Pregnant after a miscarriage

Im struggling with really bad anxiety. I’m constantly thinking something bad is going to happen! I never felt this way with my first pregnancy but after falling pregnant again then having a miscarriage I now feel constantly worried about this current pregnancy I am 12 weeks. Please can any mums that how gone through this give me any advice how they coped. I would really appreciate it.

I am in the same boat, but I have been using labour affirmation even though I am just on second trimester, this really helped me. So try to find some affirmation which you can repeat every time you do feel anxious. If you are Christian you can pray about it. Remember this is what you wanted for so long and do not let anxiety to steal this beautiful journey. Each day is a milestone so let celebrate it.

I was and still am in the same boat. My first was a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks, but we didn't find out until my 12-week scan. This time, I spent every week worried about the outcome. When I went for my 12-week scan this week, I was so afraid of a repeat. I found that finding time to allow myself to experience the worries and let myself work through them really helped. As did protecting my peace. Anything that I found triggered the anxiety or worry I removed. Just be patient with yourself 💕

I’ve had 4 miscarriages and now 14+4. I’ve found my symptoms really reassuring and feel quite calm about the pregnancy. I’ve learnt that nothing is guaranteed and I can’t change the outcome, but this little one deserves me to feel excited about what will be and I’m embracing each day as it comes.

I feel the same had mmc in November I thought I’d feel better after 12 week scan as that’s when we discovered the miscarriage but I don’t it offered reassurance for a few days. I hate telling people I’m pregnant cause I have no idea if baby is still ok. We’ve booked a private scan for 2 weeks time my anxiety is getting worse as it approaches. I hope I start to feel a bit better once I can feel them moving xx

I’m in the same boat. I had a MMC with my first pregnancy then a chemical and now I’m 16 +2. I’m still anxious but it’s slowly getting better. The only things that have helped me are scans and time to be honest. It’s so hard, I still check the toilet paper every time I wipe but I also checked a website called ‘miscarriage reassurer.’ You put in your days and weeks and it tells you in % your chances of a successful pregnancy. Seeing that number increasing was also helpful for me. I’m at 99.5% now 🙂 congratulations on your pregnancy mama,you got this! ❤️

I had a MMC at 8 weeks, then had my little one and am now pregnant again. I’d say it gets easier after 12 weeks scan and then much easier when you can feel them move. I also had the pregnancy after loss book which helped loads x

Just want to say thank you so much to every single lady who took the time to reply to my post. Your experiences story’s have definitely been helpful ❤️

I’m in the same boat and totally understand the anxiety, thank you for posting. Some things I find helpful- but they don’t take away all anxiety - the pregnancy after loss book and pregnancy after loss app (although it’s American not UK). It’s normal to be anxious given what you’ve been through but some days are much harder than others xx

I’m also feeling the same, 13 weeks plus 5 and had a missed misscarriage last December. I’m further along this time however I think for me unfortunately the anxiety is never going to go away, I thought once I’d had the 12 week scan that my anxiety would ease but there’s always something to worry about and I’m overthinking every little symptom or when I have no symptoms. Im sorry I don’t have any advice all I can say is I’m taking each day as it comes, I’m Hoping once I feel movement that things may get a little easier xx
