Still worried even at 15weeks

[MadamRose]

I had a missed miscarriage in august 2009. I started bleeding at 11weeks and got a scan and baby had died at 7weeks. So when i feel pregnant again i was very happy, but also very worried. I had bleeding at 6weeks so got given and early scan and baby was fine, and since i've had my dating scan where i was 11weeks 6 days. And the person who did the scan said i shouldnt have anything to worry about.
However even now at 15weeks i am still worrying about miscarriage. I feel like its stopping me enjoying this pregnancy
Any advice on what i can do.

I don't think anyone ever really stops worrying. We try to. I'm counting weeks till I get past 22 weeks when i lost my son but think i wont be happy till my baby is in my arm.

I am trying very hard to be positive thinking positive must b a good thing. I look at me ever expanding tummy even at 8 weeks and smile and my sore boobs and i just think these are all good signs xx I have taken a weekly photos and they are making me smile when i look back through the weeks and see the difference in my tummy xx

Jst try and smile and be positive xxx

I didn't really start to relax (well, I started to worry more about other things) until 24 weeks.
From 12-20 weeks I measured myself across my bellybutton once a week for reassurance. However, everyone grows differently and I had a major freak out at 19-20 weeks when the measurements didn't change, so don't expect constant growth!

im still worrying at 30 weeks, i obsessed about misscarrge untill i got to 24 weeks, then at 25 weeks i had a bleed and became obsessed with other things going wrong, i worry alot about still birth now, its hard to stop the worrying once youve had a bad experience along with bleeding in a current pregnancy, but u will get through it hun xx

I had a missed miscarriage before this pregnancy too. I think those are hard, because you think you're baby is fine and then find out it was gone all along... it's a terrible thing to face. For me, it created a sense of disbelief that lasted until I started to regularly feel movement. In the early weeks, I reassured myself by reading the statistics. Once they see that heartbeat and you pass that first trimester milestone, your odds of losing the baby are very low.

Try to relax! I know it's hard.
