoughts all the way through about what if, and fearing the worst at every milestone.

My only advice is to take a day at a time, celebrate that today you are pregnant, and look after yourself!

31+2 here today and I still feel incredibly lucky, and also still fear the worst, and will do until he gets here.

Be kind to yourself

Hiya. I always thought I couldn't have a baby. Although I never tried for a baby.

I got pregnant on the pill and wouldn't not let myself get excited UNTIL 12 week scan. Even then I was terrified. Had gender scan at 16 weeks. I'm now 17 weeks and feel a lot more at ease but still terrified it may all go wrong. It's natural but try not to worry yourself too much x

Thankyou all for you advice, I guess what will be will be, I'm just trying not to get too excited untill my 12 week scan anyway! But thankyou ladies for your advice x

Hi

Yes after a miscarriage last year ( I worried about miscarriage that pregnancy too) I have been extremely worried. Managed to get a 6 week scan- I had abdominal pains and they referred me immediately- possible ectopic and then I paid 50 for a private reassurance scan at 10 weeks. At 12 weeks- it was still there- heart beating away. Each scan I feared the worse and each scan has been great. But, I still worry- and no doubt will do the entire pregnancy.

I feel exactly the same OP. I'm 6 weeks after 2 years of trying and IVF. I'm terrified ill miscarry but i have slightly relaxed now. If your going to miscarry, you'll miscarry worrying or not worrying won't make a difference so just try to enjoy it
