I’m pregnant again after a very recent chemical pregnancy that devastated me. Currently 11 or 12 DPO and really happy with line progression this morning. Even so im very anxious and trying to only test every other day but when i do them my hands shake and i get so stressed that it’s going to be gone again it’s like trauma triggering or ptsd or something. Seeing the doctor on Wednesday to talk about my anxiety. If i make it to the appointment I’ll have made it further in my pregnancy than last time. Really just reaching out for some support through these very early days.

Hi lovely
congratulations, I really don’t think there is anything that anyone can say on here that will take your away anxiety. I think it’s really normal to feel
how you do. My advice would be just try to keep yourself busy, if testing helps you to manage your anxiety then that’s okay. Do you have support?

Congratulations. I dont think theres anything anyone can say thats going to reassure you
Unfortunately you just have to wait and see and hope for the best.
Ive had 4 miscarriages , 3 in a row and im not pregnant again, so i understand your anxiety but sadly theres nothing you can and cant do that will change the outcome. V just try to relax and trust your body

I was in the same position as you op. It's scary. Just eat well, try and sleep and rest. If it helps my second pregnancy is now a teenager and bigger than me. One day at a time. Chances are it will be fine but loosing a baby is an awful thing to happen and it's natural to be anxious.

Hi lovely, I don’t really have any advice to give you but I just want to stand in solidarity with you as I am also pregnant after loss and it’s so scary.

Sometimes there isn’t anything that anyone can say to us to alleviate that debilitating anxiety but I hope it helps to know you’re not alone. Sending all the love in the world and keeping everything crossed for you 💕
