Second baby-more scared

Hi!
Is anyone else just way more scared with baby number 2. Is it normal 😅
I don't remember feeling any of this first time around I'm just so scared something bad is going to happen.
I feel there's so much talk about miscarriage and baby loss, Which pre pregnancy I'd read womens story's and be in awe how brave they are but now Im just like 🤯
Megan markle, Chrissy teagan, amazing how they came forward to speak about it but it doesn't help my irrational fear.

I'm hoping after my scan on Wednesday I'll feel better and more reassured but the last few weeks have been in my head. Haven't spoke to my partner about it but I have my friends, it seems common amongst them that they had more worries second time around. Just wish I could enjoy this pregnant like I did my first 😟

Kinda, a friend has had a couple loses recently and then Meghan and Chrissy speaking up has it on my mind a lot. Last time I was aware of the chances (like the percentage each week) but it feels more real this time.

I have a scan on Thursday to work out how pregnant I am or do the 12 week screening and I'm really anxious to know it's ok. And I've known about this pregnancy for only a week whereas last time I knew from about 4 weeks.

I don't know how far along I am either! I've known I was pregnant since 3rd November! I think that adds to the worry! I hate to feel so negative but until I see the baby on Wednesday I don't think I'll be able to shake it. I fell after coming straight off the implant without having a period so in my head I'm like, will everything be ok, will my body be ready after having the implant in for so long and not having a period.. stupid stuff
