I'm new so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. I had a miscarriage in August of this year. I was 15 weeks and it was very traumatic. A couple days ago I took a test and I was so sure I saw a line. All my friends and even my fiance thought I was seeing things cause I wanted to be prego again so bad. I felt in my heart the line was there so I went and got one of those digital ones that even tell you how far you are. I took two and I was right. I'm 4 weeks and due in August next year....oddly around the same time I lost my son this year. Now that the shocks worn off I'm getting scared. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom, to move to fast or pick things up that might be too heavy. How do I let go and let God after losing one not that long ago?

I'm very sorry for your loss hun. I lost my little one last Christmas at 14 weeks. I understand how devastating it is.
It's wonderful news that your expecting a rainbow, but I also understand how scary it is! I'm expecting my own rainbow now...24 weeks and just passing the 1 year anniversary of my mc.
The fear does ease a little with time, but for me it took a while. Once I had my 20 week ultrasound I finally started to relax a little and truely believe I'd have a baby in my arms come April. My only advice is to take it one day at a time and just accept that worry is part of pregnancy after loss. One thing that did help me was getting my own fetal Doppler. Once my doctor was able to pick up the heartbeat on her office Doppler, I went out and got my own. It helped to listen to the heart beat when I needed reassurance. I still worry now, but it's not as oberwhelming and I guess worrying is part of motherhood anyway!
Wishing you all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy! xo
