Constantly worrying about miscarriage

[EllieRosesMammy]

So I'm 5 weeks pregnant today. I have one daughter who's 3 from my previous relationship, her dad wasnt very supportive when I was pregnant with her and then we fell pregnant again when she was 3 months old and he was even less supportive. So it was a relief to him when I miscarried 3 months later in June 2018 at 12 weeks and 5 days. Obviously I was devastated and I suffered with depression and PTSD for the last 2 years. I very recently came to terms with what happened and have started to move forward. I'm with a new partner now who is amazing and supportive and actually quite happy I'm pregnant, but im worrying every minute of every day im going to miscarry again. I dont think I'd feel as bad if the last miscarrige wasnt so late on. Now every cramp or twinge I get I worry im going to lose the baby :( am I being daft? Or am I going to just keep worrying till I get past that "safe date"?

Hi, I'm in a similar position. I had a MMC at 16 weeks last July with my identical twin daughters. I am now 9 weeks pregnant. It constantly plays on my mind but I try and take each day at a time and be positive. Stressing and worrying will not be any good for anyone (easier said than done I know) xx

Aww sorry about your loss last year. But congrats on your new pregnancy❤ I hope everything goes well for you xx

Unfortunately I don't think it ever goes away. I had a MMC at around 9 weeks in between my two DC and am about to turn 9 weeks with what will hopefully be my third baby.

But I'm so anxious. I don't have such bad nausea today and I'm trying SO hard not to read too much into that.

I've had an early scan already and everything looked good but I know that can change overnight.

Ooh fingers crossed for you! Thats good that baby looked good on the scan though :) I'm wondering whether to book an early scan or not because like you said things can change overnight. I'm not sure if it would make me feel better or worse. My first midwife app is booked for when I'm 10 weeks and 3 days, so my scan probably wont be till after that x

The worry never stops, you just have to take it day by day. It get's easier as you pass milestones like 1st scan, a full trimester, feeling baby move etc
My 1st mc was at 12 weeks and I've had 4 others at 8 & 9wk so I can't relax until I pass the 1st trimester and see a wriggly baby on my dating scan. My most recent mc was in July, I got a private viability scan that confirmed a hb. It was awful to mc after seeing a hb so I decided to wait with this one. 11+1wk atm, 9 days to scan day. I have had 5 healthy children from 4 pregnancies so I know I'm capable of going to term, it's just hard that it's been 50/50 for us. Better than some, we have friends who had several mc's and never got to be parents.

Aww bless you, good luck with this pregnancy I hope everything goes well for your scan! I think I'm worrying more today cause I've woke up with a cold so I feel awful
