Recently found out I'm pregnant had several miscarriages, one daughter who is nearly 2.

Every toilet visit my heart is in my stomach, every twinge and I think "that's it"

Constant symptom spotting, constant worry.....

When does this end? I'm just so negative about it both me and DH have barely mentioned the fact I'm pregnant I know why I haven't and I'm pretty sure I know why he hasn't we both think the same....

This one won't stick either.

It's a miserable time

Sorry to hear about your previous miscarriages.

I've recently found out that I'm pregnant with my first. It's my first ever pregnancy too so I have no idea what's 'normal' and what isn't. I'm 35 and have PCOS so like you, I'm hoping for the best but half expecting the worst. I think I've read too many forums and articles about miscarriage and tried to prepare myself for the possibility. It's a shame as I can't get properly excited as I am always so worried about it all coming to an end.

I feel sorry for DH too as he is obviously over the moon at the prospect of becoming a dad but I can't help but try to reign him in a bit 'just in case'.

What should be a joyous time is actually very stressful x

Firstly congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm pregnant after years of infertility and one early miscarriage and it's tough. I'm beginning to feel more confident since the 12 week scan but I'm still worried about every little twinge, still check every time I go to the toilet and still have a complete panic from time to time. I also haven't told most people outside of my family and I'm 15 weeks. Every time I try to I can't do it because I'm so worried it won't work out.
There's a couple of threads on here for pregnancy after loss and they are so supportive. Talking to people with the same fears is basically all that's got me through.
Good luck xxx

I was exactly the same even now at 22 weeks I still check the toilet paper after I wipe. I'm so paranoid of something going wrong. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks as my 1st pregnancy I then had 2 boys and now pregnant with a little girl I just keep thinking I'm not this lucky and dreading something going wrong. I think us mums cant help but be anxious during pregnancy
