Pregnancy after stillbirth

Hi everyone, I had a stillbirth at 27weeks and had a c section to deliver my boy. It happened on 1st Jan when most people are celebrating the new year, I'm at the hospital crying for the loss of my son. After 5 months, my husband and I decided to try again with the advice from my doctor that it's ok to try again as she understood that we really want a baby. But after getting pregnant again, instead of being happy, my husband and I are living in fear of losing our second kid to stillbirth again. Are there anyone who went thru the similar situation as me and had a healthy rainbow baby? I'm hoping to find some peace with your story. Please do share it with me. Thank you for your time in reading my post. Edit: we did check with the doctor about what happened and the doctor couldn't find anything abnormal about the pregnancy and that everything was actually normal after doing some tests. She said it just happens sometimes.
