I think I'm pregnant again after recent MMC and my anxiety is through the roof

I'm now 2 days late on my period and I think I'm pregnant. I had a MMC with surgical management in October. This was the first month we were trying again.
I should be over the moon that it worked out again immediately, but all I feel is an intense fear and terror. I didn't even do a test yet, as crazy as this might sound, I just don't even want to see a positive test. I just suddenly feel that I can't do this.

I got my positive 4 months after my MMC (including surgery/medical/ lots of problems) I can assure you I really don’t think there’s any perfect time to feel less anxious lovely 💕 I’m currently 8 weeks today and got to see the heartbeat at 6+5. I’ve been close to booking private scans every single week due to my nerves but I’ve sat down and reminded myself - I CAN get pregnant, I’m pregnant today, I CAN do this, I’ve found myself in a much better place from having those daily reminders. You CAN do this lovely x

A glimmer of hope for you, I had a mmc at 14 weeks (baby died at 11) a year ago this month. I'm now 28 weeks pregnant with my daughter. It's been the most anxiety inducing, scary time but it's worth it and it does get easier, slowly x

@Layingawake83 if you haven't already and still feeling anxious speak to your midwife about being referred to the perinatal anxiety team xx
