Pregnant after misc....any tips for getting through each day?

Just to fill you in on my background.
I have two ds, 5 and 2, and starting trying for another in Jan. Got pregnant straight away but sadly misc at 5 weeks. Got pregnant again in May and the same thing happened.
Got a BFP yesterday and obviously delighted, but really worried that once again I might lose it.
I know that the odds are that this pregnancy should be fine, but each time I go to the loo I get that sick feeling that I'll be bleeding (I know many of you will know this feeling only too well).
It's funny that with my first two children it never crossed my mind that I might misc, but with my recent history it's all I can think about. Because this will probably be our last baby, really want it to be an enjoyable relaxed pregnancy, and although I'm trying hard, just can't get these thoughts out of my head.
Know that there are many of you out there going through something similar. Any words of wisdom as to how you get through each day and enjoy the pregnancy?
Thankyou.

I had a missed miscarraige in Feb 2005 then gave birth to my DS in January 2007 (he was a month early!)

I started out incredibly anxious, but I realised that, if I were to mc again, I wouldn't feel any better just because I hadn't allowed myself to enjoy it or get excited...I would be gutted anyway, so why cheat myself out of however many days/weeks/months of happiness, anticipation, planning, excitement...not to mention the ridiculous levels of anxiety that come with any 'normal' pregnancy!!

It really worked for me...before my mc I was very, very anxious but with the next time round I was...resigned?...to the fact it might not work out but I would bloody well try and enjoy it anyway. It was not so unexpected - it had happened once and the fear of the unknown is sometimes worse.

No early scans in my area, although we went privately at 9wks and had hgc (?) levels done too. All very reassuring.

Good luck xx
