Pregnant after 2 m/c and terrified

[Maggie82]

Hi guys, this is my first time using a forum and it is lovely seeing everyone being so supportive .

I am just about 13 wk pregnant and trying to be happy but finding myself spiralling out of control. I've already got a wonderful little boy who is desperate to be a big brother but I have had 2 m/c, most recently in May this yr and the fear i'm feeling now is overwhelming.

My doc and midwife have tried to reassure me that just because it happened before doesn't mean it will again but I just can't seem to think positively.

I had to come out of work yesterday after suffering a panic attack. I am not sleeping properly. I feel helpless and am still grieving for my baby, has anybody been through a similar situation and come out at the other side? I don't know what to do or where to turn.

XxxxxX

Congratulations on your BFP. It is scary when you get pregnant after MC. We're your previous MC earlier than now? I'm assuming being 13wks that you have had your first scan? If it is causing you this much fear, maybe you need to have another chat to your Doctor? Perhaps there is something they can suggest to help with your anxiety? Hang in there, I'm sure everything will be ok.

My last m/c was at 14 wks in May just gone, the previous was at 11 wk a couple of yrs ago ... I been to see my doc today he was very helpful and has put me in touch with a counselor who can hopefully help me to deal with my grief and upcoming pregnancy. It has really helped just putting it out there and having people such as yourself for support.

Thank you xxxx

I'm very sorry for your losses

There is a group in this section, it's called PARL (pregnant after recurrent losses). The ladies there are lovely and you'll get great support. Without that thread I would have gone crazy for sure
