Pregnancy after miscarriage

Hi everyone
I had a chemical pregnancy in September, waited a cycle and then conceived on that cycle. Making me 5+1 weeks today with our rainbow baby.
Really trying to be positive and hopeful but over analysing every symptom or every twinge I feel, constantly going to the toilet and checking the tissue and it’s becoming really difficult.
What things did you find help you manage the first few weeks?
going to have a private scan but trying to wait as long as possible so we get a clearer image and hopefully see the heartbeat.
Sending love to anyone else in this situation x 🌈

It's so difficult and stressful to feel like this. I used an online referral service at my EPU at the hospital and they gave me scans at 6, 8 and 10 weeks and then the normal 12 week scan. I only knew they did this as I phoned up and said I was worried I was having another miscarriage. Maybe phone your early pregnancy unit and ask if they offer a similar service. I had two miscarriages in a row which I'd had registered with the unit in the previous months. I also took 75mg aspirin which seems to be routinely suggested after previous miscarriages. You could ask them about this too.

Hey, I'm so sorry for your loss and tentative congratulations on your current pregnancy 💕
I'm 30 weeks after a miscarriage at 6.5 weeks, conceived on the next cycle, and honestly the anxiety never truly goes away. I bleed in every pregnancy, even successful ones so had a scan at EPU at about 7 weeks, seeing the heartbeat then helped as I didn't see it with my loss but it didn't fully stop me from worrying.
I wish I had some better advice for you, but wishing you all the luck in the world x
