Pregnant again feeling anxious

[ThirdTimeLucky13]

So a bit of back story - this year I've had 2 MCs one in feb at 5.5 weeks and one in June we found out at 9 weeks that the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. I had a d&c and I'm now pregnant again after our first new cycle of trying

I'm 6 weeks today and feeling so anxious I was fine up until this point feeling positive and trying not to get over excited but today anxiety has just hit me like a ton of bricks and I can't seem to switch it off

I can't concentrate on work I'm trying to refrain from googling everything as I know that won't help

I know all the worry is pointless because I can't change the out come whatever that maybe I'm usually quite good at going with the flow you know the saying what will be will be

Anyway I have a scan at in a couple of weeks so I'm hoping that will help

I'm sure there's plenty of positive stories out there with happy endings it just so hard to think of right now

I know the feeling, similar background with blighted ovum at around 8 weeks then miscarriage at 8 weeks when baby stopped growing at around 6. I am now 17 weeks pregnant with a baby girl 🥰the anxiety never leaves, every scan has had me a ball of nerves because I think once you've had bad news at a scan you never forget that. But here I am and all going well, so just wanted to share a positive story with you 😊I have taken baby aspirin this pregnancy ever since my BFP, had read loads on it after two early losses. I'll never know if it helped but in my heart I think maybe it did

Best of luck for a happy healthy pregnancy @ThirdTimeLucky13

@hellymum21 thank you

Did your doctor advise you to take the aspirin or did you just try it yourself I did buy some but I couldn't decide whether it was a good idea or not? I know everyone has different opinions about it

I just decided myself. At booking appointment I told midwife and she said it was my choice, she said low dose (75mg) no harm to baby. However you should definitely speak to midwife or GP for advice if you need to. I know there are lots of opinions about 'self medicating' so follow what you feel best for you.

The midwife at my 12 week scan advised me to double dose to 150mg as that's apparently the new recommended dose. That is due to my age though (I'm 40) so they apparently ask all 'older mums' to take it

I honestly felt I would kick myself for not giving it a go after all the stories I had read. I don't regret it, so thought it worth sharing ☺️

@hellymum21 thank you I think I'll ask my doctor first before taking it
