Highly anxious 2nd time pregnancy after first miscarriage

Hi all. Had my first pregnancy that ended with in a miscarriage last year July. Back story: had my first obs appt, did a scan and doctor said it’s small, but doctor didn’t say how many weeks. I assumed it was around 8-10weeks from LMP. Doctor didn’t say much except will see in 1 week but didn’t even make it to 1 week when I started heavy bleeding and had a miscarriage a couple days later. It was traumatic and so heart breaking as I wasn’t aware I was going through miscarriage. I felt so alone. Just found out I’m pregnant mid Jan with the second pregnancy. Had my first obs appt yesterday and doctor said foetus is very small likely is 5weeks. Now that made really anxious and stressed out as same words were said abt the first pregnancy but doctor again didn’t say much just said see in 3weeks. Got home and I just bawled until I slept. The fear got over my emotions. Events of the first time just played again. I’m really worried. My heart feels broken already. Just wondering what I could do at this point. I really pray this baby grows in the next 3weeks or it will be another heart wrenching event. 😢

Hi there! Firstly i would like to say congrats and that you are truly not alone. I too, had a first pregnancy that ended with a miscarriage last year June. I rmb there were alot of back and forth hospital visits during those painful weeks when the doctors keep saying it’s a 50 50 chance. Also started spotting and although my foetus grew a little, there was no heartbeat. It ended up into painful abdominal pains, heavy bleeding and a miscarriage :( Didn’t want to try again since that event but I just found out that I am pregnant a few days ago when my period was late. I have yet to schedule a first appointment however I am super worried that my first appointment will end up the same like last year. I know it’s hard to stop overthinking but i hope you’re taking good care of yourself, both physically and mentally. Wishing you all the best and praying for your wellbeing! You’ve got this mama. Hugs! 🙆🏽‍♀️

Hello dear, First of all, congrats on your pregnancy! Secondly, *hugs*. I know how anxious you might be feeling right now. it reminded me of when I miscarried in July '22 a few days after my hubby's birthday (he was absolutely devastated), and got pregnant again in January '23, 6 months later, basically about the same timeline as you just different years apart. Every time I visit the toilet, I'm anxious to see if I had any bleeding. This continued all the way till week 12 (the mark where MC happened). It was a very concerning period for both my hubby and I however once the first trimester passed, our worries faded away slowly, but not completely, until my babygirl was born. I understand how worrying it could be and I wanna let you know that you are not alone! Seize the day one day at a time and try to distract yourself. Just know that this is NOT your fault. Hang in there and all the best ❤️

Hello! Just sharing. I also had a miscarriage last year April and found out I was pregnant at end of Dec. I got fever for 3 days in mid Jan and went to A&E and got informed the baby can't be kept and will miscarriage. They mentioned it was leaking pregnancy tissue ( cause I was bleeding) and the sac is lower and cervix dilated or smth. I was devastated and really anyhow eat even tot I got diabetes. And My bday was my first appointment but turned out to be my checkout if it has flow out. And miracle happen!!! during the scan the nurse told me my baby is well and even have heartbeat! We were feeling super confuse, thankful and scared too! cause I was bleeding throughout till now so I didn't have doubt on the doc words! my point of sharing is just telling you, don't worry so much if it's meant to stay it will stay! Just have lots of rest and eat balance diet!

Hi there, I totally feel you as it’s my 2nd pregnancy now after my miscarriage last year April too. I found out I was pregnant around mid Jan. I’m currently waiting for my first gynae appointment at around 8 weeks in early Feb. Don’t stress yourself too much. I know how it feels to go through a miscarriage, the fear is so real.. I’m constantly checking for blood whenever I go to the toilet, worried if I have any sudden pain or abnormality. But try to remind yourself every pregnancy is different and rmb to just breathe. We can do it! 💪🫶

Hi all. I’ve read all your lovely messages and felt supported. I appreciate the time taken to compose the messages. 🫶🏼 Unfortunately, things didn’t turn for good. Foetus grew however, couldn’t detect any heartbeat. Feeling rather devastated and just waiting for the miscarriage to happen. 🤍
