Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility Support Group

I felt like I was going crazy too, you are not alone there!
I don't how you can shake the worry. Experiencing a miscarriage and then bleeding really puts us in a fearful place, but we have to trust things are going to be okay and try to enjoy the pregnancy.
For me, I started feeling better after I saw the perinatologist and he did his thorough ultra sound examine. Up to that point I had 5 just look and see ultra sounds by the physicians assistant I see. Knowing the peri took inventory of the organs and measured the leg and arm and skull and told me everything is right on track allowed me to let go of the weights I had been carrying on my shoulders.
I am still worried everytime I go to the bathroom, my bleeding wasn't heavy and only happened on one day. I don't know if that fear will go away.
I am hoping that feeling movement will take away that fear, but honestly I think this is going to be the baby that keeps me from sleeping because after he or she arrives I will be up all night to check breathing!

Hang in there Amber... I think the further along you get the more at ease you will feel. Being on bedrest gives you a lot of time to worry, buy some books about twins and being a mom of multiples to help keep you distracted and focused on the future. :0)

I totally know what you are going through. I am only 6.5 weeks pregnant, after having suffered 2 consecutive miscarriages. From day one of finding out this time, I worried and thought I was immediately going to miscarry. I started off getting an infection that I got last time and miscarried. Then I have been having more of a discharge and like you, I am scared every single time I go to the bathroom. It is almost like I expect to miscarry again, which is terrible. Then, to make matters worse, I had first u/s yesterday and they sw the sac and fetal pole, but she was unsure about the heartbeart. All I wanted was some reassurance but left there feeling worse than before. I had her prescribe me some anxiety meds as I feel so on edge and te stress can not be good for me.

I don't think we will ever stop worrying. I have to just keep telling myself that it is out of my control and the worry only makes things worse....I know, easier said than done...hopefully the meds will help relax me too. Good luck and take comfort in knowing that you are out of the first trimester, so I am sure you will have a great rest of the pregnancy!

It is so difficult to stop worrying after a loss. I know I had a hard time. But I knew I had to make a decison to not worry or I would never get to enjoy this pregnancy. Starting about 16 weeks I made a decision every day to try not to worry and to enjoy this pregnancy. I reminded myself that this pregnancy was NOT the pregnancy I lost and that if I didn't stop and enjoy it I will have allowed the joy of it all to be take from me. It wasn't easy, and it didn't work every day, but as time went on it became easier. I'm 31 weeks now and having a ball. I think having the big U/S where I saw 10 fingers and toes, 2 lungs, 2 kidneys, the heart etc really made it easier. But I wanted to enjoy this. Though I have to say, I still dread wiping myself sometimes and I fully expect to find blood again. But I'm going to enjoy all that pregnancy has to offer. Even the farting, extra CM, huge boobs, etc.
