Pregnant after miscarriage

[2014ismyyear]

Yesterday I got 2 positive tests but am nervous as 2 years ago I had 2 miscarriages. Since then I've been trying with no luck and have recently lost some weight so believe that might be why. I have everything crossed but can't help but be scared x

Hi Hun, I understand your fear...I've had two recent miscarriages and now am pregnant again at 4 weeks. But I keep telling myself that each pregnancy is different. My Dr. told me to focus on the things that I can control to have a healthy pregnancy and to leave the rest in God's hands. I know that is so hard, because I struggle with my fear and worry too. I do believe that losing some weight can help you get pregnant and also makes for a healthier pregnancy, as does reducing your stress levels if you are able.I wish you a healthy, happy pregnancy. Sending hugs and good vibes and prayers your way.

I've had 2 mc's and a molar pregnancy, so totally understand your fears. I'm about 7 weeks (I think...not 100% as I conceived right after a mc, so no idea when I ovulated), and I'm just trying to take each day as it comes, and not think too far ahead.

How are you feeling about your scan? I've got mine in two days and am feeling so nervous about it. I just pray that we see a healthy heartbeat and I can finally begin to relax a little bit. I really hope everything goes well for you!

That's what I keep trying to think just look at each day! I'm really nervous about my scan but also excited as like you say I can then hopefully start to relax. I wish I could stop doing tests but they seem to calm me down. Good luck for your scan have you had many symptoms?

Oh my goodness...the tests! I do one every week (at least!) just to reassure myself. Good to know I'm not alone!

My symptoms have been pretty similar to when I was pregnant with my son; nausea that comes and goes, a bit of dry-heaving (sorry: tmi!), headaches in the morning, sore boobs and so, so tired! I'm probably more tired this time around, but I think that's just because I've got a 3 year old to run around after! Still, no matter how strong the symptoms I kind of want them to be even stronger y'know? How are you feeling?

I've been testing daily but I only found out Saturday. I've been really tired but not in work till tomorrow so just been relaxing, weeing loads, feeling sick and sore boobs! I know I almost want to be sick so I've got stronger symptoms

Hey there, I;m scared too. I just had a MC at 6w (baby stopped growing 4w5d) on May 21, 2014, then without a cycle in between, got knocked up with my current little one, who is about 5w3d along.

When I was at 4w5d with this pregnancy I was very nervous all day, but I got through it. I suspect I will be the same when I get to 6w0d like before as well. And if I start bleeding I will CRY like hell and rush to the ER, hoping against hope it's not a repeat of last time.

But otherwise, I'm trying to have a mantra of "unless someone tells me otherwise or there are bad dangerous symptoms, the baby is fine and healthy." There isn't anything one can do to control the outcomes of our pregnancies, so we have to leave most of it up to faith. Fear blocks excitement for me, so as long as I am afraid I cannot be thrilled or excited about my little one, and I desperately just want to be happy.

I am able to get excited when I'm having calmer moments. I hope I can become more zen about the whole thing and just enjoy the experience, because it will go by more quickly than we all expect. Then they'll grow up so fast and all the sudden BAM college graduation and and stuff and we're attending their marriages and seeing our grandkids....I sure hope it will be that way for all of us at least!
