10 weeks pregnant - had good scan - but can't stop worrying.

[toratora]

I am getting myself in such a state about the pregnancy and something going wrong again (I had a MC at the end of Feb) I had a scan last week which showed a heartbeat and that I was 9 weeks - so 10 weeks 3 days now. I am paranoid about every twinge and spend my life in the loo checking. I have two healthy daughters so have been through 2 normal pregnancies, but the mc is messing with my head so much. I have got my nuchal scan booked for 23rd May - and am convincing myself there will be nothing there now...still feel sick in waves and very tired...keep telling myself I am being an idiot - not helping though!

Just hoping for some words of wisdom!

toratora, congratulations on you pregnancy.

It is hard not to worry after having a miscarriage, but all ther stats are in your favour if you have had a good scan at 9 weeks. Risk of MC is less than 2% I think. The sickness and tiredness are good signs. Try not to worry about things too much.

come and say Hi over on the pregnancy after MC thread. Lots of support and positive vibes from women who have been there before.

I had two MCs between my DS and my DD who was born last June, and the thread was a lifesaver for me. I'm pregnant again so am back there again
