Help 😫

In my experience my miscarriage took away the innocence of pregnancy and it’s very difficult and anxious time. But week on week it gets better I promise, book a private scan if you can, do whatever you can to make it feel real to you. Being excited won’t make you more sad if something goes wrong. I sit here typing this with my 8 week old rainbow baby on my lap, it gets better x

I’ve had a few miscarriages but I can say I’ve time it gets better. The further along you get the more real it will feel to you the better you’ll feel about it. I lost a son last year and 17 weeks and now I’m 7wks 4days. I’m so nervous and unattached but I’m confident things will change

It sounds like a natural reaction, try not to be hard on yourself. Early pregnancy is one of the most stressful times of life in my opinion and it's natural for your brain to deny it's happening to protect yourself. I told my mum I was feeling very anxious and she was very understanding, hopefully yours will be too. I'm now starting to feel a bit better more excited at 10 weeks, so hopefully it won't be too long for you. Good luck.

Sounds like a very normal reaction for those of us who’ve had a prior loss, based on comments here and my similar experience too. After a miscarriage I just couldn’t let myself get too attached to my next pregnancy or believe it would last, but it started getting a little better when I got the NIPT results around 10 weeks and then as I had good scans after that. Now at 24 weeks I’ve seen his lil bones and feel the kicks every day and finally feel like it’s really real and happening. It just takes a bit more time now after your loss but you’ll feel that happiness and excitement with this one too ♥️

Thank you so much for your comments, it is comforting knowing that it’s normal to feel this way. Hopefully it does get better with time❤️

I’ve had similar story like you. I had a miscarriage in December 2023 and in Feb this year I found out I’m pregnant. I understand how you feel coz I felt the same- I wasn’t particularly happy or excited, I was too scared too feel happy I think. Even test results which showed my 48 hour HCG had doubled (which is a good sign) didn’t make me feel happy or anything. But then came the 8th week scan and when I heard the baby’s heartbeat and saw in the US that everything looked good, I finally cried. I think I finally understood that I was so scared until I had crossed the 8 week mark (which I didn’t cross last time) that I was so afraid. It’s ok to feel things, just give yourself a chance and trust your body, baby and god. Fast forward to today I’m in 32nd week and excited to meet my baby boy soon 🥹 Sending hugs and good vibes to you for your rainbow baby ❤️ Everything will be alright 🤗
