Thank you very much for your comment. I am almost 5 weeks pregnant and trying to be positive, day by day thinking only of a good outcome, but every time I go to the bathroom I feel this urge to wipe myself. I think it is normal. My husband advised me not to control it, that nothing I do will change the outcome. I know he is right, but it is so difficult. I have not told anyone and will only tell them after the first scan, that is how scared I am. Anyway, thank you very much.
This is 100% normal ! I use to go check and wipe anytime I felt “wet” just to make sure, after a shower, walk, any physical thing I’d do is go check after. Your husband is 100% right as well nothing you’re doing will change the outcome!! Don’t beat yourself up and try to blame yourself, you’re doing everything right to grow this baby!! It’s super hard trying to turn off these emotions, and you don’t have to. It’s good that you want this baby sooo much you worry, you’re going to be an amazing mother to this baby!! I felt the same way about telling people because I told everyone at 6 weeks and felt horrible after I lost the babies. But honestly with my son I told everyone at 12 weeks to feel secure but it was so lonely , tell whoever you want and trust! They’re your support for a reason any loss of any kind shouldn’t be dealt with alone.. share the good news, share the bad news because at least you’ll have someone there after it all!❤️
Pregnancy after loss is very difficult. I had lots of early reassurance scans (privately). It was the only way I felt less anxious. But otherwise I tried to remind myself that this was a new pregnancy and didn’t mean I was going to miscarry. And took each day at a time and celebrated all the milestones - 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 26 weeks (viability outside the womb) etc etc. hope everything goes well for you x
Thank you so much girls! I really needed to hear these words. I thought I was freaking out but I realized that it's normal to feel this way after miscarriages. This whole thing of not telling anyone is really lonely, I wanted to shout to everyone that I'm pregnant, that I finally got pregnant after trying so hard, but I'll wait a little longer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💛
I’ve had 5 in total last year, my most recent was in December 23 then I fell in January 24 the next cycle. I’m now 23 weeks tomorrow and all is going well. I did make some changes this time around but pregnancy after loss is very possible, remember each pregnancy is different too so there is always hope. Wishing you lots of luck and baby dust 💫🩷
I felt this too. All completely normal I also bought myself some black underwear as i used to over analyse every tiny thing and I felt like this helped as you can’t really see anything in black underwear! I too had the anxiety of wiping all the time. I always thought it would disappear at 12 weeks or 20 weeks but it never did. I too told everyone really early with my first pregnancy which ended in a silent miscarriage finding out at 12 weeks, second pregnancy I was hiding my bump until 22 weeks before I even told my parents! Such an anxious time. My midwife’s were great and really reassuring. Wishing you lots of luck
Thank you so much girls! You have no idea how much you helped me with these reports!💗
I’ve had 4 miscarriages and 1 living child I got pregnant with my son 2 weeks after a miscarriage. It went well for the most part. I bled for 20 weeks due to having a hematoma from having a pregnancy so close after a loss, I ended up getting preeclampsia and getting induced at 37 weeks. Other than those things it was super smooth and healthy and honestly I worried about losing him too , I took it day by day until the day he was born. The worry never leaves it just turns from “will I lose this baby” to “what will happen to my son when I leave” worry will always be there just don’t obsess.. day by day.
