Does the fear ever go away?

[Clo]

I am pregnant again after a loss at 23 weeks (3 years ago) and a rainbow who is nearly 2.

It is very very very early days as I am only 4 weeks today but I am terrified of another loss. I thought it would be easier this time with having my rainbow...but its not. I constantly thinking about what if I mc and how will I cope.

I hope it gets easier as my rainbow pregnancy was soooo emotionally exhausting!

How are you all coping? xx

I sure hope the anxiety goes away. I am just 5 weeks 4 days and I am absolutely emotionally exhausted already.

I'm in the same position. Monday I'll be doing my second day of beta testing and having an early ultrasound. Hoping that helps.

Hope we all start to feel a bit less anxious soon xx

I'm terrified, too. I called my doctor and he is giving me a reassurance scan at 7 weeks. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep my mind off of it.

Ladies congratulations on your rainbows!!
I am pretty sure I'm pregnant again after my mc late December. I'm only 10dpo but have had those familiar cramps for 3 days now and I just remember this from last time. Also had a very faint pos last night so its looking that way. I could still get af at the weekend but I'd be surprised.
I can't let myself get excited until at least early next week when I'm having strong positives, and I'm wondering if even then ill be able to get excited?
I still feel so traumatised by my mc. I have those images in my head on a daily basis and my heart still aches for my baby.
I want a baby so badly but I'm so worried about the stress another pregnancy will cause me.

Its a hard journey after a loss, I lost my little boy last year at 22weeks.

I am 22weeks this week and I am terrfied of the same thing happening all oveagain.i never thought it would be hard emotionally but it is extremely hard. I won't relax until I reach 24weeks (viability) I'm praying for my miracle baby.

Wishing you all the very best in your pregnancies

Each day is different for me. We lost our first at 8w5d after we had seen a heartbeat. The baby never developed after 6 weeks. I go in for a prenatal orientation on April 15 and can schedule my first appt/scan after that. Part of me os very okay waiting. I feel different this time around and am trusting God 100%. Prayers for all of you for a sticky bean too!

I'm pregnant with my second rainbow. Dd is 18 months, followed a loss at 16 wks. Just after her first bday I mc'd at 5 wks, and I'm 10 wks with rainbow #2. I started off super anxious this time. Waayyy worse than w dd. Someone told me to think,"I'm happy because I'm pregnant today." It helped me a ton to slow down and just enjoy each day. It's much better now. I still have PgAL brain sometimes, but I've learned to relax and enjoy the pregnancy and dd. I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope this pregnancy is smooth for you!
