Pregnancy anxiety

[Lolly2019]

Hi all,

So last week I found out I was pregnant. Sounds silly but it was my birthday early April and I actually wished for it when I blew my candles out! Something I haven’t done since I was probably 7!!! I’m my head it felt ridiculous.

Either way my wish came try. Last week I found out I was pregnant, due 19th December. Even tho it’s something I wanted it I can’t be happy.

I’ve had two miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy. I just waiting for things to go wrong. It’s actually really upsetting every time I think about it. Every time I go to the toilet I just keep expecting to see blood. I’m just constantly nervous.

Any words of advice xxxx

Congratulations! You just have to get through it.
Unfortunately there is nothing anyone can say or do that helps. I’ve not had previous mc but I’m 41 and the stats were awful. I’ve got my 20wk scan tomorrow which I hope might help me but I doubt it will.
I’ve been checking knickers and feeling anxious for nearly 16 weeks now. Convinced it’s all going to end.

I’ve just worked to get to each milestone. So for us its been:
10wk scan
NIPT result
12 wk scan
20 wk scan

Good luck though. Odds are it will be ok.
Oh and I resorted to making a wish in a wishing well....

Take each day as it comes & don’t punish yourself for the way you feel. After what you have been through it’s only normal & natural & on these boards there tonnes of women that all feel exactly the same having been through loss. Distractions are good, hobbies or planning things to do. I’m in exactly the same boat so I know how hard it is - anxiety is suffocating 😢 I had a mmc last year & found out at my scan so now i’m terrified of scans & constantly worrying that this is all too good to be true. I’m now 18 weeks & have my 20 week scan next week so I’m hoping that all being well I can relax a bit more. All the best to you ❤️ Xxx
