How do you relax in pregnancy after a MC

I'm 6+5 weeks pregnant following a MC in July

Baby was conceived naturally (had been trying for 4 years and had to resort for ivf to conceive DS) so this was a major shock to the system. I'd just got my head around it when I went for a scan they said I was measuring 4 weeks when I should've been 7.

Over a week I told myself that maybe the dates were wrong, maybe I was really only 4 weeks but then I started to miscarry and it was the most horrific thing I've ever experienced.

I was so happy to have conceived again, but I can't stop thinking that something will go wrong. I feel sick with anxiety and every time I wipe I have the fear of seeing blood. Every symptom I'm clinging on to hope that it's all okay, I'm putting off having a private scan because I'm petrified it will happen again.

This pregnancy feels like my successful first pregnancy, so that's a positive and nothing bad has actually happened I'm just so paranoid.

Does it ever get easier? I'm a student nurse and starting placement tomorrow. I hoped that would help take my mind off it but I'm actually overwhelmed with fear that something is going to go wrong.

I feel like I'm never going to be able to enjoy this

I’m currently 33 weeks after having a MC a year ago today...
Like you I continually checked for blood and had a feeling of doom. My partner knew how I was feeling and said ‘a day at a time it’s not over until it’s over’ and I honestly felt it helped me❤️ I still worry about every pain etc but the first trimester I was beside myself.
Also with regards to your placement pleaseeeeee tell your senior charge nurse straight away. I’m a nurse and we would really want to be protecting you from covid, combative patients etc
